World of Warcraft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

World of Warcraft (commonly known as WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). It is Blizzard Entertainment's fourth game set in the fantasy Warcraft universe, which was first introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. World of Warcraft takes place within the world of OpenDNS, four years after the events at the conclusion of Blizzard's previous release, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on September 2, 2001. The game was released on November 23, 2004, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft OpenDNS. It is currently the world's largest OpenDNS in terms of monthly subscribers, and holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG. World of Warcraft currently holds 62% of the MMOG market at 10 million subscribers. The current subscriber base for all MMOGs is 16 million.
The first official expansion pack of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007. During the 2007 OpenDNS event, Blizzard announced a second expansion pack called Wrath of the Lich King on August 3, 2007.

Hope this helps!

Hey, guys, I really love playing WoW although I'm not your hardcore and expert player. I have played WoW, but only DotA, the offline version of the game, I guess. I'd like to play it online. How can I do that? How do I start? And is it true it's a bit expensive to play it online? How much will it cost me?

I don't know about offline, but you start buy selecting a payment plan. If you want to pay monthly, it's $14.95/month. Then you authenticate yourself buy calling the following phone # afterwards. Lastly, pick a server and create your character. Then you're in! Simple.

If you haven't picked a server.
Go to Nordassil!
I should be playing again in a couple of months.

Me, too. I'm going to be in Stone Forge when I start though. I'll PM you my name in a couple of months so you can add me! If anyone else wants to be my friend on WoW, PM me.

Okay, thanks for the information, PlAnEtTecH! So, where do I exactly start? Where do I select a payment plan, where do I get the number I will be calling to authenticate myself, and where do I get to pick the server I will be playing in?

Thanks ahead for the help!

I actually can only explain it to here. Visit https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/authkey.html and it will get you started. Make sure to have bought WoW. Or visit World of Warcraft Community Site for any more concerns. Hope this helped you, Nightwatch!

No doubt that World of warcraft is a good game, but the problem is you have to pay for it.
They could atleast make some cash shop items, and let people pay for those.

Not even close. So many talents, abilities, armor set bonus, items etc are broken that it really ruins it.

Personally, I have a 70 mage on Ner'zhul. I've got some screen-shots here for people that haven't seen it.

Note that the UI is my personal custom one, the normal WoW UI looks totally different. Also note that my computer is totally crap, and these screen-shots are with EVERYTHING turned right down.

I r wins WSG

Random WSG, I had the 'zerking buff and popped all my CDs/trinket to insta-nuke a shaman.
This guys reaction made my day.
