The World of Warcraft to put it quite simply, is a game. It’s a very large game with a very large player base but it is nevertheless still a game, and when you get right down to it, it spans continents, races, ages and even worlds.
There is nothing quite like it anywhere else although many others have tried. They haven’t failed, but they can’t exactly live up to the standards set by the World of Warcraft.
First released to the world (as we know it, that is), in November of 2004, World of Warcraft is what is known as an MMORPG. That’s Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game to those of us who are slightly clueless in that respect.
World of Warcraft is a fantasy game where players can take on the guise of different characters in the world known to all as Azeroth, the place where World of Warcraft is set.
If you’re a gaming addict then this game is one of the better MMORPG’s which you should try if you get the chance to. It’s not a free game and to play it you will have to pay for it.
However, you do have the choice of playing the World of Warcraft trial version for free. This can be downloaded from the World of Warcraft website, or from numerous other official World of Warcraft websites.
If you decide to go with this option to experience the World of Warcraft in all its game playing glory then you also get the chance to create your very character, which can be fun and interesting in and of itself.
Also if you decide to go with World of Warcraft and get yourself an account, the character you created for the trial version can still be used. But now that you have a better idea about the game you might want to create a different character, then again you might want to stay with your first World of Warcraft creation.
Whatever takes your fancy you will find that you have what amounts to an unlimited number of characters in the ridiculously high number of 50 characters. Think about it, 50 characters? Now go even further with the thought that you will also be unable to play with more than one character at a time. It seems unlimited now doesn’t it?
Most people will in fact play with more than one character though. This means that they will create a handful of characters, (some people will take full advantage of the complete 50 character allowance).
This will in turn allow them to expand their playing range in World of Warcraft unlike in some other MMORPG’s. And ultimately that’s what the whole thing is all about – getting the most you can out of your game playing and the various characters, places, things and quests available in the World of Warcraft.
