World of Warcraft Online – Millions of Players Online
I remember years ago when I wanted to play a game I had to ask my closest friends. We finally sat down either at the kitchen table or occasionally in the living room. Nowadays it is different. Do not get me wrong I still like to play a good game of Monopoly once in a while but who wants to play with me if I feel the urge of playing at 2:00 am?. This problem is gone, now I just have to fire up my trusty computer and go online with a gaming universe. It can be night or day, any days of the week, there is always people ready for playing. No more asking to get my friends to play with me. I guess you have heard about World of Warcraft online? If not well, you might have been living under a rock or you are simply not interested in online games. Let me tell you about this great game.
Azeroth is a world in which lengthy and tumultuous history is forged in the fires of continuous conflict. It has been four years since great chaos reigned over this burned world and King Arthas of Lord Aeron was driven mad by recurring visions of the Frozen Thrown of Icecrown. As it was inevitable, history now repeats itself as armies of the Horde and the Alliance prove their mettle on battlegrounds and clash weapons and magic in huge, organized territorial wars. Be careful your time has come.
Choose a side, hone your abilities, and print your mark on Azeroth history. World of Warcraft is the first MMOG in the four part Warcraft series, with previous Warcraft titles being RTS games. Like most MMOs, players can find adventure in fighting many kinds of monsters and in performing missions given by many NPCs throughout Azeroth.
In World of Warcraft, success in these actions yield rewards in the form of money, loot and experience. Players can also take part in PvP battles in the forms of dueling and fights with gamers of different factions. Most monsters and quests can be handled solo in the early to middle stages of exploration around Azeroth. Beyond that point, however, more and more gameplay will require a good team of gamers, generally two to five in number. Large-scale raids can require up to 40 gamers to succeed. At level 40, gamers can get a mount based on their character's race and reputation, which can appear at will. These are expensive to purchase and train, but add to the player's status and very much increase their speed of travel.
Unfortunately, gamers can not engage in combat while on a mount. The cap level in World of Warcraft is now 70 with the new game expansion, with rewards for successful raids at this level being in the form of exceptional loot. Since the first day back in November 2004, I have played World of Warcraft, and I can say that this great online game is exciting to play!
Just a little advice regarding online gaming. It is sure a lot of fun but do not lose too much sleep over it or your best friends for that matter. There will be new games coming out for years to come. What is new today will be old tomorrow. But a good friend is worth a lot more to me and last a lot longer.
