Game description via
Wikipedia:
World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (
MMORPG) created in 2004 by
Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth released game set in the fantasy
Warcraft universe, which was first introduced by
Warcraft:
Orcs & Humans in
1994. World of Warcraft takes place within the Warcraft world of
Azeroth, approximately four years after the events at the conclusion of
Blizzard's previous Warcraft release,
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Blizzard Entertainment announced World of Warcraft on
September 2,
2001. The game was released on
November 23, 2004, on the
10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise.
The first expansion set of the game,
The Burning Crusade, was released on
January 16,
2007. The second expansion set,
Wrath of the Lich King, was released on
November 13, 2008. The third expansion set, Cataclysm, was released on
December 7,
2010. The fourth expansion set,
Mists of Pandaria, was released on
September 25,
2012. The fifth expansion set,
Warlords of Draenor, was announced at
BlizzCon 2013.
With almost seven million subscribers as of
August 2014, World of Warcraft is currently the world's most-subscribed MMORPG, and holds the
Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG by subscribers.
Having grossed over 10 billion dollars
USD as of July 2012, it is also the highest grossing video game of all time, surpassing
Call of Duty: Black Ops at 1.5 billion dollars. In
January 2014 it was announced that more than
100 million accounts had been created over the game's lifetime.
World of Warcraft is set in the same universe as the
Warcraft series of real-time strategy games, and has a similar art direction. World of Warcraft contains elements from fantasy, steampunk, and science fiction: such as gryphons, dragons, and elves; steam-powered automata; zombies, werewolves, and other horror monsters; as well as time travel, spaceships, and alien worlds.
World of Warcraft takes place in a 3D representation of the Warcraft universe that players can interact with through their characters. The game world initially consisted of the two continents in Azeroth: Kalimdor and the
Eastern Kingdoms. Three separate expansions later added to the game's playable area the realm of
Outland and the continents of Northrend and Pandaria. As a player explores new locations, different routes and means of transportation become available.
Players can access "flight masters" in newly discovered locations to fly to previously discovered locations in other parts of the world. Players can also use boats, zeppelins, or portals to move from one continent to another. Although the game world remains relatively similar from day to day, seasonal events reflecting real world events, such as
Halloween,
Christmas,
Children's Week,
Easter, and Midsummer have been represented in the game world. Locations also have variable weather including, among other things, rain, snow, and dust storms.
A number of facilities are available for characters while in towns and cities. In each major city, characters can access a bank to deposit items, such as treasure or crafted items. Each character has access to personal bank storage with the option to purchase additional storage space using in-game gold. Additionally, guild banks are available for use by members of a guild with restrictions being set by the guild leader.
Auction houses are available for players to buy and sell items to others in a similar way to online auction sites such as eBay. Players can use mailboxes, which can be found in almost every town. Mailboxes are used to collect items won at auction, and to send messages, items, and in-game money to other characters.
