Now for something completely different.

World of Warcraft.

That's right World of Warcraft, a.k.a. WoW. For those people who live under a rock and do not now what WoW is I will inform you (on something you should already know). WoW is a MMORPG which means Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game... MMORPG is much easier to write. And an MMORPG is a game (GAME) that requires an Internet connection (ONLINE) where many people (MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER) can come together and play any type of character they want (ROLE PLAYING).

There have been many MMO's (shortened version of MMORPG, because apparently even the abbreviation is to long) before WoW, but WoW is by far the best, and most popular. It won countless awards when it was released in 2004, including Best Game of the Year from many gaming websites and magazines.

The man point of WoW as with any MMO is to lvl up your character by defeating monsters and accomplishing quests. Quests are missions given out by NPC's (non-player characters) that usually include killing monsters or collecting certain items. In WoW there are many different kinds of characters, first they are broken up by Faction, in WoW there are two factions Horde and Alliance, which have an uneasy treaty with each other. Next the characters are broken down by race, originally there were 8 races 4 on each faction they were Tauren, Undead, Troll, and Orc on Horde, and Human, Night Elf, Dwarf, and Gnome on Alliance, but with the release of the expansion The Burning Crusade (BC for short) they have introduced 2 new races. 1 on Alliance named Draenei, and 1 on Horde named Blood Elf.

AND the characters are further broken down by Class, the classes are, Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Priest, Warlock, Mage, Paladin, Druid, and Shaman. But only certain Races can be certain Classes, I wont say which ones because it would take to long and its easy to find out once you Download the game.

That's all I'll say for now, More later... eventually.
