I remember years ago when I felt like playing a game I had to ask my best friends. We then sat down either at the kitchen table or occasionally in the living room. Today 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 gaming. No more begging 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 definitely not interested in online gaming. Let me tell you about this great game.
Azeroth is a universe in which lengthy and turbulent past is forged in the fires of constant conflict. It has been four years since chaos reigned over this scarred world and King Arthas of Lord Aeron was becoming mad by recurring visions of the Frozen Thrown of Icecrown. As it was inevitable, past now repeats itself as armies of the Horde and the Alliance prove their mettle on battlegrounds and clash weapons and magic in enormous, organized territorial wars. Be careful your time has come.
Choose an alliance, polish your abilities, and engrave 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. Players, like a lot of MMOs can find adventure in fighting various monsters and in accomplishing missions offered by many NPCs throughout Azeroth.
In World of Warcraft, success in these endeavors 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. Past that point, nonetheless, more and more gameplay will necessitate a good team of gamers, usually two to five in number. Large-scale raids can require up to 40 gamers to succeed. When reaching level 40, gamers are able to get a mount based on their character's race and reputation, which can be summoned on demand. These are expensive to get and train, but add to the player's status and really increase their speed of travel.
Regretably, gamers can not engage in combat while on a mount. The cap level in World of Warcraft is now 70 with the new expansion, with bonus for victorious raids at this level being in the form of outstanding loot. Since the first day back in November 2004, I have played World of Warcraft, and I can affirm that this online game is a blast to play!
Just a little warning 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.
