World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is one of the most influential MMORPGs ever created, transforming Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft universe into a huge persistent online world. Players can create characters from different races and classes, explore Azeroth, complete quests, fight monsters, join guilds and take part in enormous battles. Its combination of accessible controls, extensive content and social systems helped bring MMORPGs to a much broader audience. Over the years the game expanded through numerous major updates and expansions, adding continents, classes, stories and an almost unreasonable number of things to collect. It became famous not only for its scale but also for the amount of time players could happily spend inside it. World of Warcraft is less a single game than a long-running virtual second home for millions of adventurers.
