World Of Warcraft l Introduction






As a massively multiplayer online game, World of Warcraft enables thousands of players to come together online and battle against the world and each other. Players from across the globe can leave the real world behind and undertake grand quests and heroic exploits in a land of fantastic adventure.

World of Warcraft draws heavily upon the lore of the Warcraft universe. Long-time fans of the Warcraft games are finally able to step into the world from a player's perspective, and experience the universe firsthand. People, places, and units from the strategy games are finally brought to life in World of Warcraft.
You can visit such places as the Burning Steppes, where Grom Hellscream (Orc Hero) fell in battle against the demon lord Mannaroth, and Ironforge, where the dwarves make their home below the mountain. Legendary heroes, such as Thrall, Cairne Bloodhoof, and King Magni Bronzebeard, are also in the game, presiding over their respective peoples as leaders in their race's capitals.


Questing
Samophlange QuestQuests are a big part of World of Warcraft. Like most other role-playing games, World of Warcraft lets you advance in level as you gain experience. Experience can be gathered by killing monsters, exploring new destinations, and completing quests. Unlike in other games, quests are a significant tool for level advancement. Players who try to level up through sheer combat will never advance as fast as those who combine questing with monster killing.


Instance Dungeons

Entrance to an InstanceTo promote the idea of epic adventuring with friends, World of Warcraft also introduces a concept called the instance dungeon. Instance dungeons are dungeons in the world that spawn specifically for each group of adventurers that enter them. Each time a group enters such an instance, a unique version of it spawns for that group only. This means no other players can play in that instance and bother the group, steal kills or treasure from the party, and hinder its play experience.

Player-versus-Player Combat
"I'm glad I'm not on a PvP Realm"Player-versus-player gameplay is very important to World of Warcraft. However, the designers are mindful that players are very divided about this issue. Thus, Blizzard is made sure that there are two different Realm types at launch. On the normal Realms, PvP combat is entirely consensual. You cannot be attacked by other players unless you want to be. The other Realm type is player-versus-player, and on this server, you can sometimes be attacked by players of the opposing faction without warning.

These are a just a few aspects of the game, as you progress in the game there is a greater variety of these aspects open for you.
