For fanatic or even regular online gamer, the title World of Warcraft is not an unfamiliar title. Around the world, it is estimated more than 11.5 million gamers subscribe to play World of Warcraft. But why is it successfully gain so much fame? One of the main reason is because World of Warcraft is very easy to access. Another reason is because this game is straightforward. Anyone, does not matter to have experience or not in online game, can play and enjoy the game right away. Newcomers in MMORPG wouldn’t have much trouble getting started.
World of Warcraft comes in 4 discs that you need to install on your PC. The installation is easy. After successfully install the game, you need to create a game account. Off course you’ll be needing internet connection (it’s an online game). To have access to play the game, you need to pay a monthly subscription fee. The typical subscription fee is US$19.95 per month. When you first purchase World of Warcraft CD, it usually came with free subscription fee for the first month. For the subscription, you can paid it monthly, three-monthly, or every half year. The choice is yours. Better to adjust with your own budget and need. At first you can choose monthly subscription and then you can choose three or six monthly. But I believe you’ll enjoy playing WoW.
World of Warcraft operates with a series of servers. In WoW terms, we call these servers as “Realms”. The realms located globally. You just need to connect to the nearest realms. This will make the game faster in respond. But no need to worry. Each realms is highly reliable and well maintained. This also another reason why World of Warcraft is the leader in MMORPG market in the world.
Welcome to Azeroth.Yes, Azeroth is a fictional world which World of Warcraft events took place. With its own unique history, myths and creatures, Azeroth is a very interesting world. Created by the ancient gods, Azeroth is quite similar to our planet Earth. It has beautiful forests, mountains, oceans, cities, caverns, dungeons, and many other interesting structure. Great wars and conflict has happen in Azeroth, making it a great world to have your adventure.
The inhabitants of Azeroth is not what you would find here on Earth. In general, Azeroth has 3 great continents which is The Eastern Kingdom, Kalimdor and Northrend. Each great continent has their own unique inhabitant creatures and climate. Humans, dwarfs and gnomes inhabit the Eastern Kingdom. The inhabitants of Eastern Kingdom is known as The Alliance. While orcs, trolls and taurens inhabit Kalimdor. And they are known as The Horde. The third great continent, Northrend inhabited by the wicked Lich King and its underlings.
Azeroth is a beautiful, rich and detailed world. Although the world of Azeroth is vast but the game is generally easy even for beginners. When playing WoW, you need to choose which side are you on, the Alliance or the Horde. Each side has their own advantages and disadvantages. While the Alliance has more pretty faces and physical, the Horde, on the other hand, has ugly and sometimes scary faces. Although ugly, the Horde in general are stronger in physical strength compare to the Alliance. But no worry, the Alliance is more agile and move faster than the Horde. So you see, each group has their own strengths and weaknesses.
As in other MMORPG, you get to create and design your own unique character. You get to customize the clothing, armor, weapon, and other accessories. In World of Warcraft, you are able to choose from nine different type of classes for your character. Some of the classes type are hunter, rogue, shaman, warrior and mage. Each classes has their own unique ability, strength and skills. Combine the classes with your group of choice (the Alliance or the Horde) and create a powerful combination. Maybe all of these, choosing group and then choosing classes, sound difficult for someone with little or zero experience in MMORPG. But trust me when I say it’s not as hard as it explain. You’ll find it easier when you try playing the game.
The objective of playing World of Warcraft is to explore new places, developing your character while fighting monsters or other player. Every level you need to play in this game has their own interesting area for exploration. While you explore the vast world of Azeroth, along the way you will find many items. The items can then be used to strengthen your character or you can also sell or trade them. Gold is the main currency in Azeroth. Collect gold as much as you can. With gold you can buy precious items, upgrade your armors and weapons. But off course, playing MMORPG will be no fun if you don’t have anything to fight with. In your adventure, you can fight monsters and savage creatures. Sometimes fighting monsters is the only way for you to progress in this game.
The control in World of Warcraft is easy to handle. The control system is sensible and makes good use of the keyboard and mouse. A newbie wouldn’t have much problem mastering the control. World of Warcraft also includes in-game camera which allow us to look around and have a full view of the environment.
