Details about the game
So what's so great about this 'WoW' game anyways? How good could one game possibly be to entice several million
subscribers to play roughly $15.00 a month just to play? Well the answer is: pretty damn good! The reviews don't
lie, and this game has obtained quite
the reputation. That's a link to the game's release day review. Very impressive by all means. And since then the
game has evolved significantly with two massive expansions, each adding hundreds of hours of gameplay. That's right,
hundreds! In WoW, one creates a (somewhat) unique character, under one of two factions,
The Alliance , and
The Horde . These are the two opposing
factions which were created due to a great war. Each faction has 4 unique races to play, and many class to choose
from. Most of the races start in varying cities scattered about a massive, and beautiful world. Depending on where
you start, your beginning quests and plot vary, making playing multiple characters somewhat rewarding. The world is
so vast, it would take many hours of traveling if one would try to walk from one end to the other. So what does one
do in this giant world? Although most of your time will be spent either walking to or from a quest objective, or
fighting an enemy, the game is quite enthralling. Each quest, and battle kill rewards your character with experience
points, and when enough are required, your character levels up. Your hero becomes stronger, and learns new abilites,
and is ready to take on increasingly tougher challenges. Beginning quests are as mundane as gathering flowers or
killing pigs and pests. But as you increase in power, amazing challenges will become within grasp. You will be send
on the back of a dragon to fight in the sky against other dragons, or take part in a secret mission to take down a
powerful troll lord. There is literally, and easily hundreds, or several thousand hours of gameplay to be had if you
really get interested. These sheer lengths of time potentially dropped into the game is just the beginning of why I
believe WoW is an addictive game.
Now were getting somewhere. We know some good details. The game is played by an enourmous amount of people, it has
amazing ratings from all types of sources, the game can be incredibly epic, and there are hundreds of hours of
adventure to be had. Let's head back to the home page and we'll get to the gritty details
