World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created by Blizzard Entertainment. The game takes place in a setting Blizzard has used for other games using the name “Warcraft”. It has seven expansions, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor, World of Warcraft: Legion and World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans was a real-time strategy game. So were Warcraft 2 and its add-on, Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft 3 and its add-on, Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne. World of Warcraft is different than the other games because it is a MMORPG. This means that many people from around the world play together in the online world.

Gameplay

Players move through the game by gaining experience from killing enemies and finishing quests that are given throughout the game. If a player has enough experience, he will gain a level. There are 120 levels a player can get, which is made higher by each expansion by 10 or 5. They may continue to grow even more powerful at the highest level by getting items from bosses in instances and raids. World of Warcraft has developed a community of ‘raiding guilds’ that compete with each other for ‘first kills’ on bosses in new raid instances, dungeons that require 10 to 25 players to work together to take down really hard Alia bosses.

Players are allowed to choose from a number of races and classes.
