What is World of Warcraft?

[red_ned]

Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again.

World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Being "Massively Multiplayer," World of Warcraft allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.


A dedicated live team will create a constant stream of new adventures to undertake, lands to explore, and monsters to vanquish.

Adventure together with thousands of other players simultaneously.

Explore an expansive world with miles of forests, deserts, snow-blown mountains, and other exotic lands.

Join the Horde or the Alliance as one of 8 playable races.

Select from 9 classes, including holy Paladins, shape-shifting Druids, powerful Warriors and Mages, demon-summoning Warlocks, and more.

Encounter many familiar and new Warcraft characters and monsters.

Enjoy hundreds of hours of gameplay with new quests, items, and adventures every month.

Journey through an epic world filled with dungeons of different styles and depths.

Explore 6 huge capital cities, which serve as major hubs for the races inhabiting them.

Practice various professions to help locate reagents, make and enhance custom items, acquire wealth through trade with other players, and more.


Purchase tickets for air travel along a number of routes flown by creatures such as Gryphons and Wyverns. For global transportation, travel by Boat or Goblin Zeppelin. Once a certain level has been achieved, players can choose to purchase permanent personal mounts.
