A Beginners Guide To WoW

In World of Warcraft, players can progress at their own pace and pit their skills against multiple opponents.

There are two types of characters:

1) Player Characters (controlled by "real people)

2) Non-Player Characters (controlled by the games' software)

There are nine character classes that you can choose from, each class having its own unique set of talents and abilities. You can, depending on the class of character that you have, choose to build your character's talent trees for damage-per-second (DPS), tanking, healing or a combination. Your character can earn copper, silver or gold to fund your adventures and in addition, you will need to work on the different skills for your character.

The Horde and Alliance are opposing factions locked in a struggle for control of the land - and neither side is backing down. Horde and Alliance players can battle each other, but they cannot interact, trade or even talk to each other. So if you have friends you would like to play with, make sure you belong to the same factions.

WOW is Blizzard Entertainment's 4th game in the Warcraft series and is now played by over 10 million people world wide and it starts 4 years after the setting of Warcraft III in the world of Azeroth. For more information on Word of Warcraft visit Blizzard Entertainments main site here.
