WORLD OF WARCRAFT

I started playing this game in February. This game is a MMORPG game. In long form it is known as Massively Multi-player Online Role-playing Game. I had no idea of what this game was. I had tried final fantasy but this is way better than final fantasy. Ever since my brother bought this game for me, I was hooked on it ever since. The game itself cost $99, as it was a special offer in the expo sales. The game card itself costs $45. The price was bit ex. But it was worth it. The actual price right now is $79.90 for the game, game card costs $49.90. The game consists of four discs. After installing the game you will need to register on the blizzard website to confirm your account. Your game card once registered will tell you the day your card will expire, it is then time for you to get a new one. If not it will deduct from your credit card approx $49.90. So if you want to unscribe you should do it on the net itself. This game can’t be played if you don’t have a internet access and if you have you have to use broadband. If not your game will lag, as there are over 4 million people playing this game from all over the world. That is why you will need a fast internet connection as to prevent lag and enjoy your play time. There are a lot of places waiting for you to discover in this game. There are dungeons waiting for you to explore.

You can choose from the Alliance or the Horde. There are four races to choose from. The Alliance has Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves and Gnomes. The Horde has Orcs, Undead, Taurens and Trolls. Each of these races has certain classes they can use. The classes are warrior, rogue, warlock, mage, hunter, druid, shaman and priest. So you can choose from a lot of choices. You can even customize your character and their name. Or even add in your own name. But keep in mind that you have a set of names, as your names might be taken by others. Every race has their unique starting area, from there it is up to you to choose from where you want to go, and what quests you want to do and even make friends or you might make even make enemies. Anyway try to make friends. What cool about this game is that the system on the experience play. It is adjusted in such a way that if you kill lower level creatures you will not gain any experience. This is to prevent players from abusing the game and making the game boring. So don’t be a hero and kill all the lower enemies as you will not gain any experience. 10 kills, 100 kills or 1000 kills your experience will not go up. So forget it and kill enemies higher than your level or the same level as you. You can always group with people if you find the enemies are too hard. Usually the most difficult part is the dungeons or elite quests where the enemies are tougher than the normal ones you will find. If you died you will be resurrected at the nearest graveyard. If you don’t want to collect your corpse you will have to pay a 10 minutes resurrection sickness. This attribute will reduce all your armor and your strength for ten minutes. You will also get to ride on a mount if you are level 40. This a long process as you need to collect around 100 gold. 20 gold for your training and 80 gold for your mount. The legendary mount costs 1000 gold. This figure is a rough estimate as it varies from race to race. To find out more play this game and you will find out why.
