The World of Warcraft to put it quite simply, is a game. It’s a very large game with a very large player base but it is nevertheless still a game, and when you get right down to it, it spans continents, races, ages and even worlds.

In World of Warcraft, you create your alter ego by choosing from a variety of colorful races and powerful classes, and then you begin exploring, questing, and battling in Azeroth. World of Warcraft came after Warcraft III, another fun role playing computer game. The game is a perfect depiction of the term fantasy, the landscapes are beautiful, the characters and animals are not of this world, and the structures are massive.

First released to the world (as we know it, that is), in November of 2004, World of Warcraft is what is known as an MMORPG. That’s Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game to those of us who are slightly clueless in that respect.

But in contrast, World of Warcraft will keep throwing variety at you, and the combat system at the heart of it features fast, visceral, action-packed battles that are fun and intense, whether you are fighting alone or in a group. Furthermore, World of Warcraft finally achieves that long-sought-after goal of many massively multiplayer games, which is to make the player feel rewarded regardless of how much time he or she invests in a single sitting.

However, you do have the choice of playing the World of Warcraft trial version for free. This can be downloaded from the World of Warcraft website, or from numerous other official World of Warcraft websites. If you decide to go with this option to experience the World of Warcraft in all its game playing glory then you also get the chance to create your very character, which can be fun and interesting in and of itself.

Yet the pacing of the combat seems to strike a perfect balance, because it’s not so hectic that those unaccustomed to fast-paced action games will feel overwhelmed. You can also look forward to facing some fairly intelligent foes that will do such things as flee when injured, tag-team with their comrades, and use special abilities against you.

In World of Warcraft you never run out of things to do since much of the game is structured around questing. Whenever you enter a major new location for the first time, you will feel almost overwhelmed by the number of quests available, which you will be able to clearly spot since quest-giving characters helpfully stand there with a big, noticeable exclamation mark over their heads.

Luckily, the game’s more-than-a-thousand quests are made quite manageable by only being offered to you when you are qualified to complete them, and you can have no more than 20 quests pending at a time. Eventually you will have to come back and complete a quest so you can get to the next.
