I remember years ago when I felt like playing a game I had to ask my closest friends. We then sat down either at the kitchen table or sometimes in the living room. These days it is different. Do not get me wrong I still like to play a good game of Monopoly once in a while but who wants to play with me if I have the urge of playing at 2:00 am?. This problem is gone, now I just have to fire up my trusty computer and go online with a gaming universe. It can be night or day, any days of the week, there is always people ready for gaming. No more waiting to get my friends to play with me. I guess you have heard about World of Warcraft online? If not well, you might have been living under a rock or you are simply not interested in online games. Let me tell you about this great game.

Azeroth is a world in which lengthy and turbulent past is forged in the fires of continuous conflict. It has been four years since great chaos reigned over this scarred world and King Arthas of Lord Aeron was getting mad by haunting visions of the Frozen Thrown of Icecrown. As it was inevitable, past now repeats itself as armies of the Horde and ...
... the Alliance prove their mettle on battlegrounds and clash weapons and magic in huge, organized territorial raids. Be careful your time has come.

Choose a side, polish your abilities, and imprint your mark on Azeroth history. World of Warcraft is the first MMOG in the four part Warcraft series, with previous Warcraft titles being RTS games. Like most MMOs, players may find adventure in fighting various monsters and in completing missions offered by many NPCs throughout Azeroth.

In World of Warcraft, success in these endeavors yield rewards in the form of currency, loot and experience. Gamers may also take part in PvP battles in the forms of dueling and fights with players of different factions. In the early to middle stages of exploration around Azeroth, most monsters and quests can be handled solo. Past that point, however, more and more gameplay will necessitate a good team of players, normally two to five in number. Large-scale raids can require up to 40 players to succeed. When reaching the level 40, players can buy a mount based on their character's reputation and race, which can appear on demand. These are expensive to purchase and train, but add to the player's status and really increase their speed of travel.

Regretably, players may not engage in battle while on a mount. The level cap in World of Warcraft is now 70 with the new game expansion, with rewards for victorious raids at this level being in the form of excellent loot. Since the first day back in November 2004, I have played World of Warcraft, and I can say that this great online game is exciting to play!

Just a little warning about online gaming. It is sure a lot of fun but do not lose too much sleep over it or your best friends for that matter. There will be new games coming out for years to come. What is new today will be old tomorrow. But a good friend is worth a lot more to me and last a lot longer.
