The Phenomenon of the World of Warcraft
If you are into Multiplayer Online Fantasy Role Playing games, then possibly the World of Warcraft is the right game for you. It is one of its kind, as World of Warcraft has more than 9 million people hooked up and playing in this fantasy universe. Although it is an easy game to play; the World of Warcraft requires time, patience and expertise for you to be successful. Of course, the expertise is acquired as you play the game. There are people who play the game more than 40 hours a week, just as if you were going to work 9 to 5. Although in general it is a teen’s game, there are many adult people who are also interested in this fantasy role playing game. In fact there are people playing from every continent in the world. You will be surprised to learn that you can find people from different ethnic backgrounds, grinding and questing away in this popular online game.
In order to start the game, first you have to sign up for the game in the games website. The company which has created the World of Warcraft game allows you to play for 1 month free. This way you can get the feel of the game and see if it is for you. However, the majority of the people who try this game get hooked up on the first week of playing this game. Almost everyone who gives the game a fair try gets hooked up and even obsessed right away. However, if you do decide to keep playing the game then you will have to pay a monthly fee to Blizzard Entertainment. (You can see The World of Warcraft is also a big industry with 9 million people paying monthly fees to play). The usual payment for a monthly account is around $14. However if you pay 6 months or 12 months in advance, you get a certain discount. However many people don’t worry about this and they pay what they need to pay.
In the game you have to select a character for yourself. This is essential as you will base all your work on this character. You will also need to choose a profession as you will have to train your guy. As you buy more equipment and more tools (including weapons) you will become more stronger and you will be able to defeat your enemies. Of course, you also need gold in this fantasy universe to buy the things that you need. You can make gold by making items or gathering metal (if you are a miner) and then selling it on the Auction houses in the game. |
