What is MMORPG?
Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPGs) are games you can play online with other people from all over the world. The examples include web applications like RuneScape and applications which run on your computer and interacts with an online server which other players connect to too.
Why out of all the MMORPGs WoW?
It is the world's number one online game and it has millions of players you can share the experience with.
What is Role-Playing?
Right, you get to select a character. Now when you go in the game, you have tasks to do. But you chose the style you want to approach the tasks. Is it using the nature against evil? Or is it power of light against dark forces? Or the dark forces you want to be? Though there are set tasks in game, you can chose to free style all actions you do in game. Is it a picnic at a beach? Is it the lore, the story you just wanted to tell someone about that small gnome who just called sexy? Oh yes, the hunting continues.
Can everyone play WoW?
Ideally yes. But there are some things we should be aware of. The game is intended for ages 12 and above since interactions with other characters directly and indirectly is possible. Also you need pay monthly an amount to the company (Blizzard Entertainment) so that you can play the game.
Where do you want connect to? EU or US?
This depends on who you want to hang around with. Personally some friends invited me to EU. Also, Moonglade is the realm I play on.
What is a realm?
It is a server you chose to connect to. Unless in battle grounds you only can meet people on the same realm. People who you can hang around with need to connect to the same realm.
Umm... Battle Grounds?
Yes, that is where The Mighty Hordes fight the forces of The Supreme Alliance. In battle grounds like Alterac Valley, you can find players (characters) from other realms.
What are the goals of WoW?
Some people say that they prefer WoW rather than TV. So, to spend some time doing something you like. Talking to a friend? Hanging around with a friend or family member who is far away from you? Yes, a great place to social network.
But what are the goals of WoW?
Oh, ok. There are many goals. Initially, striving. It is a fantastic new world you just arrive at. You need to learn how to survive. Unless you are very lucky, you do not get invited by a friend who guides you in the initial stage. The fun lies in working on your own to survive. Not giving up. There are many strategies to a simple task like delivering a package for an ingame non-player character (NPC). This process of doing things for NPCs is called questing. If you quest you get some coins which you will need to buy food or drinks for your character and also you need ingame currency to train and buy other things. Most important of all, you want to be stronger, you get stronger when your level up your character. You need experience points (XP) to level up. Currently players are able to attain level 80. Every new player starts the first character at level 1.
Is there a trial verion available?
You can download the full game online. But yes, you can sign up for a trial account. To play the game you need to connect to the online server and to connect you need an account. Currently Blizzard gives 10days free trial. I have seen many players on trial accounts too. Personally, I started myself with a trial account to see if it really is my game. And yes, I found out that it is my game. I have been playing for more than a year now. Here is one of my characters on the WoW-armory, my druid Xia. I suggest you pay a visit to WoW Europe website here and learn more about it.
The fun continues... Btw, is there anyone who plays WoW on european realms? A message will be most appreciated. I never found any Maldivians on WoW so far.
