The World of Warcraft is, arguably, the most popular gaming online venue to have been invented.
This game is so popular Ozzy Osbourne is doing commercials for it and it is officially sponsoring television shows.
Because we understand just how popular this online gaming venue is, we thought we would let World of Warcraft be one of our first topics! Here is a brief rundown on World of Warcraft: the gaming online venue of choice.
(Incidentally, that was our description, not the description provided by the inventors of the game) World of Warcraft is often referred to simply as WoW.
The players take place in gaming online via a large number of servers.
The game was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released in 2004.
This game takes up on the world introduced in the previous Warcraft games relieved by Blizzard.
The developers of this gaming online venue have released two expansion packs.
The first, The Burning Crusade, was released in the beginning of 2007 and the second expansion was released at the beginning of November 2008.
The game has gotten so large that many stores carrying the expansion pack decided to give it a midnight release party-something most recently seen with the Harry Potter phenomenon.
There are more than eleven million subscribers gaming online with World of Warcraft via a monthly subscription and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's most popular MMORPG.
As of 2008 more than sixty percent of the gaming online population had a World of Warcraft account and played the game regularly! Players are given a free trial and then required to purchase more playing time by either purchasing a monthly subscription or purchasing playing cards that are loaded with a finite amount of time.
Most players choose to buy a monthly subscription as that can be billed through a debit or credit card.
The fact that there are eleven million monthly subscribers to this gaming online venue means that the creators at Blizzard must be doing something right, though the players of the game insist that it is the interaction with their fellow players that keep them dedicated to the advancement of their game characters.
Players bond together to form guilds and they schedule activities with other guilds and work together to "down bosses" go on "raids" and work to gain experience and loot.
The tricky part of this game is that it takes place via server time.
Certain events only happen at certain times and if players want to take part in those events, they need to be sitting in front of their computers at that particular time.
This is another way that the online gaming gods at Blizzard keep so many players addicted to the game.
It is not static-it has truly become an alternate reality for many people all over the world! World of Warcraft is incredibly popular, something that surprises many people who are not familiar with online gaming, but which is completely unsurprising to regular MMPORG gamers.
