What is World of Warcraft?
World of Warcraft is
the biggest multiplayer online game in the world. It has over 7 million
players and thousands players on same server. When you enter World of Warcraft
you can leave the real world and start your epic adventure. World of Warcraft
is a game with massive land area and beautiful panoramas and special
effectss. In World
of Warcraft you
can find new friends and leave the real
worlds stress. You can get World of Warcraft two ways. You can download
it from internet our you can go buy it from a game store.

What do you need that you can play World of Warcraft?
Because the game is the biggest multiplayer online game, it needs expensive servers and good workers that keep the world up and updates and adds new places and things almost every weak. And because this all cost money the game costs to. You need few things that you can play. First of all you need to buy the game World of Warcraft what now cost 19.90€. Then comes the tricky part adn the part why many people doesn't start to play World of Warcraft. If you want to play World of Warcraft you need to have playtime. When you buy the self game you get one month playtime, what is called game-tide or G-time. When this one month is over you need to buy more G-time. You can buy the G-time two ways. You can go to a game store and ask for a game-card. The game cards includes two or six mount G-time, and they cost from 19.90 € to 65.94€. If you buy time from internet you can buy one, three or six month G-time. If you are sure, that you will play World of Warcraft for a long time you can buy a six month game-card, because this comes cheaper than three two months game-cards. But if you aren't sure will you play so long you can buy the two mont game-card. The second way to get G-time is to buy it from the internet. Some people may think that is is dangerous to give credit card number to internet sites (and it can sometimes be) but a game with 7 million players wont steal your money. The paying system is well organised and it works fine without risk. From internet you can buy one, three or six month G-time. The buying from internet can be a bit cheaper depending on the bank what you use than buying a game-card from shop.
Starting to play World of Warcraft
When you start playing World of Warcraft you first of all need to choice what realm you will play. This is important, because if you want to transfer your character to another realm you need almost every time pay 19.99€ -14.99€ depending on the realm. After this you need to choice one of the eight races and choice a class to your character from nine different classes, but the primary choice comes when you need to choice will you join the lines of Alliance or the Hordes. Your choice here determines much of what you can and cannot accomplish in the world, because when you are a Alliance you cannot enter a Horde city without to get agro from the city guards, who will kill you fast, if you aren't enaugh high lv. You can only chat and group up with players in your own faction, so make sure, that if you have friends in Horde side and you want to talk and raid with him/her you need to be on the same side. The Horde side includes the races: orc, tauren, troll and undead, and the Alliance side includes dwarves, gnomes, humans and night elves. Horde side can be al other classes except paladin and the Alliance cannot have shaman. All classes are equally well-represented to their own job in the epic adventure and raids. To learn your job you need to play and study the tricks and become then a good player.
How to move in the world?
The world of World of Warcraft is very big with many different places. To move in the world you have few different things you can do. First of all, when you start to play the game you can only run and walk. You can run whole time, but if u want you can to walk, what is much slower that running. The second thing what you can do is fly with " taxi-service". The "taxi-service" vehicles are one kind of birds. If you want to fly with this bird you need to have two flight places found and you can only fly from one place to another. Here is the map of flight places and ways, what the birds will fly. Horde can't ride Alliances birds and the another way round. The third thing how you can move is a ship or a airship. Few airship landing places are on the horde territory so if you are a alliance and want to fly with an airship you need to be fast, because the Horde guards will try to kill you. Some ships goes to alliance cityes but there is to few ships that goes to areas, where both Alliance and Horde can be. The fourth and maybe the funniest way is to buy a mount. You can buy a mount when onlyare lv 40 and when you are lv60 you can buy a very fast mount. The mount costs a bit, but more costs the raiding skill. the normal raiding skill, what you can buy when you are lv40 is cheaper than the master raiding skill what you can buy when you are lv60. Different races can buy different mounts.

the map of flight places and the ways what the birds fly
What is
Player-versus-Player Combat?
Player-versus-player
game play is a big part of World of Warcraft. There are two different
realm types. On the normal Realms types is PvE. It is entirely consensual. You
cannot be attacked by other players unless you want to be, if you want, you
just need to click a button. The other Realm type is player-versus-player, and
on this server, you can sometimes be attacked by players of the opposing
faction without warning, if you are in a "red faction" the faction
type you can see from the text over the “mini-map” or when entering the zone.
On normal Realms, you can
enter into player-versus-player combat by storming enemy capitals, but there is
also special PvP zones called battlegrounds.
On PvP servers, there are
many zones that are flagged as contested territory. In these zones, players
from opposing factions can attack each other freely. These zones are write with
yellow name.
The rewards for PvP play
are excellent. When you kill enemy guards and enemy players in battleground,
you will accumulate honour points. With these points you can buy good armors
from vendor. The PvP epic is very good, but it costs a lot oh honour and battleground
marks. If you win a battleground you will revise three marks. Each battleground
got its own marks. Every time you kill or help to kill an enemy faction player
you will get honour. How much honour you get depends on how much damage you do
to the enemy. When you complete "missions" in battleground you will revise
bonus honour, when the battle is over
There is three different
battlegrounds and three different arenas:
WSG is the smallest
battleground. The idea in WSG is simple. There are two bases, a Horde base and
a
Alliance base WSG Middle Field Horde base
WSG map
The idea of
AB is this: The battleground zone includes five different bases. The idea is to
get so many bases as possible and then kill hordes to get "supplies".
IF you have less than 50% of the bases and enemy kills you more than your faction
kills the enemy, the enemy will gain faster the "supplies" and they
will win. The battle ends, when another of the factions gets 2000 supplies. If
you get all the bases same time and keep good defence, so u wont lose it, you
get much faster the "supplies" than if you had 4 bases. It’s important
to remember, that if bases are not defended, you will almost sure lose them. In
harder battlegrounds is good to have plans.
This is the Black Smith in AB A alliance controlled Ab flag AB map
This is the
most complex battleground. In this battleground you can find bosses, mobs,
enemy faction players, towns, towers many different graveyards, quest and
special items. The simply idea is to kill enemy factions head boss. Alliances
head boss is in Dun Baldar and Horde head boss is in Frostwolf Keep. But
if you want to get more bonus honour you need to destroy towers, kill other
bosses, kill enemy faction elites and capture graveyards. In Alterac valley is
it very important to know a bit the tactics. There are many different tactics

What is your mission
in World of Warcraft?
Your main mission in World of Warcraft is to have fun :) but
there are many other missions to. When you start playing World of
Warcraft you are level 1. When you kill mobs (bots in the game) you
get xp. When you get xp you will get levels. You can also complete quests to
get xp. Each time you get a level (some player’s in-game says "DING")
you will need more and more xp each time you get a level. The maximum level is
60. When you get levels you can buy different spells and skills in game and go
to different instances. After you have reached level 60 you can start to
get different epic armors. Epic armors are hard to get, but the are very good. To
get epic you need to go to raids or then you can get PvP epic.

| Legenrady | Orange | These items are very rare and only few players got them. They may have +stats or +spell, healing,crit dodge or parry change, but more than on epiq |
| Artifact | Red? | Tese items are only available to Game Masers, who looks after, that game works. You need to work at Blizzard to get those items. |
What are instances and their difficult level?
Instances are
places where you need to find a group before you go in. To find a group you can
use looking for group tool. When you got enough players to the instance you can
enter the portal, what leads you then to the instance. In instance you find
elite mobs. Elites are much harder to kill than original mobs and they do more
damage. To kill them you may need help. So when you are in group every
group member there usually got special job to do. Warrior is usually the tank,
because it got much armour. Priests or druid usually heal, because they have
the best heals. The idea of the instance is to kill Bosses who may drop good
items. Some instances might look easy when there is only 1 BOSS, but it can be
much harder than instances with ten bosses. To get to the hardest Instances you
might need a guild. When you get level60 it makes possible you to solo
instance (that you can complete them alone) there are different level
instances and they are named by names:
