World of Warcraft was my very first MMORPG. I still remember starting for the very first time as a Night Elf Hunter two years ago and gasping at the purple, gloomy forest surrounding me. If a game can make a person gasp, then that is what a game is supposed to be like. WoW has two rival factions with 4 races each (5 with the expansion which..is basically required). Along with that are 8 classes to choose from and endless physical detail of your own characters. This makes this enormous actually feel quite personal as you create your own mini-self. After the creation and a wee bit of grinding, questing, and owning; there comes raiding and player-versus-player. Right here is where the game is absolutely amazing. The competitive nature of both of these things drive players to be the best and just get that next piece of equipment! Numerous dungeons offer challenges and equipment for any player, along with a few friends. Or of course, you could skip PvE and just beat up upon the opposite faction (or your own in arena). While some people think that grinding to the highest level in MMORPG's can be long and boring, I personally enjoyed it every single time I did it. There are new people to quest with during every trip and the experience is different each time as you experiment with each class. Whether you have never played this style of game before or you are a veteran, World of Warcraft is an excellent buy and an awesome experience.
