World of Warcraft 2004

About this game

Blizzard Entertainment's 2004 massively multiplayer online role playing game for Windows and macOS, set on Azeroth about four years after Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. You choose the Alliance or the Horde, from races such as humans, dwarves, gnomes and night elves, or orcs, trolls, tauren and the Forsaken, and most classes are limited to particular races. Characters level up with experience, quests from NPCs give experience, items, gold and story, and dungeons are instanced for groups of up to five while raids take up to 40. Each character has two primary professions and three secondary ones, and there are battlegrounds, open world PvP and guilds. It is played on a paid subscription, and a recreation of the original game launched in 2019. Eleven expansions have followed, from The Burning Crusade in 2007 to Midnight in 2026, which is why it is still worth playing today.
