I was never really sure about online role playing games such as Wyvern or Everquest for some reason I could never really get into them (for one thing I do not have broadband and it makes it hard to get into anything online). But as soon as I saw World of Warcraft my perspective changed dramatically.

The game allows the creation of a character from a variety of races that were seen in the Warcraft series; Night Elves, Humans, Orcs, Taurens and Dwarves and also the type of character whether a warrior or druid and many others. This is pretty standard for an online game and may not really excite most people but what will really bring in the players is the diversity of the game. The whole of the world Azeroth will be available for players to band up with some friends and begin the quests throughout the game.

One of the effects that make this game truly stand out is the graphics. Most RPG's that are out now such as Everquest and other titles, while having very good game play mostly lack in the way of good graphics. This is where WoW comes in. With streamlined animation, high-resolution and a high number of polygons on individual characters it will set the standard for Role-playing games.

Much like Everquest, thousands of players can play at any one time to battle player vs. player or to be out completing quests. The number and the range of quests available for a player is astounding with many more being added to keep the game fresh.
Also featured are many different types of terrain from deserts to forests all depending on where you are in the game.

This game follows the same usual setup of RPG's with quests, individual items that can be found and even what is just been announced on the game are mounts. These include horses, wolves and panthers. These will be available to a player when they reach a certain level. It is still in Beta stage with many people being lucky enough to play it so we will not be expecting it for a while.

With over six capital cities, eight different races, nine different classes of warriors, this massive online multiplayer game is sure to entertain many Warcraft fans and bring many others to the RPG family.
