World Of Warcraft overview

World of Warcraft... As a massively multiplayer online game, World of Warcraft enables thousands of players to come together online and battle against the world and each other. Players from across the globe can leave the real world behind and undertake grand quests and heroic exploits in a land of fantastic adventure. At long last, the world of Azeroth, first glimpsed in Warcraft I and further enhanced in subsequent strategy games, is realized in glorious detail and ready for the arrival of millions of prospective players. So step upon the hallowed shores of this embattled world, and see what journeys await for those who would plumb this ancient realm's many secrets.

What’s new in version 8.1

Version 8.1:

Full list of changes is available here

War Campaign:
  • New Questlines
    • New chapters in the War Campaign are now available. Head to Boralus or Zuldazar to rejoin your faction’s war efforts
  • New Missions
    • Several new Missions are now available at both your War Table, as well as from new drops from various activities, such as Island Expeditions. Look for new Missions to upgrade your faction’s outposts, level up followers so that they gain access to a new equipment slot, send your followers on lucrative new weekly treasure hunts, and unlock a vendor who offers the opposing faction’s pets
  • Faction Assaults
    • Periodically, the Alliance or the Horde will launch an assault against a hostile position in Kul Tiras or Zandalar. When an Assault is active, a group of new World Quests will be available to both factions in that area. Rally to the location to fight on behalf of your faction and earn new Honorbound or 7th Legion Service Medals that can be exchanged for a variety of rewards
    • Players who have unlocked World Quests at level 120 on at least one character will have Assault World Quests available to any of their other characters
Warfront: The Battle for Darkshore

The conflict over the home of the night elves has reached a fever pitch, and new questlines will lead you to the all-new Battle for Darkshore. In this new Warfront, you’ll unlock access to powerful hero transformations that give you temporary abilities themed around your role as a tank, healer, or damage dealer

  • Contributions for Darkshore as well as the Stromgarde Warfront now operate on a daily cycle. When resources are being mustered, three quartermasters will each put out a request for a different contribution each day. The requested turn-ins have also been adjusted to be more consistent in their value
  • When your faction controls either Arathi Highlands or Darkshore, world quests will now be available in those zones, in place of the once-per-cycle kill quests that were previously offered for Arathi

With the starter edition you can seemingly play as much as you want with multiple characters, the limitations being you cannot advance beyond level 20, you cannot accumulate more than 10 gold, and you cannot use the in-game mail. However the patch that was installed yesterday said that support for 10.6 would be ending soon. Blizzard says they only support the current OS (ML) and the previous OS (Lion). Strangely though WoW still runs on XP which is much older and farther removed than SL.

"REQs: PPC/Intel; OSX.3.9" is not true anymore. Many moons ago the REQs for the MacDemo of WoW changed to "Intel-only; SnowLeo" or so. Please update this info, dear MU admin. –.–

Not that you have any choice in patching, but be aware that it's all but unplayable on the Mac right now. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/6412493648?page=1

What can I say. I sank more time into WoW then in my University degree. Have been playing since 2005 and *still* love the game. NowadaysI don't play as often, but still hang out with my friends a couple of hours every other weekend. The grandeur of the world (its sheer size), the many things you can do, the lore, the graphics, the music (!!!), the atmosphere... everything in WoW fits. Be warned, though. WoW is probably the best implementation of the 'Skinner Box' around, and it hooks you immediately. If you let your children play, make sure you monitor their playtime. Or the'll end up like me :) Of the many great Blizzard games, this one still reigns supreme.
