Packed with adventure, mystery, and a profound sense of accomplishment, this beginner-friendly guide is your key to the remarkable World of Warcraft.
WAS IST WORLD OF WARCRAFT?
World of Warcraft, spawned by the renowned game developer Blizzard Entertainment, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Initially launched in 2004, WoW is set within the fantastical universe called Azeroth, a world familiar to players of Blizzard’s earlier prodigy, the Warcraft series of strategy games. WoW stands out from other games with intricate storylines and expansive lore that has evolved over the years encompassing multiple expansions and patches.
The heart of WoW lies in character creation where you choose a race (like the sturdy Dwarves or the agile Night Elves), a class (e.g., Warrior, Mage, Druid, etc.), and a profession, each coming with its unique abilities and play styles. With these choices, the world of Azeroth opens before you filled with tasks, quests, dungeons, and most importantly, other players to share the adventure.
WIE ES FUNKTIONIERT / WIE MAN ANFÄNGT
Starting your journey in WoW is a simple process. Firstly, you would need to purchase the game, which is available digitally on the official WoW website. Following this, you’ll need to create an account and subscribe to the game. The initial purchase usually comes with a free month of game time, after which a monthly subscription is required to continue.
Once your account is ready, boots on the ground is where the real fun begins! You’ll create your character, choosing from various in-game races and classes, each with unique attributes and skills. You’ll be spawned into your race’s starting point, where your beginner quests will begin. These starter quests are specifically designed to familiarize you with the controls, the game mechanics, and the overall goal of the game. To progress through the game, you’ll have to level up your character by slaying monsters, completing quests, and conducting activities like crafting and exploring, to name a few.
WAS SIE ZUM SPIELEN BRAUCHEN
To begin your journey in WoW, you only need a couple of things: a capable computer (check the game’s system requirements on the official website to ensure compatibility), a stable internet connection, and, of course, the World of Warcraft game itself which you can download from the official site.
