World of Warcraft
Thursday, March 20th, 2008
World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated to WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the fourth game in the Warcraft series, excluding expansion packs and the cancelled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans. The Warcraft games are set in the Warcraft Universe, a fantasy setting introduced by Warcraft: Orcs & Humans in 1994. World of Warcraft itself takes place within the world of Azeroth, four years after the events at the conclusion of Blizzard’s previous release, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. World of Warcraft’s release celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise. Although its initial release was hampered by server stability and performance issues, problems which still intermittently recur, the game is widely regarded as a success. World of Warcraft has almost seven million active subscriptions worldwide as of September 2006.
