Four years have passed since the aftermath of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, and a great tension now smolders throughout the ravaged world of Azeroth. As the battle-worn races begin to rebuild their shattered kingdoms, new threats, both ancient and ominous, arise to plague the world once again.
World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. Being "Massively Multiplayer," World of Warcraft allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.

Adedicated live team will create a constant stream of new adventures to undertake, lands to explore, and monsters to vanquish. This content ensures that the game will never be the same from month to month, and will continue to offer new challenges and adventures for years to come.

World of Warcraft has many features that separate it from current MMORPGs.

• A dynamic world with an evolving story, changing events, and more!
  
• Adventure together with thousands of other players simultaneously.
  
• Completely customizable controls allow you to decide how to control your character. Don't like the controls? Change them!
  
• A persistent world that is designed from the ground up to be virtually seamless. Specific areas will require you to "zone", but the load time will be minimal.
  
• World of Warcraft features the best in cutting-edge graphics. Unlike games that do a bad job at looking real, World of Warcraft boasts the cartoon magical feel of true Warcraft!
  
• Full guild support allows players to organize easily, create a unique guild emblem, own a guildhall, and more.
  
• World of Warcraft will be the first to feature "instances" of a dungeon. These private dungeon areas allow you and a group of friends to have a more personal experience, exploring, adventuring, or completing quests in your own private dungeon. You also have the ability to invite others into your instance zone to join you.
  
• Choose your destiny. Be a noble paladin, a cowardly thief, a mighty summoner, and more! The possibilities are endless.
  
• World of Warcraft will feature one of the most massive MMORPG worlds to date. Players will be able to explore the lands of Azeroth, Khaz Modan, Lordaeron, Kalimdor, as well as uncharted and exotic new lands.
