Why World of Warcraft Stands Out as a Decade-Long Success

By John Ryan2016-07-21

As a classic MMORPG that is developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment Company, World of Warcraft is a kind of memory of MMO funs. Players around the world gather together in the virtual realm, assuming heroic fantasy roles and exploring the endless challenges. When I was in college, many of my classmates were playing this game, including both boys and girls. According to I know, world of warcraft had over 12 million monthly subscribers as of 2010, which still holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest and most popular MMORPG since 2009. Even though there are less subscribers, WoW still does not overshadow its decade-long success with the total 6 expansion packs during these years. This article summarizes Why World of Warcraft Stands Out as a Decade-long Success.

 

1. Good reputation of Blizzard

All MMO funs know about Blizzard Entertainment, which is a famous game company with good reputation. Just consider how crazy players went when Blizz released FPS game Overwatch. Blizzard put pride and effort into world of warcraft for 5 years with a team of 65 people working on it before it was officially released. Blizzard company has tremendous quality control to guarantee this masterpiece. Players will find the top quality in world of warcraft.

 

2. WoW is set in Warcraft Universe

WoW uses and expands the storyline from the Warcraft series of games, which already has audience base. Those players who are addicted to Warcraft series, are also predisposed to buy World of Warcraft and to like it. WoW takes on the tremendous storyline well in the world of Azeroth, which is appealing to players.

 

3. A fantasy virtual game world of Azeroth

World of Warcraft stories happen in the game world Azeroth, which exists as its own convincing, distinctive universe. Azeroth has great look and is full of adventures. Players can be indulging in the fantasy visual world while they are doing the quests.

 

4. High degree of freedom

Players can play an assortment of different characters in world of warcraft. There are two conflicting factions in WoW: Alliance and Horde. Players can play either of them – to be a hero or a monster. No matter quests, dungeons, raids, PvP, PvE or Battlegroud, are filled with interesting. Players can get better items/artifacts through dungeons. Dungeons are more dangerous places where players will meet tougher bosses that are hard to kill, but if players achieve their goal, they will be rewarded with items that have better stats. Dungeons always need no more than 5 players and take about half an hour to complete it.

Compared with dungeons, raids are more difficult, so players can get better items than those gotten through dungeons. There are always 10-man, 25-man raids to explore in world of warcraft. Due to the higher level of difficulty, raids always take a longer time to finish. But the most powerful items are from raids.

Playing with friends is such a thrilling thing, so take up your weapon and fight with your friends to kill the monsters in open world, dungeons or raids.

5. Innovation and continuous updates

With the continuous updates of the game, players will have different experience. Players will never feel the game changeless. For example, the garrison system is an innovative blend of a housing system and an RTS-style campaign system. The systems and features in wow are fully thought out, fully developed, and high in quality. There are totally six expansion packs for World of Warcraft:

  • World of Warcraft: The Buring Crusade

  • World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

  • World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

  • World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

  • World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor

  • World of Warcraft: Legion Returns (officially released on August 30)

With the 6th expansion: Legion Returns is upcoming, more and more veterans come back. But world of warcraft is never for veterans, casuals can play this game well and enjoy the fun of it.
