If you're into playing video games and the like then one such game you should look into is the game World of Warcraft. This Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, or MMORPG for short, has to put it quite simply taken the world of gaming by storm.

To date the game World of Warcraft boasts over a whopping 8 million people playing it, with a staggering number of people playing it at any given time. It's a large number whichever way that you look at it, and overwhelming to realize how many people are populating the world of Azeroth where the game of Warcraft takes place.

The reason for this is that the game World of Warcraft is quite simply one of the best MMORPG games around. Added to this fact are the enticements which come along with it such as the ability to create a maximum of 50 characters per account, with 10 characters allowable on a server.

Not only that, a player also has the chance of creating a character which suits their tastes, with a better than average number of character options open and available for players to choose from.

At the very beginning of the game World of Warcraft, players have the choice of choosing a character based on one of the two major factions which reside in Warcraft. This means that a player can choose from either the Alliance side, or the Horde side.

Once they decide upon this, a player then has the ability to choose from a total of 4 different races which are available each to a faction. This number goes up to 5 races per faction if you have the new Burning Crusade expansion pack.

And once a racial character is chosen, players of the game World of Warcraft, next get to choose from one of nine different class types. This is basically the identity of the person, i.e. whether you are an Orc of Warrior class, or whether you are an Orc of Hunter, Shaman, Rogue or Warlock class.

Of the nine different classes which are available in the game World of Warcraft, not all of them can be chosen by all of the races, for instance a Human cannot be of the class Druid, and neither can an Orc.

Once you finally get past that stage of the game World of Warcraft, you're then confronted with which profession to choose from. This is what will keep you in money, potions, armor and skills.

With a total nine main professions to choose from (you get a tenth one if you have the expansion pack), you will find that you can be just about anyone you want to be on the game World of Warcraft.

You can create a character and take him or her through their paces. On the game World of Warcraft, you have the ability to live a life you would never otherwise have even dreamed about, and which can bring you hours and hours of great entertainment.
