We’ve been posting guides/articles about World of Warcraft since forever, but what we’ve just come to realize is that a large number of our readers don’t know much about the game. I’m writing this article to tell all of you what World of Warcraft is about, and how you can get started with the game.
Why write a guide about such an old game, you ask? Well for starters, unlike other genres, massive multiplayer online games mature and only grow better over time. Such is the case with WoW, where new content’s added ever so often to make the game better, richer, and more accessible with each patch. As it stands, WoW has a lot to offer any new gamer and is easy enough for anyone to pick it up and play.
To get started, you’ll need your own copy of World of Warcraft. Retail copies of the game aren’t available for purchase in India; but fortunately the game’s available for digital download on the official website, along with a free 10 day trial. Create an account there, after which you’ll get the option to download an installer for the game. This installer will download the game in the background while you play. Taking into consideration the crappy ISPs around, this isn’t a viable option for most of us. You can play the game on even a 128KBPS connection, but to play it with the background download on, you'll require at least a 2MBPS line.
is it necessary to buy it?
