The Wow Factor on the World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft was the most played online game. It’s suffering from recession for now so it’s currently sitting in the number 2 spot. Playing this is like having a romantic relationship. First of all, there’s the seduction. It offers free registration so the new players can experience the epic world of magic, mystery, and limitless adventure beyond the real world that we’re used to. The user-friendly interface, the fancy characters, the unique spells and abilities, the arenas, and friends you meet along the way hooks you up right away –like going steady in a relationship. Then you get bored, you become a swinger and move to another MMO. Then you miss all the fun on WoW, you beg to go back and it forgave your betrayal and accepted you with open arms. Finally, you complete the game, you once again lose interest, getting sick and tired of everything and about to quit what you’ve worked hard for. But all of a sudden, an expansion is released and before you know it, you’re happily playing the game again, holding hands while walking giddily. Wow, what a feeling in WoW, better than the real world.
As your lover might ask, “There are lots of options out there, why me among the others?

Optimized Codes

The coding of WoW is optimized so it can be played on older machines. It can play as fast as 60 frames per second in an old laptop. Other MMOs are too heavy. It takes ages to log in and can’t even select a character because it’s all frozen up or just crashes. Loading time on WoW is just 5 seconds or less than that on an ultrafast computer. 200 people can play in one arena without a hitch. It’s very smooth despite the human traffic. Imagine the famous Shinjuku in Japan where people cross the street smoothly.

Massive Realm

As this role-playing game promotes, it’s indeed correct for it to have limitless adventure. It’s truly another world created by the game gods. If you are a traveler and constantly seeks adventure, no need to bring out a big backpack, the adventure is right at your fingertips –literally. Other MMOs would require teleportation or portals from point A to B. But unlike them, this entire enormous continent is connected. A lot of places to go to: from forests to mountains to deserts to underwater –it’s not just made for the heck of it, it’s actually beautiful.

Skill Above Time

According to surveys, the active players of WoW decreased. It’s not that people became weary of playing, it’s just WoW doesn’t encourage the players to spend time playing for days on end. It’s about the skill. Well, players that are in the battle grounds for one whole day gets new gears before the others who spends less time. On the other hand, he can’t get the best gears –the person who is more skillful will get them. It’s about playing well not playing like the Chinese guy for 7 straight days. Nobody wants to end up twitching in front of the computer and slipping down on the monitor.

Human Connection

Playing with people on a server frequently would make you feel that you know them, get attached, build friendship and community. Who says there’s no human connection on cyberspace? WoW has Blizz Con almost every year where you meet real people in the real world. You can give them a real handshake and a real hug. Friends, Community and Guilds are all real.

Arenas

Arenas are the best thing in MMO world. My heart is jumping out just talking about it. Pounding the keyboard and the mouse and as the same time the heart pounds. This is music to the gamers. I’ll stop right here, I’m gonna get a heart attack.

Bottom Line

If you haven’t played the game yet, you’re missing out on lots of things. Sign up for free and let a romantic or platonic relationship flourish.
