The Editors Desk:
For the first time, players can experience the lands of WarCraft's Azeroth from a new, in-depth perspective. As heroes, they explore familiar battlefields, discover new lands, and take on epic quests and challenges in Blizzard's massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Blizzard has taken care to make the game accessible and fun both for hard-core 60-hour-a-week players and for more casual adventurers.

 Game Review and System Requirements
This game will go down in History as one of the best MMORPG's of its time. 4 gigabytes of massively online multiplayer terrain, combat, and role-playing scenarios. I would suggest this game to anyone with a knack for fantasy/midieval, role-playing, or shear love of online games. Account fee is $15 monthly. Each account can support 8 characters between different realms. Decide between 4 Allaince races and 4 Horde races. Pick a classes from Rogues, Warriors, Hunters, Warlocks, Shaman, and the list goes on. Test your skills in multiple Professions including Mining, Fishing, Skinning, Engineering, Blacksmithing and more.<br />

Just another pre-release review
First, I'll say that I absoultely HATE pre-release reviews. I wish there was a stronger word than that. But, I feel compelled as an avid Blizzard gamer and clan owner/leader to clear some things up. World of Warcraft is an M.M.O.R.P.G. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game. It will take place in many different worlds with the same worlds replicated on brand new servers.
There are 5, repeat 5, races to play. There are the Tauren (bull like creatures), the Orcs, the Dwarves (and yes, there will be Dwarven muskets available), the Humans, and my favorite The NIGHT ELVES! Both genders will be playable, and equally effective in all aspects of the game. Blizzard says there will be more playable races, but we'll see. All characters will be able to swim and there will be lots of water as well as underwater levels. Characters will not need to eat or drink ever. Blizzard says there will be positive benefits associated with eating and drinking though.
You can form bands of 5 men or guilds of more. Look for my Guild on whatever the U.S. West server is.My alias will be Lord Faramir. Our colors (you get to choose a design for your guild) will be red and something else. There are 3 classes out so far. They are Mage, Shaman, and warrior. Hopefully there will be more. There will be several aspects of the game much like diablo. In WoW there will be 1st and 3rd person perspectives.
Battles will not be a "clickfest". When you attack a creature, your character will keep attacking, but there will be certain things you can change during the battle. There will be vast new expanses of land players have seen before and haven't. Unlike diablo, your heakth will regenerate on its own, and you can't just consume potions like crazy. You get potions, but there will be a "cooldown" time after you've used a potion before you can take the next one. Of course, we all know Blizzard changes things so don't take my word as holy writ. Plus, the beta test won't be out for another year. Just look forward to this. And not to mention, Starcraft 2.
