World of Warcraft
World of Warcraft is unique because it is an online multiplayer role-playing game. There isn’t really a central, main quest for players to undertake. Players simply enjoy getting into battles with other players and running various dungeons with friends. Since you can’t truly “win” World of Warcraft, many people end up making friendships and associations that last through years and years of play.
While playing, gamers can assemble teams or play alone – both play styles are extremely common. Others engage in full-on role play, acting out the lives of the many toons they create. Gamers can also mine coins that can be used to make purchases of everything from crafting materials to beautiful costumes. The game has been controversial for some, as World of Warcraft addiction is a recognized phenomena in several areas of the world. The illegal selling of gold within the game has also been a longstanding issue, with rumors of Chinese jails using prisoners to mine gold. This game is so popular that it’s even being made into a feature film.
