The game’s story is based on Blizzard’s original Warcraft PC game series. In World of Warcraft, players choose from two warring factions, then choose a race and class for their character. Each faction has four possible race choices, and the factions share 10 possible class choices. Each class has a choice of three specs, or playstyles to enjoy, and players can switch between two of those specs freely. Customization is key in World of Warcraft.

Combat in the game is a simple hot key-based system, and level progression is quest-based. Endgame progression is focused on gear, and there are many ways to obtain new gear. Players can PvP, participate in large group raids, small group instances or participate in PvP arena tournaments. World of Warcraft has something for everyone.
