Overview
Description

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role‑playing game set in the rich fantasy world of Azeroth. Players create characters, embark on quests, and join epic battles across a vast open world. The game offers deep character progression, diverse classes, and a persistent online universe where guilds, raids, and player‑vs‑player combat create endless social and competitive experiences.

Wrath of the Lich King expands the iconic MMO with the frozen continent of Northrend, introducing the Death Knight class and a chilling new storyline. Players explore massive zones, tackle challenging dungeons, and join epic raids while forging alliances in a living, persistent world.
