The 700lb gorilla of upcoming MMOGs, World of Warcraft, has been previewed at Gamespot. Here's a snippet:Hopefully sometime soon, developer Blizzard Entertainment will launch World of Warcraft, its massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in the fantasy-themed world in which the developer's strategy games take place. Like other massively multiplayer games, World of Warcraft will let you play as a single character from a specific race (like a human or a fantasy archetype, such as an elf, a dwarf, or an orc), and then it will let you venture in to an online world to fight monsters, perform quests, and acquire treasure and experience levels with other like-minded players. This highly anticipated game is currently going through an internal test, though Blizzard recently solicited public beta testers to test the game at an undisclosed time to be determined later this year. We recently had a chance to catch a glimpse of the game in its current pre-beta state. |
