When the developers of Blizzard’s World of Warcraft set out to make a massively multiplayer game, it almost seems as if they looked around, listened to what fans of the genre said they liked about these games, then incorporated as many of the elements as they could into WoW.

While still only in early beta testing, the results have proved spectacular. World of Warcraft is immersive, evolving, involving, visually delightful and a blast to play.
