World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game from Blizzard Entertainment, set in the fantasy world of Azeroth. Players create characters, explore zones, complete quests and run dungeons alongside other people online. The game continues to grow through large expansions, and the current chapter listed on the official site is World of Warcraft: Midnight.

Access works on a subscription basis, and a single subscription covers both the modern game and WoW Classic, an edition that recreates the original experience from years ago. The site also describes special subscription offers for longer terms, expansion pre-purchases, hotfix notes and content updates. It is a proprietary online game that runs on servers operated by Blizzard, so there is no self-hosted version.
