World of Warcraft
Massive Azeroth adventure
World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) launched by Blizzard Entertainment in 2004.
Players create characters in a fantasy world, completing quests, fighting monsters, and raiding dungeons with others.
The game dominated online gaming for over a decade, and WoW became shorthand for the genre itself.
Its cultural footprint extends beyond gaming: He disappeared into World of Warcraft for a semester.
