In the end… (WoW)
April 24th, 2007 by Shenron
Being one of the most popular games around the world (with almost 8.5 million players), World of Warcraft is definitely financially stable. But it has provoked many of the critics and has been a part of many controversies.
Many people have criticized the game’s addictive nature as it is seen that people generally forget to do important things due to their addiction of the game. In June 2005 it was reported that a child had died due to the neglect by her parents which were addicted to World of Warcraft.
Still the fact remains that game is a mountain of success and the people are satisfied. Now it is their duty to make sure they should take games lightly and just a measure for entertainment.

WoW Instances
April 24th, 2007 by Shenron
Areas which are duplicates to other areas are called instances ( also called dungeons or instance dungeons ). Here, a area exists more than one place and simultaneous i.e. more than one group can possible do same activities in a location which is also done by the other group in the very same location, yet both the groups don’t interfere with each other.
They may also refer to a exact copy of an area. Areas such as battlegrounds can also be called as instances as they too allow multiple packs of players to play at the same time without disturbing one another. A instance is generally observed with a large swirling portal as its entrance. There are other kinds of instance entrances too.

A character during the course of the gameplay can acquire various items. These items can range from resources like herbs or raw ores to items which help the character for quests. Items are classified by the the colour their name is displayed in.
- Grey refers to a poor item
- White refers to a common item
- Green refers to an uncommon item
- Blue refers to a rare item
- Purple refers to an epic item
- Red refers to an Artifact
Characters also are allowed to equip ( or wear ) different armors and weapons, to improve their in game performance like attacking skills and defense or to customize their look and behavior. High leveled players can acquire items known as mounts which are of different appearances and speed and depend on the class and race the character is of.
Example: Horses or mechanostriders, that increase a player’s movement rate when ridden on. The Burning Crusade expansion paved way for new type of mounts called Flying Mounts.
