Blizzards World of Warcraft More Than Just a Game its a Life Style

The way you play Blizzard World of Warcraft or WoW, is you create a character either on the Alliance or Horde faction, which are enemies. In blizzard world of warcraft you choose your race and class in typical RPG style, such as a gnomish magician or undead warlock. Some classes in blizzard world of warcraft can only be played on one faction but that is changing when The Burning Crusade expansion was released this January.

Once your blizzard world of warcraft character is introduced into the world of Azeroth (the name of the game world) you gain experience and levels by killing mobs (non-player character enemies) and completing quests. Quests can be aquired from various sources, such as NPCs or by finding certain items. Quests usually give a nice amount of experience and often useful items so leveling is faster if you do quests as much as you can.

Items and armor are major parts of playing blizzard world of warcraft. Along with a character's level, the gear he or she is wearing and using is a sort of status symbol. Lower level players stare in awe at a maximum level character decked out in dazzling suits of armor. Armor and other items are found on mobs, given out in quests or obtained in a group or raid instance.

Grouping is a major part of playing blizzard world of warcraft. Soloing all the way to the maximum level of 60 (70 with blizzard world of warcraft burning crusade) is entirely possible but grouping has many advantages. A good group can accomplish a lot more than a single player can.

In blizzard world of warcraft killing mobs over and over for experience, or grinding as it is referred to, can be easier and faster with a group of people. Questing can also be faster when the whole group finishes a quest in a single step, whereas the solo player had to do that step by him or herself. Instances, for example, which are places where players enter their own private dungeon, often require a group or even a raid.

Raiding in blizzard world of warcraft is where things get really exciting. Some instances require many players to crawl through and clear out and have boss mobs that are impossible to kill by one player. Up to 40 players, usually all in the same guild, have to strategize to find a way to defeat a particular high-end boss mob.

Blizzard World of Warcraft even has its own economy where items are bought and sold in Auction Houses. These items are valuable to players, so some people pay a lot of in-game money or gold for them. Players have taken this economy into the real world by selling gold to other players for real currency and some people even sell whole WoW accounts.

Blizzard isn't too fond of this whole idea but they don't try to crack down on it much. Some players spend their time on blizzard world of warcraft by farming (killing mobs solely for the purpose of making money) and end up making a decent amount of real money.

Online World of Warcraft game How to Choose a Pet

Let us examine the two basic types of pets, the tank pets or the DPS Pets. There are assorted other kinds of pets that are more universal in nature, so this could be a safer option for you if you require the pets to do various things. Some of the pets, which are regarded excellent for Tanking, include, boars and bears. The bears and boars are possibly more popular since they can be fed easily. Also, for Tanking you can think about turtles, for their extra strength.

For DPS, cats make the strongest pet for your huntsman. The reasons why cats make the strongest Huntsman pet is because they can master assorted abilities quickly, simpler to feed and can harm foes in various modern ways. Over and above the cats, owls and spiders make good pets, though my own favourite is the raptor. A raptor thrives on blood and if you are hungry for blood, that is the right selection.

You are loaded with options if you require your hunter pet to do multiple functions, which are applicable to both tanking and DPS. My own favourite in this case is the wolf I just love its fierce looks and go crazy over its spine-chilling howl. The variety of attack speeds will come in handy as well.

With so many alternatives in front of you, you could make your research easier by considering two aspects how easy is it to feed and maintain them. The aspects which you ought to probe are how easy can you get their food, what are the cost, whether there are any diet restrictions or they can survive on anything. For hunters who are standard levels, outlaying too much cash on pet food does not make any sense. The other things to think about are the kinds of efforts the pet would require to be at par with your own level and what efforts are needed to improve its competence. This can be a deciding factor while picking out a pet.

Whether you are playing Horde or Alliance, the most important concern area for you should be how to master the level you are in and move up rapidly. Of course the hunter pets can be great assets for you to improve your level in the Wow game, but there are various other techniques too and the World of Warcraft leveling guides can play a very crucial role in this. My own favorite in this regard is Brian Kopp's guide for Alliance.
