World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Play game, or MMORPG. It was developed by Blizzard Entertainment, and boasts over a million players in total. People around the globe, from just about every country imaginable, have become addicted to the game

In World of Warcraft, a user creates a character and explores the vast world of Azeroth. Players can choose between two sides to be on: the Horde or the Alliance. The Horde is comprised of more evil characters, such as the undead or trolls. The Alliance is considered the good guys, and resembles classic knight mottos and values. Through these two teams, users can choose several races and classes to join that expand the possibilities of unique characters.

Races are bound to the two teams. For instance, you can only play as a Human if you join Alliance. If you wish to join the Undead, then you must play as the Horde. Races will have different bonuses for joining them or in some cases, negative effects. Some Horde races such as the Tauren or Orcs will suffer a reputation deficit in the beginning which is essentially how non-playable characters deal with you. For the most part, the races are balanced to a fair extent on both sides, although the Horde depend more on strength overall rather than intelligence or mobility.

Classes determine what your character will do throughout the game. You might want to be a warrior, priest, or rogue up to 9 possibilities in total. From morphing into beasts, to wielding long range weapons, the class will ultimately determine how you play World of Warcraft. Some classes are very specific such as the Priest who relies on healing powers to advance in the game. Then there is the Shaman who has a myriad of magical spells, all while being able to do a fair amount of melee damage.

World of Warcraft presents the user with many options in character creation and that is only the start. From here on out, the player is immersed in a incredibly large world with literally thousands of things to do. The interactions, guilds, fights, duels, exploration, and overall intense game play make World of Warcraft extremely addicting and it shows. With over one million players worldwide, the game is the most popular of its kind. To get started, a credit card or pre-paid game card is needed. Despite the monthly fee that is imposed, players gladly shell out money in exchange for the great opportunity to play such a famous MMORPG. 

How do you get around? On kites, of course! The factions have brought a few classic taxies, but Pandaria Air involves surfing through the skies to get where you’re going. Your flying mounts will work in Pandaria, but only after you hit Level 90.

There’s a new mount type to make up for this, though – the Cloud Serpent. You can’t just buy one; instead, you have to raise your own from an egg over the course of many, many daily quests. At the moment, it’s tough to see how these will be better than a regular mount – they appear to be the same speed – except for acting as a flying ego-boost.

For a pet that’s easier to look after, you want Pet Battles. This ‘don’t call it Pokemon!’ mode lets you turn any critter that you’ve collected into a warrior, from the Tiny Goldfish to the Spirit of Competition. Each one levels up, unlocking new abilities to use in their special turn-based battles. You can have up to 500 pets in total, and three of any kind.

Pet Battles is a whole new game, accessible from Level 3. Animals fought in the wild can be captured without the need for a magic ball, with a matchmaking system to pair your fi nest critters off against other player tamers. Not trainers! That’s that ‘other’ game…

Azeroth itself is still ripped apart by the Cataclysm, although you’ll fi nd a few changes here and there: notably the new Pandaren outposts and hot-air balloons. If you’ve not logged in for a while, you’ll also fi nd new portals to the later Cataclysm dungeons and a tribute to Deathwing’s fall – complete with character to show you the ending movie – although it won’t make any sense at all if you’ve not seen the rest of the story. 

Surroundings too pretty? Head south to the Krasarang Wilds for lots of sinister purple swamps and what’s hands down Pandaria’s least interesting zone. While the Valley is mostly just greenery, at least it’s sunny and scenic, with lots of rolling hills and ambient wildlife trying to murder you. Here, things are dark, murky, and while there’s plenty to do, there isn’t the same immediate hook as most of the other zones.

The Dread Wastes! With a name like that, you know it’s going to be worth a visit. There’s a big wall in your way, but you can swim round it if you like, and explore a horrific world of darkness with a sky swirling in ghostly doom. Areas with names like ‘Heart of Fear’ await you at Levels 89-90, along with – somewhat less dramatically – ‘Soggy’s Gamble’ and ‘The Horrid Marsh’. That sounds very horrid. Not scary though.

Townlong Steppes is more civilised, with colour-coded grass on its towering islands. Beyond that, it remains a mystery. Between it and the Dread Wastes is your main goal here: a giant door under siege by locust men that protect Pandaria’s Level 90 zone, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Amusingly, this sealed-off land that nobody ever sees already has flight points on the map. Try not to notice that. It’s only polite…

Finally, there’s the snowy mountain of Kun-Lai Summit. It’s for Levels 87-88, although Monks will be familiar with it before then – it’s where their special training monastery is, atop the Peak of Serenity. If you need a reason to return here every now and again, defeating trainers gets you an hour-long XP boost – 50% from both quests and enemies.

Not everything in Pandaria is as it appears though. Early on, you visit the Temple of the Jade Serpent – where you shoot fireworks for a little panda cub, smash bookworms in the library, and do all the usual questing stuff. Later though, it becomes one of Pandaria’s first dungeons. It’s the map you know, only now it’s fi lled with vengeful ghosts. 

When it comes to playble races in World of Warcraft there is a little something for everyone. With two factions filled with thirteen different races to choose from, many would claim that more would just overload the system. Despite this, each and every one of us has that one race that we would love the chance to play. Whether it is the lethal Naga or the rather unintelligent Kobolds, we all dream of taking that one unplayable race out for a spin.

New playable races are not added everyday in World of Warcraft, so the likelihood of seeing your favorite race become playable is slim. However, the chance is always there and we can always dream. Below you will find five of the races we would like to see made playable. Check them out below and see if they match up with your own personal list!

Naga

The Naga are former Highborn night elves who followed Queen Azshara and mutated into nasty human-like sea serpents. While the Naga have been trolling the Horde and Alliance for years, I think that there must be at least a small group who is tired of trying to take over the surface world and failing. Not only would playing a character who silthers rather than walks be bad ass, the Naga are intelligent and deadly, and wicked combination for a World of Warcraft playable race. Since the Alliance supports the High Elves, it is likely that the Naga would become a Horde race.

Val’kyr

The Val’kyr of a type of undead Vrykul and one of the best looking races in the game (in my humble opinion). Once these flying bringers of death were minions of the Lich King, however, after his fall this race has become “unemployed”. The Forsaken have taken advantage of this and have brought several of the Val’kyr into their ranks, making a perfect opening for this race to become a playable part of the Horde. 

ust from the appearance, maybe the two-hand weapon is more proper for DK. The Frostmourne used by Alsace is two-hand sword. With the WLK orange weapon Shadowmourne, you can never resist the glamour of two-hand weapon. So, we are going to talk about how to choose wow items as the most proper weapons for DK.

But from the demand of the team, to output higher DPS is much more important than appearance. Players should make the options according to your own operation habits and tastes. Today, we are going to talk about the Frost DK’s output from two-hand weapon and double-hold weapon.

When the blood volume of the target is lower than 35%, Soul Reaper is absolutely the priority. No matter you are using two-hand weapon or double-hold weapon, you should obey this rule. From the damage caused every single time, with the same level of gear, the damage from two-hand weapon is higher than one-hand weapon. So, the damage of Soul Reaper in every single attack caused by two-hand weapon is higher as a result, but the difference is not large. On the other hand, it is also very important to keep illness.

The biggest difference exists in the normal stage, when the blood volume of the target is higher than 35%. You need to keep illness and choose main damage output skills with high frequency. As the talent varies, the passive skills can be strengthened by different degrees according to different weapons you choose. That is the main reason to cause the difference.

Obliterate is a skill that depend of weapons a lot, which means, when you use Obliterate, the damage caused by two-hand weapon is more impressive than one-hand weapons. While the skill Might of the Frozen Wasters can provide buff to damages caused by two-hand weapons. It makes the Obliterate the most important skill to cause high-frequency damages to cause damages while using two-hand weapon.

Threat of Thassarian can also help strengthen the damage caused by Obliterate while using double-hold weapons. But Frost Strike which needs to consume rune energy is not a better choice for double-hold DK. Obliterate is just used to consume and control the rune energy for the double-hold DK.

As high-frequency skills consume different kinds of resources, the rhythm of double-hold DK is much faster than two-hand DK. The runes control of two-hand weapon DK is more precise relatively.
