I don’t play video games, but I generally love geek culture and I keep hearing about this World of Warcraft amongst friends and at events. However I Wikipedia’d the thing and the article is super long. So anyone who plays it: how would you suggest I get started, considering I’m completely new to it?
Maybe there’s a website or something? I really don’t know just help me out here, guys.
For a Windows system, the minimum World of Warcraft system requirements are as follows: - Intel Pentium III 800 MHz or AMD Athlon 800 MHz processor - at least 512 MB of RAM, - 32 MB graphics card, - DirectX 9.0, - 6.0 GB of hard drive space - 4x CD-ROM - 56k internet connection. However, the recommended World of Warcraft system requirements are substantially higher: - Intel Pentium IV 1.5 GHz or AMD XP 1500+ MHz processor - 1024 MB of RAM - 64 MB 3D graphics card - broadband internet connection - A two-button, scroll-wheel mouse is also recommended.

The best way to get started is to ask one of your friends to help you out. You can download a trial version of the game or ask one of your friends to email you a link to download it; they’ll be happy to, since they get a nice bonus if you decide to play. Once you download the game, once again ask a friend for a server to play on – you’ll figure out what these are when you have the game up and running. For example, I play on Area 52, whereas one of your friends might play on Silvermoon. “WoW” is a complex game and there are many levels to it; as a beginner, just enjoy it. You’ll learn things over time. You don’t need to worry about learning everything at once, since it’s truly overwhelming. WoW even has tips to help you out, so it won’t be too hard to get the hang of. Good luck!
It is a MASSIVE game, and if you were to jump straight into all of it you’d be like “Wait, WHAT does this do?” But when you start, there are guides about what you can do, and they explain the basic aspect of play. As you level up, you learn more and more, and its not so hard. I play on Aman’Thul (A server) And play a druid and DK. I’d love to see you there. Message Florinea or Miaria, I can help you out with some gear and things you will need. There is a lot of lore but you will learn that through it.
