10 Reason You Should Play World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is the God of all MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). If you don't know what it is by now, you either are over 60 years old, or live under a rock. If you don't already play, have not tried it out, or quit a while back here's some reasons you should play:

1) Blizzard is one of the best video game development companies in the world. They've created multiple Computer Game of the Year games, including Starcraft, The Diablo Series, and the Warcraft series. They have a large following, and this isn't achieved by making bad games. They have some of the best minds working for them.

2) World of Warcraft has 9 Million Subscribers. You don't achieve that number in a bad game. Chances are, you know someone who plays this game, and there's good reason for it. Join them.

3) The social aspect of the game is great. With a ton of players, comes a lot of chances on making friends from around the world. I myself still keep in touch with people from different states and countries.

4) The large variation of character race/class combination makes this game last. When you first start out, you'll find it hard to stick to one character class.

5) There's a crap ton to do. The game world is big, there's thousands of quests, 70 levels to go through, professions to master, bosses to kill, and loot to acquire. You won't be done with this game for a few years.

6) Blizzard updates the game frequently. You won't be stuck with old content for long, as the ever changing world gives you new things to do.

7) PvP. The player vs player in WoW isn't the greatest out there for some, but it is a good system. Fight players from around the world, as you wage war against the opposing faction. With Battle Grounds and world PvP, the PvP whore will be satisfied with this game.

8) Roleplaying. If you like to play games to escape the real world, then the Roleplaying servers are just for you. Enjoy playing out the life of your character in the ways you want.

9) Wrath of the Lich King was recently announced. This is the perfect time to start playing. Get to level 70 before it's too late. This new expansion will expand you to another continent, as well as another 10 levels to go through, hundreds of new quests (if not thousands), and hero classes. Join your friends and don't be left in the dust.

10) You can finally join the conversations your WoW playing friends have. Don't be ever left out again when friends talk about raid bosses, items, and quests.

Bonus Reason: Murloc Movies, Leeroy Jenkins, and Chuck Norris in Barrens Chat. You can learn the ways of WoW pop culture.
