First Look: World of Warcraft

First Look by THED-PADDESTROYER | 03/17/2004 | 12:32:19 PM PST

Blizzard gives you a chance to get online and say ?Zug zug? to the other peons.

Taking the lush world Blizzard created for Warcraft and its sequels, World of Warcraft will allow you to take on a more personal role in the war between the orcs and the humans. Unlike the current online RPGs on the market, WoW will make it easy for casual gamers to pick up an axe or a staff and have fun bashing baddies, with gameplay tuned for low downtime and tactics against multiple enemies more than sitting around waiting for a single monster to spawn. A dynamic quest system will make sure you always have something to smash, keeping the action fresh and virtually eliminating camping. Keep your eyes on this site for updates as they come in. In the meantime, check out the cinematic trailer (46MB) and this early gameplay footage (64MB).
