Clipuri Wizardworld:

Chat

Meeting new people in real-life is intimidating enough. How do you introduce yourself? How do you start a conversation? Thankfully, chatting in World of Warcraft is easier and more casual than anything you’d encounter in the real world. Usually, in-game chat is text-based. You will see other people’s public conversations scrolling down in the game’s chat window, and if you feel like it, you can jump in anytime and either add something to an ongoing discussion or start a conversation about a new topic.

Chat Channels:

Filtering out the noise

The standard public chat channels are General, Trade, Local Defense, Looking For Group, and Guild Recruitment. You can join and leave these channels at will, and all players can chat there as well. These channels are mostly intended to provide players with proper channels for specific topics such as item trading or guild recruitment.

You can also create your own custom chat channels. The obvious advantage of a custom channel is privacy; only people in that channel will be able to read the conversations going on there. You can also moderate these channels, meaning that you can invite, remove, mute, or otherwise moderate chat in your channel if you want.

Voice Chat

Instead of typing words to chat with other players, you can also use World of Warcraft’s built-in voice chat system to talk. All you need is a headset or a microphone and speakers. Talking is a much faster way to communicate than typing; in the heat of battle, you may not have time to type out what you want to say.

Voice chat channels: Voice chat only works in special channels set up as voice chat channels. Group and raid chat can use voice chat, as can all your custom channels, but the public chat channels do not support voice chat, nor is there any area voice chat.

Other Chat

There are three notable types of chat you should be aware of: say, yell, and whisper.

Saying

Saying something is the most basic, fundamental in-game communication tool. When you say something, your message is only visible to players in your character’s immediate vicinity. Conversations between strangers, role-playing in public places, a funny joke to share at the mailbox – these types of interaction are frequently said.

Yelling

Yelling is for when you need to reach out to players just outside of your immediate vicinity; things you yell can be read by players who are quite some distance away from you, but many consider it rude, especially if overused. Players often use yell to bark out warnings to friendly players that may otherwise be just outside of earshot. Say and yell are both forms of area chat, meant for communicating to nearby players.

Whispering

Whispering is World of Warcraft’s private communication tool. Whispers can only be heard by the specific player you target with your whisper. Better yet, whispers are not restricted to your immediate surroundings, so you can whisper any player of your own faction on your own realm, no matter where they are. (Yes, you can even ‘whisper’ to someone on a different continent. Best not to dwell on this for too long.)

Parties and Raids

If you want to take on the greatest challenges World of Warcraft has to offer, you will need allies to fight by your side against the tides of darkness. With parties and raids, you get to rally other players to join you on your quest and defeat whatever evil stands in your way.

Parties are groups of up to 5 players; you should bring a party if you want to clear most of World of Warcraft’s dungeons. Raids are larger than parties and are generally composed of 10 or 25 players; the toughest monsters of World of Warcraft can only be taken down by these large raid groups.

Forming Parties

You can form your own party anytime and anywhere; all it takes is to invite another player to join your party. If he or she accepts the invitation, you’re now in a group. You can invite players via chat, through your friends list, or by clicking on their characters… inviting players and forming parties is easy.

Group Rules

One of the reasons why you’ll want to form a party with other players is so you can take on more difficult monsters and get the superior loot they’re guarding. Of course, that raises the question of how to fairly divvy up the loot among your party. As group leader, you can choose one of five different loot rule sets:

Free For All

Anyone in your party can search the bodies of monsters killed by your party for loot. Treasure distribution is essentially first-come, first-served, winner-take-all.

Round Robin

Everyone in your party takes turns looting.

Group Loot

Similar to Round Robin, with one key difference. Whenever the group finds special or rare items, everyone in the group can choose to roll dice, and the highest roll wins the item. If you choose to roll for an item, you can roll “need” if the item in question is suited to your character or “greed” if you want the item for other reasons.

Master Looter

The leader appoints one character in the party as the master looter. The master looter gets to search monsters first, and he is responsible for how the loot is distributed among the group.

Need Before Greed

This setting is similar to Group Loot, with the exception that characters who cannot use the item automatically pass.

Group Leader

If you create a group, you are that group’s leader by default. As leader, you can adjust some of the group’s rules (more on that later), add other players to the party, and you can also kick players out of your party if they get out of line. You can also promote another player to leader at any time; if a party’s leader leaves, another player is automatically promoted to leader.

Guilds

Parties and raids are temporary alliances, but guilds are persistent groups of characters who regularly play together and who generally prefer a similar gaming style. If you are a member of a guild, you will have easier access to other players with whom you can form parties and raids, but there are a wide range of other benefits to being in a guild.

Guild Tabard
and Name

To show your suppor

t for your guild, you can have your character wear a tabard showing your guild’s colors and logo. The guild leader is responsible for making these design decisions; you have a wide range

of icons and color combinations to choose from, so let your creativity run free and create a truly unique design that your friends will wear proudly! You also have to choose a na

me for the guild when you hand in the guild charter to register your new guild. This name will be displayed underneath every guild member’s name for the world to see, so choose wi

sely.

Guild
Leadership

Just like with parties and raids, guilds have rules that their leaders can adjust and modify to give the guild structure and purpose. As a guild leader, you can:

Define Guild Ranks

You can create ranks with different titles and privileges within your guild. Some players prefer strict hierarchies, others like a more… freeform style of organization. The choice is entirely up to you.

Promote / Demote Members

You can assign the ranks you’ve defined earlier to the members of your guild, moving people up or down the totem pole depending on how they’re doing in your guild.

Manage Members

You’ll likely want your guild to grow and gain new members, but the day may come when you will have to assert your position as guild leader and remove players who are causing problems for your guild. As guild leader, you can add and remove players from your guild at any time.

Assign new Guild Leader

If you feel like your term as guild leader has come to an end, or if your guild members are calling for you to step down after that ‘unfortunate incident’, you can always pass the torch on to a new guild leader who will inherit all your powers and responsibilities.

Guild Bank

One of the benefits of being in a guild is access to a guild bank. These banks work a lot like your character’s personal bank, except this bank is shared between all guild members with guild bank privileges (as set by the guild leader). Another important difference is that you can deposit gold in your guild bank; that way, all guild members can pool their resources and help each other out with repair bills and other expenses.

Guild Chat

Every guild has its own dedicated chat channels providing all its members with a convenient means to talk to each other. The two standard channels for each guild are called Guild Chat and Officer Chat; the guild leader can set different access rights for these chats depending on your guild rank. Guild Chat is used for regular guild communication, while Officer Chat is traditionally only available to the guild’s senior members.

Guild Advancement

As your guild members grow in number and play together, your guild earns experience points that eventually translate into special perks and other bonuses for your guild as a whole. The more you play with other members of your guild, the more experience you earn for your guild.

Friends

Beyond parties, raids, and guilds, you will inevitably encounter other players who share some of the same interests, likes, and dislikes as you, people with whom you’ll end up chatting even when you’re not in a dungeon or on a quest; the kind of people where you don’t even notice the hours flying by as you swap stories, joke, and play together. In other words, you’ll make friends. Making friends and going on adventures with them is part of what makes World of Warcraft so much fun.

Friends List

You can keep track of all your in-game friends via World of Warcraft’s Friends List interface. After you’ve added someone to your friends, this handy little frame lets you know when they are online and where they are currently hanging out. You can easily chat with your friends and even invite them to your group via the friends list.

World of Warcraft follows one of Blizzard Entertainment’s primary design mantras: Easy to learn, difficult to master. The core gameplay concepts are intuitive and simple by design, so once you’ve picked up on the basics, you’ll be slaughtering monsters and saving princesses in no time. To help you get started, here’s a primer on World of Warcraft gameplay.

Your Character’s Abilities

In World of Warcraft, you can become a mighty paladin, smiting evil with righteous fury; a sly rogue, sneaking up on an unsuspecting enemy, dagger in hand and poised to strike from the shadows; a brilliant mage, unleashing torrents of destructive arcane energy to wipe out scores of monsters; or even a malevolent death knight, well-versed in the arts of swordplay and necromancy. Whatever class you choose to play, that class is defined by its abilities.

Your new character starts out with a few class abilities and you can learn many more over the course of your career. Every class has access to unique abilities that help define its role in the game and shape your experience.

Using Abilities

In order to play your character well, you need to know when to use your class abilities. Two factors determine when you can use an ability: cost and cooldown.

Each class has a different resource to expend in order to pay the cost of abilities. For example, warriors fuel their abilities with rage, which builds up as they dish out and receive damage. Rogues, on the other hand, are acrobatic fighters and thus do not use rage; instead, they spend energy, which constantly regenerates but limits how quickly they can chain together combat moves. Priests use mana to cast their spells. Mana regenerates slowly while in combat, so priests need to pay attention to how quickly they are burning through their reserves.

If an ability has a cooldown, that means that a certain amount of time needs to pass before your character is ready to use that ability again. Cooldowns can last anywhere from a few seconds to half an hour. Abilities with a long cooldown are often very powerful. Used at the right moment, these abilities can be amazingly effective.

Talents and Glyphs

Your character class determines what abilities your character can use, but World of Warcraft provides you with two ways to customize your abilities to create a character with unique strengths.

As characters grows stronger, they earn talent points. These points can be spent on talents that let your character specialize in one specific subset of his abilities; for example, mages have access to talent trees that enhance either their frost, fire, or arcane spells.

Glyphs provide another method of enhancing your abilities. Character learn and use glyphs (created by players with the Inscription profession) to make their abilities more powerful or even add new effects to abilities. A character can only equip a limited number of glyphs at a time, so choose carefully.

Quests

Being a hero means performing heroic deeds, and there are plenty of opportunities to do so on Azeroth. Mad deities, rampaging dragons, demonic evils from beyond the stars… the world is under constant threat, and it’s up to you and your friends to defend your people against these dark, destructive forces. During your life as a hero, you will embark on a series of quests to right what is wrong, to defend the weak and punish the wicked, and to make the world a better, safer place.

There are several different ways to discover quests in World of Warcraft:

Quest Givers

Certain non-player characters (NPCs) have quests for you. Quest givers always have a big ‘!’ above their head, so they’re easy to spot.

Quest Items

Sometimes you may come across items that begin a quest, like a hastily scribbled note found among the belongings of a highwayman or an old amulet recovered from the remains of a toxic oozeling. These items often have a history that forms the start of an interesting quest.

Quest Objects

You may also come across certain objects in the world that start a quest. Keep an eye out for unusual terrain, ‘wanted’ posters, or other landmarks that stand out; adventure may be waiting around the corner.

Completing Quests

You need to accomplish specific goals in order to complete quests. These objectives can be as simple as talking to a specific character or as complex as breaching a keep’s curtain wall, taking the courtyard, lowering the main gate, lighting the signal fire, and finally cornering the master of the keep.

Types of Quests

World of Warcraft offers vast potential for adventure, including access to thousands of different quests. Every quest is unique, but there are some broad categories that you can divide them into…

Normal quest

Normal quests are the most common. If your character is experienced enough, you will be able to complete these quests on your own, without the help of other players.

Group quest

Group quests are more challenging than normal quests and usually require a group of heroes to band together, but also offer better rewards. Gather your friends and prepare for battle before attempting one of these quests.

dungeon quest

Dungeon quests require you to delve deep into the dungeons of World of Warcraft, where dangerous and fearsome monsters dwell. You will need a group to complete these quests.

Heroic quest

Heroic quests are similar to dungeon quests, but you will have to overcome monsters that are even stronger and more deadly than those found in normal dungeons. Get ready for a tough fight!

Raid quest

Raid quests are similar to dungeon quests, but you will have to brave the challenges that await in the world’s most perilous places. These quests require a large group (10 or 25 players) to complete.

Player vS player quest

Player versus player quests will pit you against other players on the field of battle. Will you win glory, honor, and fame, or will you succumb to your enemies’ relentless attacks? There is only one way to find out….

Daily quest

Daily quests are repeatable quests that you can complete once each day and usually serve to line your pockets with much-needed income and other resources.

Inventory

Just as King Arthur wielded Excalibur, as Roland bore Durandal, and as Achilles donned his god-forged armor, so will you come across magic weapons, armor, and other artifacts of great power. As a matter of fact, you will come across thousands of them; the monsters of Azeroth have a surprising tendency to carry potent magical trinkets with them, ready to be looted off their cooling corpses by aspiring adventurers. But even if the kobold you just sent to the great dark beyond doesn’t have any weapons or armor, he is still sure to carry other items that you can sell for profit. This collection of items you’re lugging around with you at any given time is called your inventory.

Your Backpack and Bags

Your character begins the game with a simple backpack. It can only hold a limited number of things, but you can sign

ificantly increase

the

number of items you can pick up by carrying additional bags.

The Bank

Every major city in World of Warcraft also has a bank where you can store your items. If you run out of room in your backpack and bags, you can visit a bank and stash away any items you don’t need right now. Even better, all banks are magically connected, so you can store items in one bank and retrieve them at another!

The Auction House

Right across from most banks you’re likely to find an auction house. Players can buy and sell items from those auction houses, and some players even find

ways to turn the auction house into a reliable source of income. Who says that the hero business can’t be profitable? You can put your own it

ems up for

auction, and you can browse what other auctions are currently going on. If you are looking for a specific item, or if you have a valuable item that you don’t need, the auction house should be your first stop.

How To Make Friends And Influence People

with deepest apologies to Dale Carnegie

At its core, what makes World of Warcraft such a fun game is that you share this world with thousands of other players at the same time. You can experience the majority of the game’s content by yourself if you wish, but chatting with other players, forming groups, joining guilds, and most importantly, making friends is essential if you want to get the most out of World of Warcraft.

The above only scratches the surface of the rich social interactions World of Warcraft has to offer. Go to the next chapter to learn more about the intricacies of chat, Real ID Friends, groups, guilds, and more.

Chat

World of Warcraft includes a sophisticated chat system that allows you to talk to other players either in writing or, if you are in a group with other players, via voice chat. You can manage all your chat channels via the game’s comprehensive chat interface. You can set up private channels if you want to talk to your friends only, or you can chat in the local/global chat channels if you want to reach a larger audience, and if you are in a guild you have access to your guild’s own chat channel. The only limitation to chat in World of Warcraft, really, is chat across factions; you cannot communicate with players of the opposite faction.

Groups

You will eventually want to band together with other players to tackle a difficult quest or venture into one of the world’s many dungeons. You can either form your own group by inviting other players, join someone else’s group upon request, or you can use the game’s Dungeon Finder tool to automatically join a group for a specific dungeon via the game’s matchmaking service. Groups are limited to five players, but you can also form a raid group, which can include up to 40 people.

Guilds

Groups and raids are always temporary and cease to exist once all members leave or log off. Guilds, on the other hand, are permanent and much larger groups of players united under one banner to help each other and play the game together. Being in a guild has a few advantages; you have your own guild chat channel, you can use a shared guild bank, and guilds can earn a number of cool guild achievements and bonuses by braving certain challenges. You can either ask to join a guild, or you and your friends can form your own.

Friends

As you chat, form groups and raids, join guilds, and play together with others, you will meet other players who are genuinely good company and with whom you’d like to play more often. You should add those players to your Friends List, which allows you to keep track of your favorite players, see when they’re online, and where they are in World of Warcraft when they are logged in.

So, what is this game? Among other things,
World of Warcraft is…

…a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game

Games in the same genre as World of Warcraft are commonly referred to as MMORPGs, which stands for
‘Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game’.

Massively Multiplayer

Most multiplayer games can accommodate anywhere from two up to several dozen simultaneous players in a game.

Massively multiplayer games, however, can have thousands of players in the same game world at the same time, interacting with each other. They are, as the name suggests, massive.

Online

Unlike most games, MMORPGs do not have an offline mode; you need to be connected to the Internet while you play. This doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy these games alone; World of Warcraft offers plenty of content to players who want to go it solo. But since you share a virtual world with other players, you need to be connected to the Internet to join in the fun. Much of the game’s advanced content is geared towards groups of players working together to explore dangerous dungeons and defeat powerful monsters.

Role-Playing

In World of Warcraft, each player character has a specific set of skills and abilities that define that character’s role. For example, mages are powerful spellcasters who use magic to inflict damage on their enemies from afar but are very vulnerable to attacks. These traits define the role of the mage: hang back, do a ton of damage, and hope to kill the monsters before they reach you.

In a group context, there are three main roles: tank, damage dealer, and healer. A warrior can choose to serve as a formidable ‘tank’, or protector. Tanks are resilient, and it’s their job to draw the enemy’s attention away from the more vulnerable members of the group. The aforementioned mages make excellent damage dealers. A priest specialized in healing powers may not do as much damage as other classes, but they can play a vital role, keeping the party alive with healing magic. It’s important to note that all classes, regardless of which role they perform, are able to play solo. Some classes are limited in the kind of role they can play: warlocks and rogues, for instance, are strictly damage dealers. Some character classes, like the druid, can capably fulfill all three roles.

Role-play also means that you play the role of a character living in the game’s fantasy world. How much or how little you role-play is up to you; some players construct entire background histories for their characters and adopt unique mannerisms when they’re ‘in character’. Immersing yourself completely in the fantasy can be a lot of fun, but tastes vary, and it’s perfectly alright if full immersion simply isn’t your style. This kind of role-play is purely optional, and we provide separate Role-Play realms for those who prefer to play in an immersive world.

To summarize: In an MMORPG, you play the role of a unique character in a persistent online world shared by thousands

of other players.

…set in the high-fantasy universe of Warcraft

Before World of Warcraft, there was the Warcraft series of strategy games. World of Warcraft is set in the same high-fantasy universe as the previous Warcraft games, and it builds on and expands a legacy of more than fifteen years of epic storytelling.

Azeroth is a world of swords and sorcery. Its lands are home to a vast number of races and cultures, led by kings, chieftains, lords, ladies, archdruids, and everything in between. Some of Azeroth’s people share bonds of friendship reaching back thousands of years; others are sworn enemies with long histories of bitter hatred. Among all these different kingdoms, cultur

es, tribes, and territories, two major power blocs are locked in a struggle for dominance.

THE FACTIONS AND RACES OF WARCRAFT:

Alliance and Horde

In Warcraft, there are two large, opposing factions. On one side is the noble Alliance, which comprises the valiant humans, the stalwart dwarves, the ingenious gnomes, the spiritual night elves, the mystical draenei, and the bestial worgen;

on the other side is the mighty Horde, made up of the battle-hardened orcs, the cunning trolls, the hulking tauren, the cursed Forsaken, the extravagant blood elves, and the devious goblins. Your character’s race will determine whose side you are on, so choose carefully.

Epic as they may be, these wars between the mortal races pale in comparison to the malevolent forces threatening Azeroth from within and without. Deep beneath the surface of Azeroth, the terrible Old Gods mastermind the release of untold horrors upon the world; in the frozen wastes of the northern continent, a being of pure evil commands a vast army of undeath, ready to snuff out all life; and far across the stars, deep within the warped realm of the Twisting Nether, an unstoppable force of chaos and destruction thirsts to lead its demonic legion to Azeroth and to put the world to the flame.

World of Warcraft thrusts you into a central role of an ever-changing story. You and your friends will be active participants in events that are steeped in the rich lore of this fantasy universe. Fight for either the Alliance or the Horde, and experience a fully-realized fantasy world.

…centered around persistent online personae

In World of Warcraft, you play the role of a fantasy hero. Over the course of his or her life, your character will brave thousands of quests, learn new and powerful abilities, amass (and likely spend) vast fortunes of gold, and find hundreds of powerful weapons, enchanted rings, artifacts, suits of armor, and more.

In other words, your character progresses and gets stronger as you gain experience, new skills, and more powerful items and equipment. Your character’s progress is automatically stored online, which means that you always pick up right where you left off when you start the game again. In fact, your character’s data can be stored for as long as you want, so you can progress at whatever pace you feel most comfortable with. Some players blaze through the game’s content at record speed to reach t

he endgame as quickly as possible, while others prefer to take the time to stop and smell the roses. The choice is entirely up to you.

But what’s more, you are not limited to just one character. You can keep a roster of several different characters (currently up to 50), and each character will present you with an entirely different game experience depending on what race and class you choose for them.

Class and race

Defining Your Character

When you create your character, you must make two decisions that profoundly affect how you will play World of Warcraft. One of these is your race, the other is your class.

A character’s race determines his overall look and also his faction (Alliance or Horde). Faction is important because only characters of the same faction can talk and cooperate with each other; you will not be able to communicate or band together with members of the opposite faction. Race is mostly a social choice.

Your class, on the other hand, determines what your character can and can’t do. Each class offers a vastly different gameplay experience, so the best way to find out which class is right for you is by creating a few different characters to get a glimpse of what each class feels like. And of course, there’s also the class guide on this website. Class is mostly a gameplay choice.

…a world of magic, mystery, and limitless adventure

Being a hero sounds great in theory, what with all the glory, fame, fortune, friendly faces in every town, and songs of your epic exploits around every campfire, but what do heroes actually do?

Essentially, the core gameplay of World of Warcraft of revolves around fighting monsters and completing quests. You will encounter thousands of non-player characters (NPCs), computer-controlled characters who may need your help with tasks ranging from the mundane (such as delivering a letter) to the truly heroic (rescuing a dwarven princess from the evil Dark Iron Clan, for example). More often than not, these quests will put you right in harm’s way, and you’ll find yourself squaring off against deadly monsters. You will be able to deal with most monsters you encounter by yourself, but the true challenges and the big payoffs await in the world’s many dungeons and raids, which can only be conquered by groups of heroes working together as a team.

Another aspect of the life of a hero is the constant struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. Even though there are curren

tly no all-out wars, tensions are high, and small skirmishes regularly take place all over Azeroth where players from both sides fight each other. T

his is called player-versus-player combat (PvP).

Dungeons

Dungeons are dangerous places where the monsters are much stronger and much smarter, making them difficult to kill. Dungeons are geared towards small groups

of no more than 5 players and on average take about half an hour to fully explore. The loot found in dungeons is of higher quality than what you’d find out in the wild, but it is usually not as valuable or powerful as the loot that can be acquired in raids.

Raids

Raids are similar to dungeons, but they pose an even bigger challenge. Monsters are even tougher, the area to explore is usually much larger,

and they require bigger groups of players to complete, usually 10 or 25. Due to the higher level of difficulty, raids may take longer to finish than dungeons, but the rewards are well worth the effort. The game’s most powerful items and artifacts can be found in raids.

Open-world PVP

Open-world PvP can happen anywhere in the world where players of opposing factions meet. These fights usually start as small one-on-one confrontations, but sometimes this type of PvP escalates to massive proportions, especially if an organized group of players decides to jump into the fray.

Battlegrounds

Battlegrounds are PvP battlefields where the two factions are engaged in constant battle over specific strategic targets. Two teams are pitted against each other and must achieve a set of objectives in order to win. These objectives can be simple (such as capturing the enemy flag) or complex (breaching an enemy stronghold and assassinating its commander, for example). You can earn powerful weapons and armor by participating in these battles.

The Arena

The Arena offers a slightly different PvP experience. In this more formal setting, organized teams of 2, 3, or 5 players square off in a bloody competition for fame and glory. There is only one objective – defeat every last member of the opposing team. Arena teams are ranked on a competitive ladder and can gain unique equipment that offers benefits optimized towards PvP gameplay.

The Road Ahead

World of Warcraft is a truly massive game. Between the original game, regular patches that add new content, and three full-fledged expansions – The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and Cataclysm – hundreds of hours of gameplay content await you. We’ve outlined the basics , but only scratched the surface of all that World of Warcraft has to offer.
