World of Warcraft Wiki Guide

Every How To Video Game guide for World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s long-running MMO, covering the live game and WoW: Forever, the classic-style version with its own rulesets. Blizzard calls WoW: Forever the biggest launch in WoW history by peak concurrent players. Each guide answers one question in its first two sentences, and prices, patch changes and mechanics are checked against Blizzard’s own pages and patch notes before they go up.
