World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft (Also known as WoW) was created in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the first 'Warcraft' game to be outside the RTS (Real-Time Strategy) genre. WoW is set in Azeroth, about four years after the events of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

Since release, the game has had four expansions: The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of the Lich King, (2008), Cataclysm, (2010) and Mists of Pandaria (2012). A fifth expansion is due to be released in late 2014/early 2015, Warlords of Draenor.
