Can World Of Warcraft be Purchased with Real Money?

By Jason Farmer


With its popularity exploding well into the next decade of twenty-first century, Blizzard's Entertainment's fantasy MMORPG World of Warcraft has obtained the largest subscriber base of any multi-player online role-playing game in the history of the gaming industry. Millions are sitting behind their computers all day every day wandering the extent of the huge maps of Blizzard's World of Warcraft (the sequel to Warcraft III). Some take it a step further and actually purchase gold with real money, which is actually forbidden in the game.

One aspect that makes this game so much fun is that it enables the player to truly develop his or her character in unique ways classic to role-playing games, but what differentiates Blizzard's World of Warcraft (the sequel to Warcraft III) from other role-playing games is the sheer depth and breadth of how a character can be customized. Characters can learn different skills, acquire different weapons, armor, and items, complete a multitude of quests of various types, and they can do all of this while interacting with millions of real players in real-time.

With Warcraft III focused on orcs and humans, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft (the sequel to Warcraft III) has really stepped it up with the customization of a characters class and race. There is also a nearly endless world for players to explore and discover new enemies, items, and quests. With so much to do, it can be quite intimidating for new players when they are trying to figure out what to do first. The high level of interactivity capabilities is what makes this game so unique, and it allows newbies to partner up with more experienced players.

One important aspect that is not unique to this game is that players are actually able to choose to fight against other players. This type of activity has provoked many to side with certain factions and hold small battles involving a handful of players. This type of game player makes for an exciting incentive for players to build their characters with stronger and as much abilities, weapons, and armor as possible.

Many people that do not play Blizzard Entertainment's fantasy MMORPG WoW do not understand why so many do it, but a lot of them are afraid to join because they fear there is too much competition from existing high level characters if they choose to go PvP. Or perhaps they fear that the game will just consume too much of their time when they have other duties such as work, school, and family to attend to. This is why certain ambivalent players have taken it to another level and created leveling guides for those who do not have eons to wander around aimlessly looking for ways to level their character.
