World Of Warcraft Popularity

Massive multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) are a well known

, well used hobby by gamers of all ages. Video and computer games have been and still often are considered a kid or teen thing, but that has changed in recent years. Many adults nowadays have grown up playing video games and do have the view that such are 'kid stuff'. In addition to video game consoles and computer games, there are now the MMORPGs. These games are online role playing games where the gamer chooses and outfits a personal avatar through which they interact in the virtual world.

World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of such MMORPGs that has taken the gaming world by storm, gaining a vast and devout following since its debut in 2004. With two expansion packs having been released in recent years and a third expansion pack entitled Cataclysm ready to release in 2010, WoW is ever expanding. Diehard fans are eagerly ready to buy WoW Cataclysm, for a new expansion pack has not been seen since 2008. Those who buy Cataclysm can expect a complete redesign of many worlds as well as a shakeup in avatars, options and quests. New and fresh realms and adventures as well as options for the avatars, or toons, are the way MMORPGs keep gamers coming back over and over.

Gaming platforms such as World of Warcraft have several worlds, sometimes called servers, which players can choose to venture into. The chosen avatar starts out very basic and skills must be learned along the way in order to advance the avatar's abilities and preferences. The possibilities are nearly endless in avatar development, especially with the addition of WoW expansion packs. Expansion packs are not necessary to fully participate or enjoy the game, however, they do add a lot to the overall experience. This is especially true with this latest expansion, Cataclysm.

Gamers can buy World of Warcraft Cataclysm in a variety of ways, as with other expansion pack releases. The cd keys can be pre purchased online so that the gamer in question is ready and waiting when the expansion pack release time comes. By choosing this method, gamers can be playing the newest expansion in a matter of minutes after the release goes live. This is an ideal situation for many diehard WoW fans. The expansion packs can also be purchased from stores, both offline and online once the release is set in motion.
