World Of Warcraft Sword
The History Of World Of Warcraft
First came computer games. Then DSL came along, and broadband online access came along followed by computer games which anyone can just sit in front of their computer and play games all day long. This functionality has led to the development of several phenomenally successful “Massively Multiple Online Role Playing Games,” or MMOs as they have come to be known in the industry.
By far, one of the most successful MMO’s is the game “World of Warcraft” which currently has over 7 million players on board! Like many games of it’s kind, World of Warcraft was constructed on a midieval fantasy platform, a combination of Camelot and Tolkien with a touch of original elements mixed in. The world is filled with magic spells, swords and shields, gold pieces and assorted items of value, and skills both worldly and other worldly that a character can acquire with practice and effort – and hours online.
A player in the World of Warcraft game creates an Avatar which is a fictional character whose role you will use while playing the game. The game is a never-ending series of quests that leads to slaying monsters, acquiring wealth and property and higher levels of skill – and interacting with other players in order to accomplish many of these things. Normally, a player will create a certain identity with a set of skills that allows him to join wizards, virtual professionals or a guild of similar artisans.
There is a significant social interaction component to this game and other MMOs. Indeed, game designers build “virtual third places” to encourage interactions. Quality time playing World of Warcraft can be time well spent with others, whether you are raiding a dungeon in a group, chatting with guild mates while exploring the wilderness or just socializing with bystanders sin a cantina.
One would assume that World of Warcraft is another extension of high-school and twenty-something gamers having it out online. There is a good deal of that – but it is also clear that the game’s popularity has extended well beyond the original gaming demographic – as has interest in other MMOs such as Second Life.
The clearest indicator of the intensity with which the game is played and its extension into the world of working adults is the role -so to speak – that the game has taken on in the real world. Players have taken to developing skills or acquiring rare and virtually valuable in-game properties and selling them for real money on such exchange sites as eBay. This is not something the game developers want to encourage, and is generally forbidden, not just by World of Warcraft, but most MMOs.
There is a big market for these products and they will continue to flourish as long as their popularity continues. An author of a book on the MMO phenomenon interviewed several players who were involved in significant expenditures for game pieces such as swords, real estate or magic spells. Amongst these players he found a bread truck driver, a carpenter and other working men with families.
Another class of players he interviewed were people who have quit their careers to sell World of Warcraft Merchandise. Most of these individuals sell their World of Warcraft merchandise online just like those who are quitting the game or those experiencing some financial problems sell entire characters. Rare, in-game items like powerful characters and powerful swords can bring in hundreds of dollars. While these activities help drive the popularity of the game, they are still considered against the game’s “terms of service.”
WoW has continued to shatter records for MMOs, and its combination of addicting game-play and social interaction has proven tough to beat. WOW players invest much time and also a monthly fee to enjoy this experience on a regular basis. These MMO’s are expected to grow even faster with the never-ending increases in internet speed.

Arthas $82.29 Frostmourne. It was caught in a hovering, jagged chunk of ice, the runes that ran the length of its blade glowing a cool blue. Below it was a dais of some sort, standing on a large gently raised mound that was covered in a dusting of snow. A soft light, coming from somewhere high above where the cavern was open to daylight, shone down on the runeblade. The icy prison hid some details of the sword’s shape and form, exaggerated others. It was revealed and concealed at the same time, and all the more tempting, like a new lover imperfectly glimpsed through a gauzy curtain. Arthas knew the blade — it was the selfsame sword he had seen in his dream when he first arrived. The sword that had not killed Invincible, but that had brought him back healed and healthy. He’d thought it a good omen then, but now he knew it was a true sign. This was what he had come to find. This sword would change everything. Arthas stared raptly at it, his hands almost physically aching to grasp it, his fingers to wrap themselves around the hilt, his arms to feel the weapon swinging smoothly in the blow that would end Mal’Ganis, end the torment he had visited upon the people of Lordaeron, end this lust for revenge. Drawn, he stepped forward. The uncanny elemental spirit drew its icy sword. Turn away, before it is too late, it intoned. * * * His evil is legend. Lord of the undead Scourge, wielder of the runeblade Frostmourne, and enemy of the free peoples of Azeroth. The Lich King is an entity of incalculable power and unparalleled malice — his icy soul utterly consumed by his plans to destroy all life on the World of Warcraft. But it was not always so. Long before his soul was fused with that of the orc shaman Ner’zhul, the Lich King was Arthas Menethil, crown prince of Lordaeron and faithful paladin of the Silver Hand. When a plague of undeath threatened all that he loved, Arthas was driven to pursue an ill-fated quest for a runeblade powerful enough to sav |
