World of Warcraft is one of the most known on-line game. It is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) from Blizzard. World of Warcraft (also referred to wow), holds the Guinness World Record for the most popular MMORPG.

It has two expansions: the first one is the Burning Crusade which was released in 2007, and the second one Wrath of the Lich King which was released in 2008.



A third expansion called Cataclysm was announced in 2009 and it was tested in a closed beta version in June which will be released this year in November. Unfortunately this game is not for free. The Subscription options for World of Warcraft (in U.S dollars):

1 month: $14.99

3 months: $41.97 ($13.99 per month)

6 months: $77.94 ($12.99 per month)

If you really-really love this game, then you should subscribe, because there are no lags, sudden disconnections, and everything works properly.

So you are new to this game and you’re wondering if it will work with your video card? Let me tell you something before I’ll get into this. I played World of Warcraft the Burning Crusade expansion with a GeForce 2 and 64 MB video memory. Believe it or not, the graphics were great; I had no problem with it. I got level 70 without problems (regarding to the graphics).
