A massive massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft is by far the most popular Massively Multiplayer Online Game game ever created. Millions log in every day to quest in the gigantic world of Azeroth to slay dragons, other epic foes, and possibly most importantly, each other. What makes these games so compelling?

For starters, it's huge, and growing. With new expansions all the time and a massive world to begin with, there is much to explore in Azeroth. From beautiful forests to dark graveyars and everything in between, there is a vast landscape with lots of variety to adventure in. Blizzard has a talent for crafting worlds that bend to the fictional societies that inhabit them, and the world of Azeroth feels very alive despite the cartoonish appearance.

World of Warcraft is currently the number one MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) right now and it should be. Why? Cause it's so addicting. Once someone plays it, they will get hooked. It is one of the most enthralling games around and there's something about the game that just gets you hooked once you play the game.

World of Warcraft lets you escape real life and enter an alternative world where you can pick your race and power. People in the game sometimes get involved in their character which makes it more fun. Bad mouthing, ambushing and raiding the other race is just a daily routine for some players in the game.

People tend to play World of Warcraft for long periods of time because if it's addictive nature. Why is it so addictive? Is it because there a millions of other users like yourself playing the game? Or is it because of the game play? Whatever it is, one cannot explain why they are so addicted to the game. I'll be honest with you. I have skipped school once or twice because I felt like staying home and playing World of Warcraft instead.

The world of the game still exists and grows even when you are not playing it. One of the game's features actively encourages players to take a break every now and again. World of Warcraft features an element called the rested state, a reward system for more casual players. When players have their characters stay in an inn or a city, in other words when they aren't playing the game, they earn certain bonuses and advantages. This can help with their progress when they do return to it.

The most addictive part of the game for me is the raiding aspect of it. You get into a group of 25 people which you are forced to work together in order to take down a boss. The boss requires strategy and teamwork. It can take up to a week of strategy and teamwork in order to take down a boss in the game. That is what it makes it so fun. It's not like any other game which requires no strategy at all. No matter if your playing the game for only an hour a week or forty plus hour a week, it's the best MMOPRG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) alive today.
