| World of Warcraft is a roleplaying game, which means a player takes on the role of a character they create and battle their way through creatures, dungeons and traps to earn experience and find treasure. Dungeons in WOW are called instances because one is spawned specifically for each party that enters it. This way, a group of would-be adventurers can go into a dungeon and explore it all to themselves without having to fight other players for creatures, or being forced to "camp" locations to get treasure. Like many RPGs, the first 20 or so levels are very easy and attainable within a few days of play. However, the remaining 40 levels take far longer. The word "Grind" is used to describe what it is like to level up a character - so you can imagine what that entails. |
