The online game World of Warcraft is hugely popular with more than five million people now regularly spending time in Azeroth, trying to turn apprentice adventurers into fully-formed heroes.
World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game and, as that lengthy title implies, gives gamers the chance to control characters in a large net-based fantasy world. Characters can be one of several different races, that includes humans, orcs and cow-like creature called Tauren, and can take up a profession as warrior, thief, wizard, priest and so on.
