• Gul’dan returns to his home village and burns it and everyone within it to ash to prevent anyone from learning about his past. He then ventures to the Shadowmoon clan and convinces them to let him join them, claiming that his home village was destroyed by ogres. Gul’dan wins the friendship of the Shadowmoon chieftain, the shaman Ner’zhul, allowing Kil’jaeden to begin manipulating Ner’zhul’s thoughts.^[91]
• Gul’dan manipulates the Bladewind clan into launching raids on draenei caravans, killing and kidnapping dozens of draenei. Vindicator Maraad and the draenei retaliate and storm the Bladewind village, but when Maraad sees the corpse of his sister Leran he goes into a rampage across the village. Gul’dan kills the few surviving Bladewinds as they attempt to flee. He then returns to the Shadowmoon and tells of how the draenei launched an unprovoked massacre against the Bladewinds. Meanwhile, Kil’jaeden appears to Ner’zhul in his dreams, disguised as the spirit of his deceased mate Rulkan, and tells him that the draenei are planning to destroy the orcs. Ner’zhul calls for a clan meeting at Oshu’gun, where the orc chieftains agree to band together to defeat the draenei, marking the creation of the Horde.^[91]

• Displeased by the disarray and infighting in the Horde, Kil’jaeden commands Gul’dan to find a single, true leader for the orcs — a warchief. Gul’dan convinces Blackhand to take up the position after training some of the Blackrock clan‘s shaman how to wield fel magic and magically age young orcs, including Blackhand’s young sons, Dal’rend and Maim.
• Gul’dan forms the Shadow Council to watch over the orcs and includes Blackhand in the organization, but Gul’dan’s trusted Shadowmoon warlocks secretly form the inner circle of the organization. The warlock recruits new members for the council, including Cho’gall and Garona, and creates a group called the necrolytes.^[92]
• Zagrel, Chieftain of the Whiteclaw clan, is assassinated by Garona on behalf of Gul’dan for speaking out against the Horde.^[92]

• The orcs gather at a mountain near the Citadel and drink the blood of Mannoroth at Gul’dan’s urging. Durotan forbids the Frostwolves from drinking after having received an anonymous message from Ner’zhul, while Orgrim refuses out of suspicion for the growing corruption of the orcs and Draenor. Those who do drink the blood are driven into a ferocious bloodlust and march against Shattrath as Gul’dan infuses the mountain with fel energy, transforming it into the Throne of Kil’jaeden.^[92]
• The victims of the red pox quarantined in Garadar remain isolated from the fel corruption, leading them to become known as the Mag’har, «Uncorrupted».^[92]
• Velen leads many Shattrath civilians to a refuge in Telredor. The orcs launch an assault on Shattrath, unleashing the red mist against the draenei. Before long, the city falls to the Horde.^[92]
• Many of the survivors retreat to Auchindoun. Teron’gor and other Shadow Council agents are dispatched to the mausoleum, but when they are repelled by the draenei and Auchindoun’s spirits they attempt to summon a powerful demon to aid them. Instead, they accidentally summon Murmur, whose arrival blasts Auchindoun apart and levels the surrounding forests. The warlocks bind Murmur within Auchindoun to prevent it from wreaking havoc on the Horde.^[92]

Nomad

The history of World of Warcraft has its origins in Project Nomad. Accounts differ as to the timing of this project, some stating that work began on it after the release of StarCraft,[35] others that development on the game had begun prior to the «crunch period» of StarCraft’s development, and as a result, developers were transferred to work on the RTS game.[36]Nomad itself was to be a sci-fi squad-based shooter, some of its developers taking inspiration from Necromunda, others from Final Fantasy.[37] Those in the former camp conceptualized a squad-based game where players would build up squads of soldiers, upgrade their abilities, find new guns, and go online to challenge other players’ armies.[38] Its gameplay would be similar to that of the X-COM games.[39] Those in the latter camp wanted an adventure/RPG game.[38]

The lack of direction didn’t help and the game was scrapped in favor of World of Warcraft.[37] During development, Kevin Beardslee and Bill Petras wanted to make something else entirely different from what Nomad was, specifically a more accessible version of EverQuest.

Post-release

The game released in late 2004. Surpassing expectations, the game had reached 5 million subscribers by the end of 2005. Blizzard had to develop tech and customer support on the fly in order to keep up with the demand.[42] Not only was it well received by the critics,[48] but it also became the best selling PC Game of 2005 and 2006.[49] It was recognized at the 2005 Spike TV Video Game Awards where it won Best PC Game, Best Multiplayer Game, Best RPG, and Most Addictive Game.[50]

In 2007, Blizzard predicted that the game would last for five more years, which spurred them to develop Titan as their successive MMO.[51]

As of 2022, Blizzard’s intended development pattern is to keep content at a relatively steady pace—still producing expansions, but with shorter gaps between content implementation.[52] The game has been likened to a sandbox with content being added over time.[53] Expansions are planned out in advance, with narrative threads in one expansion leading to events in the next.[54]

On October 30, 2022, lead designer Ion Hazzikostas stated that World of Warcraft will still be around at its 20th anniversary, in 2024.[55]

As of June 2022, the World of Warcraft team comprises around 235 people.[56]

Pre-release

Development of World of Warcraft was first announced in September 2001[40] at the ECTS tradeshow. There was little fanfare in the original announcement, and the original development team consisted of around fifty individuals.[41] Inspiration was taken from other MMOs such as Ultima Online and EverQuest, using the lore and characters of Warcraft as the basis for the setting.

It would be a risky venture, as the company had grown used to games passing the 1 million sales mark, whereas EverQuest had peaked at the 500,000 subscriber mark. While a subscription fee would help recoup costs, there was unease as to whether the game’s reception would be as positive as Blizzard’s previous games,[42] and it was thought that the game would only appeal to pre-existing Warcraft fans.[41] Furthermore, few members of Blizzard had experience in developing MMOs, and while they enjoyed playing them, there was fears that the game would be overshadowed by Star Wars Galaxies and EverQuest 2.

When the game was first announced, members of the press often asked Blizzard as such, seeing them as «the RTS company.»[43] By 2002, the game’s visual design was being worked on.[44] There was initial pushback in Blizzard as to the Alliance/Horde faction divide, as some feared that some players wouldn’t like it because they couldn’t play with friends (if they chose different factions).[45]

The game originally had a true to life day-night cycle, which dictated when events and spawns would happen. This idea was scrapped so that players wouldn’t have to disrupt their real lives to do these time-specific activities.[46]

The game had a significant «crunch period» of development.[47]

Split

On 2 May 2007, it was announced that WoWWiki would be moving to Wikia. This move occurred two weeks later.

Subscriber numbers

World of Warcraft’s subscriber numbers have fluctuated tremendously over the years. With a peak of 12 million monthly subscribers in October 2022,[21]World of Warcraft remains among the most popular MMORPGs[13][22] and holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s most popular subscription-based MMORPG.[23][24][25][26] Though World of Warcraft had dropped to 7.

4 million subscribers as of the release of patch 6.0.2[27], when the Warlords of Draenor expansion released a few weeks later it briefly jumped all the way back up to 10 million[28] before settling back down to 7.1 million.[29] In the final report in October 2022, there were 5.5 million subscribers.[30]

In January 2022 it was announced that more than 100 million accounts and 500 million characters had been created over the game’s lifetime, with players in 244 different countries.[31][32]

In November 2022, Blizzard announced that they would no longer give regular updates of subscriber numbers, as they felt there were better performance metrics they could use.[33] For a graphical representation of subscriber numbers up to November 2022, click here.

As of Q2 2021, World of Warcraft is among the three largest franchises of Activision Blizzard, alongside Call of Duty and Candy Crush.[34]

Summary of each class

There are currently twelve playable classes in-game, with a thirteenth class the evoker being added in Dragonflight.

Death knight

Roles: Tank, Melee Physical/Magic Damage Dealer

The death knight combines martial prowess with dark, necromantic energies. Blood DKs are able tanks using disease DoTs, and AoE attacks to keep the attention of their enemies. Frost and Unholy death knights are melee dps classes, using unholy power to destroy their foes. Although death knights can raise undead minions, the Unholy specialization gives this feature particular focus, becoming a true pet class. Death Knights use a unique two-part resource system called the Rune system in which primary abilities are powered by Runes which periodically regenerate; using these abilities generates Runic Power which in turn can be used to power other abilities.

Death Knights are the first hero class and consequently start at level 8 in Ebon Hold in the Eastern Plaguelands. In order to create a Death Knight, a player needed to have at least one level 55 or higher character associated with his or her account, even if that character was on a different realm. However, that requirement has been removed in Warlords of Draenor.

Demon hunter

Roles: Melee Physical Damage Dealer, Tank

Demon hunters, disciples of Illidan Stormrage, uphold a dark legacy, one that frightens their allies and enemies alike. The Illidari embrace fel and chaotic magics—energies that have long threatened the world of Azeroth—believing them necessary to challenge the Burning Legion. Wielding the powers of demons they’ve slain, they develop demonic features that incite revulsion and dread in fellow elves.

Demon Hunters are the second hero class and starts at level 8 in Mardum, the Shattered Abyss. In order to create a Demon Hunter, a player needed to have at least one level 70 or higher character on the same realms as the Demon hunter is created on. However, that requirement has been removed in Shadowlands. The demon hunter is limited one per realm.

Druid

Roles: Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer, Melee Physical Damage Dealer, Tank, Healer

Druids are the most versatile hybrid class, using the power of shape-shifting to take different forms and perform different roles within their party. Guardian Druids transform into [Bear Form], becoming powerful tanks with high armor and use the Rage resource system similar to Warriors. Feral Druids transform into [Cat Form], becoming powerful sources of melee damage and use the Energy resource system similar to Rogues. Balance Druids transform into [Moonkin Form] to become strong offensive spellcasters relying on the powers of the sun and moon. Restoration Druids remain in humanoid form, channeling the renewing power of nature to the mend wounds of their allies. While each specialization focuses on a different form, all specializations are able to use Bear and Cat Form, and each gain the additional forms [Travel Form], [Aquatic Form] and [Flight Form] as they level up. Druids also have the ability to resurrect slain allies in battle with [Rebirth], restore mana of allies with [Innervate], strengthen their allies with [Mark of the Wild] and actually perform a different role in battle for a limited amount of time with [Heart of the Wild].

Evoker

Roles: Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer, Healer

Evokers are a hero class to be made available with Dragonflight that starts at level 58 in Forbidden Reach, available only to the dracthyr race.

Hunter

Roles: Ranged Physical Damage Dealer, Melee Physical Damage Dealer

Hunters use focus to deliver ranged weapon damage (bows, guns, and crossbows) as the primary source of damage. Hunters tame many varieties of beasts to serve as combat pets causing damage and giving raid buffs. Very adept at kiting, they have plenty of tools to allow them to avoid melee combat, which is a weakness. The Hunter’s array of scouting, tracking, and survival abilities along with mail armor make them excellent solo characters. Hunter talent specializations are Marksmanship, Beast Mastery, and Survival.

Mage

Roles: Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer

Mages are ranged magic damage dealers with very powerful direct and area effect damage spells. Mages feature a variety of utility spells, including crowd control ([Polymorph]), raid buff of mana and spell power, teleportation and group portals to capital cities, and ability to conjure food and water. Because of spells with good burst damage and snare abilities, they are often effective at PvP even with their relatively low armor and health. Mage talent trees are Fire, Frost, and Arcane, each specializing in different spells and abilities.

Monk

Roles: Melee Physical Damage Dealer, Tank, Healer

Monks have a unique combat system, combining energy or mana with the combo point-like chi, and a range of stances to define their current role. Students of ancient pandaren martial arts techniques, monks embody the skill, focus, meditativeness and deadly effectiveness of a skilled Kung Fu master, battering enemies with a flurry of punches or flying kicks, incapacitating enemies with an intimate knowledge of nerve centers and acupressure points, and using their inner calm and connection to the universe to heal and restore balance to their allies. A true hybrid class, monks can perform a melee DPS, tank or healing role, have a number of hybrid abilities that combine damage and healing, and also make use of stationary statues and a range of herbal brews to empower their abilities. Monks are a uniquely mobile class and are capable of generating Health and Chi Spheres, special objects which must be passed into in order to gain their benefits. This creates a mobile battlefield, with monks quickly rolling and soaring across the arena to restore health before leaping back into the fray. Brewmaster monks are unusual tanks, employing drunken brawling tactics to stagger incoming damage; Mistweaver monks are healers with a sideline in damage-dealing, channeling healing mists and often working within melee range; while Windwalker monks are the classic martial artists, melee DPS who eschew weapons to pummel foes with fist and foot.

Paladin

Roles: Melee Physical/Magic Damage Dealer, Tank, Healer

Paladins are plate-wearing holy knights. With the soul of a priest and the brawn of a warrior, paladins combine Holy magic with powerful weapons and stout armor. Like the knights of legend, paladins fight the good fight, smiting enemies with divine wrath and bringing allies back from the brink of death with the power of the Holy Light. A true hybrid class, paladins can fulfill any role, and can usually do a little of all three, thanks to their combination of damaging, healing and protective abilities. Paladins are especially well-known for their supreme survivability, with abilities like [Hand of Protection], [Divine Shield] and [Lay on Hands] enabling them to render a player all but invulnerable, or instantly heal them back up to full health just when defeat seems inevitable. Paladins are also well-known for their range of buffs and support spells and are arguably the strongest support class in the game. Paladins can grant a number of different hands and blessings to fit any occasion, and use a range seals to grant them specific benefits each time they attack. Paladins tend to combine self-heals with damage dealing, effortlessly maintaining their health bar while focusing on bringing their targets down. Paladins and execute their abilities through a combination of mana and Holy Power, a kind of combo point system which allows them to build to a powerful burst of healing or damage. Holy paladins are sturdy healers specializing in single-target healing and protection; Protection are indomitable tanks with strong AoE and multi-target abilities; while Retribution are punishing melee DPS, combining Holy magic attacks and warrior-like melee attacks to burst opponents down.

Priest

Roles: Healer, Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer

Devout followers of the Holy Light, priests are a cloth-wearing caster class. Traditionally masters of healing, the priest’s knowledge of the Light also grants them control of the darker powers of the Shadow. Discipline priests are powerful healers specializing in damage mitigation, using a range of powerful shields to magically protect their charges. Excelling at single-target healing, Discipline priests can keep a single target alive for a long time, and can also heal through dealing damage, using their attacks to take care of their allies’ needs during quiet periods or gaps in their rotation. Holy priests are the archetypal pure healer, using an extensive combination of direct heals, heal over time (HoT) effects, and AoE and multi-target heals to respond to any situation. Holy priests exchange the Discipline priest’s damage absorption effects for good old fashioned healing power, boasting sheer healing output which is hard to beat. Often compared to Affliction warlocks, Shadow priests focus on plague enemies with an assortment of sinister DoTs, while silencing and striking horror into the hearts of attackers. However, these masters of darkness can still provide a good amount of healing, adding to this class’s versatility. Priests are also known for their great dispelling capabilities, especially Discipline and Holy. Whether calling upon the powers of the Holy Light or spreading plague and death among the enemy, priests are cloth-wearing powerhouses who are underestimated at their opponent’s peril.

Rogue

Roles: Melee Physical Damage Dealer

Sinister masters of the night, rogues are a lightly-armored class which uses [Stealth], poisons and sharp blades to dispatch enemies without a sound. Focusing exclusively on DPS, the rogue represents a counterpoint to the warrior’s brash guts and glory approach to battle, preferring to strike from the shadows and [Vanish] without a sound, their only code of honor the contract on their target’s life. Valuing dexterity over muscle, rogues wear leather armor that leaves them free to move swiftly through the night and usually wield light weapons in each hand. Assassination rogues use poisons and finishing moves to deal bursts of damage to their targets; Subtlety rogues are dark stalkers, leaping from the shadows to ambush foes before slipping back into the night; while Combat rogues are the exception, cunning swashbucklers who use agility and dirty tricks to stand toe-to-toe with enemies. Rogues rely on their rapidly-regenerating pool of energy to deal damage, granting combo points to build toward devastating finishing moves. Rogues are one of the most infamous classes in PvP, capable of incapacitating opponents for extended periods with a variety of poisons, bleeds, stuns and other disabling effects, while they slice and dice their helpless target. Rogues have excellent access to [Stealth], able to sneak around undetected by enemies and pounce upon their prey with special opening attacks, and have a range of evasive abilities for escaping combat when the odds turn against them. Rogues can also pick pockets and pick locks. With the ability to incapacitate foes, high burst damage, many spell interrupts, and strong evasion abilities, rogues are formidable opponents.

Shaman

Roles: Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer, Melee Physical/Magic Damage Dealer, Healer

Shamans are spiritual leaders, masters of the elements, using spells and totems to heal and enhance raid members. These powerful practitioners commune with the ancestors and seek to balance the raging elemental forces, and can call upon them in battle to scorch and blast their enemies or to strengthen and heal their allies. Shamans can enhance their weapons with elemental effects, smite enemies with lightning strikes and bursts of lava, and summon powerful elementals to do their bidding. Shamans can also grant themselves and their allies powerful elemental boons, and call upon the ancestors to assist them, transforming into a [Ghost Wolf] or using [Reincarnation] to return from the dead. This versatile mail wearing class can fill the roles of caster, healer, and melee damage. Elemental shamans are powerful spellcasters, fulfilling a caster DPS role to blast and scorch enemies from afar; Enhancement shamans are melee damage dealers, smiting opponents with elementally-empowered weapons; while Restoration shamans are versatile healers well suited for any situation. Shamans provide excellent raid buffs through totems and abilities such as [Bloodlust], wreak havoc in PvP with their burst damage, and can provide wipe recovery for the group through [Reincarnation].

Warlock

Roles: Ranged Spell-Casting Damage Dealer

Enslaving demons and calling upon dark magic and curses to dominate and destroy their foes, warlocks are a cloth-wearing DPScaster class, known for their wide range of debuffs and damage over time effects. Locks are primarily ranged magic damage dealers and can employ a range of fully-controllable demons to tank, incapacitate and devour enemies, including the seductive succubus, the hulking voidwalker, the fireball-hurling Imp and the horrific Felhunter. Warlocks can also summon temporary demons like the mighty Infernal and Doomguard for powerful bursts of damage, and at higher levels can choose the [Grimoire of Supremacy] to make these demons permanent. Warlocks also have access to a range of debuffs and curses, as well as utility abilities such as Healthstones and Soulstones. Affliction warlocks are the masters of damage over time, draining their targets’ health with an array of powerful debuffs and DoTs; Demonology warlocks summon improved demons to do their bidding, drawing power from their minions and even transforming into demons themselves; while Destruction warlocks sear and incinerate enemies, specializing in potent burst damage and Fire spells.
