World of Warcraft

Additional pictures on playing World of Warcraft


















**Pictures above are additional images of my avatar playing World of Warcraft!

Pictures below is an explanation on what I have done!


Scene 16: Completing some quests and killing creeps allowed me to level up to 5. It took about three hours to explore tips and complete quests to reach level 5. It was fun to communicate people from anywhere in the World in this digital world. Playing World of Warcraft was an exciting opportunity.



Scene 15: While I was fighting to complete my quest, I was killed by creeps. In order to kill a creep that gives a lot of experience point, I had to get a better equipment or just be a group with other people. This scene shows the afterdeath of avatar. However, I could have revived as many times as I wanted.


Scene 14: Communicating with other people. Since I'm not the only one who is playing, all of us had to have online "etiquette".

Scene 13: The graphic was excellent. This is the close view of my character.

Scene 12: I met friend while playing this game. This box on the left shows the current status of my item and other informations like health and level.

Scene 11: The map was so massive that it provided various environments for the players. In this scene I'm swimming. My inventory is up and tutorial about how to swim is up. It was good to have a tip box on, because someone like me who have not played this game before can learn the game through experiences.


Scene 10: Another fighting scene. I have leveled up at this point and was easier to kill the creep. It was like the main point of this game: if you get experinece, you level up and get stronger.

Scene 9: I had to often come back and forth between the twon and the place where I had to level up. Although it took a little time, reading the quest and completeing it with other people was fun! I also had to sell or buy items to become stronger.

Scene 8: This scene shows about the calender in Wow. It shows the up-coming events in the game provided by the Blizzard Entertainment. It was fun to notice that the game includes merely everything and feels like I'm living in the fantasy world as an avatar.

Scene 7: Trading was another type of communication that was important in this game. As you gain items from killing creeps, you could either use it or sell it to the other people or the rogue to obtain money and other certain necessities. As I gained more money, I could buy a better equipment than I originally had.
Scene 6: killing the monsters for gaining experience and completing the quest. Fighting scene was the most exciting part of the game. AS I GET STRONGER, IT WAS EASIER TO KILL CREEPS AND MADE ME FEEL PROUD. It still had to take a long time.

Scene 5: I could talk to people. Communication is the key in this game, as people in the game are playing together for the same goal.

Scene 4: the World Map on the top right shows where I am and it was good for a first time playing person like me, because I was not familiar with a massive map.

Scene 3: When I right click on the NPC or the rogue from Wow itself, a new task was given to be completed. It showed where I have to go in the map and what I have to kill in order to complete the quest.

Scene #2: This is the view where the avatar starts. I chose the night elf hunter, because it looked strong and stealth. When I logged in, there were a number of people playing all together. I had a chance to talk with them and learn about World of Warcraft.

Scene #1: First thing is to creat an account and choose a new character. Different shape of avatar could be produced by selecting each hair, body and face shapes. It was fun to explore these options as it will show the avatar for the whole game.

This time I explored the massive online game, World of Warcraft, where a number of peopel around the world palys the same game in many servers. The system will automatically save what I have done throughout the game. It was important to actually communicate with people and complete the quest for a goal; a goal to gain experience and be grown up.
