World of Warcraft is the first MMOG in the (so far) four part Warcraft series, with previous Warcraft titles being RTS games. Like most MMOs, players may find adventure in fighting various monsters and in performing missions offered by numerous NPCs throughout Azeroth. In World of Warcraft, success in these endeavors yields rewards in the form of world of warcraft gold, items and experience.

How are new players supposed to catch up with current players? The original game has a level cap of 60, now the expansion has raised that number to 70, and the planned expansion increases it further to level 80. With such a wide gap, this could turn some new players off from wanting to join WOW. At this point, with so many games on the horizon, why would somebody join WOW now? Too many potential new players have the thought: “Why should I join world of Warcraft, when I can just wait for [insert game here}. It’s time that people just don’t want to invest into a game three years later.

At level 40, players are able to purchase a mount with wow gold based on their character's race and reputation which can be summoned at will. These are expensive to purchase and train, but add to the player’s status and significantly increase their speed of travel. Unfortunately, players may not engage in combat while on a mount. The level cap in World of Warcraft is 60, with rewards for successful raids at this level being in the form of rare loot.

What keeps players interested in playing WoW and what draws new players to a game where so many people have already reached max level?
