Finding fun things to do with your spare time can be difficult. One pastime that has captured the hearts and minds of young people for generations is video gaming. Despite what many people seem to think you do not need to have a supercomputer to be able to play and make friends online. While a reasonably good device is necessary for gaming adventures you can good ones up for next to nothing online, especially if you shop on the used market.
One game that is as popular today as it was when it was first released is WoW; here is a beginner’s guide to help you conquer it:
Loot Acquisition
Ask anybody who has ever played WoW before and they will tell you most people’s main intention in the game is to acquire and hoard as much loot as they can possibly get. The game’s developers have not made such efforts easy, however; it can take years of gameplay to accumulate wealth. You can take a shortcut and just pay for your loot from a third-party service though. You can hire WoW WotLK services or services catering to the standard edition. It should be noted there are a lot of scam services operating online so shop around and find the one that has received the most positive reviews.
An organisation’s reviews can help you to determine whether they are genuine or not. If it turns out a company has negative reviews despite making bold claims and promising certain things on their website then you should avoid doing business with them. One of the best things about the modern internet (and how popular it is) is that consumers nearly always leave reviews if they have bad experiences with a company. You can very easily tell if a loot service can be trusted by reading its reviews.
Game Edition
Anybody with previous experience in the game will know that there are many different expansion packs for it in addition to the standard edition. You do not necessarily need to buy one of these expansion backs in order to enjoy yourself or play online. However, having an expansion pack can unlock more content and make gameplay more enjoyable; to find an expansion pack right for you conduct research and read specific guides detailing the advantages and disadvantages of different packs.
Bear in mind that expansion packs cost a lot more than the standard game does. Also, they are not included in the initial cost so you have to buy the original game and then expansion packs. Unless you do this you will not be able to play online with your friends at all. Most of the expansion packs are very affordable and as some of them are quite old you can pick them up for next to nothing online; if you are on a budget then try to invest in an older expansion back if you are able to.
Selecting Class
In terms of actually getting started once you have purchased the game, the first thing you need to do is select a character class. There are lots of different character classes for you to choose from. Newer versions of the game have more interesting classes than older ones including Panderians and Worgens; it should be noted however, some people exclusively play Classic WoW. If you are somebody who’s interested in only playing the game’s classic version then you will not be able to use classes other than the most basic ones that were there during the very start, when the game was first released.
Different classes have different spawn points. In addition to classes you also need to choose your character’s attributes, i.e., do you want a magician, warrior, or hunter? Choosing your character’s attributes and skills will help you to further define who they are. Bear in mind some classes are better for specific attributes than others. There are an almost endless number of guides you can access and use online to determine whether or not you are making the right race, class, and attribute choices; you can also choose whether your character is male or female although gender has no bearing on the game itself just the way players look.
Pursuing Quests
A lot of people play the game purely to grief, troll and attack other players. Certain maps and areas of the game allow you to enter direct combat with other players whereas in other parts you are not able to. Safe zones are the best places to hang out if you are somebody without much gear, or unskilled in the game. Quests can be a good way of levelling up and making your character more powerful; when you have a more powerful character it will be easier for you to come up against other players and defeat them in battle.
Quests are also an effective way of unlocking unique loot. You can of course buy loot in the in-game market from other players but it is much better to get it yourself. If you do not have enough money to buy loot on the game’s marketplace and want to then you can hire a loot service as mentioned already; these organisations can help you to earn enough wealth to be able to comfortably play the game. Going back to quests, they are a fun way of spending your time. You can find comprehensive online guides explaining everything you need to know about specific quests online. Reading such materials can be an effective way of increasing your knowledge of how the game works and making progressing through quests easier.
Joining Guilds
Guilds are online cooperatives where players are able to communicate, share loot and make friends. Joining a guild can be an effective way of becoming more experienced in the game and learning new things. Many guilders hold meetings on a weekly basis. Such meetings are great places for you to network and meet new people. People in guilds also tend to play the game together, i.e., completing quests as teams or raiding dungeons. Dungeons can be a fantastic way of earning loot in the game but they are too tough to go it alone; you need other people’s support to effectively complete them.
You can usually only play video games if you have a console or an expensive computer. One game that makes gaming possible even on a budget is WoW or World of Warcraft. This game is downloadable for next to nothing and can be played on even extremely old, outdated computers; it does not take a lot of skill to master and it is very fun.
