Why is World of Warcraft so popular?

Answer 1

It's a very large world with new things and places being added all the time; just walking from the tip of one continent (there are 3) to the most southern point can take up to 45 minutes on foot. From the Western coast to eh Eastern coast can take 30 minutes. That doesn't include creatures and resources you might find on the way.

It is also very easy to play to a so-so level; very good players spend a lot of time learning and honing their skills: a good healer is dang hard to find. :) A regular person playing an hour a day for 2 months can become the highest level but not very powerful in terms of gear. At the upper levels good gear can make or break a group you are in. The harder the mob (opponent) the better the drop (material gotten from them) but it may take 5 people to kill XXX but he only drops a sword or a shield: you have to just bide your time and do the instance again to get what you want.

It CAN be very social if you and friends are playing together or if you join a group of people called a guild. All in all it's a neat experience. it's even worth the mini icons. you do stuff so eay with it. you could even get support and help from the world of warcraft support line at the blizzard company.

Answer 2

It soon will. Kids ranging from Kindergarten to Seventh grade like pokemon. Not all might I add. Pokemon became famous with its original concept and plot base. Kids loved them in the 90s and today. As the show continues kids that are still young and don't know that well become accustomed to it really quickly. Pokemon has been running since maybe 1995 or 1996. Over ten years maybe a sign that it will top when it finishes its final saga which should be completed in maybe one year or two. Or it might make history and continue for a couple more decades but I don't completely agree with that conjecture since the directors and producers are getting old. Hope I helped at least a bit!
