It brings us all level together and the positive social atmosphere is what makes this so popular. My girl and I been playing WoW since its release and have been glued to it ever since.

A simple proof: in the books you can often read information about the cities like Stormwind. Also about the population. Stormwind has according to the lore 1000s of citizen. It is just impossible to create a world from books and stories in a computer game with the current technologies. That is quiet understandable, but this is also a bit disappointing to me. When im walking around in places I read about (like the ruins or Lordaeron, ruins of Stromgarde etc), I want to see how it actually looks today in the storyline. I want to imagine how big the kingdom of Stromgarde was, but in wow all you see is a farm and the ruins of the capital. This pretty much destroys the fun. I always wondered how Stromgarde would look like after it's destruction. I know you can fill in the blanks with your own imagination, but the major problem is: there are way too many blanks to fill in. I hope Blizzard knows this, and I hope the technological limitation is the only limitation, and the only reason why they made so many blanks. I hope to eventually see how all these places look like in the lore in a future game (or movie?). I dont blaim Blizzard for it, but im a bit disappointed they made out so many blanks and left out so much lore. But I understand it. It still doesnt ruin the overal fun I have when I play wow, because the rest is done very fantasticly. Overall, WoW is still a great game, and a great RPG, but the lore is so amazing, it needs more than a bit imagination to completely visualise it. I hope you understand what I mean. Nice article!
