# World Of Warcraft
World of Warcraft (WoW) is an AAA [proprietary](proprietary.md) [game](game.md) released in [2004](2004.md) by [Blizzard](blizzard.md) that was one of the most successful and influencing games among [MMORPGs](mmorpg.md). It's the mainstream kind of MMO, considered pretty easy (compare e.g. to Eve Online).
World of Warcraft (WoW) is an [AAA](aaa.md) [proprietary](proprietary.md) [game](game.md) released in [2004](2004.md) by [Blizzard](blizzard.md) that was one of the most successful and influential games among [MMORPGs](mmorpg.md). It's the mainstream kind of fantasy MMO, considered pretty easy to learn and play (compared e.g. to Eve Online). It's a successor to Warcraft III, which was a real time strategy. World of Warcraft had -- in its beginning -- one of the best aesthetics of all games in history, however later on it adopted more "modern" aesthetic and ruined everything of course.
It seems the game is written in [C++](cpp.md) and in 2009 had something like 5.5 million [lines of code](loc.md) (see also [bloat](bloat.md)).
There is a [FOSS](foss.md) implementation of WoW server called [MaNGOS](mangos.md) (now having some [forks](fork.md)) that's used to make private servers. The client is of course proprietary and if you dare make a popular server Blizzard (or whatever it's called now, it's probably merged with [Micro$oft](microfost.md) or something now) will just rape you.
