"Look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes..."
Continued...
As if all that's not enough to keep you hooked, there's player vs. player combat (PvP) - the art of killing the opposing faction's players for honour points, which can be traded for even more shiny new equipment and armour.
You can either attack enemy players in the main game world, or enter battlegrounds or arenas for multiplayer PvP action at any time you choose.
Another thing about WoW that makes it so compelling is the need to collaborate.
"You could also join an in-game guild of like-minded players. And who knows, romance may beckon..."
You may get more experience per enemy by completing quests alone, but if you team up with other players you'll burn through the quests much more easily.
And instances - special dungeon areas - can only be beaten in a group, as they're full of higher-level monsters (from which you can reap better rewards).
Play nicely and you'll get invited back by the same groups again. You could also join an in-game guild of like-minded players. And who knows, romance may beckon...
