Topic: Warcraft Universe

	Jeff's Games Page
		Warcraft was originally produced in 1994 by Blizzard Entertainment and since then has been one of my favorite games.
		The Warcraft universe is set upon the magical world of Azeroth that now has thousands of years of history as the story lines between the other Warcraft games begin to mingle.
		Warcraft II also supported better graphics then the original as well as better gameplay, allowing you to group 9 units together as opposed to the 4 from the first game.

		And, in typical Blizzard fashion, Warcraft III pulls you right in as its opening cinematic revives the classic orcs versus humans confrontation the series is based on.
		The silence of the land is shattered with the rumbling of thousands of orcish and human footfalls rushing to battle as fiery meteors crash to earth.
		Warcraft III borrows a bit from Starcraft's story formula in that the campaign of each race takes the story to a new level.

	Warcraft Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Warcraft Universe is the fictional universe in which the Warcraft series of computer games, novels and announced movie are set.

	WoW -> Info -> Story -> Chapter 1
		Though the exact origins of the chaotic universe remain uncertain, it is clear that a race of powerful beings arose to bring stability to the various worlds and ensure a safe future for the beings that would follow in their footsteps.
		The Nether, an ethereal dimension of chaotic magics that connected the myriad worlds of the universe, was home to an infinite number of malefic, demonic beings who sought only to destroy life and devour the energies of the living universe.
		The Legion was comprised of a million screaming demons, all ripped from the far corners of the universe, and the demons hungered for conquest.

		A fifth playable race, the Burning Legion, was changed during play-testing to a set of non-player characters and monsters (with a playable "cameo" on the last level of the Undead campaign, as Kel'Thuzad summons Archimonde).
		Warcraft III proved to be one of the most anticipated and popular video game releases ever, with 4.5 million units pre-ordered and over 1 million additional units sold during its first two weeks.
		The Warcraft III Night Elves, for instance, resemble the Terrans in that their buildings can move and their base fighting unit has a missile attack, but like the Zerg, their worker units are consumed when they create most buildings.

	World of Warcraft Preview - PC News at GameSpot
		Blizzard's Warcraft fantasy universe was first seen in the 1994 game, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and was made famous worldwide by its sequel, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, about a year later.
		Warcraft's fantasy world is instantly accessible: Determined human warriors can be found defending their country to the death against green-skinned, ferocious orc tribes.
		But whereas the Warcraft series has traditionally put you in the role of commander, merely overseeing the innumerable battles fought between these two races, World of Warcraft will be different.

		World of Warcraft is the first massively multiplayer, online role-playing game (MMORPG) that Blizzard has developed, but their previous titles will have prepared them well for this rapidly expanding genre.

		During Warcraft III (yet to be released), all the major factions have lost many forces and as we join them they are only just starting to rebuild their ravaged world of Azeroth.

	IGN: World of Warcraft Preview
		While the rumors of a MMORPG based in the Warcraft universe had been jumping around the Internet for a few days, nobody was truly sure what game Blizzard was going to announce until the press conference at this year's European Computer Trade Show.
		World of Warcraft will take place roughly four years after the end of Warcraft III, which we have yet to see since that game is still at least six months away.
		World of Warcraft will be pure action-RPG, and while it will stay true to the look of Warcraft, it will bear little resemblance to the rest of the Warcraft series in terms of gameplay.
