It feels epic and important, and Azeroth reflects the changes you make - and these are permanent. Quests lead you through the stories of the expansions through the different zones, and virtually every one involves a prominent figure from Warcraft’s past - and your past, if you’ve been playing WOW for a while. As an Alliance player, it’s another opportunity to battle your hated enemies. He saves his father from death and unites the tribes on a mission of domination.Īs a player in the Horde faction, you work with the Orcs who have turned Garrosh down, along with other neutral factions, to put an end to his Iron Horde invasion.
