I'm sure, however that most of you might have even finished the strategy game and might want something more advanced, which is where the online game comes in.... The World of Warcraft, or WOW as it is mostly referred to.
For those of you who are completely new to the online aspect, you can create a profile for free at....
https://us.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/
GETTING STARTED:
Once you've created your Battle.net profile & you download the widget (shortcut for the launcher) start up the launcher and let it download the game components. Once that's done, start the game (click PLAY), log in- , Choose what type of gaming profile you would like to have, from among Normal, PVP, PVE etc... [Will inform you on this in the next post]. Then Choose your Realm.
[ Note: If you want to play with your friends and interact with them, make sure you are all on the same realm- There are many realms, categorized into American, South American, Oceanic etc. Under each category are various realms, so choose according to what realms your friends are playing on... For instance I play mostly on the American Realm of RAVENCREST]
Once you've chosen your realm, choose your faction- ALLIANCE or HORDE [ Those who play the strategy game & then go on to play the online version will have a better idea of this, which is why I would advise anyone to play the strategy game first]
Choose your gender, then Your Race, from among 13 different races, including the newest race Pandaren.... The other 12 being....
Alliance:
Human; Dwarf; Gnome; Night Elf; Draenei; Worgen (fairly new)
Horde:
Orc; Blood Elf; Tauren; Troll; Undead; Goblin (as new as Worgen)
Having chosen your Race choose your class.. For more info on that you can check:

Onnce you've been through all that, design your character's individual features and you're ready to 'ENTER WORLD'.
Hope this was helpful, have fun.
