The game was announced in 2001, and was released for the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise on November 23, 2004. Set in the Warcraft fantasy universe, World of Warcraft takes place within the world of Azeroth, approximately four years after the events of the previous game in the series, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. World of Warcraft ( WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. Please add any available information to this section.Massively multiplayer online role-playing Since the Elemental Lord Al'Akir was fought by the titan-forged in his lair among the highest peaks of Azeroth, this means the highest point in Kalimdor (at least before the ordering of Azeroth) was located in Al'Akir's domain to the southwest, near the ocean, between what would become Uldum and Pandaria. Nearly eighty percent of Kalimdor's landmass had been blasted apart, leaving only a new, raging sea, and the Maelstrom - an eternal storm of chaotic energies at its center, surrounding a handful of major new continents and scattered islands: the Eastern Kingdoms, the Broken Isles, Pandaria, Northrend, the Dragon Isles, the remnant still referred to as Kalimdor, and many other smaller islands. As the aftershocks from the implosion rattled the bones of the world, the seas rushed in to fill the gaping wounds left in the earth. ![]() The resultant catastrophic explosion shattered the earth and blotted out the skies. The massive explosion sent massive quakes ripping through the tortured earth and the surging Well of Eternity buckled in upon itself and collapsed. The Great Sunderingġ0,000 years ago, while the War of the Ancients was raging on, Sargeras' failed entrance through the Well of Eternity caused the unstable portal within the Well's depths to explode and ignite a catastrophic chain of events known as the Great Sundering. With time, that landmass became home to a number of disparate races and creatures, all vying for survival amongst the savage elements of the waking world. It is from these magically nurtured places - the Un'goro Crater, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Sholazar Basin - that the Wild Gods would eventually emerge. The waters of the Well of Eternity would coalesce in a select few places and create gigantic enclaves of life that Keeper Freya would take care of. As twilight fell on the final day of their labors, the Titans named the continent Kalimdor: "land of eternal starlight" in their language. Over time, plants, trees, monsters, and creatures of every kind began to thrive on the primordial continent. Its potent energies would nurture the bones of the world and nourish life to take root in the land's rich soil. ![]() The lake, which they named the Well of Eternity, was to be the fount of life for the world. The Keepers closed the wound in the form of a massive lake of scintillating energies. At the continent's center, where Y'Shaarj had settled, an immense hole was torn as Aman'thul ripped Y'Shaarj from the planet's crust, and from which tremendous amounts of arcane energy - the very lifeblood of the world-soul - now seeped. Ordering AzerothĪfter battling and imprisoning the Old Gods, the titanic Keepers set out to repair the damage Y'Shaarj's death had caused.
