Videogaming is a relatively new industry with billions of dollars invested into it. The most prominent players are those who create the consoles and PCs to play the games upon. However more importantly are the gaming companies who create and sell the games for the different platforms. The biggest platform to date is the PC, and one of the biggest players is the company called Blizzard. The biggest potential for revenue and market is in the form of a game called an MMORPG, or massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

These games are massive in of themselves, sometimes housing thousands of players at once online in fierce battles across the globe. The in game territory can be hundreds of square miles and the land is teeming with animals and exotic plantlife. These types of games have the biggest potential for gameplay value, replay value, market, and revenue. The biggest MMORPG out currently is made by Blizzard.

WoW is one of the most successful games in history, having over 10,000,000 monthly subscribers, each paying about 12-15 dollars per month! Blizzard stands to make millions per month, but the server costs and maintenance take a huge chunk out of that revenue. Blizzard is able to get so many people to play for so long for a main reason that other companies have failed to emulate. Simple level grinding that is enjoyable to the average person.

This level grinding is essential to the enjoyment of a person who plays any MMORPG. If you cannot spend hours a day doing this leveling, the game will fail as it relies on people spending a lot of time invested in the game to make up for the fact it has a monthly subscription. Blizzard has taken steps to make this painstaking process as simple and easy a process for anyone to perform for hours on end. Some choose to use guides or hire services to level their characters for them in return for real money.

Leveling yourself is a daunting task, as you feel it will take forever to get to the higher levels, 60+. However with the newest patches wow has become a very easy game to level in, mentally speaking. There are a constant stream of relatively easy to do quests and tasks to perform that will give you experience and gold and sometimes rare items.

The two routes you may go when you decide you want some assistance in leveling involve either a guide or a service. While the service is the quickest and most sure way, it has the highest price tag. Guides however come at a relatively low price and while they do demand time, it is about the same amount of time as a service and you get the personal enjoyment of playing through the levels of the game. After all, it only takes a few weeks to get to 80, maybe one week if you are really good. Wow leveling guides were created to simplify the leveling process for the average newbie.

Of course you can always go the route of the hardcore player, playing endlessly for hours with no guide, but once you hit the higher levels you’ll realize what you were missing all this time.
