I have explored World of Warcraft, an online role-playing game from Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. It is rated T for Teen because of:
Blood and Gore
Crude Humor
Mild Language
Suggestive Themes
Use of Alcohol
Violence
I kept a "travel journal" while playing, and took lots of screen shots. I have put this together in the following video, which I hope gives others a true sense of what the game is like. I conclude that it is excellent interactive storytelling, with great audio-visual aspects. It also has a large fan base, with guilds and other social opportunities. There are many, many storylines to choose from. The one I chose was "Mists of Pandaria" and it's plot description is as follows (from http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/the-story-of-warcraft/chapter23):
Mists of Pandaria
Released in September 2012 World of Warcraft Expansion Set
With Deathwing's menace ended, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream seized the opportunity to strike at the Alliance and expand the Horde's territory on Kalimdor. His assault completely obliterated the human city of Theramore, causing world-wide violence between the factions to erupt anew. A destructive naval skirmish left Alliance and Horde forces washed ashore on the fog-shrouded island of Pandaria, which had appeared in the open sea, defying modern maps and charts. As both warring factions established footholds on the resource-rich continent, they made contact with the noble pandaren, one of its most prolific peoples. This ancient race worked with the Alliance and Horde in the hopes of dispersing the Sha: dark, ephemeral beings roused from beneath Pandaria by the bloody conflict.
I hope you find my virtual travel journal informative:
