WORLD OF WARCRAFT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
World of Warcraft is the long-running MMO giant of Azeroth, built on questing, dungeons, raids, and the comfort of a world that always has another objective. Its visual style scales widely, but crowded hubs, large raids, and addon-heavy setups can still change performance a lot.
Even after so many years, WoW's power comes from how many different relationships players can have with it. For one person it is raids and rotations, for another it is transmog, professions, exploration, or just the comfort of returning to a familiar fantasy world that still feels populated and alive.
