MMORPG set in the Warcraft universe. At release four years had passed since the Battle of Mount Hyjal. The first expansion, The Burning Crusade, took us to the former orc homeworld of Draenor, now torn apart by fel magic and called Outland. The second expansion, Wrath of the Lich-King, sent us back to Azeroth to deal with the threat of Arthas and the Scourge in Northrend. The third expansion, Cataclysm, saw Azeroth remade by the fallen Dragon Aspect Deathwing. The fourth expansion, Mists of Pandaria, brings the heroes of Azeroth to the aptly-named continent of Pandaria.
