"World of Warcraft" launched in 2004 and was developed by Irvine, California-based Blizzard Entertainment. It's one of the most popular online multiplayer games in the world, with more than 6.8 million subscribers. “Warlords of Draenor” reached the PC and Mac on Thursday. The game allows players to level up to 100 from the previous cap of 90, and includes new raids and dungeons.
