New Player Starting Adventure – Exile’s Reach

Who Will You Become?

Be the hero you want to be. Will you fight as a hulking Tauren Warrior? Or perhaps an inventive Gnome Warlock? The choice is yours—but first, you must pick a side.

Fellowship forged in epic adventure

Through your adventures, you’ll meet others who make Azeroth their home. WoW houses many communities who forge long-lasting bonds of friendship. Whether it’s with a trusted partner at your side, your crew at your back, or a rival in front of you, the spirit of the game brings people together. It’s more than a game… it’s a lifestyle. Join us!
