Blizzard has posted an "Introduction to World of Warcraft" article on its homepage to help new players get accustomed to the massive multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) genre. The article includes links to an extensive FAQ, pictures and movies from the game and highlights differences between WoW and other MMORPGs.

From the Introduction piece:

What does World of Warcraft have to offer?

Unlike other MMORPGs, World of Warcraft allows players to play the game at their own pace, whether it be a few hours here and there or entire weeks at a time. The quest system also provides an enormous variety of captivating quests with story elements, dynamic events, and flexible reward systems. World of Warcraft also features a faster style of play, with less downtime and an emphasis on combat and tactics against multiple opponents.
