Before the advent of internet or computer for that matter, have you ever imagined how it is for our grandparents? We reckon research and studying were a lot harder.

Fate sometimes has a weird way of circling back on us. Take for example the superstar MMO World of Warcraft. It started out as a game. Then it was followed by three more full titles and three expansions. Today more than anything, it is more of a lore or universe in itself. It accepts new realities, follows different rules. Developer Blizzard is wise to compile and put down everything before it slips out of their hand or something is forgotten.

Warcraft Encyclopedia. An online collection that contains information about Factions, Immortals, Mortal Races, Languages, Vocations and the whole of Warcraft universe in general. It will be updated as needed probably quite a number of times in a year. Also, there would be a featured article every now and then. This development is indeed good news for fans of this massive, massive game. Veteran players may get sentimental reading about things they'd grown to love while newcomers will be briefed accordingly.
