What is the difference between World of Warcraft and Warcraft?

I think World of Warcraft is a online game but Warcraft is a one player game. Is it true?

1. world of warcraft is basically all players in one while warcraft is just a common computer game.

2. the difference is one says World of and the other dosent

3. same basic plot line runs through both. you will find a lot of stuff from the first warcraft games in world of warcraft. but yes, the basic differance is that World of Warcraft is online, and Warcraft isnt

4. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, so you play online with a ton of other people.

Warcraft is more of a real time strategy game, like Civilization or Command and Conquer.

They share the same "world" so you'll recognize some races, characters, and lore.

5. World of Warcraft is a MMORPG, Massively Mutiple Online Role Playing Game. Warcraft is a RTS, Real Time Strategy game. World of Warcraft uses the lore, stories, characters and items that are found in all thre Warcraft games and its expansions. A MMORPG is a game where, in this case 11million people play online on different servers all over the world interacting with each other. They create their own charcaters and control him/her how they feel. An RTS is a game where someone controls large groups of units/armies and try to achieve specific goals. To save space, I would recommend you go to the website and you can learn a lot more about World of Warcraft. It's a lot of fun in my opinon.

6. World of Warcraft i a mmorpg game that is connected with the whole world. In World of Warcraft instead of making army like in warcraft, u make ur own charcter and level him up and get better equipment.

In warcraft you have to make ur army and strategize how to destroy your enemies land. Warcraft is also connected with the whole world.Unlike World of warcraft u cannot create ur own charcter and travel to diffrent lands and kill monsters with ur friends in a party.

7. World of Warcraft is an online role playing game. It has you controlling one character at a time, and you focus on making that character better over a long span of time. You also work with other real players to achieve goals, and make your character better.

“Regular” Warcraft is an RTS which stands for “real time strategy.” For this, you command a group of units, or even a small army.
Warcraft III had/has a large online following (but it can be played alone too, for storyline mode), but it’s not where you use the same character over and over trying to improve him/her. It’s more like you start with a small group and build a brand new army, then use that army to defeat your online enemies. The entire battle lasts for a few hours.

The story line is the same for both, but at different times. For example, the chronology is Warcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, then World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft starts a few years (4, I think) after Warcraft III ended.


8. they are both able to be multiplayer but WoW is more geared toward many players than a group of 8 or so people.

9. WoW you have to pay and its like one long game
Warcraft is free and you play seperate games

10. WoW has more players
