What is the game World of Warcraft at stores?

I wanted to buy a World of Warcraft game at WalMart, but I don't know if you have to subscribe or if you need Internet to play or what. I used to play this Warcraft game where you don't need to go online to play or anything. You go to be a night elf, ork, human, or undead. You could build farms and stuff and then go kill your enemies or go with allies. Is that one at the store the same one? Thanks.

1. World of Warcraft is NOT the same as the game you played before. The game you played before is Warcraft III
You do need the internet and you have to subscribe ($15 a month) to play WoW.
It is not the same as Warcraft III, you are 1 character going around doing quests. It's a MMORPG(online role playing game), while Warcraft III is a RTS (real time strategy)

World of Warcraft is branched from Warcraft. But it's like your taking one of the characters (like the undead, orc, etc) and just playing that character. It's a pretty good game if you dont mind paying monthly.

2. same characters, same places, differant concept entirely

World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, or mass multiplayer online role playing game. you create your character, and do quests, run instances, level the character, their professions, interact with other players, all sorts of stuff. so its on line, and yes, you have to subscribe to it. its $15 a month to play.

in my opinion its totally worth it. my fiance and i both play and that $30 a month for two subscriptions is cheaper than one night out at a bar or a resturant or something.

its a really cool game with LOADS of stuff to do, there is something new to try every time you play pretty much. its awsome

and i KNOW someone is going to say "dont play it it is addictive and it ruins your social life". it does not. it absolutly does not. the people who get addicted are the ones who have personalities that are easily addicted to things. they ruined their own lives playing it, WoW didnt ruin it for them. if they hadnt gotten addicted to WoW they would have just gotten addicted to something else instead

3. um

4. Yeah. And you need a broadband connection to play it.
