There is no doubt about it that World of Warcraft has become so much more than just a game. For over 11 million people, it’s part of their culture. Many MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online) games have tried to reach the same dizzying heights from other fantasy RPGs (Role Playing Games) such as Warhammer Online to space-shooters including Star Wars Galaxies and Tabula Rasa. None have prevailed so far.

Now, World of Warcraft goes beyond its virtual home of Azeroth invading the world of the real with a brand new official magazine commissioned by Blizzard. Published by Future Publishing, the quarterly magazine is entirely dedicated to the game and the fantastical setting that changed the world.

With each issue containing around 148 pages jam packed with details surrounding the history of the game, Azeroth lore, artwork from real Blizzard artists and tactics for each of the game’s many classes, this new printed text is definitely going to be popular with fans. Even better news, there are absolutely no advertisements! If you’re still not convinced, there is a free 40 page preview of the very first issue to be read.

The magazine won’t be showing up on newsstands, so a subscription is the best way to get your hands on every issue of World of Warcraft: Official Magazine. You can subscribe by visiting the magazine’s official website. It costs £29.95 for four issues, £52.50 for eight.
