This allows players an extra chance to catch up with their friends who may have been playing in the interim. A player's avatar, when at rest, accumulates points that encourage players to return and do not penalize them for taking time off. WoW is best known for features that differentiate it from other MMORPGs, such as encouragements for players who cannot commit excessive amounts of time to the game. Developers endeavored to ensure that all details from previous games remained consistant, and although similar to other MMORPGs in the basic style of gameplay, critics praised WoW for its meticulous design, excellent sound, and high quality graphics. Set in the same universe as its predecessors, WoW became a phenomenal success despite its new style of gameplay. Developers went in a new direction with the fourth Warcraft game, known as World of Warcraft (WoW), by making it a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
