Yes, someone with no experience in MMOs can play World of Warcraft (WoW) Classic4. WoW Classic is similar to other MMORPGs; new players will find that quest givers have exclamation points above their heads and send players to collect items or defeat enemies4. Both actions yield experience, which helps players level up4.
Tips for new players:
Both the retail and classic versions of WoW offer tutorials to familiarize players with the game's basic aspects2. In WoW Classic, hint notifications describe game mechanics and icon functions2.
Players control a character avatar within the game world from a first- or third-person perspective6. They explore the landscape, fight monsters, complete quests, and interact with NPCs and other players6.
To enter the game, players must select a server, or "realm"6. Each realm is an individual copy of the game world6.
Joining a guild is important because they function as communities where players can socialize, collaborate, and play together7.
Knowledge is very important in WoW5. Learning how to play a class and perform rotations can be done quickly using guides and resources5.
