The War Within is the latest expansion for World of Warcraft and playing solo has never been so easy. Blizzard has obviously recognized this and published a guide that explains how to best tackle the MMORPG World of Warcraft alone. MeinMMO has taken a closer look at the tips.
How well does solo gaming work?
These are Blizzard’s tips: The developers have published a post on the official blog with tips for solo gaming. There you will find information about the general functions of WoW as well as the new features in The War Within.

Blizzard’s Solo Guide – Good for beginners, but not efficient
If you’re completely new to WoW, Blizzard’s solo guide is pretty useful. The tips aren’t aimed at choosing the fastest and most efficient route, but rather at getting you more familiar with the game and its features.
The follower dungeons alone are ideal for this, as you can get to know your class and try out different roles without being put under any pressure. Since World of Warcraft has now become so complex that even MyMMO demon Cortyn needs add-ons, this kind of “taking by the hand” is definitely advisable.
