What are the computer requirements to playing World of Warcraft and how can i check my computer for them?

I need to know what my computer needs to run WoW and instructions on finding out if my computer meets those needs. I would also like to ask if there is a way to pay for World of Warcraft yearly instead of monthly and does WoW censors it's players' words. Thank you and all information would be greatly appreciated.

2) Checking your system requirements:

3) World of Warcraft payment:





You can pay every 6 months with credit/debit card. It is acutally cheaper that way - $77.94 lum sum pre-paid which is $12.99/month rather than $14.99.





Just remember, if you quit during your subscription, Blizzard will not reimburse you, they will let you play until your subscription expires.





4) Censoring:


Yes and no. You have the option. Hit "Esc" when you get into the game and go to "Interface Options". In the first column on the left side there is a "Profanity Filter". Check it if you don't want to see the swearing.





^^ Happy Gaming ~.O
