level gained, new skills will be accessible. To train them, seek your class trainer. Normally, they aren't far away from the other non-player characters (npcs).

Once you are familiar with the controls and have spent quite a while in game, you will hit level ten and be ready to venture further out into the world. Also, when you hit level ten, you will find you've gained a talent point and can access the menu. This is where the character customisation part comes in to make your character unique from others of the same class. You gain one talent point from each level up, after level ten.

Gameplay:

WoW is the game that has influenced a lot of the latest games released in the genre and as such, there's good reason. None of the enemies require great equipment to defeat if you're not grouping and thus, people can easily venture where they want to without fear, within reason.

This leads to players forming groups to venture into dungeons where elite mobs live to get the best items. They are tougher than normal mobs. Alongside the elites, there are bosses who when killed, will drop items of blue quality. This is the tier between green and purple items. If a party does not know the bosses of an instance, then they can be fun to work out and challenging. They get more complex as you level. The dungeons (known as instances) are private affairs for a group though if a character is a higher level than the mobs within, they can solo it. It can be pretty fun to do so.
