“World of Warcraft” will be part of an upcoming exhibit in a computer history museum in California. The exhibit will feature Blizzard’s MMO games and will be based on different kinds of software that have changed the world. It will be open to the public on Jan. 28.

The computer history museum has confirmed that Blizzard’s “WoW” will be the only video game that will be showcased. The reason for this is that the “World of Warcraft” is considered as the ancestor of all multiplayer online role-playing games. After it was released in 2004, other online role-playing games have followed the same game play as “WoW” and inherited some of its game elements.

According to Computer History, “World of Warcraft” is the most successful MMORPG especially after it helped increase the profit and market value of Blizzard Entertainment. Computer History also added that gaming has been a huge part of computing, which has pushed many of its technical developments forward. "MMORPGs are a major commercial venture, of which World of Warcraft is the most successful, and take up massive amounts of time for a large number of people."

The main mission of the exhibit is to explore the different origins and the global impact of seven game-changing applications. It will focus on those that have made a huge impact on a person's daily life.

Those that will be viewing the different exhibits will be taught by the creators about what their technology is about. The audience will also learn about how users and their lives were impacted by the release of different software. They will also be informed about why the Change the World exhibit was made.

The Change the World exhibit will also feature some of the multimedia and interactive displays on technology. Some of those that will be featured are Photoshop, some information about car crash simulations and Wikipedia. Other multimedia facts about MP3s and texting might also be explained and presented during the exhibit.
