It's an mmorpg(massively multiplayer online role playing game)

You buy it in stores.(the current release date is November 15)

It's an online game.

You make your own character(You can be in the alliance as a human, dwarf, gnome, or night elf or in the horde as an orc, troll, tauren, or undead)

Have you ever played the Legend of Zelda on N64? That's the kind of way you play.(As 1 character that can do many kinds of actions)

Go look at http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ for more info.(check the FAQ section)
