World of Warcraft, or WoW, is one of the most successful massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) in the world. Characters wishing to communicate with one another may do so through chat windows, in-game letters and emotion commands. The array of emotions characters can express in the game is extensive. A full list of "emotes" and how to perform them while playing WoW is available at the game's official website. - In WoW you can express happiness a number of ways. You can express amazement, awe, congratulations, cheering, chuckling, basic happiness, laughter, praise, smirking and, of course, victory while your character is in game. Your character's actions with each command will vary based on your target for the emotion or if you wish to express it to the general population. For example, by expressing "awe" to everyone in your party, your character will appear to stare around the room, whereas if you target a specific character your expression will focus only on him.
- Characters in WoW have no shortage of ways to express feelings of sadness or disappointment. Players can direct characters to express the onset of a headache, cry uncontrollably, mourn the dead, pout at everyone or a specific target, hang their heads in shame, scold themselves and even whine. Some of these emotions will only be voiced by your character, while others are accompanied by actions such as arm movements and facial expressions.
- Characters who run into problem party members or have disagreements with friends have several ways to express anger. You can direct your character to raise her fist in anger, blame another character for her actions, threaten everyone, glower at all present, glare angrily, frown, hiss menacingly and taunt. To settle disagreements, characters can select cajoling "emotes" such as offering a truce or remaining calm.
- Players can express a range of emotions dealing with love and affection in WoW. You can blow a kiss to another player, express your love, cuddle or even perform a sexy strut. Characters also have options to express a palate of emotions that indicate nervousness or anxiety such as fidgeting, having a bad feeling, basic nervousness and anxious laughter.
