World of warcraft

I know it's some sorta stratigy game, but really, what is it? Is it just like an online fantasy simulation where you build your char and collect good from other people? It is a war type game? Game informer mag does reviews on it all the time, but every time I fail to get the whole point of the game. I'm not bashing it, just courious as alot of people play it -- alot.

I'm looking for the basics of what you would do if you were playing it... no web links please i've already looked at alot.. I must be over looking something
