8. Azeroth - The World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft (WoW) is the most well known and successful MMORPG of all time. It revolutionised the genre and to this day has amassed an astonishing $9.23 billion, becoming one of the highest-grossing video game franchises ever. So it is safe to say that the land is a rather popular fantasy world.

Azeroth is a hostile place bred of an invasion from The Old Gods. They were subsequently entombed within the world by The Pantheon, a group of titans who watched over the universe. The sense of scale that this world's origin brings commits to proving how large and dramatic the planet is. The feeling of vastness never leaves the player.

Exploring takes you to many varieties of location, all of which make Azeroth feel like a living breathing existence. No matter where you go, be it Frostfire Ridge, Ashenvale or any of the other countless locales, there is something to see, which is a testament to the depth of this fictional fantasy landscape.

The land that hosts the Alliance and the Horde will go down in history as one of the most densely populated fantasy worlds in existence, boasting an account number of over one hundred million.
