Abstract
This study analyzed a total of 1,025 quests in the 'Warlords of Draenor' which is the fifth expansion set to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, by dividing them into violent and nonviolent quests. There was a total of 515 nonviolent quests which can be categorized into 46 types and a total of 510 violent quests that can be categorized into 7 types. The balance between violent and nonviolent quests shows that the game makers limited the number of adverse factors that can cause the players to be excessively absorbed in the game while successfully incorporating factors that can have positive effect on game players.
