Abstract: In this thesis I define the term Story-Plus within the context of the popular video game World of Warcraft. The massively multiplayer online role playing game World of Warcraft has a magnificent story worthy of study, and I believe that the experience available within the game is that of a return to communal story telling through first person experience in a shared and persisting environment. By comparing the game to storytelling structures such as Meta-Plot and through examining the player character’s personal narrative in the game world, I explain how World of Warcraft offers a Story-Plus experience.
