If you’re reading these words I am fairly positive that you know what World of Warcraft is. If not, here’s a quick blurb, look for the dots if you want to skip the geekery…

It’s an role playing game set in a world that has its residents polarized into the two factions of Horde and Alliance. What sets this apart from other RPGs is the fact that it’s played exclusively online and is populated by players that you can interact with, duel with, chat with, laugh with, dance with, loot with, guild with, along with other random buffoonery mixed in for good measure.

….Welcome back, so yea I’ve felt the need to attempt playing WoW for the first time. In the past I’ve dabbled but never got a character past maybe level 20 within the game. I’m currently playing a Gnome Rogue with Mining and Engineering as my professions.

So far it seems interesting enough. It has the same set up as many RPGs I’ve played over the years have used.

-Step 1 Get Quest

-Step 2 Complete Quest

-Step3 Rinse and Repeat.

The fact you get to at least share some of the monotony with other people is a definite plus in its favor. There’s something satisfying when you coordinate an attack on a particularly hard monster and take him down or the even more satisfying impromtu dance parties that occur soon after. It’s like a fantasy themed chat room that also lets you walk around killing shit until you get some free stuff.

Current WoW Mood: Meh I’m right clicking copper on a hillside so I can click another button to make copper bars soon after…yea it’s even worse than it sounds. I need me a WoW suga mama to fund my lust for sexy gnomish rogue clothes.
