WoW

Yes, if you haven’t figured it out by now one of my favorite online games is World of Warcraft. But not for the reasons you may think, nor am I addicted.

When you first start out in WoW, as its called by its rabidly loyal fan base (probably should write another post on that…), you begin at level one. Currently the maximum level you can reach is 80. You start out with quests which range from anything to having to hunt down and kill a thief to finding a stupid chicken that is running away from you while little fishies jump out of the water and bite you. The quests get harder and harder as time goes on, but at this point you are starting to catch on with the technicalities in how to do certain things. You are gradually leveling up, yet haven’t met anyone. Don’t worry, some of the quests become so hard that you cannot finish them without a guild or calling on friends you run across in game. Just like life eh?

Well, that’s not even the end of it. You’ve officially just started. Soon you may join a guild, think of your friend group in real life, befriend someone and become good friends, and start venturing into other things. Now you are starting out with responsibilities. Guild rules, friends, quests, better gear, and so the list starts to grow. Just like real life eh? (PS, the guys who built this game were pure geniuses are they not?)

I think it is. People are getting picky about what they comment on lately. Or so I've seen in my travels around the blogophere. If you don't relate to whatever other people are writing about, you get no comments or recognition whatsoever. Take for example, my last couple posts...

I wrote about my newest adventure in World of Warcraft and I got NO responses. I had to ask for a comment. Well, I didn't have to but someone asked me to comment on their post so I asked them to comment on mine. But it's pretty sad, isn't it. But then a few days later (days people!!), I write about wanting to get a Wii Fit an start working out. I got 5 comments in less then a minute. I find that pretty pathetic. In all actuality, people were skipping over my WoW post and commenting on the posts below it.

Personally, I use StumbleUpon

Since my casting out of PnP I've joined two other guilds. One I was in didn't last to long since I joined and now I'm in another that is working out pretty well. I think the problem with PnP was that they did their raids and instance runs on the weekends, and if mom called I'd leave and they'd have their little shit fits. It's their loss really, but now with the new guild, Wetworks, we raid during the weeknights. And weekends are free for us to do whatever or not log on and everyone is happy and they go about their real lives. It's great. And I love it. It's really working out being a healer instead of a DPS. So happy!!
