WoW
So years after my first attempt at the WoW universe I have made my return.
I played for about 8 or 9 months in 2004/2005…I can’t believe it’s been that long…and while I enjoyed it greatly for a time it was quickly replaced by a number of things going on in my life.
Now, after all this time I’m back and impressed with what I’ve found. Some great changes and lots of fun to be had. Horde mage for the win! Coming back to such a mature world I feel like a newbie among the masses of level capped people playing their alts through the content for the umpteenth time, but I don’t mind.
Thanks to the Dungeon finder I am able to see much of the content I never saw the first time around because of my minuscule patience for the cat herding required to get 5 people in the same place at the same time. Annnnyhow…
I have always enjoyed this form of entertainment. I find it far interactive than just watching TV. It may not seem like it’s that different if you were to see me sitting there but there is a constant processing of the situations in the game and determination of the best or most fun way to react to those situations. This as compared to to television that often tries to manipulate you into how to react or respond with laugh tracks and sad soundtracks… (Don’t get me wrong, I like me some TV…)
Then there is the social aspect. Even though I am in a dark basement alone I am interacting with real people through written word or at times voice chat. Some of these I people I have known online for 10 years. While I have never met them, or even seen pictures of them, I have come to know a side of their personalities through avatars of mages, healers, warriors and rogues…I miss them when they are not there or there is no game to play.
Anyhow…this ends my random post entitled…”WoW”

Stumpy little guy. I thought he was taller. Looks more like a Dwarf Mage. Weird.
