There is too much else to do for me to play. And because I'm cheap.

yeah it's pay to play.  WoW can and will suck time and energy away. And leave you arguing with an ex boyfriend that FOR ****'S SAKE WHY DID YOU TAKE MY PRIMAL FIRES I WAS SAVING THOSE FOR MY MAGE'S ARMOUR or something >.>

which has never happened to me. Obviously.

Ah yes...Drama.

No offence intended but..if you are going in a raid with 24 people the least you can do is have the decency to have potions, flasks etc. Read up tactics for the boss and all that.

Or simply not be a moron and avoid the fire.

Pshaaw, the make up was fun after. But yeah we stopped playing a bit after that as we realised we were, you know, arguing over pixels. Also I was better at it them him. LOLOLOL.

I agree. And it's rude to keep 24/9 other people waiting while you faff around during raid start to get your consummables, at least for progression. If it's something that can be started, like trash pulls or something, then I don't care.

As I have only reached level 20 with one character, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Though I have lost many to the wow-curse. Might have been a good trade-off for them, I wouldn't know.

MMOs are an anthisesis to me. I am the quintessential antisocial gamer. MMos involve legions of annoying 12 year olds who don't get the concept of "role play" or "strategy". When I used to play Diablo 2 online, I would ask ages before I talked to anyone. Anyone under 21 I went insta-hostile on and killed.

[Costin_Razvan]

If there is a reason I am jackass on this forum it's because of what view World of Warcraft gave me of the internet.



Not that it's an incorrect one mind you.

Sarah... you REALLY do not want to know what kids do in MMOs, especially americans. It's diminished on the EU side, but still there.

How bad?

[Costin_Razvan]

Well I said earlier. It was like hacking your leg away with a chainsaw, and that's while playing with so called adults. Though I would seek validation for their claims, despite what age they have.



Playing with kids is...like, well cutting your finger with a knife while throwing alcohol on it after your done, x100.

Yes and no. WoW has a lot of content -- there's so much to do and offers a lot in the way of roleplay. Roleplay servers tend to have fewer d00ds than the regular servers (better character names and less trolling overall -- there are still idiots, but just in smaller numbers than PvP or regular servers, that's all).

MMOs are designed to be carrots to keep you coming back for more. They will add content that you must "grind" your way to acquire (invest some time each day to achieve your goals, etc). A large part of this game is who you know as they can make or break your gaming experiences. If you only hang out with people that want to use you in order to get loot or better gear, you can have a bad experience. If you hang out with people that are easy to be with, easy to raid with, and they have a fair loot system, you can enjoy raiding with them and hanging out with them. One of the downfalls (imo, especially for college students) is that raids happen on weekends, which are the times that students should be out dating other people instead of holing themselves up in their dorm room to get virtual stuff that will not benefit them in real life.

Playing in MMOs really helped my husband and I through hard times. When 9/11 happened, the economy went in the toliet and my husband got laid off three times in one year from different jobs because everyone was downsizing or trying to save money.  We lived off hamburger helpers and barely had any money to go anywhere, much less the movies or a restaurant. Everquest, at the time, was a bargain because it only cost 10 dollars a month to play. We were able to escape from the stress of our daily lives through this game and keep in touch with our friends this way.

WoW is a good game, especially for casual players that just want to log in for a bit each day and get something small done. I quit WoW when I had my kid because he would cry and need my attention while I was in the middle of a big boss fight. I had 24 people depending on my job as a healer. It was stupid to make a child wait because of a game and it was unfair to those people to make them wait constantly as I dropped everything for the kid. The best thing was to remove myself from that game and just focus on single player games like Bejeweled or even Dragon Age when I can just hit the spacebar and walk away.

Here are some of my finer, more memorable moments as a dwarf in WoW.

King Magni congratulating me on being exalted with the dwarves (first race I got to exalted with).


My husband's character and mine:


My dwarf on a rocket mount:


I was pregnant with our son at the time so we incorporated that into our RP stories:








Well, like I said, my husband and I got a lot of RP mileage out of WoW. You'll run into idiots in actual gameplay, but there are also good, fun stuff that carries over into art or fanfic. They have an expansion coming out soon which you can play as goblins, WHICH WAS WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED, and I'm tempted to return to WoW just for that. I told my husband that it'd have to be the kind of thing where I'd play once or twice a week and it needs to be away from our friends so I don't get pressured into raiding again. I'd like to stick with just duoing with my husband, getting back into pvp (GOD I LOVE PVP), and making some fanart with it.

what server Gilsa? if you want no strings, low manitanence WoWings* you can level a dorf with me, I hate levelling alone





*that made me sound like I was hitting on you. >.>

[Gilsa]

Heh, my character is on Silver Hand (there were only 2 RP servers at the time the game came out). I don't have an active subscription to WoW, fyi. If I reactivate it for the expansion, I'll let you know.

Yes, and you totally were, admit it!

[Costin_Razvan]

You two play on US or EU?

[Gilsa]

US.

US, oddly. Even though I'm English. Blame my brother, he enrolled me to the US servers.

[Costin_Razvan]

Oh well..too bad.



A hint though soignee. People on EU servers are MUCH more tolerable then those on US ones.

I am feeling so discriminated against right now on multiple levels...

[KnightofPhoenix]

I am just going to shut my ears and keep insisting that MMOs suck.

[Costin_Razvan]

Truthfully they make you have a rather interesting view about the human species. Would probably have been like you Knight had I stayed WELL away from them.



Instead I spent almost four years of my life dealing with some of the worst scum known to man.

Oh don't get me wrong. I found many young people who were great players. In fact the best Paladin Healers I ever had the pleasure of raiding with were 16 and 18 years old respectively.

I actually had to look that up I know so little about those types of games.

Well, that's one level. The other is the fact I was tragically born in Chicago...
