Come with me on my journey down the rabbit hole into the MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that is World of Warcraft and do not worry for my story shall be accompanied pictures, since as an undeservingly famous author once said "what is the use of a book without pictures."
First, let me introduce you to avatar. His name is Jorreal, and yes I stole that from a different game that I used to play when I was younger, and trust me that game is just as nerdy. He is a night elf warrior, or for those of you who play WoW a Night-Elf Mohawk and for those of you who don't play it means he is a cute little pale creature who wears a lot of armor and attempts to kill people. This is what he looks like.
Ok, so I haven't played WoW in a while so, as I was expecting, I was bombarded with a bunch of messages from my guildies(people whose main goal in life is to try and annoy me so much that I lose all in my life and spend nine hours a day playing the game, and not really having any fun.) So, I started my journey into the World of Warcraft already thouroghly annoyed and pretty much ready to quit again, but I needed to experience a little more. So I did as level 70s(highest level player) do and went to a lowbie(new player) area and started killing them for fun, and to make them almost as annoyed as I am, and was when I was leveling my character.Here is a picture of me standing over the dead body of a lowbie that I thouroghly annoyed.
What I learned from my recent adventures in the World of Warcraft is pretty sad and depressing. I suppose it's similar to what other people learned from SecondLife, that these programs that were intended to be fun and freeing become annoying and confining. In WoW it became a cycle of highler level players annoying lower level players, that I was more than willing to continue and higher level players annoying higher level players by guilting them, saying that people are relying on them etc. "Man, we need you to run TK(raid), you're the only one who can tank it that is on right now." Really, Really, am I the ONLY person playing the game who could do it, I highly doubt that, stop making me feel guilty, I've got homework to do, even if that homework is playing WoW.
This is me, happy that I'm finished.
