Well, I finally broke down and started playing World of Warcraft. The game is really quite cool, and, as you may have heard, very addictive. As though I need another thing to occupy my free time.
For those who aren't familiar, WoW (as it's called by regulars) is an MMORPG, or "Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game," set in the same game universe as the Warcraft series that started over ten years ago. I remember playing Warcraft II in the computer labs in college for some seriously hardcore LAN games against friends. This game, however, takes the whole experience light-years beyond that. One of the cool things about the game is that it always changes, and there's always something new to do, whether you play for hours at a time or maybe only an hour here or there. You can form groups and complete quests, explore, battle other players, or just hang around and chat. It's quite cool. And apparently lots of other people think so, as the game has over seven million active players.
So if you're already a WoW player, perhaps I'll see you around.
