4:00pm (Due to internet difficulties, I couldn't update these two entries earlier.)
This game is an extremely enjoyable one. I'm not sure what to blog about for these assignments, but I guess I'll just ramble about what's been happening in my game today...
I am a level 37 Night Elf rogue (woohoo!). I've been playing this game since September 2005, but I'm not addicted (hence the low level). I've noticed that WoW has become a kind of subculture (whether a subtle one or no) for the video gaming world, and is generally disrespected and looked down on by people who don't play WoW, because of its... addictiveness. Sweet Jesus, this game is addictive. I know many people who play for twelve hours straight -- they've got their minifridges next to them stocked with energy drinks to last them through the night.
Aaaaaanyhow, as it's an MMORPG, we play with and against other players, which doesn't bother me but I am not usually a team player. That aspect generally gives the game its cultlike aspects, though. Sometimes other players are a hindrance, particularly if they're from another side. And it gets downright annoying when they're level 60 and you're a mere level 12 and they feel like killing you and camping your body for the fun of it.
The multitudes of quests in the game keep it from getting boring. It's amazing! - I've played a total of 8 days on this game and I've only ever stopped playing due to boredom once. Other players can make the game both more interesting and more frustrating. This feels more like a review, so I'll stop and just write about what I did today IN THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT, I guess.
There's this one quest - you have to gather badges in Stromgarde - that is impossible to do by myself at this level. It is *very* frustrating; I'd worked on the quest a few days ago with other people, but I had to leave with one badge to get still. It's so hard to get it by yourself! Every enemy is the same level as me, except they're elite, which means they have twice the stamina. On top of that, if you attack one person, you're more than likely to aggro at least two more enemies to you. Then you're just screwed. If I weren't a rogue I would have died a lot more times than how many I have.
This feels really nerdy, writing in-depth about WoW, so I think that's enough. I have to update in an hour again anyway, so whatevs.
