WoW...now that's intersting.

So there I was... taking the time to create a character.  Oh! the possibilities.  I was a little overwhelmed.  After all, each character is unique and so is each job.  I suppose I kind of followed the trend.  A blood elf.  I thought to myself, "I don't even know what that is!".  Then I picked a warrior.  Let's be honest, that is definitely not in my element.  Once I created my character I was ready to go in to Maelstrom.  The first thing I noticed before I started was the menu screen had this dragon on it.  I thought to myself again, "There is no way in hell that I am going to be able to move let alone fight that thing".  Luckily when I entered I found that everything was kind of bright and and kind of harmless.  I was still nervous though.  Then all of the sudden I found myself starting a quest.  I had to kill these floating, what looked like stingrays?  I had a hard time trying to figure out how to initiate a fight.  It took me forever but now I can somewhat battle.  That is not to say that I don't die every 10 seconds.  Honestly, I die so much that every time I load the screen I am pretty much a ghost in search of body.  That is another struggle.  Where is my body?  Follow the tombstone, really?  Talk about crushing your motivation.  Regardless, I find my body and continue on my way and explore the world around me.  Luckily, Nicole and Dr. Mortimore are in game sometimes are I would never know what to do.  Particularly this last time because I had to cut this thing's head off and I attempted at least 10 times.  Sure enough Nicole came and took it down with one shot.  Or perhaps her animal did it?  I don't really remember.  To be honest, I'm sick of being in the same location.  Evan told me that once I get to level 5 then I should be moving around more.  Thankfully! Only 16 levels to go...or maybe even more if i get addicted.  I do find myself on it a lot more than I thought I would.

  1. I enjoyed reading your opinions on the game. Its been quite a while since I was a beginner at WOW, so I sort of forgot what its like. It has changed a lot in the years its been around. Idk if they still do this, but that Dragon is supposed to fly around the continent and sets places on fire. If it gets your area, its an instant Death. Plus, if burns the land for 10 mins so even if you become alive, you might still die from the fire aftermath. But i feel like they might have stopped that.

  2. Well, I was like four times the level of that guy...so it was much easier for me to kill him. I am glad to hear that you're enjoying the game. Character creation is one of my favorite aspects about MMORPGs....especially the naming portion. Hope to see you on tonight!

    @Derek- I don't think the dragon still does that...it was mildly entertaining though :)

  3. Haha I love this! This was pretty much the same reaction that I had!

    And I am also spending a lot more time on WoW that I had anticipated. I actually really enjoy playing it. I think that if I didn't have to continue paying for it (yes... I am that cheap...), I would actually continue playing it even when this semester ends!

    Who knows? Maybe when I have a real job with a real income, I might go back to playing?
