WOW! August 2, 2007

Today I spent the majority of the day playing WOW-World of Warcraft. Another one of my ‘quirks,’ I do enjoy playing it, though it does get somewhat monotonous after a while. I suppose I won’t be one of those that sells their house and divorces their spouses in order to play some more…I am a level 46 Paladin (called a “Pally” by savvy players…) which says something about my personality. Pallys’ are the healers, they don’t have as many fighting skills, like warriors, but they heal and I like to think of them as the nicer ones…There are 70 levels, so 46 is getting up there…there used to be 60, but we got the update. Basically, you go around gathering quests (different ideas for excuses to kill things) and then fulfilling those quests. Along the way you get experience points (XP) and reputation points. XP goes towards leveling up, and reputation points make you a more honored citizen or whatnot of the cities you have a good rep with. I like playing WOW, because you can play with other people, and there isn’t a set sequence. You can go wherever you want, unlike some computer games where you have to follow a set path, and there really isn’t an ‘end.’ Even when you hit level 70, you can still go around and get better armor and weapons and stuff. It’s fun, but it’s better when you play it, rather than listen about it.

 

Eclipse comes out in 5 DAYS!! I am so excited, but I won’t give anything away, don’t worry. I also expect ALL of you to read it, and read Twilight and New Moon if you haven’t already.

 

Happy Summer!
