» You miss the point
I think what the people that "don't get it" are missing is the social part of the game. This is the first MMORPG I have played, and one the the first RPG's also. I too got bored, although a bit later, around lvl 40 (this was pre BC). What got me back into the game, and well more immersed was meeting some really great in-game friends. So while you do miss time in the RL world, you aren't an isolated grinding drone unless you choose to be.
Anyone over the college age knows it is a bit difficult to meet new friends in the real world. You aren't going to meet lots of smart, funny and responsible people in a bar. But in WoW, you can. On voice servers and now in game, you can speak with some people and have a great time cracking jokes, telling stories about what stupid thing you did a party the night before or whatever. All while grinding out that lame sword that doesn't mean anything... Flag this | Edit this post |
