World of Warcraft

Post Reply New Topic

Think im an addict, but sometimes i dont play because its so much fun.
Wow is an easy world, its relaxing for me too.
I play on Eonar EU
Have a Warrior 80, Lock 74, Priest 72, Hunter 71, Rogue 70 and a Mage 70.
Not to mention the alts under 70.
Sometimes i played day and night, not even now if its day or night too.

Have a timeclock on my comp now, auto shutdown at 3.00

Has anyone seen recent articles about how employers are refusing to hire WoW fans and are checking the internet to see if potential employees are addicts?

No, but i remember an article that a guy are offered a high function job at Yahoo i thougt.
Because he was GM of a very succesfull guild.

Anyone play on the Dalaran server?

I wish this game would die. Over 11 million people currently play World of Warcraft. Among those people are people I know, including my brother, who I can't get to do ANY other game with me. My friends refuse to try anything I'm playing, and just sit in their WoW and do exactly as they have been doing for the last 3 years, like millions of other people. It's really disappointing.

I've played World of Warcraft a bit, and I find it fun, however, it plays too slow. I get bored of it really fast. It has no real end-game goal that is worth it either. PvP? Worthless.. I can get that kid of PvP elsewhere, and have it be more satisfying. Getting items? Pointless. Blizzard just keeps adding items, and changing things all the time. What World of Warcraft lacks is what makes me not even want to play it just to play with my friends.

I prefer a good text based game. Games like Lusternia or Aetolia. These games play on the imagination a lot more. It has your levels, items (but a lot less of a focus on them), PvP (much more difficult PvP though).. It has a lot more. Player ran cities with player made laws that are based off of roleplay (the theme of the world). The guilds (you need to join a guild to get class sklls) are ran by players too. The economy is ran by players too, on a much more need-to-buy basis than WoW (and less ret*d). Players can create customized items too, such as any kind of clothing you can imagine (yes, any), jewelry, food, furniture, and even some kinds of armor. Not to mention the fact you can roleplay your character much better in text. If you say that your character stands on his or her head and spins like a breakdancer, then that's what he or she is doing. Graphical games currently don't allow you to just move your model however. They don't allow you to actually express yourself. The only thing I don't care for is the politics in the game. You don't really have to involve yourself in that, but it's there.

That is why WoW bores me. There isn't really anything interesting for me that I haven't seen in any of the RPGs that I grew up playing. It feels like a giant re-hash of what I played as a kid, only it plays slower, and requires far too much work to get anything out of it. I can get what WoW has and more from others source.. Sources that are free too.

I've mentioned wow in passing to potential employers on more than one occasion. You'd be surprised how many potential bosses also play wow.

Granted I wasn't like, "lol i hav 15 lvl 80's noob" but rather I was describing the website I built for my guild and the functionality I implemented from scratch.

I wouldn't want to work for a company that ruled me out based on my home hobbies anyway. Block the wow port in the work network. Problem solved. I wouldn't play at work anyway...

Who plays games at work anyways... apart from testers....

A lot of people play games where they shouldn't be playing them. On several occasions I've seen people admit to be playing while at work. I've also seen several people play games on college computers (for hours).

Reminds me of the sig line of one of the posters at the WoW forums:

"I have a 70 lock, a 70 rogue, and a 70 pally. If I had any less of a life, I'd be gnawing at your skull, trying to get at your brains."

FOR THE GOD-KING EMPEROR!

I finally get why WH40K is so awesome, playing one of those dice/figure games. ..

RPGs I believe. It's nice to go on a forum and see a bunch of people with WH40K avatars and all that.

A shedload of people

I love the actual playing of WoW but I never get far because.....are you ready for this?....I was too nervous to talk to people online.

I have this problem still, and I've used the internet for probably well over 20000 hours now. That is over 12 years of using it on a more than regular basis! On the game I described it wasn't always easy going to the hang-out spots, but I did quite frequently.

I always thought that as I got older things like that would get easier with experience.. It really hasn't.

its wow treathd run for your lifes!! !! !!1

If I didn't get bored so easily of this game, I could make a decent living playing wow. Just level characters and sell them.

IMO that's a network administration problem. Any decent network administrator knows to block certain game ports.

That is unless the network admin is playing the games himself, in which case the problem escalates

My college had all of the game ports blocked. Also the admins should be able to set up student accounts to not have admin privileges so they can't install the games in the first place.
