Confessions of a WOW-AHOLIC

Tagged: World-of-Warcraft Wow

Aw shit...I did it again, its 6am and I'm still up. My eyes are bloodshot, my nose is running, my hands are shaking...The only thing that will make me feel good is just one more hit...no its not cocaine, or heroine, something that would be less addictive then what I'm on! It's World of Warcraft, and the one more hit that I'm craving is to run one more dungeon, or level up.

Ok so I'm not that bad, but I can say with no shame that this game is almost like having a second job, or some may call it an addiction. I say nay! to all the haters and shit talkers! WOW is one of the coolest and fun games that I have ever played in my life. Why is that you may ask? Well...

First of all the game starts out very simple and then grows as you do. The main premise of the game is to create a character and to level him/her through various quests, and accomplishments. Later on you can run dungeons or raids (A dungeon with 10/25 people.) Why run these? For the precious LOOT! Oh how we love getting a new piece of armor or a new weapon. These give us the ability to enter higher dungeons to get even better gear, and so on.

Once you reach level 80 which is currently the level cap, then the game actually begins. You gain access to many awesome and challanging dungeons that are filled with cool bosses, that all have a different way to kill, that must have teamwork in order to succeed. Once you kill a boss he drops loot, if it's a rare item you choose greed if you wanna sell it and you roll dice, but if your character can use it as an upgraded weapon/armor then you roll need for it and that gets priority over greed. All who rolls need and the highest number on the dice wins. Yes! My gear score just went up!!

The teamwork is a lot of fun in this game. To properly run a dungeon you have 5 people/ The leader is the tank who's job is to collect all the aggro from the enemies, Then you have 3 DPS or damage per second, they only attack the enemies. Then you have the healer who chills in the back and heals the party.

Alright I may have bored you to death and I could go into all the professions, and all the other things to do but I'd really lose you then! I love this game and belong to an awesome guild! I play with marines, stoners, hot chicks, Moms, Dads, and people like you and me. We talk on mikes through a program called ventrillo, and I promise you its some of the best times I've ever had. I wrote this article to try to give a little insight of the fun of this ever evolving game. The world is alive and is never the same due to BLIZZARD constantly changing the game, and adding content. Shit for 14.99 a month they better do something!

Hey with all honesty, I ask that you try it, there's a reason why 11 million people play it. Top 10 celebritys that do? 10-Dave Chappelle, 9-William Shattner, 8-Mr T...like you didnt know by now, 7-Verne Troyer, 6-Kevin Warbach....Who?  one of President Obama's assistants. 5&4-Matt stone , and Trey parker, 3-Jay Mohr, 2- Macaulay Culkin...Douche, 1-Mila Kunis...Yeah unless you're a Turd Burgler then you know how hot she is. Come join us...

I would but...too many other awesome games to go through. I'll jump on MMORPG's once the action is as fast paced as a Ninja Gaiden game. If I see someone, I just wanna blast their ass in real-time. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge RPG player as I grew up. I'm just getting tired of the turn-based/slow action. A lot of games these days have great RPG-elements all over the place along with action. It seems some RPG's have decided to keep slow, clunky ways of doing battles and I can't do it anymore captain!

I played Final Fantasy for a few years and lost a total of 365 days of my life to that game. Never maxed out my character never really made in good friends in game. I still had the time of my life though. I'm Final Fantasy type guy though, I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy XIV and I'm sure it's going to fuck me up for a little while. For now I'll pass on the WOW.

ya avoid, this is a fun time for a while but it really depends on who your playing with. Its also SOOOOO much waiting around just doing shit, waiting a hour or so for fuckers to come online so u can raid with them for a few hours. The other thing that kills me is that the whole 11 million people deal is bull shit, it runs off servers which holds like a few thousand or so. I been there done that and i look back on it like "fuck i wish i had that money back". I have relapsed once on my addiction but i don't think that's ever happening again.
