Default World of Warcraft Anyone? (Sorry for sounding a nerd) - 10-22-2006, 12:11

Am producing a documentary on World of Warcraft Addiction. I would be so grateful if anyone were to share their stories with me as I am still in my researching stages. Please contact lightscameraction@hotmail.co.uk or simply just reply. I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks.

Right, went out on the lunch today and bought the expansion. No queues, which was nice. I saw some video coverage from the Stockholm 00:01 sale start last night, hundreds if not thousands of people in line waiting for the stores to open.

A surprising amount of people seen in the coverage had come "in character", with home made armour and such. :-D I even saw a shot of one guy who'd made a mage staff out of a broomstick and a gold painted floorball.

I'm hooked on this game, yes, but I wouldn't call it an addiction. I've switched from watching TV to playing WoW, but I can't say I'm spending more time with WoW now than I spent time with the TV before I started playing. Computer games being slightly more interactive than TV, and WoW actually being an exceptionally social activity for a game, I'm claiming it's more good for you than TV. The best thing, of course, would be to get out of the chair and get some fresh air.

But, tonight I'll start exploring the new areas available in the expansion.

I can't say much I'm a smelly old beggar.

No, the last game in the Warcraft series I played was Warcraft 3. Didn't like it that much that it turned me off WOW. However Hellgate london caught my eye, it's online but not sure if it's a MMORG.
