Default World of Warcraft Anyone? (Sorry for sounding a nerd) - 10-03-2005, 23:37

Just a random survey (sorry if this is the wrong section for this) but how many other boardonians play (and have maybe lost their social life to) World of Warcraft?

If anyone does, my main characters on it are:

Hellscream server - ChesterDwarf

Argent Dawn (rp) - Kiachideon

-shudders-

I was somewhat addicted to runescape for about a year of my life about four years ago...

World of Warcraft is a similar type of addiction... but the game is actually... good :p

I managed to lose many years to Civ2 and more recently months to Civ3. I have played Warcraft III, reign of chaos many times, mostly in college hours though, so that's not a waste.


Back to stay!

massively multiplayer games are the spawn of satan.

people who play them are devoid of basic human decency and should be stripped of their rights. if you ever play any MMO game, your next of kin should legally be entitled to inherit and you yourself declared legally dead.

anything that happens after that is just karma.

now, everyone concentrate really hard on speeding up the future until Civ4 comes out

I managed to stay clean for a while, but now I am addicted to The Kingdom of Loathing. Unlike most other online games, there's a limit to how much you can play in one day (Sort of). Otherwise, I'd be lost to society for good.

Edit: That is to say, clean of other online games. I tried WoW but didn't get hooked.

Sorry to bump (it's on the front page), but I have World of Warcraft. It's wonderful. Not quite as good a world as Discworld, but I just love it. I like getting all politcal in it and acting in character. I'm a wizard gnome who hates elves!

I played it from March to November, then I realised it was ruining my social life, so I quit. I still haven't fixed it yet. My main was a dwarf warrior called Karies on Draenor.

You must buy it! Money doesn't matter! It's WoW for Christ's sake!

Nice! I'm on the Kul Tiras server. I have a little gnome wizard. I want to get a wizard's hat!

Tauren Warrior called Kracken on Steamwheedle Cartel server. Only started a few weeks back but it's been great fun so far Fortunately I dont have much of a social life to ruin any more due to work so that's okay and my girlfriend also plays it, so no worries about neglecting her :o
