And... I have been playing it for about three weeks and I play on average, about one hour a day (probably one or two quests a day). The very last post before this one involved new statistics on the demography of video game players that should shoot a hole through any stigma we as a society should have on playing video games. More specifically I have noticed, there is an even larger stigma on players of massively multi-player online video games - stigmas and stereotypes that these people are loners sitting in their parents basements who have quit their jobs, eat Doritos all day and are completely unproductive members of society. Yup, just like football players are all misogynistic, violent, dumb brutes...
I like destroying stereotypes with my own actions personally and a side-effect of my playing this game is that I am helping defeat yet another stereotype - the WoW player.
For me, I just wanted a fun game to play during my downtime each day and was getting tired of playing Warcraft 3 (did I mention I love the Warcraft mythology :P). So I picked up all of the games on a discount over Thanksgiving and started playing. I have a level 14 Drawf Priest and enjoy just logging when my girlfriend is busy on something and I'm not busy, completing a few quests, joining a quick group if needed to help with a quest, and then log off after an hour or two or when my girlfriend is ready to hang out or if I have real work to do. It is a great game to play casually, and in fact caters itself toward the casual player with increased experience for those who have been offline for a period of time.
The cool thing about the game is that it has TONS of ever growing content and probably will not get old for a while with me. But all in all, I just think it is downright fun and enjoy the time I do spend playing it.
