Okay, there’s this new brand of crack rock I’m addicted to and it’s called World of Warcraft, or WoW. I’ve actually heard of relationships breaking up over WoW and Everquest, another MMORPG, and now I know why. Several friends of mine are playing it. One of my friends, eyedropp3r, told me I could trade in my PS2 + games at my local EB store, so I wouldn’t have to actually pay for the game. Taking his advice, I traded my PS2 + games, and got about $162 in store credit. I bought WoW and pre-ordered Quake 4. The ‘kid’ at EB said that I could pre-order Quake 4 for a $9 reservation fee, or I could just pre-purchase the game for full price. I figured I would just pre-purchase it, so that when it comes out I’m guaranteed a copy of the game and I wouldn’t have to shell out $40 in a couple of months to procure the game. Anyway, I figured since I’ve got $162 in credit, what the hell, go ahead and pay the full fee.
Anyhoo, WoW is flippin’ amazing. I’ve been playing it off and on for about a week now. My current player is a Level 10 Night Elf Rogue. Some of you won’t know what the hell that is without visiting the WoW site or actually playing the game yourself. The game is so good that I’ve been pricing a new AMD Athlon64 + new SLI mobo + new PCI-E video card to replace my current AthlonXP 3200 + Asus GeforceFX 5200. It’s a sickness, I know.
If you aren’t married or have a serious girlfriend and you have A LOT of time to kill, I suggest getting WoW.
