THIS GAME

Well as i approach 40 next tuesday i have done some reflecting on life, I started playing WOW by accident, 7 years ago i was living in hertfordshire and just got the new 50meg internet connection, i wanted to test out my download speed to i downloaded the trial of WOW vanilla

Once downloaded i had a 10 day trial, so was born bonesi, night elf warrior, didnt know what a warrior was, didnt know what a night elf was, both just sounded pretty cool, after my 10 day trial i was lvl 19, so i made a subscription, i spent the next year arsing around not really understanding the game but loving it none the less, i finally dinged 60 the day before TBC
I was in a very social guild back then where no one really knew anyone else but would help you out on the odd quest n stuff, When i dinged 70 i ended up as main tank for lux ferre, who back in the day was the top guild on the server, long before heroic raids and the like :>)
I stopped playing at the end of TBC, due to some real life stuff, divorce and the like lol but i had often wondered about the players i used to raid with, ones i had started calling friends but had never met.

Well this week i started thinking about the things in the game that i think about now, the people who help you out for no other reason than to help you, like spyrot on the epoch stones quest to help me with valor, omega, she, sonicay and the others who came to ICC as i am collecting shards for the old legendary quest,

I then wonder about the time i spent thinking about Yke’s bunny when it was ill, and Scott and gen when she went into labour

I think of the things i have learnt from other players just because they come from somewhere different and they are willing to take the time to tell you about their way of life

People who i am unlikely EVER to meet in real life yet i start to consider friends

What is it about this game??????
