World of Warcraft
I’ve been contemplating on getting (back) into World of Warcraft… the last couple of times I played it was 1. the 10 day trial, and then subsequently 2. on private servers, because I balked at the monthly subscription fee. Dear God, Blizzard must be making billions of dollars from the masses.
Turns out the private servers weren’t that great… every single one of them was bugged, and I couldn’t do any of the normal quests because of missing NPCs, or they were missing the quest bosses themselves. Everyone, apparently, was always going for Illidan and screaming on the chat channel why he didn’t respawn quickly enough.
Anyway, I’ve been playing Warcraft III to get myself in the mood (and still wondering if I really should splurge on 6 months’ worth of playtime), and my computer decided to overheat and die on itself in the middle of the game. Twice. I’ve been thinking it’s a dust problem, so I’ll probably dismantle the thing and give it a good wipe-down, but I have no screwdriver. I don’t want to dismantle the thing until absolutely necessary, which means waiting for the 2GB RAM I ordered from Dell the other day. I can kill two birds with one stone then.
ANYWAY, back to WoW. My main beef with it is… well, it’s a MMORPG, and I’ll be bound to encounter idiots, or make myself look like an idiot. I absolutely love the world Blizzard created - in Warcraft III, there were no bad guys, because the game made you sympathize with every single one of them, even the guy who became the main antagonist in the end. If I had friends who were into WoW I’d definitely jump at the chance, but seeing as I have no friends in the first place (at the very most, I can count the number of friends I have with one hand), the idea is kinda moot, really. And WoW is all about player interaction and cooperation, which I pretty much epic!FAIL at in real life.
EXAMS ARE OVER WHEE 5 MORE DAYS TO SINGAPORE!
