Have you heard of World of Warcaft? If you haven’t be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
I’ve been avoiding it for 3 years now because I knew it would be a huge time suck. But considering they’ve made a South Park episode about it and close to 9 million people play it, I felt compelled to play it.
Giselle and I have been playing World of Warcraft and got sucked into playing in a virtual world with the millions of other people ranging in age from 10 to 40 (from what we could gather from the text dialogue and behavior of the other players). Just like crack, the first time’s free. In this case the first month, then you have to pay $15/mo to continue playing.
We’ve decided to stop after the free month is over, which is this week, so we’ve been staying up and trying to squeeze the last bit of playing time. By the way, I made it up to level 28 Night Elf Warrior. Whoot!
