WoW Gold Facts

Random people ask me if I’ll ever get tired of playing WoW. "Maybe" is my standard reply just to end the discussion.

I don’t really think of when I might possibly lose interest in WoW. There’s just so much stuff in the game to keep me excited, I don’t have time to dwell on how long it can sustain my interest. Seriously, when you’re having so much fun, do you actually pause to ruminate the day you might say, "okay enough" ?

Not me. Rather than reflect on such matters, I’d rather sit back, chillax and give my quiet thanks to the brains behind World of Warcraft. The RMT debate aside (yeah, let’s give that a rest, first), I have great respect for the people whose ideas and efforts shaped WoW to become the tour de force in the MMORPG industry. Admit it: No other game has hit cult status of such proportions - 11 million subscribers can’t be wrong, can they? I can’t sing enough praises and superlatives to describe WoW and its many offerings, several of them being:

- arguably the first MMORPG to hit mainstream (where even the average Joe knows WoW)

- accessible to all, not just for the hardcore geekdom (where even Leeroy Jenkins with an okay-enough computer can be a hero!)

- best-designed game in history (four years into the game, I should already be jaded…yet I am still in awe of the instances)

- epic in more ways than one, making it the most fun, the most entertaining and still the most challenging (if only Homer’s long-suffering Odysseus had as much fun as we did)

- it’s got variety - quests, different server types, multiple character/classes combos (yeah, like the dwarf rogue …*winces*…and my fave, the troll hunter)

- the freedom it gives players to customize their toons, allowing for an original and unique experience with each roll (yeah, like the dwarf rogue *chuckles*)

- the awesome-beyond-words Battlegrounds (this one never fails to get the ol’ adrenaline pumpin’! Woot!)

- the sense of community in a rich environment that is convincingly real by itself (as my toon says, "I think, therefore, I really exist")

- special events for added entertainment value (Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza! Children’s Week!)

- guilds that support you in time of need ("Guys, I need to run Northrend. Help!")

- guilds with names like Whack-A-Gnome (LOL)

- lots of gnomes to pick on (ROFL)

- the highly-addicting sound of Murloc dying (admit it! you also get a kick out of it!)

- Chuck Norris! (/bow)

So kudos and thanks to the brains behind WoW. People like Blizz prez Mike Morhaime and  art director Sam Didier and all the other guys who brought +400 fun, +300 spirit and +500 extraordinary entertainment to the otherwise ordinary lives of real-life mortals like me. May your tribe increase! FTW!
