    December 7th, 2008 -- The Decision to Play

It’s no secret I’m a geek, but up until this point I’ve been a geek that doesn’t play World of Warcraft. It’s one of those things that I’m almost positive I’ll love, but I just haven’t taken the plunge yet. The biggest reason for not playing is probably the fact that it isn’t on any of the consoles. I’ve always preferred console gaming especially the Nintendo systems. The fact that WoW is on the mac makes it an easier decision to try the game. I’ve sworn off PCs, life is just too short.

Like I said, I’ve always been interested in trying World of Warcraft but the season two premiere of “The Guild” has made it impossible to resist any longer. If you haven’t heard of “The Guild” it’s an online comedy about a group of World of Warcraft players written by and starring the incredible Felcia Day (Buffy, Dr.Horrible). Check out watchtheguild.com

So today I start my journey into the World of Warcraft. Most normal human beings just go buy a game and start playing but not me. I’m not only blogging about the experience but I’ve started researching it first. I’ve decided to learn as much as I can before starting to play, its not an attempt to excel at the game right away but rather to get the most out of it. I don’t have time to play 50 hours a week like many do, so I want to maximize my time.

    Hey, did you ever try the game? I play on Ravenholdt and if you'd like to play on that server I'd be glad to help you out!
  • I did the free trial right after posting this. I played it for a few days and decided I would buy the game. I bought the Battle Chest version a week ago. My character is a Human Warlock. My main reason for the Warlock is I liked the idea of controlling a pet. I'm level 14 after my first week and I'm having a lot of fun. I'm mostly out on my own but did group for a couple quests. I'm on the Misha Realm, I'm not sure if that is the same as the server. I appreciate your offer and if its possible to play on your server, I will take you up on it.

    I will be posting more about the game in the next few days.
