WoW

Worldcall has, in addition to its many wonderous Value Added Services, added a WoW (World of Warcraft) server to the list. Now let us be clear, I am an old school gamer, mostly because of my sad, low-end PC, but there is no shame in that. That's why I assumed WoW was not for me. All through my vacations I would hear everyone raving about WoW, as gamers with a lot of free time tend to do and eventually, far too late, I decided to give it a try. That, to the right, is myself stuck in one of the game's glitches where I am apparently airborne and treading air.

I am now ready to venture forth an opinion: I love WoW!

I love the fact that I am an undead, green chick with a large sword and I love the fact that you can take on wierd animals to gain levels and I love the quests and I especially love the teaming up aspect. Additionally, I also love the fact that I can travel to select locations in the huge map via bat (see left), a notion that is much more entertaining in practice than it sounds. Playing with real players always make for an entertaining experience. Currently, I am partnered with a young man whose handle is Dragon, another undead creature like myself, but a sorceror, as opposed to myself, the fearless warrior woman. We creep together till five in the morning, we run around together, we bitch about other, higher ranked players with access to various large animals to ride upon while we have to make do with travelling slowly by foot together and best of all, we work together to kill some awesome beasts. Unfortunately, we often die together too and have to travel to our corpses to be revived. Welcome to a twenty first century relationship! :P

To the left you can see myself and Dragon awaiting a zeppelin that would take us to a city across the seas. By the way, for anyone interested, all you need to join in is a decent speed connection and a moderately fast PC since the server is open to non-Worldcall users as well. And people wonder why I stick with Worldcall all this time despite erratic speeds and frequent disconnections.
