Thread: What a great idea!

I just found this, and I thought it was a great idea. I play WoW and alot of other PC Games. I see that there's not been much activity in here, so maybe we can get some folks posting.

I haven't playing WoW in a while. It gets a tad repetitive if you're not playing with pals. I also have Age Of Conan, but I've never installed it. I usually will go ahead and jump back in when they produce a new add-on, but last time I ended up in a raiding guild and I suddenly had violent flashbacks to High School. That said, it is a hoot. I would describe myself as casual as well, I think I have a level 70. I have an epic mount, and I'm hallowed as an Undead Warlock. Boo!

Good lord, for the uninitiated this must look like two crazy people talking.

I used to feel sort of odd about the whole thing, but I would compare gaming to what alot of people do all weekend - stare at the TV. I mean, we're involved and thinking and using our minds as we play, and it can be a hoot. I always try to play on a Role Playing server, seems to cut down on the purile a bit. If you can get 8 or 10 friends to start over together there is much fun to be had.

Has anyone heard whether the new addon with allow mounts in Azeroth? I picked up something about that, just wondered if it was true.

Also, this is a GREAT web site for WoW. It's got a more professional/adult tone that almost any other, lots of light hearted humor, and they have deep contacts at Blizzard. If you play there's something there for you. Check it out - WoW.com: The new WoW Insider

Right now, and almost exclusively because of this forum, I am a fighting not to install Age Of Conan. I have never played it, but darned if this discussion doesn't have my MMO bug buzzing. I suppose... there would be nothing wrong... with just installing them. I could see how WoW looks on my new computer. And Age Of Conan doesn't count cause it's free for the first month. That's not even really like I'm playing. Right? Right...

YES! That's what I was thinking... where are my collector's editions? Should be easy to find, the stinking boxes are the size of phone books....

I am really hoping the next addon improves the graphics, I would probably play again for that reason. At least offer the option for an upgrade.

Oh I don't need to see this! I'm trying to NOT play that silly game..

They patched the game yesterday! All I can think about is the purple epic items that I can get in a few hours of quick random PvP runs!!

Actually all I need to get done before 4 is finding a brilliant supplier of gifts/prizes for a 3 family baby shower my sister is hosting. So far the best one I've had suggested to me is just a promotional products site. Other than some beanies and some hoodies, they have nothing for baby's and nothing really cool for new moms.. Unless I got some "oops" towels, but how "fun" is that?

Perhaps I should just get some WoW plushies, since apparently EVERYONE is a closet WoW player?

Must focus... Hehehe!

I like that one can play the game however one wants. My proudest title is "Salty." I'm an ace fisherman.

Haha! Me too! I started from day one as a Paladin that cooks, fishes, picks flowers, and makes potions. Talk about "support" character! People were complaining about the daily quests in Dalaran and I couldn't understand since they only take me a couple minutes with my setup? What's so hard about cooking some hot dogs and picking some mustard plants? I have the meat in my bank, I had the recipe before I found Dalaran, and herbalism shows me where all the mustard is on the mini map?
