Three and a half months into World of Warcraft

I still remember the day, August 7, 2008, when I finally decided to install World of Warcraft onto my 3-year-old Apple Powerbook G4 laptop.  I’ve been resisting playing the immensely popular MMORPG, even though my boyfriend has been playing it ever since it was released in 2004, and has been asking me to play with him.

I remember that when I installed it, I told my boyfriend that I would play it until my Disgaea 3 (PS3) would arrive at the end of August.  As it turned out, my Disgaea 3 was delayed and it didn’t arrive until September.  So by the time I was supposed to stop playing WoW and start playing Disgaea 3, I was already a month into the game.

I tried to play Disgaea 3, but I kept falling asleep (not that it’s boring but sometimes things get repetitive) and so I actually went back to playing more WoW.

Now, three and a half months later, I have a level 75 (going on 76) human rogue, and I can’t stop playing World of Warcraft, and it’s taking up the majority of my time at home.  I never thought I would enjoy playing the game so much.  I even bought the new Macbook Pro, because it has the awesome high-end NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics.  A lot of my friends actually also play WoW, and so I no longer have to sit through WoW conversations at dinners without any clue what they’re talking about.

Right now I’m just trying to level my character up.  At this rate, I should be at the maximum level of 80 in another week.  Then, I can start learning to play my rogue properly, using her abilities the right way and then the true game can really begin.  There’s just so much left to do in the game even when I reach 80, I’m just really looking forward to it.
