Yes, this is about World of Warcraft. It’s a game I’ve been playing for who the hell knows how long ( February 2005 I think ? ) and will most likely keep playing for a while yet. There’s so many things I could say and not say about it that can emphasize why I care about playing this game. Yet I suspect it’s by and large the fault of the guild I am a member of, The Flaming Ruby, whose members are such great guys and girls I’ve always felt at home there with them since the day I joined in March 2005 and hopefully won’t be leaving anytime soon.
Members have come and gone, some I’ve liked a great deal and some I’ve disliked a great deal. Thankfully the dislikables are precious few and was generally disliked by most, if not everyone, and left the guild with pleasant people I continuously enjoy talking with. Though I tend to be distracted alot of the time I do spend as much as possible of it being social with them.
This has allowed me to raid ( gathering up 25 people to conquer common goals, and pick up pixels to further our cause for more conquests *grins* ) with people I enjoy while doing something I enjoy. While raiding, and when I’m not, I have the added advantage of our channel where the druids hang. It’s probably the coolest channel ever, and it’s all thanks to the great people I get to meet there every time I log on.
As a druid since the game’s closed beta I’m probably one of the few left that just couldn’t drop their druids because it’s the most amazing class to play in the game, although how long I’ve played it does not necessarily reflect my skill at it sadly. The class encompasses many roles and functions, kind of a “Jack of All Trades, Master of None”, though the class was heavily changed in The Burning Crusade ( World of Warcraft’s first expansion ) which made it fairly close to a master-class. A few harsh reductions in the class brought it in line with the others, although several still feel it’s still not.
I keep up to date as best I can on the game and it’s mechanics, although with the immense flow of information there can be at times I feel hard pressed to do so, so I focus as best I can on doing as well as possible with my class, the druid, and learn from my fellow friends as well. It would suck to mess up in a raid because I was ignorant. Which has happened alot, I’ll admit.
[Will add more in time as I find it interesting to add stuff, though UI ( User Interface ) will be next in line I believe]
