The only thing to say is WOW
Just a quick one tonight, as I look forward to some much-needed sleep. After no less than 7 weeks of searching and finagling, I managed to procure my very own copy of the impossible-to-find World of Warcraft. It took eBay, a resourceful seller from Utah and $68, but yes, I am now sucked into the most amazing MMO (massively multiplayer online) game of all time.
I won't bother to go into detail about just how spectacular this game is because I've already been called "loser" and "dork" a dozen or so times this weekend by my sighing, eye-rolling wife, but WOW is a positively tremendous piece of concept and execution. Detail and scope.
I am suddenly confronted with the very real desire to spend every waking moment playing this game. More than any PS2 or PC title I've ever owned...all of them put together...I have reached obsession level with record speed. This game represents a huge advancement in gaming. Drawing on the best of role playing, online community, quest-based gameplay and Lord of the Rings type grandeur, this game also offers a glimpse of the future. Soon, broadband access will be as pervasive as indoor plumbing and games will push the envelope of total sensory simulation.
When that finally happens, World of Warcraft will serve as a milestone -- a critical path node when the world realized just how powerful online gaming could be.
And how much sleep it could rob me of.
Good travels,
Mersault (currently 8th level Night Elf hunter)
