Some reasons why I love WoW

I've been thinking about some of the things that I love about WoW. I wanted to tell all of you why I love WoW.

1. WoW is always there for me. Except on Tuesday mornings from 5am to 10 am. But I rarely play during that time because I'm at work and sleeping. Not sleeping at work, but rather either sleeping, or at work. But it's there, whenever I want to go online and own some horde face, WoW is there. Frostmane is my home away from home. The servers are there for me when I need them, mostly.

2. WoW loves me back, as much as a computer program can. I pay Blizzard a fee and they give me enjoyment and gear. And with that gear, I go and own horde face. And by owning horde face, I get enjoyment. Rinse and Repeat

3. My friends are on WoW. Not just in game friends, but my real life friends. And thanks to the invention of VoiP programs like Ventrillo commonly referred to as "Vent" we can talk to each other.

4. It's the best, most fun, most enveloping game I've ever played. WoW > All

But Tarbis > Jubnam

But in the end, RL > WoW and if I had no friends playing, I wouldn't be playing either. So its all about the people!

By the way, I love Digg. Its a great site for news and other interesting tidbits. It's user generated so I obviously can't support all of the stuff on there, but I've found some fun things there.

Anyways, enjoy!
