A World of trouble

[glenatron]

Among my birthday presents was a copy of World of Warcraft which is a good thing because I love the Warcraft games and I really like the look and fun factor of pretty much everything Blizzard have ever produced but potentially a bad thing because I am not entirely sure that I can survive a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG without giving up entirely on every other aspect of my life. I have loads of things to do the whole time anyway and I don't want to turn into a hermit like a lot of people seemed to do when they layed hands on Everquest or Dark Age of Camelot.

Never haven partaken of this particular drug myself I can't really judge whether it will be an enjoyable occasional night in or an obsession-inducing Better Than Life type experience.

So the question is: Should I open that shrinkwrap and run that installer?

try the quarter to three forums for the most discussion on it ever and any other game thats come out ever as well.

and you want to start playing dominions2 if you havent already. its all about the evil pretender gods.

its www.quartertothree.com/phpBB2/index.php if you haven't seen the forum before, loads of game designers post there, well some anyway.

Yes, do it. However, give someone explicit instructions to remove you by force if neccessary at a particular time. If, half an hour after they've told you to stop, you're still sat there, but the CD.

Yes but decide how much time each day you are going to dedicate to it, and then only start playing it that amount of time before you have to do things that you *can't* miss.

Like work.

That *can't* go wrong.

Not a guarantee.

Just quit your job and become one of those people that sells in game items for cash on ebay.
Then employ us lot to pull drivebys on other trader's characters
