Why I play this game

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Some days you play wow you feel surrounded by idiots in every PuG you go to and you ask yourself, why am I bothering? Or you’ve had a crap day and wonder if it’s even worth logging on. If you only get annoyed, end up not enjoying it when playing, what is it that keeps you coming back? It could be addiction, a lot of people suffer from it, unfortunately. It could be the lack of something else to do and the will to do something about it or it could be that you enjoy seeing yourself as better than others and need the confidence boost it might give you. There are plenty of reasons.

I personally play this game for a different reason: the people I play with who makes the experience so much better. I’ve gotten some good friends in the game, some of them I knew before I ventured into the world that is computer games and some of them I’ve gotten to know via the game. I think what happened this week proves as a good example why it’s the people that make it worth while.

Oh, the lag!

The past few evenings the lag on our server has been ridiculous. Everything seems to take forever, and it is completely random. It is generally between 7pm and 9pm CET it is at its worst. I’ve experienced a few weird things related to lag, but nothing even comes close to what I experienced this evening.

I was randomly running around one of my low level alts in Hinterlands. Not been too interested in killing anybody to complete the quest that asks you to explore Altar of Zul, I ran to the top and quickly back down again, although the lag wasn’t making it particularly easy to lose aggro, not to mention trying to move, so well back down at the bottom I died. The release option appeared right away and that’s where normality ends.
