I’m an IT student and I’m afraid that going to class tomorrow will be quite useless.

I mean think about it… These guys talk about WoW all day long through class and were drooling like dogs all last week over Burning Crusade.

Will I be the only one in class tomorrow?

I picked it up today, installed the 4 CDs (do we really need to keep providing modern games on CDs for the people who are too lazy/cheap to install a $25 DVD-ROM?  How many modern games run decently on machines that didn’t come with a DVD player?  I say eff those people), then I found out I’d have to wait in a 850+ person queue, at which point I decided I’d play tomorrow.

STILL unemployed????

Y’know, Les, I just thought of a good use for the “ignore” button.  You could put a little score on people’s posts, “Number of people ignoring this person.”

Whoops, I guess this comment belongs on the post about the “ignore” button.  Guess I got mixed up.

Hey! That would be cool! I wonder how many I already have.

though having seen the beta and knowing it’s going to be a kind of ‘state of the art’ progress for wow and the whole genre, i decided to quit. best time anyway.

still remember a good friend mocking about the game. he said it’s just a huge chat program that’s keeping you busy in the mean time. can’t recall the hours of just sitting there talking to all the nice, moronic and fancy people.

hell, it was fun. but time to move on, don’t you think?

How old are you anyway, Moloch? Twelve?

*shrug* I don’t play it anymore; a lot of people do, and I’m happy for that. It reduces my academic competition.

Besides, we all know y’got bigger fish on your plate. Think of this as prime-time for employment/advancement.

Put down the controller. Your friends are outside waiting for you on the swingset.

I seen this post coming and I really do feel for ya. Being a leet Tier 3 raiding vet and having just bought TBC I can tell you that after just 7 levels with my new Drae Shaman, I remembered why I quit 6mo. ago. It’s a job that you pay to play!  Although, I do have to be honest and say it really helped stay social and kill time through the dreary 3 months that I was unemployed. One day at a time, man!

See the update in the original entry.

Humm....

Go find a job, pay the bills, keep the family fed OR play WoW.

Difficult choice.

This is very cool and I’m very flattered. Woot!

Clearly, somebody prayed for you

I read about WoW here and it makes me want to play again so I reactivate my account and get on only to find I don’t want to play after all. Weird huh?

I do miss a couple of my characters though.

Moloch, you act like Les isn’t doing those things.  That is a bunch of bullshit and you know it.  Do you do things in your spare time?  I’m guessing you do.  I play WoW and I have a job and go to school full time.  If anything, Les should definitely be playing WoW right now because it is something he enjoys and a good way to relieve the stress he’s going through.

Les,

I don’t know your money situation,
but http://www.workathomeagent.com isn’t bad for some extra scratch. It’s mostly customer service, though you could do tech also.

Ah the ‘free trial’ account is along the lines of..First hits free, kid! or Here’s a dime bag ‘till ya can get me back.

BTW Let us know your name/server so I can come grief you, newbsauce?!?

Helpful, I’ll check it out.

Wheeler, my primary server is Durotan and my main is a level 60 dwarven hunter named Balfour, though I have several other characters on that server as well.

I sometimes hang out on Fenris as well these days as it’s a newer server and thus a bit less crowded.

I rolled a new Dreanei Shaman on Rivendare named Psychopomp. Brand new server w/o queue or lag. I dont wanna try Outland till the ‘honeymoon’ is over. Maybe I’ll roll a BE rogue twink on Durotan to say heya.
