11:10a	wow gold How many people sit in front of the TV for 5+ hours a day.Everquest2 platinum. LOL. There's a guy at work who always bashes online gaming...fast wow gold. then he goes on about this sitcom, that sitcom, this reality show, etc... etc... I bet he watches TV at least 4 hours a day, most likely more.guild wars gold. At least WoW is 'interactive' and makes you think sometimes. TV is just pure emotion, nothing else really there...lineage 2 adena. Cry, laugh, cheer, yell - whatever. It's something special when a movie 'makes you think' - isn't it.lord of the rings online gold. Well, I've been gaming for years - 5+ years of Everquest, and now into WoW - and the game makes me think constantly. Plus - if one compares it on a monetary basis - WoW's monthly fee is cheaper than *any* movie channel - if you rent more than 3 movies a month, you're paying more than I would for WoW - and getting less entertainment time out of it. Heck, I can blow 3 times that at a bar in one night - quite easily. I can blow 4+ times that going to a single movie... Now, let's see - I have a hobby where I interact with people, have to read and type, research things, figure out things, and for all intents and purposes - is cheaper than just about any other hobby... Again.. how is that bad. Given - one shouldn't spend every waking minute playing, but to fill free time... hmm You'd be very surprised the variety of people who play this gaMe. I, ike you, put my social life before WoW, I play WoW to relax. For example, I am VERY hungover right now and am about to go play Wow for a couple of hours and just "zombie out". It is a means to relaxation. Then on the other end of the scale you get the folks who are utterly addicted. They abandon their social lives, hygene, fitness, a functional life in general goes flying out the window. I know of this, it happened to a close friend of mine once. He would never come outside, and even when he did he became easily uncomfortable around his closest friends, which is not healthy. But, getting to the point, the stereotype of people who play games (MMO's in particular) are greasy fat middle aged men. I know a dozen people IRL who play WoW and are some of the coolest dudes you'd meet. Stereotypes are a bad way to judge a character, and people who have an opinion on you playing WoW are opinions not worth having. (Comment on this)
11:11a	What do you want out of a guild? When I join a guild, I like some guild chat to be going on.cheap mp3 player. Doesn't have to be about WOW. I like to put up some quests that I am working on and know who are working on quests and would like some company.cheap wow gold. I don't mind PLing through some instances or quick kills. Small team events to wipe an instance for guild drops (gear for the lower lvl members), treasure or to help in rep grinding. I want people that are more interested in helping everyone to stay the same level than they are about their own leveling goals.digital mp3 player. We all wanna level, so let's do it together, ok. Well, I thought that was the primary principle for a guild after all.eq2 platinum. Perhaps I was wrong. That sounds good.< a href="http://www.gamesavor.com/EVE/EVEISKStore.aspx">eve isk. I like that as well.wow power leveling1. I usually have many alts that are a variety of lvls so I can always group with someone. I don't focus on lvling as much unless its my main. Mains are to serve the guild. I have been in guilds that don't chat, and don't want to be bugged. I get kind of the "What do you want. " response. I like guilds so I can work on my group tactics and I like company.. (Comment on this)
11:12a	WoW a Target for Money Laundering Symantec's Internet and Security report has predicted that WoW and other on-line games will soon become a favourite for money launderers and fraudsters, seeking to move money between countries.10GB MP3 PLAYER. An article on m-net says that: Many persistent virtual worlds (PVWs), such as Second Life, and massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), such as World of Warcraft, allow players to conduct real-money transactions in virtual worlds. Players can use credit cards or other payment methods to purchase virtual credits and then exchange those credits with players in other countries, where they may be withdrawn back into local currencies.best mp3 player. These transactions have evolved into a de facto international monetary system with exchanges for trading (virtual) currency across virtual worlds or different games. The report goes on to say: ...a criminal enterprise could open several thousand MMOG accounts.buy cheap wow gold. Each could be used to trade with other players in the purchase or sale of in-game assets, the funds from which would ultimately be withdrawn from the accounts. Since thousands of accounts may engage in millions of transactions, each with small profits or losses, it would be difficult to trace the true source of the funds when they are withdrawn.buy mp3 player. These transactions can be conducted worldwide without the oversight that typically accompanies international bank remittances. In fact, in February 2007, China\'s central bank and finance ministries called upon companies to stop trading QQ coins and virtual currencies, presumably to curb the unregulated exchange of currency. Well, that certainly is interesting.buy wow gold. The only thing is that this is something that can't really be stopped, unless we're willing to accept total regulation of the games that we play by government agencies, and I can say from the perspective of a gamer that I wouldn't want that.wow po. The reason I say this is because we would have to pay even more for the game, and that would drive avid gamers like myself to choose other games, even free ones, as they would be easier to pay for. I don't have a lot of money, so the $15/month that I pay is almost too much. Wow, I just thought of something... Why would they play WoW to transfer their money, when they could play something like Runescape that doesn't charge anything to play, and just do it there. Wouldn't that save them a LOAD of money. Hmmmm, is kind of odd when ya think about it. (Comment on this)
11:13a	Best part of World of Warcraft? Discussion This week's topic of the week ventures onto the subject of "the secret of WoW".aion gold. Blizzard has obviously done something special with this game, because reaching 5.5 million players worldwide is no easy task. Something must have taken it to that next level.2GB MP3 PLAYER. What is the best part of playing World of Warcraft. What keeps you excited about this game, and keeps you coming back for more. What makes the game so much fun.4GB MP3 PLAYER. Why has it been such a huge success. Well the diversity of the classes is better here than any real time rpg i have played.achat wow gold. There is no "king" of classes at the moment. They all have uses, with strengths and weaknesses.best mp3 player. There are multiple build possibilities within each class, with differently play styles and gear to fit them.wow power leveling. The loots in the game just keep getting better and better, and with an ongoing game there is no end to them, just a slight pause before the next batch. pvp-rank/rewards. the diversity in this game is just perfect, all the classes hav that special something in them that is required, (strengths and weaknesses), but also the community of people behind the game and inside the game. Blizzard has done a terrific job in creating the game of the year and the best MMORPG that ive ever plaeyd, but also the players need to b thanked for all the special moments that ive shared with you and what you have shared with others.....

11:14a	The Growing Divide With the second Arena season starting up this Tuesday with the release of patch 2.1.2 there seems to be a growing discontentment among the more PvE centric population.10GB MP3 PLAYER. Their problem. PvP gear, weapons espically, are to easy to obtain and raiders feel that they HAVE to PvP to get these items.1GB MP3 PLAYER. Part of the problem stems from their general dislike of PvP in general. Some don't like competing against other individuals and espically don't like winning at others expense. Part of their argument, and something I totally don't agree with, is that PvP is more or less static.2GB MP3 PLAYER. It is the same thing over and over again and that PvE requires or has a larger strategic element to it. The counter put out by some of the PvPer's is that this is a step up from pre-TBC where PvE players dominated both PvE and PvP beacuse of how grossly overpowered someone in, lets say Naxx gear, was when tossed into the general PvP mix.4GB MP3 PLAYER. Even individuals who had sacrificed the 2-3 months of their life required to hit rank 14 wheren't on even ground with such individuals. Basically the shoe is somewhat on the other foot now.8GB MP3 PLAYER. While this is not entirely true it is still somewhat ironic to hear PvE people complaining about PvP after 2 years of the reverse.achat mp3 player. Anyways, there are many many more points and counterpoints on both side of the arguement. Some are valid, some aren't. The simple truth is that Blizzard will do what Blizzard wants and more often then not there is some degree of wisdom in what they do, though not always. To add to that Blizzard will be releasing the next patch and regardless of what people think the Arena Season 2 gear is coming.. (Comment on this)
