The four years I have been playing this game has enriched my life because of the wonderful people I get to call friend. I have and will continue to meet up with my pals and take time off if they happen to come into town. Like you said, it is family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-55674050142160384382008-10-06T07:18:00.000-06:002008-10-06T07:18:00.000-06:00Amen to that.

We weren't raised together — I was given up for adoption when I was born, and didn't connect with my biological family until after I turned 18 — so it was an excuse to spend some time together and establish a bond. Now I play with my birth mother, my sister, my foster brother, my future sister-in-law, my sister's boyfriend (who she met in WoW) and my boyfriend (who I met in WoW). <BR/><BR/>Sensing a theme here? :)<BR/><BR/>Last night, we all took a night off and went to my birth mom's house, since a friend she made in-game came alllll the way to Arizona from England to visit. We watched the VP debates and argued PvE vs. PvP over dinner.<BR/><BR/>It was awesome.Ihlanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582349853923307716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-11193689607180608552008-10-02T21:29:00.000-06:002008-10-02T21:29:00.000-06:00Have to agree with ya there Pike.

While it didn't hurt that their guild is progressing further than mine (ssc, the eye)was I also had an offer from a newer friend to get much further (mh, bt, swp) but I knew where I'd have more fun. I've only been with the new guild for about 8 days but I'm already having more fun than the last 3 months combined.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-88802104611231133792008-10-02T19:07:00.000-06:002008-10-02T19:07:00.000-06:00How WoW has affected my family life:For the past 2...How WoW has affected my family life:<BR/><BR/>For the past 2 years, I have two regular WoW groups:<BR/><BR/>1) group of RL friends that get together every Monday night & play & Scype. Great way to start the work week, see friends, and not have to worry about driving home too late.<BR/><BR/>2) playing with my wife & in-laws every saturday morning. We get to chat about all sorts of stuff, and WoW fills the pauses that would otherwise cause us to hang up. <BR/>Also, gotta love scype/Vent/Teamspeak/whatever for just shooting the bull when you're on opposite sides of the country...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-54015011900371545962008-10-02T12:06:00.000-06:002008-10-02T12:06:00.000-06:00I met my boyfriend through a MUD client game where...I met my boyfriend through a MUD client game where our characters married each other and had a family before we even thought about speaking OOC.

It's a subject very close to my heart and it is nice to see such a well respected blogger addressing it. <BR/><BR/>So much of the person I am today is due to the influenced of my friends in World of Warcraft. <BR/><BR/>Through their eyes, I see the world from new perspectives. Through our conversations, I learn about life outside my small circle. Through the ever changing landscape of life both within and without Azeroth, they remain constant. <BR/><BR/>The chance to know these people, brought together from every walk of life and across three continents, is the beauty of World of Warcraft and in their friendship I have all the epic reward I will ever need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-91990085078628536382008-10-02T03:53:00.000-06:002008-10-02T03:53:00.000-06:00Amen, sister.

I find it incredible and fantastic that the internet enables people from all areas and all walks of life who probably wouldn't look at each other if they ran into them to become friends.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am fully prepared to request off work for when my guild does the bigger runs. And it's for the same reason.Beowulfahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08401458930362134682noreply@blogger.com
