WoW – not so wow

For the past three years I’ve been playing World of Warcraft (WoW) which, for those who don’t know, is the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game (MMORPG) derived from the very popular Warcraft computer strategy game series created by Blizzard. I’m continually finding doubts about why I’m still involved with this game. All I’ve experienced is grief, whether direct or indirect. My boyfriend’s account got banned for no good reason and they wouldn’t give him a straight explanation – and playing WoW is our means of doing something together since we’ve been so far apart for long periods of time. They have so many technical issues all the time, including bugged NPCs and severe realm-based lag, and right now I can’t even log on to my server. A game shouldn’t piss a person off this much. A game is meant to be fun, a form of enjoyment – not a chore. I think that after my current game card expires I might consider quitting altogether. I’ll just wait for Warhammer to come around instead! Because honestly, this kind of bullshit is not worth my time or money.
