An Old "Friend"

Since Friday I've had little more than £13 in my bank account, an amount that was so small that Natwest refused to give me any of it. Turns out my overdraft isn't active or something. But anyway! I get home, my dad gives me some "emergency cash", and I promtly deposit some of it into nearest bank, allowing me to use my card to...*sigh*...sign up to another month of World Of Warcraft.

IT'S GOT ME AND IT WON'T LET GO!! ><

Besides feeling like I should be hiding in a dark room somewhere with nothing but a pc, a broadband connection and a copy of WoW, I feel quite happy to be back!
It welcomes your return like an old friend with a warm smile, two month's worth of new content, and a firm handshake.

I can't figure out why I keep re-entering the world that is Blizzard Entertainment's, and why once again I have upped their bank balance by another £8.99 for what is basically, giving me the "privilege" of doing the same stuff over and over...It could be that there's no ending to the game and that the gameplay, while simple, is very enjoyable...Even though I'm not REALLY addicted...*Shifty eyes*...I can't see what it is that makes this title so drug-like.

Whatever it is, I've just spent nearly £10 for a month's gameplay and I intend to use it.


The inspiration for this post. Do you like my rogue's old friend?

Haha, good idea! If you start now and play constantly for the remainder of the holiday you MIGHT be a high enough level to take me on =P

And by then poor 'ol Toma would be addicted anyway, unless his power level is ABOVE NINE THOUSAND, in which case there's a chance he won't be.

give it up NOW!

you know its boring and pointless - give me the £9.99 a month instead, and I'll make sure you get a good degree instead.
