Back in the day, when I still had enough time to play WoW, I often played from South Africa with real life friends who live in the UK. Sometimes it’s simply not feasible to socialise in the traditional sense of the word, and this is where social media and online games come in. Go out and try it Frances; you can go explore the elven lands of Teldrassil with Marisa. You might just find yourself drawn in by the beautiful online world of Azeroth.

he hee. I really enjoyed the article but I don’t see the appeal of these games. I mean, you can spend that time living a REAL life. Having said that I don’t think of losing myself in a good book as a waste time…on the contrary. But it’s different somehow…

Good post. I myself have recently succumbed to the lures of WoW, falling neatly into the 50%, 36% and 80% stats.
