Blood Elf from World of Warcraft by CavinB
When I first heard of the game through friends that played it I kinda did want to play it, but I didn't have my own computer and my parents would've never let me install that game on their computer (not to mention it would run extremely poorly since we had dial up at the time). So, instead of letting people know I wanted to play it...I did the exact opposite...I acted like I hated the game and I would make fun of my friends who did play it.
Then I went to college...one of the first things I did before going was get a laptop. Well, I met this guy Erik randomly through a friend of mine and one day before class I met up with him. Him and his other friend were playing World of Warcraft, or WoW, and he offered to let me play. At first I declined, as I was used to doing and I said I would just watch, but when he insisted that I make my own character and try it out I decided to give it a chance. My first character was a night elf on Shadowsong...she was a druid. When I got on and made her and ran around doing the starter quests I had sooo much fun! I almost didn't make it to class that day. I ended up buying the game as well as the burning crusade expansion within that week. I ended up playing a draenei pally on the same server for awhile.
Then, I switched over to horde on Skullcrusher where I now have my 80 warlock, Shisama. I'm not exactly sure where I got off wanting to play horde, but I met this guy who went to my college, Owen, who played horde on that server and so I began to play on his server. I also met all his roommates who played...this is how I met my current boyfriend, Brian. After I met Brian, he would run me through lower level instances on his 70 hunter, Kiloo. He would help me out with any quests I had trouble with and everything, we got to know eachother pretty well through WoW alone. Then, since we both went to the same college we started to hang out outside of WoW more too. He would help me out with school work or any other problems I had, and we would go to parties together, etc. That year he graduated, and since he lived 4 hours away we kept the long distance relationship going through WoW. When the next expansion that came out we leveled my lock and his hunter together from 70 to 80 and we would raid together. Now I live with my boyfriend...when I first moved here I still played a lot, but I have cut that down now. I have a job and school that keep me pretty occupied...I still like to play occasionally, but it gets boring. And when I do get sucked into the game all day I feel like I didn't accomplish anything that day...so I feel bad.
So yeah...while it is addicting like people say it is I stand to defend it because I both got to know my boyfriend better through it and stayed with him through the rough patches due to being in a long distance relationship because of it. It is also a fun way to kill time and talk to random people. ^_^
