Expert: 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted

[Board Game Geek]

World of Warcraft

<hold up hand>

Yup, I play WOW. I've played it since it's release in Feb 2005, on an almost daily basis. Thankfully Mrs BGG plays as well. We've had tremendous fun so far, plenty of new content to keep you busy (10,000 quests, 5K per side). Challenging at all levels of play. Easy to get in to...impossible to put down (just another 10 mins...lol).

We run our own Guild on a server, with a bunch of mates we have known for the last year. All mature players, in either age or outlook. No "ZOMGNINJA PWNS LEET KIDZ WITH MADSKILLZ" in our guild. Just good mates who like to help each other and have a few beers and have a good game.

We have our own domain name for the website, plus we hire a Teamspeak Server so we can chat real time on raids and hunts (and work more tactically together).

As for "problems"...nah...all the teething "new game" problems went after the first 6 months or so. The game runs fine. 5 million players and counting...WOW is the definitely the biggest and best (to date).

We did try DDO when it came out as we love D&D, but that WAS seriously buggy and had about 3 days worth of content to keep you interested. Might revisit it in a year or so. Until then, and until Saga of Heroes, it's WOW FTW ! (For the Win)

Back on track...

DBNO ... fond memories.

I remember the day I outed him and we drove him away. That glorious summer of 2002 when most of us were 'resting'.

Trip down memory lane ...

Fleet,
Like Alf W said after the dot con burst many of us were suffering the aftermath. James and co. started the original board (the one before the old board). PF was a legend and suffered the wrath of the revenue. Poor guy. Never knew what happened at the end due to him getting banned on all forums (including PCG).

OBL25 was working in Geneva and was ganged up on by his Swizz colleagues. He was ejected from there.

The Rodgerer Of Rabbits was hilarious and gave good accurate tax advice. Got done by his work place. This site is on their prohibited list of web sites. Jokes about his Russian wife were funny (not mail order - HONEST !).

HHH gets banned within 1 hour of coming back on here. Fiddle did some funny photos of HHH.

MikeTheBike always denied having a caravan

Did you want me to continue because this will get long ?
Honourable mentions to:
Fiddle/Threaded. The picture archives are classics waiting to be discovered by new memebers on here !!

The farmer invasion. Pappy what-his-face. The ultimate champagne socialist. Think prescot but with 20 houses.

Alexei. The other one. I always thought he was AtW's brother but he wasn't.

DebbieReinvented. First online accountant for us lot. Shame she sold it and lives in Italy now. She had pics and it's a nice pad !!

Rebecca Loos. Probably legging back to Kiwi land with all her tax money

The Valentine poem contest

I could go on but you're bored I know
Niall, Stephen Rees, etc. have all being mentioned already.

pF still posts on Shout99 if it is the same chap. Always ranting about Scumvernment. Though he seems to have calmed down of late which is why I wonder if it is the same chap.

[AtW]

OBL25 is now mailman.

Rebecca Loos has always been one of the many threaded's account.

I thought HHH was in hospital with a broken neck?
