I got my world of warcraft account a few months ago when I was at school. I found the game online when I was sick and bored, so I decided to give it a try. I got a free trial and that was it, I was hooked. Since I have been home for the summer, I have had a lot more time to play and to build my reputation. Sure, I am not one of those people who never sees day light, and I don't stay up all night to play, but I really enjoy this game a lot and I guess lately with not much else to discuss, I have been talking it up a lot with my friends and family. First I was telling my dad about it, and he decided to get a wow account and then I was talking to a friend of mine that I hadn't seen in a while and she said that a friend of hers showed her a place to buy wow accounts online, and that was it she was hooked.

Now some people like my mother don't deal well with a role playing game like this. She just thinks it is silly, but for those of us who are into it, there is no better game in the world. I have a bunch of friends through wow and I even met my current boyfriend through there. And you will be surprised there are lots of professionals that play World of Warcraft. I have actually met a nurse and a lawyer, both in my local area who play, so it is a very popular game that seems to rope in people from all walks of life.

The bottom line is that life is too serious to not have some fun, and I love role playing because you can be whoever you want and you can do whatever you want, even if it is not appropriate in your real life. That, I think more than anything is what is so attractive about games like this; they give you a break from your own reality and let you be extraordinary, even if only for a little while, and heck it beats all the other things that people are using to escape real life, doesn't it?
