Playing right

I can't seem to avoid the feeling that I'm playing wrong. But can one play wrong?

play  

  (plays

plural & 3rd person present, playing present participle, played  past tense & past participle)

verb  

When children, animals, or perhaps adults play, they spend time doing enjoyable things, such as using toys and taking part in games.

So I think the question here is the feeling. I can't be playing wrong since I'm doing what I enjoy and I love to take part when ever I can. The atmosphere in-game is what gives me the feeling. To put it simple, it seems that you are judged as a human being by your achievement points, gemming, enchanting, reforging, knowledge of tactics, skills in PvP, and the time and effort you are willing to put in the game. I just can't adjust to that.

I love playing together with friends and luckily I have a few who are willing to just have fun playing and chatting and slowly learning things by doing. Competition just isn't my piece of Azeroth.

Music makes you fly

I don't listen to music when I play WoW but every time I hear this song, it makes me think some of the amazing landscapes of Azeroth. This one on the other hand reminds me of all the fights and those thousands of times a friend has saved my ass.

I prefer more clothes and more black->

Emperors old clothes

Yes, I did play with Barbies as a child ^^

The men and women of Azeroth

The game attracts a lot of different kinds of people. If someone says that they know exactly what kind of people play WoW, they're wrong.

Men. Most of them are unwelcoming when I first address them in conversation. But I'm persistent, particularly in kindness. Usually when they find out that I'm a woman, the tone of conversation changes. And when they find out that I'm 36 years old, married and my husband also plays WoW, the tone changes again and a lot of times the conversation ends there. ^_^  The youngest boy I've talked with in-game was 13. That's almost the same age as my oldest child and don't want to socialize and play with kids that age. Oldest man (that I know of) is my husband <3. I've been fortunate enough to meet some smart and well-behaved 20-year-olds but I've have to say that they are a minority in that age group. Some of the worst loudmouths I've met are around that age. Most guys at their thirties are nice and well mannered, seen some life and are educated, in other words good company.

Women. This is a bit tough nut for me... I've played together with my husband a lot and every now and then I've been missing girl friends in-game, I think it's because none of my irl girl friends play WoW. When I started to play, I met a woman from my country, I chatted with her quite regularly. She was really nice and helped me along my questing. Since then she has moved most of her characters to Alliance side and I haven't seen her much. Then I met H. in-game, she is a really nice girl but she stopped playing WoW for some time ago. I've recently met some girl-gamers from my country too but I'm dissapointed! For some reason I thought I would have SO much FUN playing and chatting with other girls but no. I like to socialize, do they? I'm not looking for a man for myself in-game, are they? I don't want to make it in the mens world by being 'one of the guys', do they? I don't know, I'm a bit puzzled.

But still I'm not saying that I know what kind on people play WoW. I'm saying that I've met some interesting people who happen to play WoW too. ^^

All my my favourite mates in the same pic.

He's one of the nicest guys I've met in this game and he dresses well too ^^

My LockLady in front. Tiny Honey stated that he should always be seen in this blue outfit ^^

Spooning with best friends ^^

He's my ugly troll druid, my first Healer at level 85. Cute as a kitten here ^^

My First Tank at 85. Noob, but so lovely.

I must warn you all, I love pretty things <3. I'm not into achiements, realm first's, DPS meters as much as I'm into pretty screenshots, transmogging and making friends ^^

My journey

It was chrismas holiday 2010 when I started to play. My first character was warlock, a female undead. After that came many others, since I leveled quite fast with recruit-a-friend. Now I have 4 characters at level 85 and six other little ones, all Hordes. I tried Alliance for a while, it was fun but irl friends were on the Horde side.

I've met a lot of people in Azeroth, very nice people and also some very unpleasant ones. This world has given me an insight to mens world, since we women still are a minority in the game. I enjoy talks with the people I meet and I want to think that I also learn something of humanity while doing so.
