Second Life

Well, whenever I'm playing WoW this basically happens.

I send my voidwalker out to attack, then I press 4, 3, 2 to curse them with my dots, and then I press 1 and attack them with shadow bolt until they die. The combat isn't very interesting.

I know I said World of Warcraft bored me guys.

But I got together a team of five, my warlock, two priests, a warrior, and a mage, and we took on ragefire chasm yesterday, until three in the morning. It kind of grew on me. I blame Mississippi. You'd resort to WoW to if you lived down here. I know WoW is really a game, unlike Second Life, which is a chat room. But there is a strong social element in it. I don't know why Darla would think Second Life is any more creepy than JPP.

I'm not dating anyone on it, at least, but I actually know a guy who lost his virginity to a girl he met over WoW. Hey, it's movin' on up.

Because people come here, mainly, to express and argue political opinions. From what I gathered from the one article I read about it, people go there to actually create another life, an online life. Maybe I am just more comfortable in this format. The political arena is the only place I've even used a message board in. I have made friends, and even met some of them.

But there is something about the other that would make me uncomfortable I think. Also as i said, political message boards don't by definition attract predators and con artists.

And also as you so kindly pointed out in another thread, I'm old, in techno terms. out of the loop. Left behind. Befuddled.

I played Morrowind for a really, really, long time on XBox...and I never played the main quest.

I liked how slick Oblivion looked, but once I finished the main quest, I didn't want to play it anymore.

Go figure.

Morrowind was really a game of endless wandering. Oblivion, with it's fast travelling and stuff like that, never really bored you enough to where you just stuck in one town and did all of the quests in it. But because they incorporated the quest arrows it really just made the side quests following the arrows, killing something, and bringing something back to the quest giver.

Also, Oblivion was levelled... which made a big difference. You could walk anywhere and kill anything no matter how far you were. Morrowind, in comparison, just felt SOOO much more dangerous and mysterious, because you couldn't see forever into the distance, and at low levels even those damn cliff racers could kill you. Also, there really wasn't anything more fun than searching out things, instead of following a little arrow on the map. There've been mods to get rid of the arrow, but because the game wasn't designed without the arrow in mind, there's no description of where you should go, and quests become almost impossible without it.

Oh, and I skipped right over this. I think you answered your own question right here Water.

He didn't lose anything, trust me.

No, she was his girlfriend for a while, and she's actually moving to Mississippi now.

It's true though, I admit it. I don't know what the hell is going on in cyberspace anymore.

The comment just reminded me of these reporters talking about instant messaging on the news, and saying how boring and stupid it was. I dunno. I prefer instant messaging to talking over the phone. It gives you as much time as you want to respond, and you don't have to interrupt someone to do it. It's just more casual. Myspace is the same, really. It's just something to pass 10 minutes on a day.

Ohhh, they are meeting. Well, that's sweet then, I hope it works out. That's different.

They've already met. He actually lost his virginity to her. They've went on dates and stuff, and staid together for a month. WoW doesn't allow user to have "avatar sex", if it did it would quickly become something of a vulgar porn site.

Ok, I got it.
 
I guess WoW, for me, is kind of different, because I talk mainly to people I know and work around and game with them. It's so big it's made a really big penetration into even Mississippi. It's basically a way to have fun, just like going out and getting wasted. Also, none of the stupid rednecks are intelligent enough to use it, so it's only the good people on there. People on Second Life go there, I think, primarily because they want friendship.
