I was pounding the Thunderbrew Lagers last weekend, whew!

But seriously, some people really don’t get that it is a social thing. They say that video games are antisocial, but I hang out with friends and family most night, we just happen to be in different places.

Facebook is a lifesaver, but it’s not the social experience I get in WoW.

I just wish it were easier to play on the same server with people.

About a year ago I moved across the continent and to a different country in order to be with my husband while he finishes grad school. The only people I really know here are my husband’s fellow grad students, and while I like them I’ve only become good friends with one of them – and it just so happens that she’s the one who also plays WoW. (Go figure, right? LOL) This means that most of my social life happens online. I mean, half the time I’m not even “gaming”, I’m just chatting with my friends via a shiny, graphical, instant message system. :)

Plus I keep telling her how social it is and how we hang with my brother. And heck he’s in college so at least we’re keeping him from wild drunken parties every weekend right? My in laws I think are a little less tolerant but they live far away too. I figure if Rev and I are happy, and Nomster gets attention, nobody else gets a say.

The people I knew where I used to live are far away, and so I’m stuck in a town with no friends. WoW is a great social outlet when you have nothing else, I’ve made some great friends through it, and I also have a brother who plays.

I find it’s difficult to find friends as an adult. At work I’m the in-between person so no one to hang out with after work. We get along fine during work, but most of them are 40-55 with kids/teenagers or there are a couple of guys who are 20-22. Me, I’m single and 30, so I don’t really hang out with either crowd once work finishes *lol*

So, for me – I’m happy with WoW. I socialise with my brother there, I have an old friend from where I used to live that I raid with on an alt on weekends – and of course I have my own guild and some really good friends there as well. People who don’t think WoW is social, don’t know what they’re talking about. I agree about the comment regarding being more social on WoW than when watching TV. My mom always complains that I spend time on WoW (she doesn’t get it), but she’ll easily waste several hours every evening watching TV, then she calls *me* unsocial! It’s a good thing she doesn’t see exactly how much time I spend on WoW. I could never ever live with her hehe

I love getting random emails at work about the game or life or whatever! WoW and the people in it are awesome! This reminds me- why haven’t I stalker ID’d you yet : )
