5 reasons why you should play World of Warcraft (WoW)

Hi guys. It's been a while. If you were wondering what I've been up to, then, well, the title of this post pretty much gives it away. Oh, I've also been perving at nubile young children giving tuition. Exciting, huh? I've never felt so fulfilled before.

Hence, it is my honour to attempt to share my pleasure with you.

5 reasons why you should totally play WoW:

Point 1

It's a lot better than, say, Maplestory. Maplestory's 2D, what century are you living in? And there's no PvP (that means player versus player for those less game-inclined) platform either, which means that if you want to get rid of that annoying noob (amateur/lesser being) who's been ks-ing (killing and stealing things which should have been yours), your best bet is to lure a mob (uh, monster thing that you kill to gain experience and level up) and hope that it kills the noob for you. Is that wimpy, or is that wimpy?

Another example: Cabal. Ok, it gets dibs for cool arcade game action while killing mobs but it is nowhere near WoW when it comes to graphics. It’s got pretty and rather overly-intricate character designs, no doubt, but it’s textures completely pale in comparison to WoW's. Also, too much grinding (mindless levelling up) involved.

Of course there are the H games which certain people here play, but that’s on a whole different level altogether. A level which we shall ignore today. -_- (of course, if you go for *that* kinda thing, then WoW isn't a bad option either cuz some of the armor pieces... don't really look like they offer as much protection as they claim to...)

Point 2

You will not get tan lines from playing WoW! People suffer from the misconception that when you play mmorpgs you’ll tend to look sickly and/or overweight and just generally unhealthy. Riiight. Take the picture below, for instance. Who looks the nicest among the lot? (where “nice” = “having an even skin tone that does not make you look like Micheal Jackson shedding his fake white skin”)

The answer is obvious. Ha! See, you can play WoW and *still* look great on the beach. (In theory this works. Most of the players I know, however, haven't been to a beach which isn't made of pixels in months. That's besides the point though.)

Point 3

What you see is what you get in WoW. Take the following pic for example. An official WoW wallpaper:

Are the characters ugly? Hell yeah. But this is what they really look like ingame. Of course, there are prettier characters, but this is just an example. Compare it to Cabal though-

Point 4

WoW has generally good gameplay. Quests last you through most levels and there's a great variety of races and classes to choose from. You can go melee, full spell-casting, or a mix of both. And if you don't like the ugly dudes below...





... you can always pick these babes to play-


Point 5

The most important point: a class that plays mmorpgs together, stays together. Seriously, think about it. WoW transcends geographical boundaries and allows people from all over the globe to interact on a common platform. We could party (form a group and go round killing things together) each other, raid (if a party is an elephant, a raid would be a herd of elephants) as a class; the possibilities are endless! Great way to keep in touch, ne?

If you're worried about the $$, I can totally introduce you guys to the server I'm playing on. ^^
