OT-World of Warcraft

[lamour]

I have a 60 human mage and 41 dwarf hunter on Zul'jin, a 28 troll shaman and 22 undead rogue on Bloodscalp, and a handful of other characters on other servers, but none on Argent Dawn. I've rarely played anything other than my mage since I rolled it. Mages rock.

Aural Moon FTW! ;-)

Man, all my friends are playing it, but I don't want to shell out the cash! I also don't want to spend the time, either.

WHAT IS THIS GIBBERISH?

This thread reads like one of those gobbledegook code worded email SPAMs.

Doesn't seem much different than some of the techie threads.

I have no idea either (like my children's card tournaments), but at least I find it entetaining to read.

It's a game (if that isn't obvious :P). A massive multi-user game, obviously based on some sort of Tolkienish medieval fantasy setting. Levels (53), races (human, troll), and character classes/professions (mage, rogue) reflect some sort of Dungeons'n'Dragons style system, I suppose. And the heart of the game is obviously "hack'n'slash": you beat monsters (and other players), obtain better equipment (like weapons) for your character, gain experience (usually by beating the monsters), and advance in levels -- become better and tougher.

The other posts in this thread mention servers: so the game is obviously massive enough to have been distributed on several servers.

More or less similar games are, for example, Ultima Online and Everquest. The trendy term for this sort of games is MMORPG, or MMO*.

I have never played any of these particular games, so I might be wrong.
