Stories Update

Blizzard has posted two new stories of World of Warcraft players who have had touching moments while playing WoW.

My three sons and I have dabbled with other MMORPGs, and not really gotten hooked. But immediately upon testing World of Warcraft, we fell in love! We were invited to try it by my brother who lives on the other side of the continent. At the same time, my brother was also luring our father away his old MMO. Azeroth has become our daily family reunion, our daily vacation, our frequent anger management therapy (sorry Horde!), and a carrot on a stick that helps motivate us to do our homework.

Soon we added a second computer and a second account to our household, despite mama's protests (we could never get her to convert, sadly). I've had immense fun exploring Azeroth and Outland with our family tribe.

My 14-year-old chose a mighty warrior, and focused completely on leveling him up. He made his uncle and me race to keep up with him in skill and abilities. I often stood in amazement watching him multitask: marking creatures in a dungeon for his party, giving concise commands on which to kill first and which to 'crowd control'; the whole time while managing his own character superbly. He knows all the player classes and often chides me for not using my abilities most efficiently. He is the only one of our family group or circle of online friends to own a Netherdrake! He is driven, and few can stand before him.
