Today I bought World of Warcraft, thus marking my ascension (or descension?) into Warcraft lunacy.

I will keep you all updated each day where I can in regards to my physical/mental state and whether or not I recieve any of the side effects that A Current Affair/Today Tonight claimed I would get.

Zhang Xiaoyi (poor kid) commited suicide in 2004 after jumping off a 24 story building. They all claim that it was solely because the game which I believe is horse crap. IT'S A GAME. Zhang most likely had other issues that effected him. *** love him.

I'm sick of the media making a fuss over things that happen once and once only, and then state that it's a 'common problem' wtf? We shall see what happens to me then...

I shall post tomorrow ;)

I used to play Everquest... I'm never going to get into online RPG gaming again... took way to much of my life away.

Wooo go Rob!!!

I bought the game Tuesday. Saw its now $30 so I thought why not.

Count play Tuesday as every Tuesday they do the site maintenance.

Tried to play Wednesday night.

Cant play, server was full and when you try to make a character on a full server it does not allow you.

Me and Dave (YDOIT4) are gonna be playing tonight (fingers crossed) around 9PM, come online and we can all help each other out. :D

There are certain servers to go on to man that are way better. Talk to Aimee lol, her beau and herself are hooked haha.

Nothing yet man, she said she has some uni assessments to get through so I took the hint and I've backed off the last 2 days ;)

She know's I'm interested. She is too but she's got stuff on, so the ball's in her court :D. I'm happy either way just thinking of her...

I too have hooked friends. A work colleague is the worst, his girlfriend is overseas at the moment so he just goes home from work and plays it until all hours. The problem isn't his fatigue at work every day, it's the fact he spends most of the day on WoW forums talking to his friends from the game and not doing any work.... just today he tried to pass off a couple of time-consuming jobs onto me because he "didn't have enough time to do them"....

I would confront him and do my crazy eye if he asked me.

Next time you see him posting on the forums ask him what's he doing. Put him on the spot. Everytime you see him on the forums keep on asking him.

Luckly no-one asks me when im looking at TOCA LOL But I can multitalk so that OK.

May as well start...

DAY 1: The Sensible Initiation

Well I've managed to learn the rhetorics of the World of Warcraft universe thanks to a few fellow TOCAU members. I have narrowed down my selection of servers to choose from, and am finalising my choice of race (either human, undead or orc). I have to say I feel different already. I haven't even seen the game and feel something grabbing at my soul. When I venture home tonight I shall re-edit this post and update it, as I will most likely have installed it and begun playing it by then.

Oh believe me, I laid the smackdown. He has now angered 2 customers by telling them that he had to move their appointments to tomorrow.

I can't confront him because I don't work in the same office..... or on the same floor for that matter. But everyone up there that I talk to gets the ****s with his lazyness. And the boss has told him off more than once about internet usage. Last week was a more official sort of warning..... take your laptop home and don't bring it back.

So yeah, be careful Rob, you could turn into a square-eyed Serbian outcast too :blink:

DAY 1: The Sensible Initiation continued...

The game took fecking 2 hours or something to install. Now that that is over with I proceeded to 'sign up' and create an account. I noticed that the colourful picture laden box had "FIRST MONTH OF PLAY INCLUDED" written on it, so I continued and thought I would not have to pay. I thought wrong. I came to the payment section of my account and could go no further until I payed by credit card or with a 'pre-paid' card. I searched high and yonder for a card, or anything other information leading me to the fabled "FIRST MONTH OF PLAY", alas I could not find it though. So I have come to the following conclusions:

1) It is here somewhere but I'm an idiot and can't find it

2) Blizzard are douchebags and write misleading things on there game boxes to entice people into sales, therefore ripping them of their money and re-locating it into their grubby bank accounts so they can pay off their 3rd porsche...

Mental state:

P!ssed and angry. Feel like punching something. Where's John Howard?

Physical state:

I'm doing bicep curls as we speak out of sheer frustration

More updates to come on my WoW journey into insanity.
