WoW: Pre-Impressions
Last night, I received an invitation to beta test Blizzards newest game, World of Warcraft. Many kudos to kwc for working his magic, once again.
At around 11:00, the downloading began. I tried to sleep, but ended up working on this web page more than getting rest. In any case, I slept in too long for it to be reasonable for me to play in the morning.
I'm going to try to record my reflections on the game here from a very newbie POV. This will be my first taste of an MMORPG (although I've played my fair share of the Japanese style RPGs). I know a little bit of what to expect from watching Pad, glynnenstein, and Din play FFXI, but really I don't have a whole lot to compare it with. I'm a virgin to this world, and I'll write about it with as much of that virginal purity as I can.
