The wow - effect

World Of Warcraft. 

Still going strong. Or downhill.. Or so it feels, especially if you check the auction house... God damn f*** the economy world wide off and online if you ask me. You have to work way more than around the clock to make it in this world (of warcraft). Or just be a pro from birth.?
Which I am definitely not, and I will never be, most likely.. I can't even level up in Pokemon Go for f******** S****...
Moving on!
I started my first wow character in 2009, didn't really understand what the big deal was about this game back then, and to be honest, I really don't get it now either.. I had a loooooong break, but 2 years ago I started playing again, because I had nothing better to do... Simple as that. And what happened two years ago? Yes, Covid! You're right. Hmm, when I think about it, I started gaming wow again before covid hit... So that makes it more than 2 years ago hmm. But, LET'S SAY that I started gaming wow when covid hit, that sounds way better.
Anyway, now, after playing this game on and off for 2 years, mostly ON, I still haven't made it to level 60, because I found out that I did not like playing as a druid... I started a new character, which is a hunter, suits me better, even tho I kinda miss some of my druid skills, but, you can't have both in one character.. Obviously.

Anyway, I'm gonna level up my druid to 60 soon. I just want to level my hunter to 50-something first. 
Here's my hunter below (without her animals..)

The strange thing is, that even though I still don't quite understand the obsession for this stupid game, I have actually been reading more about WOW these past 2 years than.. Well, I have been reading more WOW related stuff than school related stuff, like ever.. And, let's see, I went to school for hmmm, about 16 years all in all. Isn't that pretty sad? 😅
It gets even more sad when I'm still not an expert on wow. There's so much stuff I haven't even heard about... But jesus only knows I have spent hours upon hours leveling up my mining skills etc, so, at least I feel like I'm doing everything I can to make my game time worth my money (...).
I've (also) read that it takes pretty much forever and a lifetime to get it all settled in this game, so I have learned that I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I've made it this far, and I'm... Well, not proud, like you would be proud of a masters degree, but, mmmyeah, it's pretty similar. I am proud. And I will be more proud prettyyyy soon!

The wow - effect tho... I don't actually like wow, but I kinda love it, at the same time it wouldn't be on my top 10 best games list, at all. It's pretty weird. I'm very like; ahhhh when I get this done and get that pet and I just need to put this item up at the auction house and do that dungeon so I can maybe get these items and... Then I can level up my everything, and after that, then I can finally play the beauty of the game! 

Is it just me and South Park, or does it feel like this until you hit level 60 or just have tons of gold?? Just so you know, I am broke as a rats ass, still. And jesus knows I have been (trying) farming everything I can farm... I have spent hours upon hour.... Well, yes I've tried to get rich in wow and nope, still not rich - even tho I've been following your farming guides on youtube dudes! Every single one of you, not kidding... Still, no money in ma pocket 😆 (I know it depends your realm and stuff, but..mehh.)
Referring to the amazing and legendary South Park episode... I feel them, this is the game where you can spend 70 hours killing the same stupid creatures over and over and over, hoping for a prize 😅

This is some of my thoughts about World Of Warcraft... Some ironic obviously. I do like the game, it's shiny and the scenery is beautiful. I just wish I was better at it I guess, haha. My favorite thing is probably collecting pets, they are so cute I just wanna crochet'em all. I love pet battles, I wish I could battle and collect on my phone...hint hint, wow pets Pokémon go - ish app?

I really do wish I will hit level 60 soon and I also wish I had more wow -  friends. Don't hesitate to add a comment if you wanna be friends in the world (of warcraft, only, obviously!) or if you just want to share any of your tips and tricks, remember, even though I've been reading a lot about this and have characters next to 60 I still feel like a noob, and I still veeery much am... 😎

Until next game... XOXO Empress Of Norway
