When I first equipped my lightsaber and heard that familiar sound I thought "Oh yes, you and I shall do great things together."

I won't throw out any spoilers, but around level 30 or so ... you show the world just how bad *** you really are.

Trust me on this ... you will NOT be called a slave, ever again. Ever.

reason #1 - Wow sucked in the first place.
Phalanx
The Harbinger
We are playing a game of rock paper scissors.
Quit asking to nerf rock when you are obviously playing scissors.

Pretty funny read, nice job and fairly true even for the Blizzardest of Blizzardy fanboys such as myself. Nothing to say people can't enjoy both though, casual as WoW's gotten.

Now, now don't be hatin. A lot of people enjoy/enjoyed that game. Nothing wrong with that. Their pop culture references are funny and they do a lot to engage their fan base. Any MMO that wants to be successful can certainly learn a lot from WoW's successes and failures.

Very true, but I suspect most are only willing to pay one subscription at a time.

Sith Inquisitors start out being called slave and made to feel crappy and inferior, FWIW. I never felt as insulted in game in WoW as I feel leveling an Inq for the first 10 or so levels.

Interesting read. Thanks.


Yea, I'm only lvl 16, now, but I had better be allowed to kill that SOB eventually... you know who I'm talking about.
