How far into the rabbit hole do you want to go?
Filed under: MMORPG News, Opinion | No Comments »
Many people play games to escape reality, to hang out with distant friends or just to have fun. These people log in to the game, quest, explore, buy and sell on the AH and in some cases perform a bizarre ritual dance on top of the mailbox. This is the basic way to enjoy the game you play. Every game out there has a greater depth to it. There is a way to traverse the limits of cyberspace and take your game to the next level, to dive deeper into the game.
Many people tend to go to forums. Tread lightly fellow adventurer the game forums can be a wretched hive of scum and villainy ready to devour the innocent. You may be able to find the occasional useful post among a sea of whining. Usually you can find good player created guides that can help you start off your character, or to even help you finish off those final talent points. Blogs are another source, there are many sites available. Some are done really well, some not so much. The great thing about most blogs is that you can tap into a regular guys experience about your game of choice. Some blogs are written by hard core gamers if that’s what you’re into. Whatever you need there probably is a blog for you.
There is yet another form of delving deeper into the worlds of our games. Podcasts are an entertaining way to gain a deeper understanding of the game, as well as listen to other people who share your passion for the game. Podcasts are also great because you can listen to them in the car, while jogging or even exercising. I prefer to read fan sites, blogs and listen to podcasts. It’s a great way to gain a further understanding of the game. Whatever you choose there are many ways to immerse yourself further into the virtual world.
