Blizzard and the death of the casual gamer.
This probably doesn't interest most of you on my LJ friends list, but oh well. I just feel the need to rant. This rant is based partly on baseless conjecture, partly on a variety of interviews given by the Starcraft II team on www.ign.com. Here goes

WoW is perhaps the game I put alot of time into. Admittingly, it takes a LONG time for those of us slower-paced gamers to get to 60 in that game. I only hit 60 about a month ago, and thats only because I grinded out to 58 in Silithis for about 5 - 6 HOURS just trying to get to 58 (the lowest level you can get into the Outlands in).
I'm now at 61. And I've had several in my guild tell me just how "easy" it is to get to 70. Not really, not for those of us who take this game at a more leasurely pace, and try to absorb more of the game at a time. My goal is to get to 70, eventualy. But I'm not going to rush it (but if I have help, I'll certinly get there faster).
Regardless, rant or not you make a good point. You can't really play WoW, much less invest in it, without investing alot of time into it. Admittinly, I've gained quite a few friendships through this game (Infact, I'm going to St. Louis to meet up with most of the guildies. They have a guild meetup every year around July 1st.). Hell, after I went to Chicago, and met up with some of the UTers from there, I found myself more attached to the guild and the game than I was before.
*shrugs* There's my random in and out ness for ya.
