10 Signs You Have an MMO Problem

1. Ever said the phrase "bio", "inc" or "wtb" in real life? No? What about a line that is a default character sound like "need more rage" or "I can't do that yet!" and had no one around you understand what you meant?


2. You have an article of clothing that specifically references something only people who play a certain MMO would know (IE: "If you're reading this, it's probably a patch day" or "Home is where the hearthstone is" or "I'm not a nerd, I'm a level 80 Druid.")


3. You have to remind yourself to ''bring your friends to Azeroth, but don't forget to go outside Azeroth with them as well!''


4. You have ever canceled a social engagement in favor of raiding or playing the game. In fact, you have gotten socially anxious because you know you are missing raid time or haven't logged in and used your rested for a few days.


5. An ideal relationship is one in which there is a tank and a healer.


6. You've spent any amount of time watching "dungeon runs" or "dungeon wipes" on Youtube.


7. When trying to explain to others why the MMO you play is better than any other MMO, you realize that they are all more or less the same game. Except for Wildstar, Wildstar is way better than all of them.


8. You have joined a social network or dating site tailored to players of your favorite MMO.


9. You have ever gone to a low-level zone and camped the opposing faction after a terribly frustrating day at work.


10. Characters in every game are now "toons."

A Bit of A Wait: Cataclysm Launch

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 1/8 Bits

What the fuck, Blizzard? When is Cataclysm going to be released? An even better question: When are you going to TELL us when Cataclysm is going to be released? I don't even care that it's not out yet, I just wanna know when it will be. :] Thanks!

A Bit of Real Life: The Guild

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 8/8 Bits

I was scanning through my netflix instant view list the other day when I ran upon a little gem called "The Guild". Thinking "Ho Hum, another nerdy TV show" I flicked it on to watch while I ran instances in WoW. Instantly, I was smitten. The adorable lead actress Felicia Day (also seen in Doctor Horrible's Singalong Blog as Penny), AKA Codex, starts the show by speaking into her V-Log regarding the unlikely appearance of one of her Guild Members (Zaboo) on her front door step professing his undying love for her.

A Bit of Obsession: World of Warcraft

HOW MANY BITS, MERCER? 8/8 BITS!

I have a serious problem that seems to occur about as regularly as doctor's appointments do for hypochondriacs. Not only do I have ONE character that I have devoted a solid 3 months to leveling (explained later in post), but I also have 8 others on that realm (a server) and several on another realm. Not only has my life been consumed by this game, but so has that of my boyfriend, one of my bestfriends, and a plethora of friends that I have made through other blogging sites.
