Ambermist of Battlechicken gave the NBIers a new challenge: Why Do You Do What You Do?
This is actually harder than it sounds! The reasons I WoW are the people I WoW with. I can’t easily invite everyone into a Vent or Skype conversation while we flail our way through old and current content. I can’t explain why it was so funny when three of us managed to stay alive for a solid eight minutes after the group wiped during a messy Blackwing Descent pull. I can’t show you my friends and I lowbie PvPing while on a Skype conversation – complete with video so we can see each other’s ridiculous expressions.
Other awesome memories include:
- Taking on Horde cities with the Boyfriend – him on his holy pally, me on my disc priest. Just the two of us slowly working our way through other players until an entire guild comes and smashes our faces in.
- Arenas with my friend and her brother. Two undergeared healers, one pally – what could possibly go wrong?

Dinging 85 on Prim after months and months of lallygagging about, with guildies cheering and helping me quest!
I love just logging in in general. Getting whispers and shouts in guild chat just saying, “hi”. It’s just … happy and positive. I love the friendliness of the people I’ve met. The community is great.
“Fishing Outfits”
Just little, silly things. That’s why I play WoW.


Love it! WoW would be missing a lot without the social aspect. It’s what makes it dynamic. And, of course, I <3 the little, silly things, too!
Great response, thank you!
Aww, I love all of your screenshots! :3 And I definitely agree with you that the people we play with are what keeps us playing. I always feel so lonely and lose motivation to play when friends/guildies are on breaks and quit playing for a while! They make the game fun and alive.
