My Recent Wow Activities

Goblin motto: Time is money, friend!

Goblin motto: Time is money, friend!

I was thinking to write a long long post about my life in WOW
from start, and the change of view thru my advance to the top, (I mean high level, I am not a top player and never will be)….

Umm, as you can see I changed my mind,
reasons, it’s kinda boring, like some one bragging how strong they are.
And it is chopped into parts, since I always change from aspect to aspect, from alts to alts

Currently I am on a little project on WOW’s economics
with the knowledge about the game, really helps a lot on this

I was making money on selling off farmed materials,
and hard earn the money…

I had playing a while in the Aution Hall once a while before,
but not for long…
(okay, it’s already some keyword most of the non-WOW player don’t know, my fault, I’ll explain soon)
We had played with leveling, quest, instance, and raid
currently. And Thanks, it had been fun, but gotta tired about it for the moment….

so I am messing with trading now…
because of what mr. Skrooge is doing (the AH Gnome’s work)

This is my little toons representing me for all my trade
and
of course, She’s a scientist in her Draenei Heart
We do this for science!
(and fun….
Ok, and profit, of course)

So, Let the Research Begin!

My Research Representative

On a side note:
A top auctioneer would said that she shouldn’t spend much on her outfit, but to put in investment instead.

for Reference,
leveling to level100 engineering for the goggle use up 6g60s,
the flower 5s
sum up to around 7g
Better than most alternative for a head slot for a lv 10 character in my view,

And the most important part,
it’s fun, and fit her.
(she does throw a lot of dynamics on mob
when she level to lv10 to get those glasses on.
A research psycho sounds nice to me, anyone?)

and the kitten?
I always got one for all my alts,
in case they are bored,
and I always consider that’s the same kitten though

My Wow Life

As Said in previous two post,
I seldomly talk about my game life in here
But recently I think that it’s kinda part of me now
(And if anyone notice, I do start posting more about the game here as well)

I had been playing this game for one-two years,
why I mentioned this less,
well, I was thinking about focusing on RL (real life) thoughts in here.
and trying to cut out the little little things,
apparently some random thoughts as well
that’s why i build a second blog on stuff.zekta.com
(As mentioned by BRK on his post on bloggers (Oops it’s Daniel now))

I always want to write an article about world of warcraft
Most of my readers here (as If I’ve got a lot)
had not play the game nor even played online game once,
I guess

That’s why i am hestated to put content about it here…
But recently I had some thoughts from there,
and hardly to describe without talking about the game there…

One of the reason is BRK’s leaving, what strike me is the “REAL LIFE” to game relationship (from the event that I really got my toons/charactor show thanks to him, on the real world)

Another reason strike me , is the I dig out a draft of mine on July 2008
with a line… “I always want to write an article about world of warcraft.”
So I guess it’s time for me to do so…

So, here we go, We’ll start talking about it soon.

Me, Virtual World and the Real one

And There was Light.

And There was Light.

I had been involving in the online game for about,
say ten years now
and yes, I use the term “involving” not “playing” for a reason

There are some periods times I had not played the game, but by managing one, and developing some of the aspect

My Staff and me in UO

My Staff and me in UO

I started the whole deal with the game Ultima Online

back then, private server are legal (as is now for Ultima Online)
(We kept hosting them, as soons as people likes it and it’s legal. I don’t like crossing the line)

From a admin pov, one will come up with many thoughts.
A view from high land.
Some question keep appear on my head,
Why they keep playing, and keep spending time on the same thing again and again
Why a virtual item become so value to them, while we gm can just add it with a single command

The bond of a person to his/her character, to his/her friend, and to the society

Britain Bank aka Bbank for short

Britain Bank aka Bbank for short

The Virtual world is a abstracted level of real world,
but with the people with the same urges, desires, needs
It become a good place to learn
especially one have lesser thing to loss and experiment

I learn much there, and even had a project in uni soley on the topic “virtual reality”, online culture is forming in the same extend as online games. technology advanced, but people will remain the same.

Well, behavior will change, but the reasoning, the driving force will remain the same.

Ps. Scarcity , is one of the answer of my questions
It was until I read the book of adam smith to understand that

Ps2. if you read till here, thanks for your time on reading this post.
