the Best and Worst of World of Warcraft

Right now, I really hate WoW. I probably won’t give it up, but PISSED. The expansion came out and I played for about 18 hours a day for 3 days to make the new level cap, 85. Good stuff in the expansion etc, but my character isn’t geared to go any further. So, I figure I will go and get a good weapon, and move from there. So, I set my eyes on this little beauty:

Thing would just be money for my Shadow Priest. So, you can get it via the new “Archeology” skill where you run around and dig shit up, and put it together.

Well, I’ve dug up half the fahkin continent for 2 weeks now, and no staff. Dwarven Dice, diapers, some half assed mug that conjures up dancing Dwarves, I have a pet raptor and some boney raptor that I can ride around on, no staff.

FU Blizzard, I want my damn Staff.

However, I did hear about this story from my brother this weekend, and I think it is the best thing I’ve ever heard.

Apparently there was this nice lady who played a Horde character, and achieved Officer status in her guild. She loved the snow, and fishing. She played on a Player v. Player server, which means you attack other players, as opposed to PVE servers where you focus on killing monsters. Anyway, this unfortunate woman had a stroke and died. But her guild decided it would be nice to have a funeral for her in the game, and so they went up to this area she liked to fish in. They all lined up and had a parade in her honor.

That’s when a bunch of other dudes came out of the woods and slaughtered every single player at the funeral. As stated at Games Radar:

This is where things got out of hand. Once Alliance guild Serenity Now got word of the event, they decided to crash the Horde e-Funeral, earning many honorable kills for their most dishonorable attack. Some have argued that while Serenity Now’s actions can’t be described as right, they didn’t really do anything wrong. This may have been a funeral for a friend, but it was an “in-game” funeral on a PvP server where slaying players from the opposing faction is a big part of the game. In this sense, Serenity Now’s raid on the Horde funeral didn’t break any rules.

But rules were broken on that day, social rules that fall outside the artificial boundaries of “in-game” rules. These are the same rules that separate us from savages – and they’re the reason why most of you wouldn’t gather a group of friends together to piss on a stranger’s grave at their funeral. What say you? Were Serenity Now’s actions hilarious or horrible?

Screw social rules, that is HILARIOUS. Seriously, it is a game people, relax. If I die in game or out, I hope Dreadbeard (our own Claymore) will throw me a kicking party for a funeral. I hope this band plays there:
