Jack Thompson oughta see this. He needs to see the positive side of video games. As has been said multiple times, the game allows this kid to be a hero, to step outside of the bounds that reality has placed on him if only temporarily. It's a powerful thing…

I played DiabloII with a girl who had a brain tumor. I don't really have a point, but I'm wondering what happened to her.

But yeah, cool stuff. If I was going to die I would love to make some kind of history.
My blawgh.

I thought this was going to be something I cared about.

(PS, WoW also allows you to be a ruthless badguy, as far as I remember.)

I'm sure you have WoW confused with a game you actually know something about.


On topic: That's great. Despite what people say, Blizzard isn't just a huge money grubbing company pumping out crappy stuff for their mediocre MMO. It's a money grubbing company with a heart.

Isn't Horde like bad guys, and Alliance like good dudes.


I dunno, I haven't met evil undead dudes that weren't bad guys before.

If by "bad dudes" you mean "bad players" then you are 100% correct. :v:
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

The only 'evil' races are the Undead and Blood Elves, and even then that's stretching it.

Humans in WoW are pretty evil. Honestly if there's a "Good" and "Evil" in Warcraft, the Horde is Good and the Alliance is Evil.

Undead and Belves are the exception of course.

Fine.

But you can still play a bad guy in WoW. :P

Actually, the storyline and quests force your character to be good.

The Undead just want everyone to be undead like them. Living races should take it as a compliment.

And wow, calling people evil just because they have an addiction problem? Come on. Some are trying to get better, you know.

The only evil race is the gnomes. Always tinkering... they're up to something.
