Lately I havent been doing much photography, and the main reason for that (besides the obvious time it takes being a father to a newborn) is playing World of Warcraft. This game is dangerously addictive, just like any title Blizzard has released. Being an old fan of the Diablo 2 game I felt immediately that WOW was going to be good. I tried the beta version when they opened the Europe beta test and was hooked overnight. They have found a great balance of story, characters, questing, building your character, skills, professions, spells and social gaming. Some people say the graphics are too simple, but I think it works excellent for this type of game, a bit cartoonish and fairytale-like. Being able to join parties to solve tough quests is also required in this game, its pretty hard to do the elite quests solo unless you are a much higher level player than the monsters (or "mobs" as they are called in the jargon). The auction house allows you to trade stuff also, and I think they have found a very good system to keep the economy in control so that those gold, silver and coppers are actually worth something. I like the fact that you can play it the way you want, hard core quester, farming for items, or build your professions through practice and getting new recipies. Even stopping for some fishing is nice to do in this game! So if you feel your photography interest has been down a bit, nothing better than to fill your time with some World of Warcraft! :)
