| Sheesh, beat a dead horse much?

In summation:

- I play WoW in chunks of 15 - 45 minutes and because of how the quest system is designed, I can actually achieve meaningful results in that time. This is WHY WoW is the perfect game for the 15 minute chunks.

- I have not grouped or traded with anyone since I resurrected DocNorvell at level 43. He is now level 61. Grouping or trading is not necessary.

- Much the same way as the world is full of people that I never group or trade with, Rudy certainly hit part of the experience on the head: the fact that there are people, real people, doing their thing elsewhere in the game offers a certain level of enjoyment as well.

- Just because it is an MMORPG does not mean that if you don't MM, you are missing the point of the game. The game is fantastic all on it's own and does not need to have anything to do with MM. Really.

- Another solid point by Rudy: Watch movies on your big TV, play Giganten, read Atlas Shrugged, grow vegetables; do whatever you want to do to have fun and unwind your way. Much the same way as you would recommend a place to eat, or a book to read, or a beer to drink that you enjoy and know that I would enjoy, I am simply offering (demanding?) WoW as a fun game that I think you would enjoy.

- Curt Shilling has since left ASL in the dust somewhat due to his early obsession with Everquest. He has since purchased Multi-Man Publishing, or a majority of it, but no longer really does much ASL because he has become obsessed with WoW and started a videogame company with Todd McFarlane (of Spawn creator 'fame') called 38 studios. They are developing, you guessed it, a MMORPG.
