world of warcraft:Level 80 Grandma
I am a 65-year-old grandmother and have been playing World of Warcraft since October of 2006. Why, you ask? Well, let me start from the beginning.
I took early retirement wow powerleveling in late 2005 to take care of my ailing husband (who by the way also plays World of Warcraft). After working for so many years, it was hard to find ways to keep myself busy and the days became pretty boring and repetitious. Our youngest daughter, her husband, and stepdaughter were already playing World of Warcraft for quite some time, and one evening when we were visiting them, our daughter suggested taking home a 10-day free trial disc and seeing if we liked playing the game. If we decided we enjoyed playing, they would get us into the guild that our son-in-law started (Clan of the Toes) and help us to learn all the ins and outs of playing and leveling.
Well, needless to say, we enjoyed playing so much that it is now 2009 and we are still going strong! I, myself, have two level-80 characters, and six more that are 70+. By no means am I as fast nor as good as my younger counterparts, but I enjoy playing at wow power level my own speed and abilities. A few people that I have grouped up with to do dungeons and instances have asked me my age and when I tell them, they are floored! I have had nothing but positive input about my playing and others wish that they had parents/grandparents playing with them.
Besides our daughter's family playing, we also have two grandsons from another daughter playing World of Warcraft on the Illidan realm, and another daughter and grandson playing on Laughing Skull that live in another state. Might you say that we have a family-based game-playing experience going on? You bet and we love it! I firmly believe in the old adage "the family that plays together, stays together."
Also while we're playing the game, we talk to each other via a voice program which helps us all work together on quests, dungeons, and instances in a constructive manner, plus it allows us to keep in touch with each other.
I really have to say that playing AION kinah
World of Warcraft has kept my mind sharp by making me think about my moves while playing, and my reaction time may be sharper than if I wasn't playing this game. Will I be giving up playing anytime soon? Not as long as I can make my fingers work the keyboard, and my brain can function well enough to quest and reasonably keep up with younger family members! I love being the World of Warcraft playing grandma, and I'll be around for quite some time. See you in-game!
