world of warcraft
by oBelIX
ok this post is about 1-2 weeks late.
Finally got my hands on World of Warcraft. One of the most anticipated MMORPG’s of all time. (MMORPG – Massively Multiplayer Online Roll Playing Game). Assuming you know what a RPG is, a MMORPG is an extension of it played with tens of thousands, maybe even millions of people online together. Other examples include – Everquest, Neverwinter Nights etc. Course the game had arrived a while back but we never tried it due to lack of people. Even now I was sceptical but we (me, trappi, sham, aziz, tharwani etc) decided to give it a shot anyway.
So first up, about the game
Its set in the warcraft universe. You can either be a member of the Alliance (Dwarves, Gnomes, Humans, NE) or a member of the Horde (Orc, Tauren, Undead and one more). Within these you can either be a rogue, warrior etc … Each of these character classes has various attributes, so if you are a rogue you can be nice and stealthy, a warrior can go front and do melee damage. Depending on your character class you are spawned at a particular location in the wow universe. And believe me the universe is HUGE. Of course at later levels you can always travel using gryphon riders, ships etc …
Gameplay involves gaining levels. Levels are what seem to count. To gain levels you have to get experience which can be got by either completeing quests or creeping. Of course that isnt all. There is inventory i.e. weapons, armour, potions etc. All these you can pick up from creeps, make on your own or buy from the markets (for gold). To earn money you can take up a job (blacksmith, miner, fisherman etc) or just creep. Basically the gameplay is supposed to be great. There are spells, magic items, abilities and all sorts of nice stuff.
Graphics are reasonably good. The water, the trees etc look really good. The characters are ok, but dont look really great. The textures are nice though. Sound is not what I expected. I mean it doesnt give the correct feel at times.
Now the experience of playing it …
Problem Number 1.
There were just 4-5 of us who were ready to play the game
Problem Number 2.
We had a cracked copy of the wow game. So we could not play it properly on the internet along with the millions of others (besided u need a credit card)
Problem Number 3.
The server provided with the game doesnt seem to be great. It isnt very stable either
Problem Number 4.
Sadly we made Shamanths pc the server again. Bad Idea. What is needed is a dedicated server. Anyway maybe when I get new Pc’s in the lab i will get a 24×7 server for it.
All in all, another few thousand hours of gaming ruined due to lack of infrastructure :((

“BREAKING NEWS”
===============
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.
Conclusion:
The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
GO EGTY!

WOW is a very good game. its worth paying to play that one. It costs about 86 dollars(inclusive of tax) for both the game and a 2 months subscription.
you get a one month trial period with it anyways.. that makes it 3 months play. I feel its a reasonable price. Try buying one. You’ll like it for sure.
May be I am too late to respond to this post but felt like saying this cz I am one of the WOW players 😉

better late than never. i’d play it … but no net connection to outside ports 😦
