Back to Azeroth

Everything was going well, but after the monograph I had a lot of free time to do other things. I decided to go back to Azeroth. After a mega download of over 500 MB, I was ready to play again.

First of all, I discovered that I had been expelled from my old guild, okay. They didn’t do raids; we called ourselves a guild for ganking :-) Not very useful, but it was fun to bother the Horde. Every weekend there were raids on enemy bases… useless, but fun.

Piracy, for what?

I keep thinking about how many software programs someone can master.

I remember super-equipped friends. On the same machine: CorelDraw, Photoshop, 3D Max, AutoCAD, etc. The same goes for other types of programs, aside from the hundreds of games installed. 300 GB hard drives filled with everything imaginable…

The answer to this could be piracy or pure lack of things to do. I know few people with enough money to have all these programs at the same time. But they can be found on some torrent on the network… or through a newspaper with home delivery.

Once Upon a Time in Azeroth…

I don’t remember very well the order of events, but I remember that one day we were talking about MMORPG and how there was always a friend of a friend of a friend who knew about World of Warcraft (WOW).

One fine day, I visited Edson César and to my surprise, the game was installed there. It was the end of 2005 and the end of nights without anything to do. I didn’t even need a guest account, I bought the game’s serial key, because in some jungle store, they sold such a wonder.
