0. Wow through the eyes of my 6 years old son 11/12/2007 04:41:53 PST
I have two accounts and one has a lvl60 human priests that I do not play anymore. This priest is on a pvp server and my son enjoys playing it.
My son is 6 years old and it is interesting to see how he handles the game. He usually creates a character , plays it to level 4 and then decide to hop back on the priest. The reason is simple, he likes to explore a lot, and it is easier to do while mounted.
He understand that reds are the bad guys that might or might not attack you and I have taught him to avoid killing reds and especially anyone that looks grey. He understandsd what loot is and get exceedingly excited when he finds a green lvl12 sword. He also goes out of his way to help people by healing them while they are doing their quests. If you see that a lvl60 priest is healing you and not responding to your thanks, it is my son, he is learning to read and write and is likely not going to respond.
My son also loves the emotes and would often stand there dancing with people and blowing them kisses. Please do not get offended if a lvl60 priests follows you around, healing you, helping you and blowing you kisses and dancing with you.
At times things turn nasty, once he was helping lvl20 odd players when a horde lvl70 warlock came to camp everyone for a ridiculous amount of time. My son had a hard time understanding why someone would find it fun to be such a bully and he cried his eyes out at the unfairness of the situation. He also find it stupid that the town guards were useless at protecting its citizens. I had a hard time explaining to my son that some people were just idiots and that at times it is best to just do something else and let the bully get bored all by himself.
My son loves killing murlocks, for some reason he does not like them at all. He enjoys taking over one of their villages and climbing on one of their huts and claiming it at his.
My son is vein, he likes good looking armor. He does not understand stats etc, but knows what a good looking armor is. He still cannot understand why his lvl 15 hunter cannot get any descent looking macthing armor. (message to blizzard: I just wish you implemented some client side only options/modifications that would enable one to look like he is wearing some prebc armor set/weapons).
And finally, to the shaman that ganked my son in eastern plagueland while he was helping others fight squelletons: you might have realised that he just stood there dancing or motionless: GG you killed a 6 year old player :-). btw my son didn't cry and loled at the idea of you findind out that he was only 6.
Cheers from Azeroth.

UA is the only 41 pt. talent in the game that requires your opponent to be dumb as hell.

Q u o t e: That's a very cool read :) I'm particularly amused by your son enjoying Murloc slaying. Who doesn't?!?!
He sounds he could grow up into the right kind of MMO player.
Does he want to come to kara ;)
I did the monastery , zulfarak and maraudon with him. It was fun because it was a supposedly dangerous place (not really since he was healing my lvl 70 warlock), but I made him think it was. It was like a great adventure and who cares the loot is useless! He loved looting all these blues and green.
And above all, he really enjoyed feeing maraudon from the clutch of the horrible princess. Gosh you should have seen his surprise when he finally caught a glimpse of the princess I was telling him about.

Hey, who doesn't like to murder a murloc camp and claim it as your own personal beachhut? :)

Q u o t e: It's like sitting on your electric heater all day, and as people say: "OMG GET OFF, YOU'RE BURNING!!" you say: "I paid for this heater here, AND I'M SITTING ON IT!! YA HEAR!!"
