World of Warcraft - It Is Addictive
For those online gamers who travel to the world of Azeroth to engage in virtual adventure, World of Warcraft (or "wow") is more than just a game. It is an alternate reality that is really quite addicting. Ask anyone who's played it for a while and they will tell you that they frequently lose track of time while they are playing; the hours just seem to slip by.
The reason that the World of Warcraft is so addictive is that you can get totally absorbed in the seemingly infinite amount of details and complexity within this alternate reality. Whether you are actively fighting monsters or just exploring the world, it is an adventure that many find hard to drag themselves away from.
Gaming Strategies - Getting the Competitive Edge
Since WOW is a competitive game where literally millions of players are pitted against one another, everyone is looking for an edge. Many chat rooms and bulletin boards offer the dedicated gamer the chance to pick up a tip or a trick in order to help them advance to the next level and unlock more benefits of the game.
Some of these tips and tricks are legitimate, but others are either frowned upon or are downright illegal (in the gaming sense - they won't land you in jail) and can get you banned from wow.
WOW Colosseum
Designed by a veteran gamer named Jason Devlin "The WOW Colosseum" is a paid tutorial and online members-only community that exists to help players get to higher levels with their character. While much of the benefit of this online community lies in the tips and tricks you learn, some of the benefit is derived from the fact that the group is mutually supportive.
Since the MMORPG (massive multi-player online role-playing game) is a community to begin with, many people will enjoy The WOW Colosseum's "community within a community" aspect. Learning from and helping others within this community only adds to the addictive aspect of WOW, as you can accelerate your progress while connecting with other like-minded players.
