So I start work on Monday. But in other news, a friend lent me his copy of World of Warcraft so I'm playing just a bit of the beta. It is beautiful. Blizzard has always set the standard for graphics and having a nice consistent feel across its games and worlds, and WoW is no different. The game world must be pretty big, I've only explored a small part of one fraction of it and it feels large. It's still kind of buggy. This is expected from a beta, but it does crash enough to make play testing a bit difficult. Part of it could be my machine. I have some weird networking issues that I can't figure out. At some point this year I'm going to get a new box anyways, which might fix some of my problems. The game play is smooth and pretty intuitive. It seems a little easier to play alone than some other multiplayer RPG's, but I am still low level. At higher levels, it could be significantly different.
