If this week goes terribad for Jordan, Jeff and those others, I think I will hurry up and get a mage or hunter up to 80 before Ronnie hits the mean streets. That way I can camp his happy lil ass till I am bored

Was it on Ronnie's audition video that he said he and his wife separated for a time because of the time he spent on gaming? I don't recall seeing her on the tape at all...wonder if she is at home shaking her head at the whole "Ronnie at the BB House" thing? I find this thread to be fascinating. It is all like a new world and a new language to me. Thanks for adding a new dimension.

I have not seen his audition video. It would not surprise me at all if WoW caused a rift between him and his wife. It happens all the time. Some WoW players get so sucked in they forget to live their real life.

To clarify for those that don't know, World of Warcraft (WoW) is a multiplayer virtual reality game with real ppl and computer players. And its awesome.

Thanks for the explanation- my son is a Runescape fanatic (an on-line game similar to WOW) so I get the concept but not the particulars! I just asked him actually and he said it is camping out where characters respawn after being killed and killing them over and over again. Just as you said Fan3. These games are indeed addictive. I really have to limit my son's playing hours during the school year. I have to be a bit tolerant though, since I do have my own obsessions... I recently got him a good quality laptop so we can both enjoy ourselves over the summer!

To all of those experienced in this type of game, do you think this is something that is going to benefit Ronnie in BB? Can you see him using any of the game skills so far?

Wave- nope it won't benefit him at all. If anything, I think the game makes a person more anti-social the more they play it. I have to limit my time to an hour a day or I would get sucked in and play non-stop lol.

My son complains a lot about the morons in his on-line game. A significant percentage of people playing these games are extremely immature with low social skills. I asked him what he thought about this question and he said in order to prepare for BB, "time would be better spent in talking to actual people."

In WoW, you can start a character (some call them toons) at level 1 and work it up to level 80, but the character in question is a Death Knight and they START at level 55 when created. I used to play WoW, but now I play Warhammer Online, aka WAR, as I can only play very rarely and WAR is MUCH easier to play periodically whereas WoW if you stop playing for any length of time before you reach the maximum level, it's VERY difficult to jump back in as your friends are all probably SO far ahead of you that you'd be playing by yourself. Also, in WAR it's not about getting your toon the "Best" gear, it's about having fun. In WoW, you can have a level 80 character, but if you don't go waaaay out of your way to get the "best" equipment for it, then it's considered "gimped" or underpowered.

But in order to start a Death Knight, you need another Character at level 60.

I would be up for starting a BB/WoW guild. Thats what I do when I ain't here for the summer. My toons suffer during the summer. What would we call our guild? Just BB? or Big BHorde or Balliance? or..hrmm

WOW is a fantasy game. BB is real life. Even if Ronnie were the best WOW player ever, it wouldn't help him in THIS game. Another thing to consider... gamers tend to be solo players (while they may play within a guild, they are usually home alone). Which means they cannot necessarily "play well with others" in real life. Nor can they read people. Their social skills may be less advanced. Just because you excel at an online game does not mean you will excel at games in the BB house.

Confirmed his char name is Talby. Talked to one of his guild mates, and he is very nice.

I want to know what his main toon is. I bet this one is an alt. To low of a level for the amount of importance he has on gaming. I bet his main toon is alliance.
