Warcraft and me

I’ve been playing video games since I was five years old, and MMORPGs (massive multiplayer online role play games, such as World of Warcraft) on-and-off since I was nine. Sometimes I share this with people hoping it will surprise them, and of course I take offence when it doesn’t. Much of my gaming career has felt like a double life, in that the people IRL generally have no idea of the friends, loot or wealth I’ve accrued across several virtual worlds.
