Whether you’d look on the far reaches of Europe, or a large continent like Australia, you could mention WoW, or Warcraft, and you’d get quite a number of people that actually play the game. WoW, is a very popular game, in it’s own mechanics, with it’s own universe, and incredibly, it’s own economy. We, the players, control prices on the variance of objects and what exactly what, when, and how we want to sell it. So it’s no secret that qualifications of that nature attract numerous players from all over the world. So knowing the fact that great television personas, such as: Chuck Norris (Yes, we all love his jokes), comedian Jay Mohr, or even media mogul Steven Colbert play the game, is of no surprise.
As a player myself, I underestimate the power that many of these moguls try to hide. Chances are that when ever stars play, they want to be the character that they are playing and not show off who they really are. Although, that can probably make life easier for them in the game, they’d rather work and grind their way through the levels just like everyone else has. Whether it’d be saving up for your level 40 mount, or your epic flying mount, everything takes time and patience. With that being said, our views change as everyone progresses through the game. In essence, everyone has different views and opinions about celebrities raiding with their guild, but there should be no special treatment as to who they are, rather than how they play and how everyone follows the guild’s rules.
What would you do if you realized that one of your guildmates was the president of the United States? Would you bombard him with questions about how he is running the country, or how he felt the first time he got his full epic set? Or would you be antagonized if some other star got a spot in raiding and you got kicked to the curb?
