I imagine a lot of this is going on all over the place.  By \u201cthis\u201d I mean that there are a bunch of older gamers playing WoW that don\u2019t mention it for fear of being exposed to the world.  So we go along leading these false lives of responsibility and maturity only to creep back into our fantasy worlds every evening.<\/p>\n<p>I learned from my guild mates that my brother needs to purchase a US version of WoW in order to access the servers over here.  My brother and I grew up on Dungeons & Dragons \u2013 the original \u2013 so I should have guessed that he would eventually find WoW.<\/p>\n<p>FYI, I now have three level 70 characters.  Swarn (priest), Fwarn (hunter), and the newest member Twarnnd (shaman) make up my senior WoW family.  I am going to level a paladin and a mage, and that will be it for me.  There is just so much to do beyond leveling in the game that five 70s is probably my limit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brother called me from London yesterday and asked \u201cHave you ever played a game called World of Warcraft?\u201d It turns out that he\u2019s been playing on the European servers for quite a while now.
