Well, some of you spouses out there might be disgruntled, as Jennie points out, but this article in today's
Washington Post has a
different take; it takes a look at families, seperated by distance, who spend time together by playing WoW.I think it's wonderful thing that geography no longer has any boundaries on whether we can interact with distant relatives or not, but I'm still trying to picture my Aunt Myrtle playing WoW...she's afraid to even use the TV remote; she thinks she might miss & blow up the vase behind it or something.

What game is that picture from? It sure isn't WoW

It's called Guild Wars and is the game the family actually plays, not WoW.

It's nice to see Guild Wars getting some MSN attention.

And by "MSN" I meant MSM. >_

A year ago I moved across the country from my entire family. My boyfriend and I began playing WoW, quickly introducing it to my brother. Now I socialize with my little brother and nephews everyday, not just in the once/twice a week phone calls.
