When I started this blog, it was going to be from the perspective of my main character in WoW, Whimzee. But as I was walking home today from getting my coffee, I started thinking about this – where does Whimzee end and Tami begin or vice versa. She’s been so much a part of me for the last 3+ years that it’s hard to separate them. Sure, I’m not nearly as physically beautiful as she is, but I created her to look like an angel since she was going to be a healer. And, I can’t channel the holy light and make people better no matter how much I would like to. But, really, we are pretty much one and the same.
Maybe this week’s The Guild episode (Season 3 finale) had something to do with that thinking, but I’ve thought about it before with my theories about WoW just being a microcosm of real world society and I know I’m not the only one that’s thought about it, considering all the research that’s being done in the educational, psychological, philosopical, economic, etc. arenas. Plus I’ve been reading the World of Warcraft & Philosophy book (which, if you are even remotely interested in theoretical thinking, I’d highly recommend – it’s fascinating and will make you think. I’ll probably be writing on some of those topics when I get around to it).
Anyway, the point of this is that I’m finding it difficult to separate my written thoughts between my real self and my virtual self, so I’ll leave it to the reader to decipher my perspective. But really, we’re one and the same.
