6) Collaborating & Making Friends

One stark difference between MapleStory and WoW would definitely has to be to how WoW has been structured such that you are compelled to play in a minimum of two person together! Now's here is my own experience:

I leveled up with ease from Level 1 till 7. And that took me almost 8 hours spanned across two days. Subsequently, in order to progress the game further, it would require me to fight higher level monsters which were much tougher and would be almost impossible for me to handle by myself, espacially when they come in a mob towards me!

While working on one of the quest, I died 5 times even before reaching the main boss which I was supposed to strike down. One my final attempt, I met two character whom were also working on the same quest and we collaborated.

The beauty of WoW game structure was that it allow game characters working on the same quest to "share quest" , such that the characters involved could collaborate, complete the quest together and share the loot! On one hand, you get to complete the difficult quest and on other hand, you get to make new friends from around the globe. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

Now that's a redefinition to TEAM WORK isn't it?

Interesting if we could extract such learning points out to teach the youths whom are absorbed into the game.
