7) Sense of Belonging - Being part of a Guild

While venturing into one of the caves to complete a particular quest, I saw another virtual character being chased and attacked by three monsters simultaneously! Looking at the situation, there was no way she was going to survive and relentless onslaught. Being a hero to save the 'damsel' in distress, I jumped into action and fought off two of these monsters.

She thanked me a couple of times and subsequently invited me to quest together with her. Back in reality, I looked at my watch and had about an hour to spare before my next appointment, so I agreed to quest with her.

We fought side by side and after 30 minutes, finally completed the quest! (Sense of Achievement)

At that point, I received an invitation from this character to be part of her guild! I was tremendously honor and immediately accepted the invitation without much hesitation. I mean... I have only been playing WoW for less than a week and here's someone whom appreciates my work and invites me to be into her guild! Cool! (Sense of Immersion, Achievement)


How do I feel then?

1. Sense of pride and belonging
2. Appreciated for helping out in the game
3. Acceptance to be part of a bigger 'family' (guild)
4. Great opportunity to know more friend in the guild (whom are from all over Asia and Oceania)

Immersing myself into the shoes of a gamer, this is how I genuinely feel. Things that I can get/feel in the real world seems easily obtainable/acheivable in the virtual world.

I can now understand a bit more now why youths are stuck in game and refused to stop playing.

3) It was a BREEZE!!!!

It was so easy to play the game and level up. There were quests that slowly teaches you how to play the game. If you think it is difficult, it is not so.

It was interesting learning how to play, because the learning was BUILT into the quests...:)

Also, I leveled up to level 2 within 10mins, and then to level 3 in the next 20mins. To reach level 4, it took me 40mins.

New learning :

• When you are lower levels, it is easy to level up. The higher you go, the harder it is, and the longer it takes. :) Now I am level 4. :)
