Greetings.
It has been a little while since I posted anything for mass consumption, so I figured I would let you all know what I have been up to. Motivated by a music festival, I left my home in the Pacific Northwest, and went to Norway for an extended vacation. While there I did alot of interesting thing, but not many of them have much to do with the subject matter of Roguespot. Interestingly enough, I did meet quite a few Wow players. Even folks who have only mediocre english skills are able to freely converse about Wow. I met a another rogue player while at a bar in Oslo, and we spoke about the state of the class, and buld strategies. I must say, it was very cool to have a common bond with many of the Europeans I met.
When travelling, don't be afraid to mention Wow. Its more popular than you might think, and a good way to make new friends.

Wow...that is amazing. I never would have thought that wow could be an ice-breaker outside of my close group of friends I play with. I'll have to use it some time when I'm out and about.
Yeah, very popular in Germany as well - and many of the german players including myself play the english version or - even if the play the german version almost exclusively use the english terms for items, skills etc.
I like this post, it's good to know people can freely converse about WoW aside from the mic or the phone, its also very fun if they are also around your level, or than you make them feel like a noob. I meet people that play WoW all the time at my local Gamestop or EB Games. I even onetime got a free gamecard for being so interested in the game at EB Games :P.

i'm a Chinese player. I was an English major two years ago and i'm teaching English in a college now. Online-games were always my favourite since i was still a freshman. haha..some of my students also play wow. I got that from a chat during the breaktime. Maybe it's really interesting that teacher and students are playing the same game. That help me to ameliorate the relationship between us.
Usually,many university students don't like there English teachers because they cann't get the bachelor degree without CET certificate (college Eenglish Test)
we Chinese wow players also use english terms in the game and our conversations. such as :"AFK , NINJIA , BUFF "
We Chinese players also use some english terms such as AFK, NINJIA, BUFF etc.
I'm an English teacher of a college in the Zhejiang province of China. hah, WOW is an interesting game and it is also helpful !
Why ? University students cann't get the bachelor degree without the CET certificate.(College English Test)
Usually, boys are poor in English learning. So maybe,some of them are not amicable to our English teachers.
During a chat in a breaktime, they got the news that i was a wow player. The relationship between us changed thoroughly. -_-! hehe
I hope the relationship between them and English would change thoroughly too....
