Another WoW Blog
My wife tells me that when I write a post about World of Warcraft here at my blog, she doesn’t even read it. I’ve heard the same from other people, as well. Thus in the interest of further segregating my “real life” from my “WoW life,” I have decided to create a World of Warcraft blog as a kind of diary of my daily adventures in Azeroth and Outland.
Kilrogg Was Here is my WoW blog. I decided to use the free Wordpress domain for this blog simply because, due to time constraints, I desire ease of use more than anything. I don’t want a lot of control over the page design, or a large amount of disk space for pictures. I want a simple blog where I can log in and write an entry, then post it and forget it. Wordpress.com gives me the same functionality as my personal Wordpress install, without having to do the install or the maintenance.
Anyway, if you want, you can read about my goals for the site over at Kilrogg. Lately I’ve just come to recognize that although this is a generalist blog (hence the word “Digression” in the title), I can’t expect everyone to be interested in the same things I am. Especially in terms of this particular video game.
Personally, I think it’s a cultural phenomenon. Others, especially non-gamer spouses of players , think otherwise.

I’m on the cultural phenomenon side, thanks.

Me too
I don’t see how else one can view it except as a phenomenon. Consider for a moment the understated fact that probably more grown adults play this game than children or teenagers. And I’m not talking about 20 year old college students, although they are a sizable portion of the population as well.
Maybe it’s the circles I travel in online, but most of the people I meet and play with in game are in their thirties or older. Renata, the co-host of the World of Warcast podcast, talks often about her arthritis and how it affects her playing. Phenomenon, indeed.
