I wish I could remember what my old account information was so I could pull up my middle school successes in WoW. Though this is a new start, and a new identity. In the past, (I believe) I used races like the Gnome, Human, and Tauren. Though for this go around I started with the troll. Opening this game for the first time in awhile, I was shocked by the different options on who you can be, what gender you are, and the different classes. Literally giving an endless amount of options for a person to choose from. The fun within it all though is the freedom expression.

It was interesting talking about representation in video games during class, and how important it can be in regards towards the overall success of the game. With this one could see why WoW was once the worlds most popular video game. Within its’ setup allowed for the greatest spectrum of possibilities in regards to what people can be in the game, resulting in a greater fan base. I will admit, (if it can not be slightly sensed) that I fell slightly victim to not thinking about what issues do occur when a game or even series of games does not accommodate multiple genders or races.

Though back to my experience in World of Warcraft: I did try a new race Troll, but the gender stayed the same. (A question that is food for thought when do video games go even beyond the standard genders, and possibly have more than two). It was cool to be back in the game, due to the fact that endless things can occur. Unlimited quests to embark on, and a vast terrain that can be explored.
