I've spent another hour with the game tonight and one thing that keeps standing out at me are the ... interesting people you meet in such an anonymous online environment like this one. WoW wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for the people. Too bad most of those people are utterly retarded.

Some of today's highlights:

• Just had a level 21 paladin follow me around for about 20 minutes while I was leveling on various quests. He kept screaming at me to kill him so we could get an achievement.
• I was battling outside of an abandoned mine when a party showed up, yelled "charge", and all ran through mowing down all the gremlins in my way. I "scouted" the mine by following them and finished my quest.
• I was hit on by a level 7 rogue as I was dancing on the bar at the local pub. She thought I was female.
• Another high-level character followed me around making the ground erupt in fire every 30 seconds or so. It didn't hurt me but it murdered all surrounding creatures. This was the first time such "kill-stealing" actually hampered my progress, but I just had fun essentially making the ground explode wherever I wanted.
  

I suppose I'm not quite the right skill level for this just yet. People I've encountered in WoW interested in social interaction are either far too immature or far too hardcore for my taste. Either they spam or babble like mad, or their clan have entrance requirements that can only be achieved by almost maxing out a character, for starters.

Though I've only really dipped my toes in here so that's not too fair. Can't wait for part 3.
