Ryan Mathews' WoW Character is a (max) level 80 female undead assassination rogue that does not mess around. Having played a rogue myself for three years, my heart went all kerfluffle when I saw he played one too. Rogues are the melee damage dealers in the group. They get up close and personal to bring the pain. His equipment shows he plays the highest level dungeons on the most difficult setting and spends serious time playing PvP. This is not a causal pastime for him (I was really suprised by this)! What does this mean? Well for one, he's much less likely to be scuffling with internet skanks or getting busted for DUI. This is because he's far more likely to spend his friday nights at home grinding for raid consumables or chasing that next achievement. On the other hand, there is a slight cause for concern about how he manages his time when he's off the clock. I'd be quite interested to find out if being a professional has cut into his gaming time. I need to get with John to see how impossible a WoW themed interview would be to obtain.

Oh, and a macho guy playing a chick character isn't a big deal in MMO circles....everyone does it. The prevailing attitude is "if I'm going to stare at a computer animated ass for 20-30 hours a week, it might as well be a female ass."

I think he made her kneecaps in the game the way his looked after Week 1 in the NFL.

He probably bought it pre leveled and geared.

Who has that much time.

I cant find any info on my old undead rogue Pooperduper. Maybe because I quit about three years ago.

Bros 4 lyfe

nah, on another messageboard they checked out his guild history. he'd been involved for a while, then was kicked out right after training camp started.

i doubt he'd have bought a character then continued to play it at the level a high end raiding guild would require.

I did the raid guild thing for awhile.

Too much work.

Well looks he is on the shelf for this weekend, lots of time now to try and get the Val'anyr Hammer of Ancient Kings.

I haven't played much for the current expansion but from what I can tell the end game content is super easy at this point. It doesn't take much to get the best gear right now.

The nerdity of this forum just went up a few points.

Could you go ahead and reset that while you resetting rep and groans?

I tried to pickup WoW. One of my friends was damn near addicted at the time and he convinced me to play it. I hated it. Repetitive, mind-numbing dungeon crawling for the sake of gear is not for me.

[Zaximus]

Just got 10 man Kingslayer tonight. Stoked for expansion. Game is way easier now and more casual but may change a bit in expansion. And the heroic fights in Icecrown aren't that easy, Lich King is a pain.

I love how wow gets the nerdy/additive stigma.

"Man WoW is retarded, only nerds play and get addicted." <continues mindlessly playing COD/Madden/whatever>

[Raskle]

Yeah.. cause Fantasy sports isn't at all nerdy...

/sarcasm.
