I'm enjoying World of Warcraft more and more lately. I recently started to play it with my Beatriz, I bought an account just for her, and it really kicks ass. Now we have to convince Yesenia to install it on her lappy for the whole family to be shouting for the Horde! all day.

It's a little hard finding time to play but I'm already planning my early retirement, super early, and dedicate my days to writing, making music and playing World of Warcraft.

What really amazes me is how after so many years, WoW was released on November 2004, a game keeps attracting so many users, a little more than ten millions as I write this post.

I'm still exploring Azeroth as the bad ass Zuska in Kalecgos so if you're around let me know.

By the way, if any of you, who's not playing it yet, want to give World of Warcraft a ten day trial just let me know to send you an invitation.

Some days ago some friends and I were talking about World of Warcraft in Twitter and decided to use the same realm to enjoy the massacre... er.. I mean the fun, together. Our always geek and good friend Slayer_X suggested Kalecgos, a place where there's a good population of Spanish speaking players, and I decided to start a new life, as a part of the Horde, of course.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue my quests with good 'ol Bartor in Baelgun but guess the change is worth it if I can find some familiar faces around Azeroth.

Now I'm Zuska, a good looking Warlock eager to crush some ugly Alliance skulls. And yeah, that three in my pic is my poor level, I had to start somewhere, didn't I?

Ok, invitation's done. I'm looking forward to meeting you in World of Warcraft, Kalecgos. If you're from the Horde I'm sure we'll enjoy some really kick ass raids, however, if you're some Alliance scumbag, I wish to cause you lots of pain real soon.

It was impossible to resist. After a few months living in Second Life, learning everyday and gathering lots of ideas for new projects in world, I had to start exploring Azeroth, the magical place also known as World of Warcraft.

I'm still downloading the 10 day trial but have already registered for US$ 19.99, so I have the next 30 days covered (they add to the first 10 days). After that it's US$ 14.99 monthly. Some argue that is a little expensive but I think many of us spend much more in other kinds of entertainment and I'm pretty sure the fun of World of Warcraft is well worth the fifteen bucks.

Important to notice: you don't need to buy the boxed version of the game, the big 3.16 Gb. download is exactly the same once you activate your account.

I've registered to the US based version of the game, for that you need a credit card with an address in the United States, if you have a Paypal account there your debit card, which is a Mastercard, would work too. I used that option.

World of Warcraft is the closest thing to a virtual version of Tolkien's universe and even if, unlike Second Life, there's no real economy promoted by Blizzard, creators of the game, a secondary market has appeared, just one example: millions of chinese are mining virtual gold and selling it for real dollars.

With more than eight million players, World of Warcraft is a huge virtual reality that many friends told me to "please don't enter, danger, highly addictive!" Cool, exactly what every geek needs.

Obviously I'll join the Horde 'cause there's nothing better than crashing some human bones after all that Drupal coding during the day.
