    Why I want to consume "World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Official Strategy Guide (World of Warcraft)" — 1 year ago

    I want to create some characters of races that were introduced in the Burning Crusade expansion set.

    I am interested in making sure that I pick the best professions for them, so that they get off to a good start.

    Having created a few characters with pretty poor choices as their pair of professions, I came to see the value of doing this particular thing right.

    It seems like the significance of professions chosen in the game with respect to game play falls right in between that of class and race.

    So this book seems like it will be a good one for making sure the new characters get started on the “right track”.

    Why I want to consume "World of Warcraft Master Guide, Second Edition" — 1 year ago

    This is a reference manual as far as most of the pages in the book go. There is a little bit of story background too.

    I wanted to learn a little bit more about the game, World of WarCraft. I also wanted a way to look up information quickly that I had already seen in game – but had not written down.

    What I did not want to do is use the book to “read ahead” and learn what to do and where to do it as I venture into each new place in the game.

    At that point, playing the game would consist solely of pushing buttons and no thinking – quick or deliberate – at all. For me, then it would be pointless and I wouldn’t be sharpening any skills at all, except research.

    Different people can use it different ways.

    The material in the book is organized so that it can be helpful to people with many different levels of experiences in the game. Also, the organization is one in such a way that it is pretty easy to learn what you want – and not learn what you do not want.

    Why I want to consume "World of Warcraft Behind the Scenes" — 1 year ago

    I have played the game a bit. By no means an expert but I think I am not a beginner anymore.

    Most of my experience is with the original version of WoW. I only upgraded to the Burning Cruside expansion set recently. I have barely peeked inside the beginner areas of a couple major new lands it introduces. So the fact this DVD just covers the original version of WoW was just fine with me.

    I wanted to try the game itself out of technical curiosity. Recently, having played it some, I wanted to see what the actual creators of the game had to say about building it.

    I consider myself more of a developer than a game player. Even when playing it I find myself thinking about OpenGL, modeling, simulations, object oriented programming.

    But on the flip side of the looking glass, I used to read mythology and legends a fair bit in grade school. Myths and folklore are interesting subjects to me – both the stories and the implications behind them.

    The promise of cinematic clips also sounded pretty good. I wanted to learn more about the lore of the game – the “backstory”, in Hollywood terms.

    The promise of seeing how the creator’s themselves see the game also proved enticing. I was curious how they approached the problem of undertaking something so huge and technically complex.

    I am not sure that is what the DVD has to offer. But that is what I wanted out of it.
