No I am not into that type of game I like games that make you think like puzzles and stuff. I do play Pharaoh its building a city and trading, I also play Stronghold thats similar but you do a lot of fighting in it as well as you get attacked. I also like Zoo Tycoon its fun building a zoo.
I know this will sound lame but I learnt to play checkers ( draughts) on the computer. As children we were not allowed such games and I learnt to play the board games children play with my children. It's fun learning new games.

As children we were not allowed such games Why weren't u allowed board games?  My mum never encouraged me to be a girly girl, she thought I'd be too tall to be a ballerina. Hence nowadays I like girly stuff, there's a brill girls magazine just come out for about 7-year-olds. It has ballet, baking, and everything in it lol, Baz says 'you want that, you do!' |

Why weren't we allowed board games!
Well my Mother had some odd ideas to say the least.
This one came from the fact that her family lost everything due to one twit gambling everything on the turn of a card. They had been well off and this drip gambled everything, the house the land the whole thing on the turn of a card and lost the lot. He then went home and blew his brains out. As a result the family had nothing and I mean nothing he even gambled the house contents. This person was my Great Grandmothers Brother. ( My Mothers, Grandmother)
Anyway her family were against any form of gambling after that. Her Father would not allow her play games that involved chance and she in turn would not alow us to play such games. That included any board games as well as card games so I never learnt to play them.
It was great fun learning the games with my children.
I used to help out at the school and one day I was asked to play a game of Ludo. I no idea how to play it and asked the children what you had to do.
The teacher thought it was a great idea to get the children to explain the game, a really good teaching tool, LOL little did she know that I was being taught by the children as I did not know how to play the game.
Even now I have to look up the rules of a game as I do not know how to play them and can never remember what you have to do as I do not play them often LOL

What I like about World of Warcraft (Burning Crusade) is that to succeed you have to interact with other people, it becomes a social thing, you enjoy meeting people in an Inn for a virtual drink and chat. Not many 'games' are like that.

And yet- it doesn't pretend to be anything but a game unlike "second" "life" |

I just got my American copy last night. I'm still waiting for you Euro copy which should be here any day now. I got hooked on WOW last year by my fiance. It's a good way for us to do something together since we're in different countries.
By the way, my elf is guildless at the moment. She's nice, really she is. I'm on Earthen Ring on the Euro server and I'd like to have a guild again.
