Robin Torres: I was once on a cruise with one of my sisters. She pretended her name was Wendy to a group of, umm, laid-back musician types, because they said she looked like their friend Wendy. A couple days later, they came up to her, very worried that they had made her feel less special. They told her to "be your own Wendy."
This advice really applies to playing WoW: be your own casual. You should stick to your own idea of fun, and don't let anyone tell you your fun is any less valid than theirs. If you want to play in the end game, then great! If you don't, then that's great, too. There is still lots of stuff to do that doesn't involve heavily structured, highly geared group activities. And believe me, just because the hardcore players are more vocal on the forums doesn't mean that they are the majority. We casual players are just too busy playing or doing that real life thing to muck about in the community as much.
I think those guys on the cruise ship were very wise, as well as relaxed. In all things, be your own Wendy.
Jennie Lees: I wrote about a conversation I had with my mum, who's a casual player, about raiding (specifically, why she doesn't do it). Some of the comments from readers on that are pretty good, too.
The Turpster: I have one rule when I play WoW: Be the best! If these so-called casuals can't grow a set to be able to say, "No, mum! I don't give a F$£K if it's your birthday. I got three other dudes here and we are waiting for one more DPS and then we are going to take it to Shadowfang Keep and get some phat loots ... Honestly ... You just don't understand ...", then they should quit WoW now - or at least transfer off of my server where all the pro gamers play ...
That's all I have to say on it.
In all seriousness, totally got to play the game for you. Like others have said, set your goals early on and stick to them. You will get a sense of fun and achievement. Remember that it is a game, and don't get too sucked in. You will never be the best - even (among) the hardcore players, no one is ever the best, so don't try to be. (Ok, yeah, I am the best - but that is beside the point ...)
