Recruit a friend scheme
At last, I got my friend hooked. The minute he got his first paycheck, he has already been pondering upon the fact that should he get a copy of WoW so that he can play or should he not get a copy and not get addicted?
It was one fateful weekend when he was at his most vulnerable state. It was a dark and cold lonely night. Fortunately, he was spending time with his character, loving every pixel of it and stroking the keyboard gracefully in order his character to quest without problems. He could feel the warmth of his monitor and the gentle sound of mouse clicking. To him, his character was his sanctuary and it would be an eventful sleepless night.
Suddenly, his phone rang and the caller ID was ME! He was hesitant and fearful about picking up the call. Running through his mind is the fact that he would have to part ways with his character so that I can use my account to raid with my guild mates. The few seconds of his phone ringing seems like an eternity to him with thousands of questions and possibilities going through his mind. He snapped out of his trance and proceeded to pick up the call. He was about to hear the most frightening and dreadful news ever:
“Oi! Playing your Hunter ar? Questing or Instancing? I wanna go for raid leh… in about 15min time la, you go settle you stuff first… when ready you miss call me or something? Ok?”
“Err… ahh… ok ok… after 5 min you login la, I am hearthing now”
He pushed the end button and placed his phone close to his chest while looking his character hearthing to the nearest inn. He sat on his bed and then lied down slowly. He curled up into a shrimp-like-shape and tugged his comforter over him; it was one of his most agonizing moments.
That night, I received a call from him. I was raiding halfway but took the call nonetheless as I know it would be important or else he wont be calling me. The second I picked up the call, he said to me:
“Hey, how long ar if I want to transfer my character over? I cannot tahan already. I have decided to buy an account. … …”
I smiled as his voice trails off in the background. YES! Another friend into WoW and I feel like an advocate of Blizzard Entertainment. Another person has just become part of the statistic in Blizzard’s 7 million and counting subscribing accounts.
Sigh! This game is so bloody addictive… >.<”
