Why I Have a Goal in a Game

Ok, so why shouldn’t a person have a goal in a game? Yeah, I know, it’s a game it’s just for fun. At least that is how I feel. I sometimes think some people take them way to seriously. And that is a topic for a different post.

Yes, I have a goal in the game I am currently actively playing. I’ll get to which game it is in a moment. No, I won’t tell you my main character either. My goal is to have one high level character.

Ok, I know you are thinking to yourself that’s everyone’s goal. Well, not always. That is an end to a means or something like that. It is usually a consequence of general game play and a desire to have something cool in a game that you can’t get until you get to a certain level. And let’s face it, all the really good stuff is in at the higher levels.

That, however, is not why I want to have a high level character.

It is mostly because I never have. My highest level character in any game was a Shade Assassin in Shadowbane and she was a level 55 when I gave up because my guild got wiped  off the map. I never got into any raiding or anything like that and wasn’t really into the pvp thing at the time. Though, I did try a duel. I also got ambushed a couple of times.

I only seem to make it to about level 40 or 50 or so before I loose interest in the game or something along those lines. Of course, I’m not usually in a good guild or such either. This time though, I think I might make it. I have a couple of co-workers who play the game. One has been quite supportive. I’m playing World of Warcraft for the first time, well, since December. So I usually have questions for him. I ask what things like RFC and DPS are. I had to ask how to get to a battlefield last night. We whisper/tell to each other congrats on new levels and things like that. He led the first 5 man I did. So it’s been good. And because of that I think I may make a high level character in WOW.

Since I have never really had any really strong characters in most of the games I’ve played, it’s been a different experience to attain higher levels. I’ll have to tell you about it some time. For now, that’s my goal in a game. I want a high level character. I feel compelled, it’s sort of like having the need to read all the “Harry Potter” books or all the books in the “Twilight” series. I just really want to do this.

See you in the machine.
