THE IRONY OF THE TRUE GAMER

When you go into a new game you’re all excited about making a new character and which one to choose. Your heart is pumping with adrenaline at the thought of making it the best that it can be for pve or pvp. Thoughts of dungeons pop into your mind of large bosses with fire shooting out their mouths and slashes of blood dripping off of it as your sword pushes deep within its leather tough skin. You plunge it deeper and deeper into it and the sound and feel of soft tissue and cracking and crushing of bone splinters out of its wound. And then with one last breathe that you feel that you have it crumbles ever slowly to your feet as you feel the victory of its defeat. This is the feeling of the true gamer.

Then it comes to mind that you have leveled and your skills go up and you upgrade your armor after saving for that new shining sword that has new magic. After saving for months and getting it right from spending lots of gold on upgrades and slotting its ready to use. You meet this new player who’s lvl is 10 times your own and promises to help make yours higher then your dreams could ever imagine.

Dungeon after dungeon you trudge on fighting and this friendship starts to get closer and you think there is no other in the world but him or her that is making your world a better place to live. This friend never telling you about his or her personal life but always asking you about yours. And after helping him or her make a new email account which by now you are oblivious to think that this person is beyond mistakes and is the best friend you could and would ever have he or she ask you to log out cause of his and a friend’s lagging and without question your fingers hit those insane keys with no thoughts of losing all your hopes and dreams you log off.

As you ponder in your mind about why and how you would be making your friends lag you slowly double click the icon that will bring you back into the game and put in your ID and password which you have done for months and there is a message that repeats ID and password do not match, ID and password do not match. And you’re thinking what the heck you continue to try with desperation to get back into the game which has been you home for months and there is no way of entering. That my friends is the irony of the true gamer.
