Our own lovely Alice can just straight up go to hell. Did she not read my recent plea for European friends to play World of Warcraft with? Yet despite the fact that she has a level 60 Warlock on the UK Servers, she never once extended me an invitation to play with her.

Otherwise, though, this exchange she recently had with a Horde player rings true.

Yesterday I went to see a buddy down at a certain large satellite-TV company. He brought some game dude friends, and perhaps inevitably, the talk turned to World of Warcraft.

"Alice plays..", said my friend.
"Oh cool," said one of the chaps, "what level?"
"A 60 lock on the UK servers and a 57 mage on the US servers," I said. "Do you play?"
"Yep. Are you Horde?"
"Yes! You?"
"...Alliance."
"Oh."
There was a beat as we assessed this new data. I looked at him, he looked at me.
I grinned:
"/Spit", I said.
He laughed.
Whew. I think perhaps WoW needs to be added to the trio of things you don't talk about at the business or dinner table: politics, religion, income... and Warcraft.

Hey, Alice. CALL ME. Florian Eckhardt

WoW: the new golf ... or the new politics? [Wonderland]
