Don't know if this is typical, and I'll admit I'm pretty much a casual player (with months of hardcore play interspersed).

During the time that I am away from the game, when I come back I am utterly confused by my rotation. Takes me awhile to get back into the grove of things. Not sure if that is typical or if I'm just a noob.

Dunno if anyone can make a judgement call about that? 10 million people from 5 continents and I have met maybe 1000 on my server and later in LFD and LFRaid of which I talked to maybe..50?

I wouldn't dare characterize anyone on the basis of meeting them in game, but I met 15 of my guildies in a RL guildmeeting. They were as diverse and as nice as any normal person one happens to meet. On one end was a tatooed heavy metal dude, on the other end a judge. In the middle me with wife and kids...

Talking with friends ingame, spellin liek a bawz don't care bout misspellings

GM answers a ticket you've made and suddenly you type With big letters in the beginning of every sentence with absolutely no wrong spellings.

I believe you just characterized the typical WoW player.

The only other characterization I would give the "typical" WoW player is they buy into stereotypes about what the typical WoW player is

Just like riding a bike. Except they change how to use the bike every expansion. But you just need to take the bike out for a spin on the track...

Super "normal".

No such thing as a typical WOW player in my experience. I have met Doctors, teachers, lawyers, housewives, smart mouthed tough guys of all ages. Thats the joy of an MMO, you never know who you will meet next.

there's no typical MMORPG player ? there's millions of ppl on wow

**kenshinag** · 2012-09-23, 05:45 PM

The typical WOW player has a World of Warcraft account. That's basically all you can generalize. At it's peak it had 12 million players. Half from China, I believe. I live in Hawaii. Father of 2 children. Married for 3 years now. Play maybe 4 days a week for 5 hours? Even at the most basic example, I don't think there is a large portion of players that are typically like me nor am I like others.

Closer to the typical WoW player than it has any right to be:

The thread is about doing like a ''Bad luck brian Meme'' But instead typical wow player.

**navssurtani** · 2012-09-24, 06:55 AM

This!

OT:

I dont think that there is a "Typical" wow player. Like others posted before. There are judges, teachers and many others playing the game... So its very hard to find a typical player.

Except, you can most likely tell when you see a Hunter or DK that the chances of that player being a child/young Teen in RL are 99.9%

Nowadays: "I killed 5 boars in front of orgrimmar with the help of the guards, where are my EPIX!!!"
