Practicum Project: Post 8 (champion)

I know this is one post too many, but after about 21 hours trying to complete Disc World, I can say I have beat the game!

Mission accomplished.

And what is the celebration at the end of the game? What happened to Honesty?

Congratulations! You have mastered Disc World. Does Honesty want to play again?

Yeah, so that was a little disappointing. Not only did I not get to see the game or anywhere I was going, I don't even get a semi-respectable ending to completing the game. I'm glad I actually stuck it out and finished though, because I always would have wondered what would have happened. Now, disappointed and all, I know.

I also learned the Disc World is, now that I've experienced everything--dying, surviving, finishing the game--this is most definitely a social community with its own identity. I doubt there are too many other sites that go into so much detail in their text descriptions, allow players to talk to other players, develop its own lingo, etc. This one does it all.

I honestly never would have played this game had it not been for the assignment, but I'm glad I did and I'm glad I got assigned to a social MOO. It's kind of nice to take a step back. Everything is getting to intense technologically, it's nice to play a game that isn't graphic, fast-paced or loud. Instead, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Will I ever play it again? Who knows...if so, I'm definitely picking up a new name for my character. I think I've gotten rid of my newbie status. I'm the king of Disc World.
