Recently used this video as an illustration of a possible reason why I ‘got into’ Rift after I removed the choice in the matter (I told myself I WAS going to keep going until the first instance, dangit!).

In my current WoW experiment of playing without combat (I don’t even equip weapons) it is amazing how fun I am finding things that otherwise might be boring. Trying to fish, collect herbs and get ore in dangerous areas without killing anything is quite thrilling.
Ah nice. 🙂
