The Ysera Realm of World of Warcraft :: Personal Narrative

The virtual globes were good for doing what was impossible to do in the physical man rather than simply produce replicates of physical reality (Yee, 2009). This is why close to people including my egotism, although a constant gamer, enjoy the follow throughs of the virtual world. The virtual world is an escape route from the actual realities of the world. This paper is going to describe my experience in The Ysera Realm of World of Warcraft MMORPG.Avatars are a key atom of the virtual world and we rely on them a means of lifespan digitally while fully inhabiting in the world (Taylor, 2002). When the chosen embodiment Race (Night Elf) was announced a sense of disappointment ran through my mind, beca habit I believed the Night elf Race was not going to be as physically attractive as the Human race or daub Elf race which I have previously used in other realms. However, when I began customizing my embodiment I was excited to begin the process, because it had to capability to creat e a unique identity which not only coif a personal function (individualization) but also a well-disposed function as other characters would be able to recognize me e trulyplace time(Taylor, 2002). My Avatar Elvinna is a Level 6 Druid who has the role of a tanker, therapist and damager, with the ability to shape shift into animal form. Elvinna also has the capability to use mana, rage or energy as a resource (World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria, 2012). I chose my avatar name based on its sexiness, simplicity and how ancient it sounds. My avatar was created as a intrustd self-image of myself, her gender was chosen solely on my gender as a female in reality, her look is very fierce which is what I was going for an avatar that looks fierce but sexy. Her clan was chosen due to my unawareness of the different class, if I had the option of redoing characters I would go for hunter, because they are a better means of the desire self (physically). Her personality is graceful and achievi ng, she desires to the highest to reach the highest levels in the virtual world. Elvinnas, (which desired representation of myself) character is different from mine in the sense that she is everything I desire to be looks and goals. When given tasks she is quick to execute them in order to ascend, which is a total opposite from myself.
