Have You Had Your Warbook Fix?
By The Parodist | October 10, 2007
I finally realise that I have it me. So, here goes —
Hi, everyone. My name is Sasha. I’m an addict.
A Warbook addict, that is.
Anyone who’s in Facebook might have heard of this free gaming software called, Warbook. It’s where you can be a General, a Warmonger, a Mage, a Mogul or just like me, a Visionary. Gawd. And I’m not even a gamer, yet I’m now spatting the lingo as if I’m this hotshot Warbook guild master or something. Heh.
But make no mistake, I’m grossly addicted. I am! My daily routine now goes like this:
- boot up the lappytop
- open IE for primary email
- open several firefox browsers (I group my work you see, 1 browser with several tabs per ‘category’)
- check email
- check stats
- check comments
- check warbook and every hour after that
See what I mean? It’s funny how I often tease my brother and my cousin before whenever they talk about Ragnarok (another game) as if the stuff they say are real but here I am having daily conversations with my brother (who I persuaded to open a Warbook account) about defense scores, hourly income, land and just how many kingdoms were attacking us on that day.
Another thing that’s proof of my addiction, I actually have my own alliance and have joined The WarBook Alliance Leaders Communication Centre, which is an exclusive group set up for, er, just that. I actually got a kick out of that name. I reckon they’ll be abbreviating it soon — TWALCC. Heehee.
Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t be playing this game if I’m not having fun. I’m actually challenged by it, plus the fact that it gives me more things in common with my brother.
I know a few people who are Warbook-ers. Particulary the ones who are my Facebook contacts. But, now I’m wondering if any more of you are on it, too. Have you had your Warbook fix today? Or perhaps we might interest you to join in the fun? Let me know! Oh yea, feel free to join my crew while you’re at it.
P.S.
Now, all I have to do is squeeze in all the blogging work I need to do in a day. LOL.

Rico: And I thought you had my back. Hmpft.
Ade: Aha! You planning to attack me?! Oh, alright. I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

I don’t even have a Facebook account. (Nor a Twitter account for that matter.) Take the road less traveled!

Heh, yeah! Warbook was very addictive. Even when I was travelling, like a month and half back, I had to log in from a public computer and see how many times I was attacked.
But now, I am kinda weaning myself away.

Eugene: Good on ‘ya, mate!
Ravages: Lucky you. I can’t seem to pull myself away. Esp now when some idiot caused a war between our alliances. (See how affected I am?!) Ack.

Haha. I realised, after some 5 attacks in a space of 2 hours something, that there were better games to play.

Good on ‘ya then! I’m still having fun with it so I’m staying in Warbook land for now.

Me so scared to try Warbook lest I get hooked. Hehehe.

LOL. I know how that feels cuz, yea, you’re talking to a certified addict!

Seems like I am not the weird one. Warbook has changed my life too. Thank goodness I am actually slowly but surely getting out of warbook.. Any advice for me?

Not really a Warbook addict. I only play during my free time
And when I play, I only stop when I do not have enough manna left to cast a spell hehehe
