Well, if I wasn't sure how well Mom was getting into the game, my doubts were erased with one of her latest emails. Mom lives in the north woods, which definitely has a certain resemblance to Dun Morogh. She was driving into town (this is in real life, folks, not the game) and found herself having a rather surreal experience. In her own words:
...all along the route I expected Jolynne to jump out of the forest, or to see big !'s above people's heads. Surprisingly none of this happened. The forest looked much like it did in former, before Warcraft, years.
She also had her dog with her because her Sheltie likes to walk in the town park, but her dog
...did not turn into a cute penguin. Neither did anyone in the park for that matter.
(Yes, she's received her Mr. Chilly penguin pet. She likes him very much.)
She ended her email with:
So if I am somewhat confused from time to time, and begin speaking about Inns or mailboxes or exclamation points above heads you will understand I hope. You will but no-one else will I am sure.
No problem Mom! Just don't be too surprised if you start dreaming about Warcraft -- that's probably next on the agenda. It's all part of the grand adventure, and gamers all over the world sympathize.
