Repetitive "fun"
OK, this is my first fic so sorry if this isn't that good. Can't think of anything else to say, so on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own or pretend to own World of Warcraft. Characters in this story are creations of my imagination; this is not based on something that happened in the game. Any similarities to actual characters or people are purely coincidental.
Summary: Five friends Questing in the Eastern Kingdoms, Firefreeze the mage, Silentdeath the rogue, Naturemaster the druid, Unbreakable the warrior, and Deatharrow the Hunter, find themselves in a lull in the action while questing and get into an interesting conversation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Firefreeze: AFK for a bit guys, need to grab something to eat
[Unbreakable: I think I'll grab something too, kinda late where I am
[Silentdeath: alright, cya in a bit
[Deatharrow: so, what should we do while waiting?
[Silentdeath: I don't know, want to talk about anything?
[Naturemaster: actually, there's been a question on my mind for a while,
[Deatharrow: well?
[Naturemaster: why does everyone, why do WE like this game so much? If you think about it, we're just doing the same thing over and over again
[Silentdeath: hmmm…….
[Deatharrow: you know, I never really thought about it before.
[Naturemaster: I guess it was fun in the beginning because we were getting new abilities and learning how the game worked, but why do we still enjoy it?
[Deatharrow: I guess some people play for the friends they make online, like us, we never would have met without this game and we're all good friends
[Silentdeath: I play the same reason I play any RPG, the satisfaction of killing things
[Naturemaster: fair enough, but that wouldn't keep in 9 million players with this kind of endlessly repetitive gameplay
[Firefreeze: back, what I miss?
[Silentdeath: well, it's fun, it's familiar, it's what people are used to
[Deatharrow: we're trying to figure out why people like this game, you'd think it would be a simple answer, but it isn't
[Firefreeze: hehe, I know I play just to make things go BOOM!
[Unbreakable: back, did I miss anything?
[Naturemaster: still, half the people playing the game the game just complain about how bad it is, why do they still like it then
[Silentdeath: I told you, it's just satisfying to kill stuff
[Firefreeze: and blowing stuff up never gets old
[Deatharrow: and plenty of people don't want to leave friends they have here
[Unbreakable: hehehehehe
[Naturemaster: what's so funny?
[Unbreakable: you guys, I mean, you can argue this point all day long, but what will you be doing tomorrow regardless?
[Naturemaster: ……..on the computer playing this I guess
[Unbreakable: exactly, because it's our routine, it's just fun
[Firefreeze: yup
[Deatharrow: we're all back now, so are we going to keep arguing or are we going to go back to killing stuff?
[Firefreeze: right behind you
[Silentdeath: same
[Naturemaster: alright then, let's move out!

And that's it. Looking back I see that it isn't that good, but it came to me at an impulse so I just wrote it (that and it only took about an hour to make). Let me know what you think in a review, just be aware that flames will be ignored and/or used to toast marshmallows
