WoW and college in the same sentence?!
Pictured on the right is a suspicious-looking but otherwise still attractive WoW advertisement that caught our eye. It was posted on Kotaku with the origin still unknown. We did a bit of investigating also and found a reasonable-enough looking website of an online school. Of course, we’d better not disclose details on that school since that’ll be free advertising, right?
But a college degree while playing WoW? The advertiser has probably never played themselves or if they did, they probably didn’t last. Then again, for them to capture our attention like they did, they probably knew what they were talking about.
For sure, we’d love to be able to go to school and have nothing to do but play WoW all day, although the author personally came close to such goodness having encountered professors who looked like members of the Hoard, haha. Ideally, a WoW school should have an undead history professor, a tauren zoology teacher, a night elf literature professor, a gnome workshop instructor and an orc coach, just for fun. Then we could poke the coach and see if he’d actually say “zug-zug” or burst into singing, “it’s not easy being green…” before bashing our skulls with its bare, green fists.
Seriously, though, do you actually think being a gamer full-time and a student part-time is possible? Could you really be a level 70 Night Elf Hunter (like the ad suggests) and still get a degree? Anyone? I’d like a show of hands, please…
