Creativity Part B

So, saying that I had the weekend to do some work on social media, I hopped onto Everquest II, a Dungeons-and-Dragons style MMORPG now available on Steam, a communications and marketing platform available for both the PC and Mac (and now Linux). Before I did anything with Everquest II (I got this game way before the assignment was announced), I had to go out to the local GameStop to purchase fifteen dollars worth of Station Cash (the virtual money for SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) products), and with that, I managed to purchase the anthropomorphic races of the game, which consists of the Kerra (felines), the Iksar (lizards), the Froglok (frogs obviously) and the Ratonga (rats obviously). Once I managed to get those four races (along with a few others that came with the four), I started off as a Kerra Guardian (Guardian is this game's equivalent of the Warrior/Fighter class).

Everquest II is a nice little game that you can explore a mass, medieval-style world and perform a various number of quest which include kill quests (simply kill someone), combo quests (need to reach a certain number of attacks to complete), delivery quests (or postal-delivery service as I call it), gather quests (collect a number of items), and escort quests (bring someone to a certain spot without the person being harmed). In this, many people can form groups in which they can take down certain enemies. Groups usually consist of A: a tank (a person with high defense, like a Guardian (the class that my avatar is)), B: a DPS (a person who is designed to deal high amounts of damage, like a Brigand (the game's equivalent of the Thief/Rogue class)), and C: a support (someone who can heal and support the party, like the Inquisitor (the game's equivalent of the Priest/Cleric class)).

  

Social Media

Social Media is a form of commucations that allows people to create, share and distribute ideas and information via the network, whether if it's a game, video, etc. Through this, people can show off their creativity and have people share their opinions on what you made.

A virtual world computer-generated online community in which people in the real world could create their own avatar and live the fantasy life that they always imagined. Virtual world exist in different forms, the most common being MMORPG's (a.ka. World of Warcraft (which I won't touch with a 39 and 1/2-foot pole) and Everquest II (which I do play regularly)). If I would create my own avatar in the a virtual world, I would make myself look like a anthropomorphic Siberian Husky, because of two reasons: one, I have a deep liking for anthropomorphic animals, and two, I once kept watch over a husky until my mom managed to find its owner.
