What a fantastic dream


Fan. Tastic.

So WoW has an offer going right now where you can sign up and play for free up until level 20. As you know, I was playing WoW back in 2009, but I let my subscription expire due to grad school insanity + not having enough money to re-subscribe.
I’ve been itching to play again recently, so I signed up again and started playing. Yay!

Anyway, last night I must have had the perfect combination of WoW time plus Wikipedia surfing time, ‘cause I had a dream that combined the two in a game called World of Wikipedia.
The best part of this dream is the fact that when I woke up, I remembered all the little details. There were two factions (like WoW): the Wikis, the fun-loving but troublemaking group who work together to cause mayhem, and the Pedias, the serious folk who are all about order and keeping things in check.

  • Then there were different races based on the five “pillars” of Wikipedia.
  • I think the equivalent of WoW’s classes were based upon Wiki’s three main core content principles.
  • The equivalent of WoW zones were the main areas listed on the front page of Wiki (Arts, Biography, History, Science, etc.).

I don’t know. It was a really interesting dream, haha. I may have to create characters to correspond to the pillar races.

What sayest thou? Speak!
