In the last year or two of high school, I would get online on my dialup at night and load up Tetrinet to play some Tetris. It was quite fun, and a variation on traditional Tetris in that you get multiplayer and “special” blocks. Anyways, the reason I kept playing night upon night is not because Tetris is fun (although it is fun), but because some of my high school friends would get online and use Tetrinet to play Tetris AND as a chatroom.

The same thing is happening right now with Warcraft, we’ve been gathering on Battle.net frequently over the last few months, and have finally gotten enough people to start our own clan. Now pretty much every night, we randomly log on at different times, and eventually get together to play in house Dota or as a team against random people. It’s the same thing that happened with Tetrinet, and a fun time both from a game and social perspective.
