"My little gnome with hot pink pigtails and big blue eyes was a lot like most of the female gnomes wandering the roads and forests."
I love what this sentence says about the narrator notices about the character the narrator has created for herself. She's a gnome with bright pink hair and cute, spunky eyes...and she pretty much looks like everyone else. I love that Emily describes the different types of characters that she created during her immersion into WOW, but I'd really like to see what kind of thought she put into creating them. I want to see Emily, the narrator, picking out names and trying on hairstyles until she finds one that reflects herself in this world of fantasy. Because isn't that the whole point? What does this decision say about who you are as a gamer, as a person? And what does it say about your experience with World of Warcraft?
But other than that curiosity, I loved this essay. So funny! The language is playful, and the in-game scenes are freakin hilarious. Nice work!
