Ugh, thats kind of sad now. If any of those things happen, I will be really suprised, but it most likely will happen...

And damn that mailbox being alllll the way outside.

 

[AvsJoe]

Lol. His priorities need a re-shuffle.

"Oh, great job Leeroy"

"At least I'm not hanging off a branch for dear life..."

So....from MMORPGs:

The first M has gone from some games.
Soloable quests removes the other M.
This app. removes the O.
RP has been missing for sometime.
And the repetitive grind on some levels gets rid of the G, before this app removes the need to G at all.

So, what do we call them now?

Everquest used to have a chat client that would let you chat in game without actually being in game and that was like 10 years ago. Was actually kinda usefull. With all other social networks also being accessible from mobile devices, this seems like a pretty obvious progression.

lmao, I could see this happening too! Talk about invading real world situations!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Well, you could get a mail slot in the door. Then you don't need to go outside to patent it. You can even order the slot online!

Oh dear, i forsee a new age for gold sellers.............................. Wow stock brokers.



Although it'd be a laugh to see them all leap off Icecrown Citadel when the gold economy collapses.

I would get an account just so see that.

Maybe your character is represented by a floating pay phone? That'd rock, actually.

 

[Rauten]

Forget the DPSs?! You need them alive too, to take down the boss! You can't just forget them! Bah, what a lousy healer.

If there were something that let me play the AH while I wasn't logged in I would have never quit WoW.

I would never log in and I would pay $15 a month just to mess with the AH...maybe I should buy some stocks or something.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Isin't modern technology amazing...ly stupid.

 

[MrPatience]

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! One of my favorite Stolen Pixel's so far.
Cheers!

This exists now.... just costs a *little* more- How does $17.99 a month sound?
