A6,1 WoW

I am a World Of Warcraft player and I have conformed to the leviathan which exist is the online MMPROG gaming community. The WoW leviathan for most new gamers is not quiet as clear as one would hope. Yes there is a set of rules posted on Blizzards Entertainments website noting rules to abide by, but for the new gamer exited about playing WoW they most of the time will not read these first. There is also a list of rules the first time you log in, but who has time for that. Most of the time gamers will learn the WoW leviathan from other gamers through playing the game just as we all do. As in the case of the French restaurant example Wallace uses, when eating at a French restaurant for the first time, one may become confused and not know what to use for what. One in that case would just look around and she what other people are doing and using and do the same. Therefore they will have conformed to the social norms of the French restaurant. In the Case of WoW there is often what people call the “Barrens Chat.” The Barrens Chat is an example of what not to do when playing WoW if you wish to conform to the social norms and fit in as a respected player. Another aspect of WoW in which people have to conform is during instances runs. Rage Fire Chasm or the Deadmines are example of some of the first instances that low level characters will run while playing WoW. Each of these require a group of playing to play together and each perform certain task in order to prevent dieing, if one player decides to do their own thing and not listen the group will wipe and the run will be a failure. One last aspect of WoW in which people must conform is when joining a guild. All guilds are different on WoW, and each official guilds usually have a website in which they list the norms they expect each player to abide by. If a player does not they will be kicked from the guild and possibly ruin there characters good name, perhaps making future playing more difficult because others will not want a non conformer to be part of there playing enjoyment.
