Well, I think it's the worst-kept secret in Dublin at the moment (well
- leaving aside anything involving Bertie Ahern...) Yep, it's WoW.
Note, Aidan's original subject line is a bit misleading. You are
*not* being paid to roleplay. You are being paid to be an online,
in-game Game Master. That means you get to answer players' in-game
support tickets along the lines of
"My toon is a stuck in a hole and I can't get out"
"Bought [Item] at Auction House but it didn't appear in my mail"
"Player called STFUnoob keeps corpsecamping me"
"The gold-farming bots are STILL in Burning Steppes when will Blizz do
something about it"
all day.
Which might be fine as a job, but it's not roleplaying, or even gaming.
