I really need to stop replying to autonews...but theres a few quests in World of Warcraft that basically play out like a 3d version of joust, you even get a reward of a pet which is a tiny knight doll on a flying ostrich like bird.

Speaking of WOW, anyone ever buy gold from one of those websites for use in-game?

You buy it online and then you meet some character in a back alley style transaction in the game.

I was always too paranoid of getting banned and losing all the time put into my char. Wow was the first mmo i played, got it on release day too and spent the next couple of years addicted to it and addicting some friends (who's partners never forgave me for). Thankfully RL took over and I gave up after Lich King, feck all time for it these days. Tempted by Guild Wars 2 though. :)
