No earthquake of magnitude 7.5 can stop the strongest Raider. At least not in New Zealand.
If you have ever raided in any MMORPG, you are probably familiar with the nice excuses you have to deal with on the internet. There are mentions of cats suddenly marching across the keyboard, spontaneously appearing friends who simply pull the internet plug, or the good old “Oh right, it’s my mother’s birthday today, I have to go” excuse.
However, what happened to the player Delrio Sierra is rather unusual. While he and his player group were trying to defeat the trials of courage in World of Warcraft against Odyn, Guarm, and Helya, the ground began to shake. Loudly and not exactly appropriate for young audiences, he roars into the microphone and even tries in the first moments to continue fulfilling his role in the raid. The other players (of course) do not take him very seriously as the shaking worsens.
Only when the situation calms down a bit and he has sent his girlfriend to check for damage (after all, the raid is still ongoing), does it turn out: The earthquake was registered at a magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter scale – a fairly strong quake that can often lead to destruction.
Cortyn says: On one hand, it is certainly amusing to observe the two conflicting needs: “I don’t want to let my team down” and “I need to save my life.” In hindsight, it’s easy to say that one should have immediately sought safety. But how would you have reacted in such a situation? Directly under the desk or coolly continued gaming?
