WoW PVP w/my 6-year old!

So I just did one of the coolest things yesterday...

But first let me back up...

For Christmas my 6-year old son Kyle wanted a mobile phone since mobile phones are of course everywhere now, and especially here in Seoul his fellow kindergarten classmates are getting phones.

With his new phone Kyle gave me a call at work yesterday at 7pm. Now in the weekdays I never come home before he goes to sleep so we have to do all the real family work on Saturday & Sunday. Now with his phone he gives me a call about once or twice a week when he thinks of me.

He told me that he missed me and wants to play in a dungeon or battlegrounds with me. Last couple of weekends we have played a few EoS and ABs together. He asked me if we could play now and I said sure of course!

2 minutes later we were jumping up and down next to each other near the battlegrounds daily quest giver. Soon there was some good natured confusion from the Korean players around us, as Kyle is trying out his chatting skills and saying "Hi. I love you." to general assorted 70 Horde guys. Of course I replied and toild him I loved him as well, and soon there was a whole bunch of I love you too from fellow killers inspired by the love.

After getting my son to toss out these extra guys from the party we created we went in to Eye of the Storm together.

At that moment he was playing a 70 Paladin. Standing on the rock waiting for it to start we /wave'd each other and jumped up and down in enthusiasm again. Then the bubble lifted and we tore off to gether we raced over to the Fel Reaver Ruins together and caught the tower. We soon lost track of each other as is the nature of BG... but 15 minutes later we lost by a narrow margin and then were out in Shattrath again.

I called up Kyle on the phone again and told him how much fun I had and then when back to work...

Technology is so cool!

PS. if your ally on Deathwing on the Korean servers and there is a horde Mage, Paladin, Druid or Warrior that kills you and then jumps up and down on your body and says "Hi I love you." (if you could read the Horde chat) that would be most likely my 6 year old son that just kicked your ass. <div
