The Daily Grind: What MMOG would you holiday in?


The post from New Year's week about 'vacationing' in the world of Guild Wars got me to thinking ... wouldn't some places in Massive games make great holiday hot-spots? I don't know about you, but I already use online games as a cheap and affordable vacation destination; hopping online is a great way to relax and get away from the workaday world.

But what if you could actually book a trip with a travel agent to Ferelas, or hire a guide to let you see the sights in Paragon City? For me it would depend on the purpose of the trip, you know? If it was a trip with just my wife, I think we'd want somewhere beautiful and relaxing ... somewhere in the Shire, maybe? If I was going with friends, I'd probably be looking for someplace a bit more lively, like the Mos Eisley cantina or Shattrath City. I bet Shat has some great bars. Think of the drinking contests! And if I were going by myself, I'd definitely want to head somewhere I could have the chance to learn something, a place where I could have some quiet time. The Shing Jea Monastary jumps to mind immediately, as does the Plane of Knowledge. Yeah I know ... I'm a nerd.

But that's me. Where would you go if you could take a vacation in your favorite MMOG?
