Default

I consider WoW to be a bit of a default activity these days. No matter what I'm doing, as long as I'm sitting down I'm probably playing WoW in some way. I can have the TV on in the background, or be reading the news online, but I'm almost definitely logged-in. Now, most of the time if I'm multitasking, WoW sits on the backburner. I'll go AFK while waiting for mail, or I'll sit and play the AH for a while or set my toon to autorun to cross some terrain while I zone a bit. And while this is happening I'll accomplish something else: Fire up the PSP for a quick round of Patapon, or send a couple e-mails in Rogue while keeping an eye on WoW.

I'm sure I can't be the only person who does this. I know friends who log into their WoW Vent servers when doing homework just to listen in on the chatter. WoW is becoming an increasingly default activity for the faithful, and I count myself among them.
