WoW father and son team

With all the talk about how MMORPGs drain people's time and take them away from their families, it's a bit heartwarming to find out that those annoying (in a cavity-causing-this-is-too-sweet-to-be-real-this-is-annoying manner) father and son sports duos can exists in World of Warcraft.

The father and some duo is Siscotoquork (dad) and Dragonflie (son) of the Maelstrom guild on the Emerald Dream server. What's amusing about them is that the son got the dad into gaming with FF7. Given the age of FF7, the dad's been a gamer for quite some time now.

Gaming for them has turned into an activity that helps keep them connected as a family. The dad explains that they used to play a lot of tourney basketball back then but as he aged and basketball became a little too much for him to play on a regular basis, gaming helped them gain common ground. Dragonflie had this to say about gaming and family:

It is a good activity if all the family is in it, because those that are not feel left out. Especially if the other members are not gamers. WoW just takes to much time to play it without the other family members being involved.


When it comes to balancing gaming time and family time, the son says that WoW's a little more demanding than games he's played before. The dad says for him, time management is a less hard since his family is all grown now. All he has to do is work WoW around his wife's activities.

When it come to the fact that the guild leader is the son, the dad had this to say:

It actually is great to have my son as guild leader. I do not have to put up with the headaches, however, being his father gives me an automatic respect factor with the other guild members. Even though I do not get any respect from him.


Of course he probably said that in jest. Why does the Southpark WoW episode come to mind?
