This evening, I reached level 50 in the massive multiplayer online game (mmo) that I play, Wildstar. It’s the highest level one can be. When I first started playing the game, I don’t think I honestly believed I could reach 50. I’m not that great at video games. They take me a really long time, I get frustrated, and the skills just do not come naturally to me. But I really enjoyed Wildstar and I kept playing it, even if it was only once a week or once every two weeks. And lo and behold, about one year after I got the game, I am level 50!
