How to become a famous World of Warcraft player

The

first step to creating a truly memorable Warcraft character is deciding

on a name and avatar look. This should never be overlooked as people

judge characters the same as people (by first impressions and looks). A

good example of how a simple unique character can be remembered is the

case of a player creating "Chuck Norris". The similarity was hilarious

and led to the viral spread of his virtualtoon . Creating a unique name

is a bit harder as many of the great names will already be taken at

this point, but don't rely on a name generator to choose your destiny.

If you need some inspiration I suggest using a name generator to get

your creative juices flowing, but do NOT choose a generated name unless

you want to be generic (or you get lucky and find a cool name).You have decided to make a troll and name him "CtrlAltDelete"

for this example; granted many games won't let you use such names but

you never know unless you try it out. Usually a good way to get around

name filters is to add letters or take away letters and making it still

sound the same, i.e.ContrlAltDeleet, ControlAltDlte , or other

variations. As far as looks your troll should have unique features

(can't be completely unique of course but go the path less traveled);

he/she should have the avatar of one you don't normally see. Perhaps

using the ugliest face with scars and a bright color skin. Getting the

"WOW" (pun intended ;p ) affect when someone sees your avatar for the

first time will help ensure you are remembered. If your troll is decked

out in weird looking gear (doesn't have to be the best functional

wise), i.e. neon gear, or odd looking weapons, chances are people will

associate yourself with uniqueness.Now that you look the part of CtrlAltDelete

you must PLAY the part! This is extremely important; a president must

act "presidential" and so a "insert your persona" must act a certain

way. If you are playing the Elite troll inpvp then you must talk trash to your opponents telling them to reference your name when they think about fighting you (ControlAltDelete

) will close program. Or, you can take the friendly route and be the

flamboyant troll everyone loves and respects. Whatever your persona is

you have to emphasize it times 100. No celebrity is famous without

having extremely tough bias associated with them. SimonCowell from

American Idol is a harsh ass-hat, while Britney Spears is the young

sexy train wreck. People love to categorize and pigeon hole people. If

your troll runs around and you act sad or rude how can you possibly be

seen as a flamboyant troll? If SimonCowell became friendly and praised everyone his mystique would wear off. Be the Simon Cowell or Richard Simmons of your virtual world. With

a name, look, and persona mapped out, it's time to take part in a

memorable event. This is best shown when a player by the name ofLeeroy Jenkins yelled out "Leeroy Jenkins" (great self advertising) and ruined a raid for his guild by charging the npcs. Don't re-invent the wheel but don't also yell out "ControlAltDelte

". It just doesn't have the same effect twice. Perhaps you could hold a

flamboyant troll orgy or create a set of moves/dance over your dead

victims body. To be flamboyant we will need to go the extra distance.

Be extreme, be flamboyant, and realize it's all in the name of role

playing your World of Warcrafttoon. You have a catchy name, a

unique look, a funny personality, and just held a giant troll orgy

in-game. With all the in-game aspects of your infamy covered it's time

to head to out-of-game methods to reach new fans. This can be done by

going to forums and uploading an avatar from your flamboyant troll and

making posts that are extremely relevant yet with your personality

attached. After making posts people will know you as the flamboyant

troll that is funny and well-known. Now you can capitalize on this by

creating a world of warcraft signature through wowsigs.com to create a

forum signature that contains your avatar picture, skills, stats, and

other information. Now players that idolize you can easily click it and

read more about you on a profile page or the armory.Chris

Daughtry sang "Be careful what you wish for..." which could never be

more true; if you want to be the next "Leeroy Jenkins" you might find

yourself dressed in neon pink, with a gigantic spoon as a weapon while

you spam your victims with "say my name bitch".
