World of Warcraft Skills Help Norwegian Boy Save His Sister From Moose Attack
news.com.au ^ | June 08, 2010

A NORWEGIAN boy, 12, reportedly saved himself and his sister from a moose attack using skills he picked up playing the online role-playing game World of Warcraft.

Hans Jørgen Olsen, 12, and his sister encountered a moose during a walk in the forest near their home in the central Norwegian town of Leksvik, said the Norwegian online newspaper Nettavisen.

It was then Olsen's WoW instincts reportedly kicked in. Firstly, he taunted the animal to get it away from his sister, the paper said.

In WoW, players use taunting to shoo monsters away from weaker team members, the newspaper said.

Then, when the moose came after him, he played dead.

"When you reach level 30, you learn a trick called the fake death. That's what I did - I pretended I was dead, and then the moose lost interest," he told the paper. "It went really well."

The moose reportedly lost interest in the boy and disappeared into the woods.

My 12-year daughter went out to some laser tag park for a party. First time ever playing. She got first, second or third place in most of the rounds she played - even against older boys. Except for one where after she had been hit a few times she figured she would lose anyway. So she ran towards the other teams fort to draw their fire. The rest of her team captured the fort and they won.

She could probably hold her own against a moose too!

I reminded her that in real life, one well placed shot and you are out. Forever.

He’ll just have to go to a different server and start another toon. Maybe an Orc warlock. They make uber uber aggro!

No that’s just one of the skills for certain character classes. WoW is an MMORPG where you use swords, bows, magic, etc.
