I think it is pretty hard to forget about the first time you discovered WoW. Weather it was someone who introduced it to you, or if you discovered it on your own, the first few hours spent in game are pretty unforgettable, and even more so if its your first MMO.
I was introduced to wow from an old work colleague, who was talking about a game that allows you to make potions, Armour, gather herbs and create your own unique character. It sounded like another world to me, and being quite impressionable i thought i would have a look at it the next time i went shopping.
I did not take to wow straight away, and have memories of wandering around Elwynn Forest on my human mage wondering what the hell i was supposed to be doing! Killing sheep and getting into all sorts of trouble. I was playing for an hour or so a night, not doing much at all, just walking around while trying to get used to all of the buttons etc.
I stopped playing the game, and my boyfriend decided to give it a go, because he found out that someone at his work played. He started a char on the same server as his friend, and the learning processes for both of us started.
We bought a second game, so we could play and discover at the same time, and his friend gave us about 5g each, i remember this clearly thinking that we were the richest level 1's on the server, and that we would never be able to spend that much money!
Questing together on Emilicious the Mage and Kopite the Rogue.
Throughout the next couple of months, we experienced out first dungeon run through Deadmines which was an exciting experience, we joined a guild and did A LOT of questing.
Our first run through Deadmines
We saw the launch of TBC which was probably my most favorite expansion. My first experience at raiding Kara will stay with me forever!
By this time i decided i wanted to play a Blood Elf because i loved the way the looked, and my first char to 70 was a rogue :)
With raiding experience throughout TBC, Wrath and Cata i now like to take a more relaxed view of the game, by questing, exploring and completing Achievements.
I hope you enjoy reading my journal and experience the many aspects of the game with me :) Please subscribe if you like it, so i know at least someone is reading it!
