I was just talking to one of my old guildies tonight and it got me thinking about WoW again. I pretty much had to stop playing recently with the loss of decent high speed internet (have satellite internet right now) and I still play a bit here or there for leveling characters.
Right now I have a 72 shaman, a 71 priest, a 70 hunter, a 66 priest, a 64 paladin, a rogue, druid, hunter, warlock and I think a mage? in the mid-to-late 40s. (I leveled the doubles before you could get dual-specs and some of them are different factions/servers)
I started in January of 2006 (gah, it seems so long ago now!) as did most of the people I played with. My priest was my first 60, and my first 70, then my hunter was second and I leveled the paladin and left that server and made my shaman. I used to be one of the leaders of a small casual raiding guild, we did 25-mans 2-3 times a week on the weekends for about 4 hours each time. I was one of the 'caster' leaders, that dealt with everything from boomkin druids to mages. I played a shadow priest at first, then when we changed servers I made my elemental shaman my main. I was pretty decent for my gear-level too if I do say so myself, I was almost always one of the 1-3 top DPS in the raid. I enjoyed beating the better geared rogue in our raid, since we didn't really get along.
Before the patch came to introduce Wrath of the Lich King changes we had made it most of the way through Black Temple after starting 25-man raids in late July. Though it doesn't really say much, since you could get tier 6 equivalent gear through badges. (the gear in Black Temple is tier 6 gear) Most of our guild was late 70s without badge gear though, while the majority of our core team had been raiding and going to pick-up groups for badges and scraps of gear to prepare so we could pick up the rest of the raid.
That's pretty much it. I don't really like playing anymore, but I love the memories of it. I had some fun times. You'll never experience anything quite like getting involved with an online game like that. Stalkers, drama, disappearing acts, thieves, the silly rivalries and competitions to get rare items. Oh, let's not forget I was a girl too. Clearly the fact that I have girl-parts means I brought all sorts of trouble! :rollseyes
