My name is Lara and I started playing this game during it’s first stress test. I made a warlock and I remember fear having no diminishing return and being instant cast, lol.
No, my boyfriend at the time did not get me started. It was the other way around. [Although I'm sure he took less convincing than your girlfriends did/would.]
I started the game on Blackrock (PvE) playing a NE Priest, Protomis with my guild, Infinite Luck. That lasted a few months until I rolled a Human Warlock, Mika, on Firetree (PvP). I played Mika on Firetree with my guild, The Lucky Strikes, until just before TBC was released.
TBC came out and I switched to horde, making a Blood Elf Paladin (Hitomi!) I played with several different guilds including Nerve on Chromaggus before joining Odyssey on Mug’thol.
Odyssey stopped raiding about 3 months before WotLK was released and I found myself raiding with Void….if farming Sunwell is considered raiding. WotLK was released and I fell behind with leveling and eventually stopped playing for awhile.
The GM of my old alliance guild, The Lucky Strikes, convinced me to come back and play again. I played an alliance priest for a few months but eventually ended up coming back to Mug’thol.
Void didn’t need me so Odyssey took me as a backup warlock at first. (BTW, I love both guilds.) However, I soon switched back to my paladin and have been raiding as holy for a few months now.
