As Hallow's End kicked off again, I'm reminded that it's been 2 years since I started playing WoW. In these 2 years' time, I've created 10 toons across 2 servers, leveled 5 toons from 1 to 80 and have made Medivh the main home of my toons and horde my main faction. WoW is the first and still the only MMORPG I've played and being a total newbie, WoW opened my eyes to the fun of roleplaying online.
I still remembered staring wide-eyed at my screen looking at the first zeppelin that was flying from Undercity to Orgrimmar. I also remembered my friend, Tempest came all the way from Silverymoon on his paladin toon to the undead starting zone, to buy me my first 12slot bag. When my silly ugly undead warlock stands besides his pretty female blood elf toon, it only took me a sec to ask why my toon isn't as pretty as his. Its silly I know but hey, its my first MMORPG toon I rolled and of course I would want her to be pretty. Besides, I was only a level 10 undead lock then.
And the next day, I re-rolled a blood elf paladin.
My first pvp encounter was an interesting one since Medivh is a pve realm. I didn't know what pvp was and I'm never really pvp anyway. I can't remember what level my lock toon was when I stepped into Brill for the first time but the first player toon I met was a fellow lock that's one level higher than me and he greeted me with a duel invitation. I didn't know what it was but I thought I had better click the 'accept' button since its always more polite to accept than to reject right? Accepting the duel of course means I have to fight him but I was even more noob than a newbie and didn't know what to do. And the jerk feared me!
Of course I didn't know what fear was. All I saw was my little lock running all over the place even though I wanted her to stop. Basically, what the jerk did was to chain-fear me but apparently I still won the duel. LOL. And how did he lose the duel when I didn't have control of my toon like 90% of the time? It's because I had my imp on aggressive and the little demon was busy firing fireballs at the other warlock while he chain feared me. So that's how he lost.
Oh well, fun times...
It's been nearly 4 months since I stopped my WoW subscription and I decided to activate my account with a scroll of resurrection and try again. Didn't take me long to realise how much I've lost touch with the game and that I can barely remember how to play my class. I can't say I've remember how to play my class still but somehow I've taken like a fish to water the whole notion of spamming guild chat again and flooding my friendlist's friends with /whisper. I'll probabably won't be playing WoW as much as I used to, but its fun to chat with old friends again once in a while, even though I still have no clue how to play my class properly.
From 100 rules of Warcraft, my favorite rule is Boredom’s Dilemma - You will never feel a stronger need to try to kill things than when you have rez sickness. How true!
