Blame it on my friend, Tempest but I had given in to the temptation and finally started playing WoW. Its a damn expensive game, the install + the expansion and the subscription. I wasn't sure if I would like the game but now I'm totally addicted to it.
I'm playing on Medivh server, running two characters. Astiaya - undead warlock currently at level 10 and Istrienielle - blood elf paladin currently at Level 31. Astiaya is my first character but Istrienielle (Issy) has more or less taken over as my main character. I spend alot of time on Issy, leveling her up.
It has been mostly a fun and good experience running Issy. I joined a nice guild and the guild leader and members are extremely helpful and kind to a newbie like me. A few of them even babysitted Issy on a couple of instances and quests.
After browsing the EU WoW forums - don't ask me why I'm looking there when I'm playing on US servers - I've decided to use Astiaya as my alt char focusing mainly on resources gathering to power up Issy. Yeah, I'm a power gamer and is only keen on leveling up Issy but I also help guild members and players when I'm needed.
Right now, Astiaya is doing skinning and herbalism but I have plans to drop skinning and pick up enchanting so that she can enchant Issy's weapons and armors. Enchanting's an expensive profession though so I'll need to get Issy to do more low levels instances for now and send those items to Astiaya.
Astiaya's now my 'bank' character - she'll run the auctions, and focus on getting her enchanting skills up.
Issy currently is doing herbalism as well and is an expert alchemist. I will probably have her remain on these 2 professions for the short term.
