Married to WoW, or do you date other games?

I was wondering this morning how many of us only play WoW; compared to playing a few games or possibly a few MMOs. Five years I’ve been playing Warcraft.

Five years.

Paid name change: making names available

I’m very happy about having just renamed my reroll DK to Gravity. I’m quite attached to the name. It had been taken by someone on my server, probably an L1 [ more...]

Next phase of my re-roll

I just hit 80 on my re-roll DK, Industry. I enjoyed it as much as levelling my first DK, Gravity. Such a great class.

Sometimes the quest storyline really makes me smile. Just completed the Hemet series in the Basin, and he’s out bragging to the guy by the campfire. Have a read.
