Has the game become old hat and lost its appeal for me?<br /><br />I remember begging my max level friend to help me with a group quest because I couldn't find anyone to help me. Later, in Netherstorm, I remember being complimented on healing a hunter's pet in a group quest.

I remember my innocent WoW days, and now I am so much "older" though if I start a new toon I feel like I'm innocent again, trying to learn my wings etc.<br /><br />I have to say that PVPing made me grow up. Starting low level BGs made me realise I had to use more spells, more abilities, more teamwork... it wasn't just me anymore.<br /><br />Anyway, good work :)Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-53622655250897436732011-11-11T18:20:59.067+00:002011-11-11T18:20:59.067+00:00@LMRoberts

I remember seeing PVP videos of insane level 60 Warriors hitting 3k, that was big back then.<br /><br />Ah, intersting to hear a side which isn'[t focused on end game. Many find it hard to come to terms with. I'm sure it's a great way to, really, escape when you play that way.<br /><br />Yes, PVP is like a whole different game at times, especially in the wild (world).<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />- JaminJaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933819665446187419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-55316450735415417642011-11-11T17:54:38.423+00:002011-11-11T17:54:38.423+00:00I loved this post.

I also look back to the days when the bosses had 100k health and we thought wow that's a tough boss. Now we have to have 100k health and the bosses are just obscene with health.<br /><br />Not burned out yet, I quit the raiding scene before it happened. Now I just amble along not in a hurry to level cap (much to guilds disappointment). I'm exploring things I rushed by in the past and generally enjoying the ride. <br /><br />I'm turning into a pretty good pvp'r, but have yet to do rated bg's or arenas, but love world pvp. But then my main is a sub rogue...hehe.<br /><br />Again, great post.LMRobertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14651836730732082395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-25756983721399011502011-11-10T18:51:59.244+00:002011-11-10T18:51:59.244+00:00@Group5Gal

Lots of questions, so here's what I can...Jamin,<br />Lots of questions, so here's what I can remember...<br /><br />What was your first encounter with World of Warcraft like?<br /><br />Pretty awesome. I leveled my first toon with my wife - a holy priest. LEVELING as a holy priest. She did the dps; I kept her and her pet safe. It was a "great" combination, until someone told me I should just level shadow instead... loss of innocence begins.<br /><br />Did you share this 'beginners mind'? <br /><br />Yeah, I didn't know anything. I wasn't much into Diablo, so the item colors were meaningless to me. I didn't know about guilds, the AH (didn't know what "ah" meant, either. Ah what?) I didn't know to party when running dungeons (my new friends I think made the same mistake for a while) and wondered why the hell we were dying so much. It was wacky times.<br /><br />Are you still in this period of escape? <br />Clearly not.<br /><br />When did you feel the magic faded?<br />Probably once I started raiding, like you. I had to learn fast, but I spoke of that in my post.<br /><br />Anyway, great post; I really related to the 1g thing; 1g used to be a POWERHOUSE of money, and you had to get a WHOLE HUNDRED to get fast riding. Good times, great post!stubbornhttp://sheepthediamond.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-20795999509972464272011-11-09T21:44:58.150+00:002011-11-09T21:44:58.150+00:00@Vuuk

Because it wasn't in the manual or anything, I had no clue.<br /><br />- chose an orc warlock, picked up the breadcrumb quest for RFC and "got stuck with questing" because I couldn't solo RFC. Having explored plenty of caves on my own in Diablo 2 it didn't occur to me that perhaps this one wasn't meant to be done alone.<br /><br />- never got past level 47 with three of my characters on my first server (EU-Defias Brotherhood) because I kept RPing.<br /><br />- stared at trade chat trying to figure out what all these abbreviations meant. Especially LFG UBRS puzzled me for a long time, because "uber" is a German word, also used in D2 for Uber Diablo for example. I thought "UBRS" was just a group of really strong monsters, and people LFG LBRS were idiots that couldn't spell UBRS.<br /><br />Being ressed was indeed nice, if only because I was used to the Guild Wars system of dieing, where you spawn back at the start of the instanced world with a -% stat bonus.Vuukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508288350162063925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-87038102596407065102011-11-09T20:57:20.688+00:002011-11-09T20:57:20.688+00:00Well,
