Where it all began...

Warning- Long, Pseudo-Personal Story Ahead.

 

 

Well it all started about 3 years ago now.

 

I was just turning 14 or so and i saw the X-play bit for WoW about the Zelda Quest and it had me hooked.

So being the young'in i was then i asked my uncle to build me a sick computer to game on and he built me an OK one. so i bought the trial disk and brought it home and installed it. I must say was quite sad when i found out that my CPU speed was too slow. So not knowing it would still run at the time i gave up. A year later when I became a mall rat/started hanging with One of my really good friends my interest was re-sparked.

 

My best friend Sam and Jeff( Barqz) both played! i was overjoyed. I was sad however knowing my comp wouldn't run it. i used to play on Sam's laptop at the mall and Jeff would come to and he showed me a t1 rouge hanging out around MC. somewhere in the midst of this i got a new computer and tried the install. Again i got the CPU speed not fast enough, but i took a chance and said Fuck It!

Turns Out, It Ran!

Within WoW i started playing horde on Sams friend Jesse's account. this didnt last logn as Jesse came back and i took Sam's second account. shortly there after i came to Gorg to play with Barqz, and then left again to play with his friend ryan. and back and forth this went. server hopping. the highest i ever got on my own was 32 and that was a UD warrior. in those days i server hopped so much just to play with my RL friends. I never really got the experince of it, untill Ryan Quit WoW. Then me and Jeff Stayed on Gorg. For Good.

 

Then i got a GF and she HATED WoW. so i played less, then played more and it went on and on. and as time went by i grew closer to the game because i played so much. all the time. -Addict-

About 2 weeks before BC was due my Good friend Sam Died (RIP<3). this left a lot of issues in my RL life. I Felt since our plans had been to go the Midnight release i should still go. i bought BC and activated it on his account. This was too much for my GF and we broke up(amongst other reasons) and i decided that i would level Sams warrior(it was 60). Come august of '07 and i finnaly 70 with Knightrider. (Thank you Jeff for always pushing me) and i noticed i needed something else. a warrior wasnt for me. never knowing what class i wanted/ wanted to do end game i picked up Sams priest(being 32 when i started playing it). Between Me, Jeff, and Ryan(Birchbeer) we all wanted Beer Toons so i Hopped the priest to Gorg and named him Gingerbeer.

 I Discovered my "WoW Calling" if you will.

 Healing

I Lvled Him

Entered Downfall.

And i Hit 70.

Now i raid and do whatever whenever i can.As i enter into the 25-mans its weird to look back and see how i started. A little UD Mage named Generaltso Because The Savages at famous Wok had the best chicken. Always re rolling because i was bored of the toon.

Well thats my WoW history

 

P.S.- The Exact Order of Events May Be Off A little. It was a long time ago.

Word to that.  Glad to see you being able to run the same dungions and quests as me now, instead of helping you we are actually playing together, which just makes doing these quests,dungions,raids much more fun.
