Q u o t e:
So guys, what was your first experience of world of warcraft like?
I have been avoiding sharing my experiences since I wanted to avoid looking all fanboyish, but to be honest, it's not fanboyism that gave me the awesome experiences I had, it was simply wonderment at what Blizzard had created.
WoW was the first major MMO I got my hands on. First of all I created a Dwarf Paladin, and was just completely taken by the scenery, the music, the ambience and the visuals. I opened the map before I had even moved an inch and saw how vast the lands were, and wondered what it was like in other areas, but quickly jumped into action and explored Dun Morogh. I died a lot, but was just so enthusiastic to explore and see what else was here for me to find. I eventually reached around level 8 and wasn't so happy with the class I had picked, so I rerolled a human warrior.
Elwynn Forest took my breath away, and approaching the Stormwind gates to be hailed by a large and fantastic fanfare of music almost knocked me off my chair. It really did send shivers down my spine for many months. I saw this character all the way to 60. The poor guy remains level 62 now in Honor Hold, retired and happy. :)
What happened next is another story for another thread.
Great thread, OP. :)
