My thoughts on WOW and expansions. feel free to chime in.

I first started playing World of Warcraft a few weeks after it was originally released.
Around December, 2004 if i had to guess.
That's when the level cap was 60, and the big raid was Molten Core, Black wing Lair, Etc.
You ran on foot until you hit level 40, then got a slow mount to 60. Epic ground was the shit back then, and i cost a ton of hard earned gold.
Now gold is a joke.
My oldest son got me started. he had a Paladin, and talked me into rolling a Warlock (Alliance) (locks were insane back then).
I never raided regularly or weekly, just played casually.
I had some problems settling in but figured it all out with the help of some addons.
After the Burning Crusade was released, i rolled a Shaman (Alliance). At that time, my guild was having some growing pains, and disbanded. So i moved onto the guild that I'm still with today, some 5 years+ later. I leveled my Shaman as Enhancement, but had to heal for raids when i hit 70, or I wouldn't get any play time with the guild.
I did that all through Kara, TK, Gruuls lair, etc.
Finally, when i had enough of healing, I started another toon...my Mage.
The Mage was very powerful with a lot of burst damage. loads of fun to play.
I will continue tomorrow...
