Leopold 'Butters' Stotch: I don't play world of warcraft...I had stopped playing 2 years ago. World of Warcraft's contribution to my sleepless nights, my deteriorating health, my social ineptitude, mental frustration and anguish had taken a toll on me. My guild and in game friendships had all but evaporated. I thought it was time to close the book and grow up a little.
Eric Cartman: Butters, you said that you're on your computer all the time.
Leopold 'Butters' Stotch: Yeah, but I'm playing hello kitty island adventure!
Eric Cartman: Ugh... Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you!
Leopold 'Butters' Stotch: O-oh... Al-alright then!
And for 2 years I was totally off. It was not easy and I ended up buying up every RPG-esque game on Steam I could find to shake off the need to log back onto Azeroth and don my staff once again.
Old habits die hard. I eventually made my way back to Azeroth (thanks to a co-worker). I joined my co-worker's small guild and got into playing the latest expansion, Cataclysm, with a focus on questing and leveling. No plans of mounting a guild leadership ladder. I plan to play a variety characters from 1 to 85 and blog anything that might be relevant to a player just playing a character through leveling content. That is my goal - figure ways to get through leveling with out burning out and extracting as much fun one can from the challenges of creating a character from scratch. If this is your game then read a few entries and maybe you might find something of interest from this veteran player.
