What made you get started playing World of Warcraft?

I have always been a keen Science fantasy reader, and I had played the Warcraft2/3 computer games, so when I saw an advert (I forget where) for WoW I thought wow gold I would give it a try. As I said above I have a bit of time to spend on the game although I try not to play for long sessions, usually only 3-4 hours max in one go, often only for the odd hour here and there. I also have a mate who lives in the next village to me (about 3 miles away) who is a retired teacher who also got into the game so I have someone to talk to irl about things, although we play on different servers so hardly ever meet up in cheap wow gold game. (He thinks I am mad for this naked thing by the way). By and large I thoroughly enjoy the game, but I do make a point of avoiding the grinding/raiding aspect, I largely solo and just join small groups to finish off stuff that I can’t do on my own.

I don’t really do many of the instances, and also haven’t tried battlegrounds or pvp – I realise I have missed out a lot of the game by avoiding these elements but I feel I wouldn’t enjoy them much. I have played many of the NWN/Morrowind games and really enjoy the storylines (I have just installed a new video card just so I can play Oblivion!), and I get a kick out of the progress through crafting/fishing/cooking etc bits of WoW, rather than just rushing through the levelling so I can make the uber high-level stuff.
