My uncle's cousin was a concept artist for WoW (and later Wildstar), so I got to play the beta on his laptop at christmas the year before release. I made a night elf druid, fell in love with Teldrassil, and wandered around for like 2 hours and got to level 2 or 3, and then some time after vanilla released I played as much as my parents would let me. It was a pretty good time.
Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding
and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em. Just is!
