So I was sitting there this past weekend on Friday or Saturday figuring I’d play a little WoW.  Most people I think kind of skim past the launcher screen, but I thought I’d stop and read it.  My PC isn’t the fastest thing in the world, but hey… it is what it is.  Until my wife wins the lottery, I’m pretty well stuck with what I have.

I’ve picked my path and thus far I’m not regretting it.  For those who have been watching, you know I jumped from Alliance to Horde and swapped servers.  $55 later (ouch), I found myself in a guild formed by some friends of mine I see once or twice a month.  So its a guild largely comprised of people who know each other.  Lets take a few minutes to dwell down what I’ve experienced and some of the surprises I’ve seen.
