About the Ancient

First off, the title of the blog doesn’t mean that there is great wow wisdom in these pages, you’d really have to look elsewhere for that. What it means is I’m the ancient and this is my tome of World of Warcraft related thoughts and observations.

My World of Warcraft career started because I wanted to understand my son-in-law’s, according to my daughter, addiction. My daughter constantly complained about the amount of time he played wow at night, so never having played either a FPS or MMO I thought I should see what it was about.

That was in November 2006 when my server Fenris was a few weeks old. My son-in-law has moved on to other things and I’m still here with my crew—Feral Druid, Affliction/Demo Lock, Enhancement Shaman, BM Hunter, Unholy DK, Rogue, Priest. Since my son-in-law’s defection I miss those World of Warcraft related talks we used to have. My non-gaming husband now bears the brunt of my wow-related chat and it seems to be disturbing him. I think he fears for my sanity, he’ll look closely at me and say “But you know they’re not real don’t you?” So in the interest of saving my husband further worry I’m just going to talk to you instead, k?

Whose got the addiction now?

Psst! Hey there you, I mean me. You’re an altoholic, don’t ever forget it.
