-My wow journey started with wc3. I was young as **** and i played a lot of games( still do), so i saw on tv holy **** look at that fine *** graphics, its rpg wacraft omg omg gotta get me that booty.
-So yeh i had **** pc, and basically no internet, basically. So after a while i went to a pc caffe( if thats the term, there are pc's and you pay by the hour to play games).
-I went there with friends to play dota, but man i saw the wow icon and for the first time i logged into wow(private server) and made the newbie class paladin.

It was an instant server, and i had few friends already playing it so they started guiding me into the world of warcraft(burning crusade), instantly i got hooked on pvp and arena and i started my gladiator journey. I was fortunate enough to play with this gnome *** female warrior who unlike me played A LOT, and i mean a lot like 50k hks and stuff, don't even know why he played with me.

After a while i switched to holy( we played ret/arms) and played a while.

I only played paladin, other classes were too hard for me at the time so i didn't know much about the classes and how to counter them.



Fastfoward few months

The server went WOTLK, and i had no idea what was going on. **** look at these shiny new talents and spells.
So we continued doing arena( yay blacksmithing now sucked, i no longer had my 4s stun mace, or those epic *** dragon maces damn that **** was hot).

Then i noticed something in elwyn, some brave *** undead mage jumping around on his mount, slowly sneaking about. Trying to get attention, but not too much(there were not many people anyway on the server).

So as braindead alliance players are, everyone started chasing him, me included. But no one seems to be able to catch him(combat wise), as usual he had engineering, blizzard talents etc. And he just trolled around mocking us for not being able to kill him.

That was more or less the first time i was amazed by the mage class, like how the hell can he kill people, run, slow everyone, and still have enough mana to randomly throw unnecessary spells to taunt us.

So i used this emu hack or whatever to "change" my characters faction or something, not sure how exactly it worked since i was still unattackable by alliance. I was a human paladin who was healing and clensing an undead mage while he kills alliance players stupid enough to chase him.
I was a hero..

of the horde.

So i made a mage and played around a bit, i was clueless really..
I decided to go to horde and make my first horde character( Lok'tar ogar mother****ers)

I made a mage and instantly wispered him, hey yo im that traitor *** paladin who abandoned his friends, and ****ed up his beliefs to help out a thug.
He was like: "Ok"

Mother****er i gave everything for you and you diss me? Imma kill you
But no i asked him nicely if he would teach me to play a mage, he agreed and i came with him to elwyn. He showed me how to climb stormwind, how to enter without being seen, how to get out. All kinds of "exploits".

He had some friends in the alliance, one rogue specifically, which was really good at the time. He disliked me and everytime he saw me he killed me. Yup, i was dead while they dueled and trolled around.

So i was supposed to learn how not to die to a rogue as a mage, that was my lesson. Not even if i had 1hp was i supposed to die to a rogue.
So he camped me, killed me and kinda annoyed me the hell out.

Worst mage ever they called me, they were kinda right tho, what kind of mage dies to a rogue?

So i stayed in durotar, i dueled and i dueled. Picked up few tricks, started learning tactics against each class.
My "mentor" was a multiclasser, so he logged into his warlock and man, that guy knows how to survive as a warlock. We started doing 2s, and ill be dammed if that combo is not one of the better combos in the game.

Mistakes mistakes mistakes, but every time it got better and i started being good.

We visited elwyn few times to have fun, climb the great walls of stormwind and troll people from above. AND TO KILL THAT ****ING ROGUE, yep i did it, i butchered that mother****er. Then he got really mad and kinda had a vendetta on my ***. Called his rogue buddies to camp me or whatever, but yeh i died, again and again then i started killing rogues two on one, and every time i did any kind of new feat it felt amazing, like my hard work payed off, and it did, there was a great learning curve back then( cough legion, wod, pandaria etc cough).

We played arena and we got faced against the rank1 warrior/paladin at that time(alliance). They were bis geared(no shadowmourne thank god) and we were furious/rele. God damn it was long but we defeated them, and again and again. Holy **** have they gone mad, vendetta once again, since someone posted on the forum how they lost to "randoms".

That was one of my old exciting moments of wow, find the biggest guy in the yard and bring him down.
I started playing other classes, rogue, priest,shaman etc. Got good and met new friends, partners who i am good with to this day.

that was literally like 7-8-9 years ago? I wouldnt trade wotlk arena for the world, that **** is always exciting and refreshing.

Anyway i kinda wonder what would've happend if i stayed alliance, would i be worthless like most people are? Would i just roll some other class and main it? Don't know, but i do know is that my mentor left to play starcraft, and i got better by the minute every day, i never got a chance to duel him, a final master vs apprentice kinda duel, but i do know this, i played a ****ton of pvp, played against unbelivable people but i still think he was the greatest mage, and i think i bested him.

What are some of your stories?
