It might sound pretty weird to most of my friends in China cause they all know I never play computer games. I actually mocked those who played games would never find the beauty of social life. After starting my brand-new independent study life in Amsterdam, I got more and more bored day by day. Most of the shops are closed before six in the afternoon, no more amazing Karaoke bar for me. The pubs and bars are nice but most of them are just not the style I like. My energy was kind of drained out at that time. I missed my family, friends and great great life style in Shanghai. That's the moment WoW stole into my life.
My boyfriend tried really hard to convince me to adventure Azeroth with him. He showed me how a fat orc run and dance, how an undead priest cast magic to heal on test server. He found the official website to let me know how playful this game is. Then at the first day the game CD was released in Europe, I got my own in-game character.
I feel it's pretty cool to be a warrior and always fight at the battlefront. In order to have the best combination, my boyfriend became a priest, who could heal me and made the fight easier. Little by little I knew some terms for computer games. But it didn't change the truth that I was way too far to become a pro. This picture shows that in the beginning of this game, not everyone realized how to play. I'm really surprised we actually killed the final boss with this gimp team in the end-- one warrior without shield, one priest without holy talent and three warlocks. That was really fun.
After couple of days, we were tired of PVE server so we built new characters on a PVP server. This time we chose to be troll hunters. And the real turning point was we got recruited by one of best guild on that server--DAWN. I made new friends there and knew more about the game. After I hitted level 40, I finally got my mount, a green raptor. :)
There were lots of activities every day in this big guild. What I can't forgot are the raids. We formed 40-people raids almost every day and people were so punctual to wait for the invite. And by the way, I was the first troll to get that cool undead mount on my server.
I was playing WoW with my laptop, which had a 128MB memory card. The funniest part was I did not even realize that. My game lagged a lot and I couldn't move if there were so many players in the same area. One time we went to raid Kazzak, I could barely move one step. When it finally stopped lagging, this was the miserable scene I saw.
My boyfriend and I were very active. We took part in every raid in the evening from 7 to 12. We didn't even have time to cook decent meals. Normally we just had some noodles or ordered pizza. We turned down lots of dinner invitation and social activities. After these hard-working days, I became the best hunter with top gears on the server.
One time our scout found that the respawns of emerald dragons were bugged. Everyone was so excited and we were busy running among Hinterlands, duskwood, Feralas and Ashenvale to kill these four bosses and got the epic loots. Warlocks were busy with summoning, priests were busy with healing, druids were busy with battle rez, and I was busy shooting behind everyone. We didn't stop raiding until every one got enough natural-res gears for Huhuran and that was already 8 in the morning. That was really crazy but it also became one of the funnies thing I will miss.
I was also very enthuestic about farming reputation. In order to get that Defender of the Timbermaw trinket, my boyfriend and I have stayed in Winterspring for many days to farm reputation of Timbermaw Hold. The final part of the whole process is Thrall's speech. It was kind of unexpected. I am really happy I just captured the moment of he said "Qin--a true hero of the horde!" :D
