hell no. I started playing it when it first came out. I had bone armor (which was one of the better armors at the time) and then took a 2 month break. I came back and everyone was so advanced beyond my character it was ridiculous. I was useless. in fact, some dude felt so bad for me he gave me one of his houses.
that's how MMORPGs get you. you have to play them. a lot.
I'm working on a piece of concept art that will be formed from photographs of WoW gamers. I will up the contrast to highlight the acne and create the Mona Lisa by laying them out and taking a picture from 3,000 ft. above.
Alliance is gay. i have 2 80's as well. although my pally is newly 80. she's still wearing t5 gear.
alliance pre-bc(when wow was good) was were everyone wanted to be. i had two lvl 60 chars on shattered hand in full tier 3(naxx) and at that time that was an accomplishment and a half. then TBC came out I got to 70 and lost interest in WoW for good.
