I had been debating purchasing the xpac immediately upon release, but my choice was made much easier when I realized the release coincided with studying for finals and paper due dates. Considering I owe just about as much in student loans as I do on my mortgage at this point, school is my first priority. I also had some concerns about whether starting my account up again was a good idea in the first place, since my gaming habit can hardly be satisfied by playing only an hour or so here and there. I didn’t want to get sucked back in, but I did have a hankering for seeing the new content.
So my well-meaning girlfriend got me Cataclysm for Christmas. Which sat around for two months, uninstalled. I couldn’t let it sit around forever, as it would be very rude to waste such a thoughtful gift. There was also the idea of returning to Pilsner and the now-defunct Unemployed guild, but it seemed a little painful to log into him and see the guild tag over my head, knowing that my former comrades-in-arms were now distributed among other guilds and servers, or not playing at all anymore.
That particular problem was solved fairly quickly, as I had a friend in school who’d been urging me to resub and roll a character on his server, Elune. The only downside there was that he played Alliance, and I’m a staunch supporter of the Horde. Lok’tar ogar, bitches! Not to mention, looking at Night Elves’ behinds makes me vomit in my mouth. But hey, what’s this new playable race? Worgen? They’re mistrustful of Humans, and I can be a druid? So I can subvert the Alliance from within? Hell. Yes.
And so Furminator was born, and my attempt to play WoW sans semi-hardcore raiding had begun!
