About
I'm new to World of Warcraft, yet I'm not. I started playing a couple years ago and couldn't really get into it, so I gave up. Then later I used ten-day trials on a few occasions and still could not muster the interest to get back into the game. The biggest issue I always had was the graphics... the style in which they are done and the lack of realism and detail always put me off, so I stuck to playing games like Guild Wars and Rappelz because the graphics are so much more stunning than what you find in WoW.

However, after more than three years of playing Guild Wars... seven accounts and over sixty characters, countless hours and countless dollars spent on the accounts, expansions, and extra character slots... I finally played everything possible, every combination and about every skill set you could imagine... and despite constantly dodging the poorly done nerfs by the one fool in charge of game balance, I finally just ran out of things I enjoyed playing. Destroying a skill or group of skills to remove them from viable play is no productive method of balancing a game... and after the years, it's more than taken it's toll on Guild Wars.

First of October my fiance and I picked up WoW again, and this time it didn't seem as bad. We grabbed the Burning Crusade expansion so we could create Blood Elves (since the Night Elves look so bloody ridiculous) and this time it took... we started playing and are actually enjoying ourselves. :)

So far we have a couple of 20something Blood Elves we are playing, and a half dozen other characters from levels 6-14 or so that we are playing with on the side... just trying to get a feel for all the races and classes. Thus far, my primary interest lies in Hunters, Shamans, and Druids, where as my fiance seems to be enjoying Mages and Priests... but we'll keep switching around and playing a little bit of everything until we know them all well enough to make a fair judgment on them. :)

As far as wiki's go... I'm pretty experienced and fairly fluent in the code... so while I won't likely be jumping in to make contributions and edits right away, I will try and contribute when I have something worthwhile to add.
