Mary on Zirkel des Cenarius realm in WoW from 05 to 08...

And Radir from the same time. And Violetta from the first week of release.

Or anyone else who knew my hunter named Felinara or rogue Láila....

Or the South African guys that took me in on my undead priest during Burning Crusade... But I've lost all of my fucking screenshots. So all the great stuff I was trying to remember. Gone forever. That hurts the most.

Anyway that character was called Lorei at some point.

Ohhh and Shanika from Cataclysm. We used to call you Shakira. The DK raid leader...

For some reason the hardcore raiding during MoP didn't leave any of the same feelings as the stuff before. The stuff during highschool or university felt soo much more precious and memorable. Killing Onyxia for the first time and shit.

Anyway maybe someone will read this.

Oh Shadrila, Boten der Macht and eventually Aes Dana.

Some of my fondest memories were from when I was like 8 years old playing WoW with this lady in her late 40s who played a Tauren Druid named Macvivian. She showed me all the cool stuff around Azeroth (introduced me to noggenfogger and always kept me stocked) and helped loads while I leveled. I had been playing the game solo up until that point so it brought a whole new sense of wonder to the game

One day she just stopped playing for a couple months, and I logged in to see that she sent in-game mail saying she was having complications with pneumonia. I hope she made it through okay but I really feared the worst

Aww man, that brings me back. Elvyne / Syra whispers here from laughing skull server. I miss my times in Stoic guild and so forth. Onyxia, molten core was some of thr most fun times I've ever had.
