Ahem, I meant *never*, obviously… but come on, this shared topic comes from the lovely gun lovin dwarf chick Breana, co-host of the Twisted Nether Blogcast - you know I can’t resist stupid lil puns n such! Or do you… oh well, I do, so there!
Aaaanyhoo, like I was saying, Bre’s posted an awesome shared topic over at the Blog Azeroth forums, and here it is -
Recently, in BA chat, I spoke about my guild progress and how we killed Mags the week before. Then the conversation turned to getting the “Champion of the Naruu” title. Which got me thinking, I actually can do that quest and get that title! Something I thought I would never see, let alone attain, was now an achievable goal.
What about you? Think back.
What content or goals did you think you would never see, and what have you done? What has surprised you the most? Where do you see yourself in 6 months, after the launch of Lich?
Wow, well… where to begin?
I remember thinking I’d never hit level 60. It took me 11 months to get there - ELEVEN MONTHS! In my defence though, I was cooking and then caring for a cute lil dude who I named my mage after. 
I remember thinking I’d never get to see the inside of Molten Core - then we downed Raggy baby!
I remember thinking I’d never get to raid as anything but an innervate biatch. LOOK AT ME NOW!!
I remember thinking that *if* I was lucky I might, just maybe, manage to see some of SSC and TK. Well, I still haven’t seen them, but this week it was me and Archi. I was bouncing around in my seat like a hyperactive 3 year old during the whole 3.5 hour raid! Much in the way MY hyperactive 3 year old does if I ever let him near my baby (that would be the Mac folks, not his younger sibling).
A year ago I had no idea blogs existed, nevermind blogs that were solely about WoW - who knew I’d end up writing one myself, and become part of an awesome bloggy community?
I never would have dreamed that I’d leave my guildies (and husband!) in The Black Citadel, but I did. Not only that, but I ended up changing servers on top of it all, and this occured - you guessed it, because of the bloggy friends I made.
In 6 months time… I see myself having killed that git Archi, hopefully having done most (if not all) of BT, and maybe a little of Sunwell before Wrath came out. I don’t see myself getting a BETA key for wrath, but oh.. OH HOW I WANT ONE!!! (Hai, if you get one and don’t want it… feel free to give it to meee - I will love you forever, just don’t tell the hubby!!).
Once WoLTK is released? I actually have some sort of a plan this time around. I want to be one of those guildies who levels up relatively quickly. Not that I don’t want to miss what’s actually going on in the quests and such, but I would love to be one of those players in the core group who are first to take on the new content, rather than slip to the end of the queue like I did previously, both pre- and post- TBC.
One way or another, I definitely still intend to be playing wow… and to be in my current guild… and my Boomkin will always, always be my main lady, even though she doesn’t exactly look like a lady with all those feathers n… stuff… anyway… you’re not going to see this change into a death knight blog anytime soon!

Oh it’s about everything I’m doing right now actually. Especially if I’m thinking a bit further back… I remember clearly in june last year, as I was struggeling to finally get my main to 70… My family thought that would pretty much be the end of my playing, since then I’d reach the goal and there wouldn’t be much more to do. That’s it sort of.
Little did I know… That the journey just had begun, that it was NOW that the game became fun for real.
I keep surprising myself from day to day. Who knows, in six months I’ll maybe be a dedicated arena player? I’ve stopped taking things for granted. Anything is possible. Anything.

The number one thing that I have done, that I thought I’d never do, is get my wife to play the game with me. For a year I told her she might like it, and she should join me in Azeroth, and for a year she said she would never enjoy playing a game about killing things, and running around forever, and she didn’t like that there was no “pause” button.
One weekend I asked her to just play 30 minutes with me, no committments, just 30 minutes. She agreed and a few months later those alts we rolled together are level 70 and itching to get into Karazhan! She still doesn’t like the no pause feature, but she adores tailoring, leveling, and the social aspect of the game as well with the friends we’ve made in our guild.
I’ve been a fairly casual player since I started, so it was momentus when I ran Kara for the first time as well. Still don’t know if I’ll see 25 person content, but as others can attest to, anything can happen.

It took me 60 days /played to get to level 70, and left me a broken man lol. I don’t think I’ll ever get a 2nd 70, let alone a third.
