On Deployment Lovemymonkey, Laughing Skull

Bridging the Gap Vanessa, Evansville, Indiana - Cellinda, Cenarion Circle

One year ago at Christmas time I bought a copy of World of Warcraft for my college-age son. His friends at school were all playing, and being a videogame buff he wanted to try for himself. He created a human warrior on Mug'thol and started playing. I frequently came in and watched him play, and decided it looked like so much fun I would create a character for myself. I created a separate account and created a human paladin for myself. We quested together and had a grand time! [more]
