I had just gotten to level 15 and had already reported to Jaina and saved the Blue Recluse from its horrible ghost infestation. [more]

When you're on the side of the Alliance on a PvP server, MOST of the time you have to fight Horde. [more]
On Deployment
Lovemymonkey, Laughing Skull
Last February, my unit was deployed to Iraq. The first few months here were very busy and stressful, and I was always looking for a way to connect with guys I lived with. Then one day I visited a friend’s room and saw him playing World of Warcraft, and he started to explain the entire game to me. [more]
Sitrep
David, Iraq - Poppnmycolla, Area 52
I have been playing World of Warcraft since March of 2007, when I was in A-school for the U.S. Marines. I started to keep in touch with many of my good friends from my childhood whom I had known for 10-plus years, and we grouped up together on the same realm. [more]
Tier 6 Friendship

The second Arena season was half over and there I was, in the middle of the ocean, sitting on the water thinking of what to do next (as shamans like myself often do). [more]
Kitten Companion
Anonymous
When World of Warcraft was barely out of its first month I had already found myself a great guild full of cool people who were fun to hang around with. One of the officers of the guild had taken in a kitten recently to take care of and had fallen in love with it. [more]
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]
Getting Involved
Mamadee, The Scryers
I have always been the type of mom who was totally involved in my kids’ activities, EXCEPT for gaming. Even though I can recall each summer vacation by what videogame dominated their time, I never had the interest to sit down and actually play one with them. Well, at least until my oldest went off to college and the nest started to dwindle. [more]

About one year ago, thanks to World of Warcraft, I met my wife Lori at the middle school where we both teach. [more]
Having Fun
Febrower, Korialstrasz
Back in beta, my husband rolled a gnome mage and had a grand old time trouncing around Azeroth. [more]
Best Friends
Jonoh, Mal'Ganis
In my first days of World of Warcraft, I was a curious little tauren druid. Running through Ashenvale exploring new territory in my newly acquired cat form, it wasn't long until I stumbled upon another new territory that appeared in red letters on my screen that read "Darkshore (Alliance Territory)."

Hugging a Bear

"I want to be able to turn into a bear," my mother-in-law said, studying the character creation screen. [more]
Guildmates reunited
Coldylocks, Burning Legion
Way back in the day (and when I say back in the day, I mean before Diablo 2 had even come out, to give you an idea of how long ago this was) I was in a guild on Battle.net. We tore it up in StarCraft and were big into those silly channel moderation wars back before chat bots were restricted. [more]
Guild Drama

Everyone talks about guild drama. Let me tell you about mine. [more]
