That Which Began It All

When starting a game-based blog, there are a few ways you can go about it. Ideally, you want to present a unique perspective with enough wit and intelligent content to amuse and educate your readers.

This may not be that blog!

My credentials are as follows:

Main Character: Level 70-ish former BM-turned-survival hunter (gamer with a tendency to want to do many things without having to work hard at it).

Reason for joining: I work with my guild leader and he bugged me for a year to buy the game and join his guild. So, I joined this game for fun and am constantly bemused by the amount of research and work that "fun" requires sometimes.

Now I continue to play, because he kicks my chair at work when I slack off.

My Cohorts: I am part of a casual raiding guild filled with a lot of great, nurturing people on a PVE server.

As my diabolically evil, harsh taskmaster of a Guild Leader describes us:

"...we raid but we're not progression raiding. We don't care how long it takes to clear the place as long as we have fun doing it."

Level of Dedication: Not a number-crunching type and major changes in skills after patches befuddle me. I rely on everyone else to do the hard work and strategy-devising. Then, I follow what they say with minor modifications -- I am capable of some thought processing.

I really hate to do much reading and research when I have a lot of hobbies other than WoW. However, my guildies only let me get away with so much, so I take the time to learn more about playing my class and usually manage to cheat a little by skimming through raid strategies so that I get the basic idea of major fights.

So.

Perhaps this blog will be about how to act like a semi-competent hunter when you're a huntard at heart.

Hah.
