One Warning: This is a wall of text.
Introduction:
I've seen a lot of posts here and on other forums where veterans lament the good old days or World of Warcraft. Usually they mean Vanilla Wow, but some consider even BC to be better than now.
I'm writing this to tell all of those veterans (which I assume most of the people here are) what it's like starting out after WotLK.
Some of the stuff in here includes my experiences trying out the game, getting lost, dying, making friends, rerolling a new race and class, low level alts, runs through VC, and a few other things.
The rest of this is at my Livejournal here. If I'm not allowed to link to that I can post it here, but it is long.
