It all started many years ago when I was on a two week vacation at Christmas time. A few months earlier, two of my sons had just started playing a game called World of Warcraft and convinced me to try it.
We set up a trial for me to play around with and at 2am I sent them to Walmart to buy me the game 'cause I didn't want to lose my progress and have to start over. I was hooked, and it was all downhill from there. Gaming runs in the family.
At the time, there were no "pretty" characters. I wanted to play Alliance because they were pretty.
Well, the guys revolted at that idea, so I picked a Horde Tauren. I was a cow. That's about as "unpretty" as you can get. Even an undead priest with their bones sticking out is more attractive than a cow, and they're only one small step above being a green orc. But a cow I chose and a cow I stayed.
I then made the fantastic decision to play a resto shaman. Yes, I leveled from 1-60 as resto. RESTO! What the hell was I thinking? I was too shy to join groups (there was no LFR back then) so I quested and killed stuff. Well okay, I quested and tried to kill stuff.
Oh sure, along the way I made a few alts - priest, mage, hunter, warlock, which I still have, but they mostly just farm stuff for me. I seem to always came back to that cow.
Le sigh. That cow of mine is, and always will be my main. I love my cow.
