I was there from day one and from day one …I learned that the game was a major haul and grind. However I was already invested in it. I was a pvper but raided on the side. my guild was so determined to take the #1 place in raiding they would pay for transfers. So we all went from skullcrusher to shattered hand server. I wanted to follow them so I joined them, but they started to fall apart. I met someone new on the game and he brought me to twisting nether on the horde side. I was enjoying myself over there and my guild refused to go over there this was when bc hit.
I said screw it, I’m over my guild. We had one of the best warriors/healers in the game at the time and he was my friend. He would come over to my house and let me play his toons in pvp, it was pretty fun. But after I left the server everything went to crap. I found myself playing on Twisting nether more and more and before I knew it I was there for good. well after a while my friend that brought me to Twisting nether he hijacked my account. Yep. He god rid of all the hard work I did in the game and I called blizzard and they said we will bring up your characters but you will have to buy your way back. I honestly was so angry and frustrated because my lady I have spent day in and day out trying to land grand marshel, her gear was all gone. yep that guy deleted it all. This was right after BC launched. The Bliz devs told me I had to buy it back with in game gold and professions.
I had enough gold to buy one char back and honestly I went with my warlock because I had my hunter and her but I was in love with my lock more so, even though my hunter had over 20k kills and back then it meant something. So , i forfeited my hunter and she was naked forever because back then gold was harsh and I could only choose one with the money I had. so , when BC came out I went to the horde side because I was in love with my shadow priest, So here I was on Twisting nether and that is the person who stole my account came from , btw, he did meet me up and give me some gold and apologize. but my hunter on shattered hand was still sitting naked. It was so sad… but listen had to buy my toons back with in game mats depending on my craft. NO joke. So I had to come up with so many jewels and what ever they wanted to get my toons back and they wanted precise things such as everything from enchanting so I had to get those to save just one toon. I had to make a choice of who I liked more and I chose my warlock over my hunter because again I had more fun with her and thats what is all about. I don’t think that Blizzard thought I was truly hacked by that guy I trusted so much…I had to work to get my toons back. and the reality of it all is that back then it sucked. It was difficult to just trust where today, forget about it, dont trust anyone with your account. It was a real nightmare. Imagine you try to log into your account and you cant and all your hard work is gone…because you trusted the one wrong mofo. I think after that I moved on to BC and met some great friends but back in the day you had to buy your way back into the game and , my hunter was stuck in deadwood. The Ironic thing is that , that is where I started to kill players left and right.
I remember every single day trying to get Grand Marshell Rank and it was always just me and a warrior and we would start at 7am and fight in bgs till usually 7 hours later , just to keep our pvp title. It was funny. and back then there were no cross servers or nothing so you are fighting the same folks on your server. It truly was once in a lifetime battle.I really don’t wanna do it again . lol
