Well, when I was a kid my uncle was playing Wow and Diablo 2. Me and my brother wanted to play, and he let us each play on the games. I proceeded to make a blood elf and run straight off the map somehow. (I had no idea how I could get out of the water) So, I tried Diablo while my brother tried Wow. I remember telling my uncle that diablo was a much funner game. But that is what would lead me to eventually starting wow a couple years later in the middle of Mists of Pandaria.
I never made it to endgame content in mists, but just running around like a noob dying to everyday mobs was kind of fun.
