After going through my screenshots folder – I really need to organize the thing – I found what I think is my first WoW Screenshot. I had taken a screenshot to put on my Lifejournal to show my friends aha. I was so proud of this little gnome.
This is Prim. I obviously didn’t know how to change the setting to not show helmets at this point.
I loved questing at this point! Running around like a little maniac, stabbing and collecting things. I read the quest text religiously – the thought of asking for help mortified me. I discovered Wowhead pretty early on as well.
The Shattering was taking place when I started WoW. It completely freaked me out one day when earthquakes started. I had no idea what was happening! I didn’t even know there was an expansion coming. And when I logged on one day and all of my interface and abilities had changed I was horrified. I couldn’t figure out what I had done wrong! I wasn’t even in a guild at that point, so I just … figured it out and plunged on.
And that is how I started WoW.
EDIT:
I found an even older screenshot! Hadn’t the foggiest how to make the UI disappear. And I’d never seen another dead character before. Oh, dear.
Haha! That rat vermin got ya
Cute gnome! Aren’t those first memories so fun!
They are! I’m pretty sure half the screenshots I took at that point were accidental, too.
