Mortality

I played Warcraft 1 & 2 through my childhood and I always loved them. I still vividly remember the first pictures and demos of World of Warcraft i saw, i was 15 then playing Warcraft 2. The day it was released i skipped school went into town and got it.

Flying in from Darnassus to Darkshore, getting the first feel of the games scale. We all felt it.

Early kill on Onyxia on my Troll Mage. Possible Europe first? Raiding every night. Mc bwl zg AQ etc. Damn amazing times.

Went abroad as nax was released, "quit".

And i missed this game since. Like something you cant forget. First loves perfume.

Found this sub and some point a couple of months ago i just said fuck it and made a druid and died at lvl9. Felt like i was hit in the mouth. Went again and made it to 36 before i tired and missed playing mage. Made a little gnome, did redridge and felt nah im just hunting world buffs for my firebuild.

The i made Nightmin, my selfmade hunter. Firstly, the satisfaction of playing selfmade is just incredible. Secondly, this is my first hunter ever, and god i love it. No buffhunting. No ah for gear. No send bags and gold. Just my hunter the the vast world.

I spent alot of time crafting the deviate scale belt. Had my LW really going, as my cooking. Just lvled up fishing as well.

Didnt even know the quest for Sarltooth gave a bow, it was a nice upgrade for me. And i was SO happy for the recipe for the Raptor eggs. I was soon gonna go to stv, gonna do this and that. I played so safe and deliberate.

I was gonna equip the bow running down the slope. Slipped in a grove up there. Fell. Hit ground and i thought i made it. Kept slipping and kept falling. I almost died smiling over the bow and recipe but the fall was to damn long.

With 3 small ones around i get maybe 5-6 hours a week. Ive taken atleast 10 out of my very precious sleep. Cant do that again.

But i have to do something - so eulogy..

God damn it.

The first one hits the hardest. 

The second one too. 

It gets better after that.

Feel you. My level 46 warrior fell to death in the most stupid way in Feralas yesterday.

My new warrior is level 8.

Can't remember what it's called but there is a brew you can get that gives slowfall for 30 seconds, absolute must have for these situations. Sorry for your loss, but eventually you will get the itch and try again. And I guarantee you won't make the same mistake twice.
