A couple of months into the Mists of Pandaria-expansion for World of Warcraft, I stopped playing simply because of time. I had previously played on a non-stop subscription for 6½ years, which ended during cataclysm, so I didn’t really have the drive to play, nor did I have the time to commit to anything serious (raiding or pvp).

Another reason that turned my drive for the game “off”, was the fact that I was playing horde. I do not like the horde, exclusively for aesthetic reasons. The races and cities are, for the most part, rough, serious, spikey, brutish and down-right ugly. Especially anything involving the orcs, including Orgrimmar, is and always will be, a huge part of the Horde’s infrastructure. It looks bad :(

Orgrimmar is ugly :c

Since Warlords of Draenor I’ve been playing World of Warcraft once again. For the expansion I made a paladin, got it to level 90 with the free boost and started leveling on Draenor. Now, I’m somewhat of a lore-geek so I decided to do all quests (including reading them all, so I knew what was going on), while not doing any dungeons. My thought process behind this was that doing a dungeon would mess with my leveling curve and cause me to eventually outlevel the zones before finishing them. I figured I could always do the dungeons later at level 100, either in normal or heroic.

Wrong kind of ladder

THE FIRST REAL BLOG POST OF DOUBLEDAIR.NET - HURRAY! :D And when I say real, it's because I previously used some test blogs with random stuff to see how everything works ;)

And to start this off, I think it would be a great idea to talk about my plans and hopes for this site. In other words: The past, present and future of Doubledair.net... Well, except the past... That wouldn't really make sense... So I'll put in my dream instead! :D
