Got a 10-day trial for World of Warcraft yesterday. The game took a billion years to load on my computer, but only 6 updates, and I was ready to play. It started off fairly slow, and I died a lot. But that’s because I didn’t bother to read anything about the game before I jumped right in. After a while, I had a few people helping me kill things, and I’ve discovered that it’s not half bad.

After befriending one person who even made me a present (but it’s taking forever for me to get it) and helped me with a few quests, I decided to venture out alone and try a few more. I got to a field where I was supposed to kill some boars for a pie. Eww, I know. I was just getting ready to heal myself after killing one, when I noticed my health going up incredibly rapidly all on its own. I looked over, and some random person had bandaged my wounds, then ran away! Didn’t even ask for a thank you!

I’m warming up to this game, just a little bit.
