Where do I come from?

I have been looking for a few new creative outlets and I have been looking for this to be something I can work on as I get warlock information and what thoughts I have on these things.  Now, for this to be able to be worth anything at all, I think we need to see where I came from in this game, where I am, and where I am looking to be in the future.  So let's start History of the Warlock: Part 1(bonus points if you get the reference).

I began my actual work with these games from Blizzard with Diablo2, mainly to socialize with friends I had met when I moved.  This is very important because I still see it as one of the most perfect online multiplayer games ever created.  The story sucked you in and gave you that absolutely epic feel and drive to get onto that ladder, doing hours of Cow Levels, and Pindle/Baal runs.  Brings a smile to my face to still think about that max level Necromancer with a full Trang-Oul's Avatar which was an absolute bastard to farm out and get my hands on.  As much as this was something I spent a lot of time doing, I myself did not actually do much hard core playing as Diablo2 was designed to be able to pick it up and and drop it whenever I needed to.  With that 56k modem connected to our phone line I could just drop the game I was in if the phone rang and it was an important call no harm no foul, just restart another game and wait for another group of people to join ya.  We didn't even have any sort of VoIP because the game was not entirely too complex, you would just farm things over and over with the same mindless mechanics, but I couldn't get enough. 

I then played around with WoW for a bit nothing serious or even past level 30 at launch but I knew the storyline from Warcraft3 and TFT and really wanted to get at it but because of other things going on in my life with high school I never had the chance to really get at it, so I got myself involved with Guild Wars.  This gave me a true idea of what a MMORPG could really offer me(if even on a small level) and I enjoyed sitting around running end game dungeons and PvP with my guild mates while bullshitting on TeamSpeak(I know it was bad) and just enjoying the social aspect of the game at large.  I quickly gave this up during my freshmen year of college due to running around partying and trying to figure out this independence thing with school.  I basically had my video game life at this point consist of Halo LAN parties on our dorm floor while drinking beers and yelling back and forth at each other for that weak ass head shot.

Then once again the world of Azeroth would give me a holler when I walked into a friend's room in January and him and his roommate were BOTH playing WoW.  I looked right at the kid I sorta knew from playing Halo and said "Well shit, now I have to reactivate my account." and he laughed at me and said how his friends from home set him up with the game and that he and his friend were leveling on Burning Blade, he was a night elf druid and his roommate a gnome rouge and while I had originally toyed with the Horde when I first picked up the game, I was OK making an Alliance warlock, so I went and reactivated my account and started leveling Carretta, my female human warlock on Burning Blade in January of 2007.  The server was pretty busy all the time, always able to pick up a group here and there if you wanted one, and me and my two friends were off, playing around in a few leveling guilds, and took a break for a bit while doing the college thing.  I was finally ready to start the end game stuff a year later.
