"Why isn't WoW more like Second Life"
because though I enjoy being social with a guild and hanging out and running instances, I don't want to virtual cook or virtual clean with these people. I'm not paying 15 dollars a month to do something online that I can do in person, regardless of how well it makes me feel about WoW being a replacement for actual honest-to-god human contact.

what's there to lose

My one and only character is at 42 right now, so I see no point to get it. I'll grab this when I hit 58 before I have a chance to run to the store.

So they nerfed dire bear, but they boosted moonkin. All they did was trying to make balance and feral even specs. I'm even now considering going towards moonkin once I hit 40.

"Nahiossi"

I was rolling a tauren druid, and so I decided to look up Native American names. "Nahiossi" means "three fingers", which is perfectly suited for my tauren character.

I installed it, and 2 hours later uninstalled it. It's really pretty. It does everything you think wow should when its installed.
But it does too much. I'm fairly new to the game, but even I could tell its over the top. The biggest add-ons i was using were metahud and bongos. This took me an hour to get to a configuration I like, and even after that it was just too much.
There was one thing I liked. The 3D models when you selected an enemy or ally. Is there a standalone add-on I could get for that?

"No you can't use buffs during ale pong."

Writing this comment took about a minute total.

I spent my first 30 levels without a minimap up there in the upper right. I apparently had closed it on the first day and never worked out that you could open it up if you hit the X. But I had ironforge MEMORIZED, let me tell you.

I rolled a Pally ages ago because of the same reasons as you. I wanted to deal damage and heal it. Eventually, I didn't mind being the guy there for support auras and general buffs. Now I just recently rolled a druid, and I'm kind of bummed that when I reach endgame, I'll be forced to respec to healing. Shaman, Druid, and Paladin are classes with hybrid potential that is wasted because no one picks preist.
