Hello, BYOB. This thread is exactly what it sounds like. I'll be honest, I was feeling a bit bad about not finishing the Pokemon LP (thanks salmiakki) so I figured I'd try and do an LP of a game that i could keep sustained interest in. Now, I know what you're thinking. World of Warcraft? Seriously? It's actually not that bad. The gameplay may be dated, but it's still an expansive world that doesn't take itself too seriously, and there's enough neat stuff here and there to show to y'all.

This LP definitely isn't going to get into raiding or anything like that, instead focusing on leveling, sightseeing and whatever interesting stuff may be hiding in Azeroth. Who knows where it'll take us?

To that end, let's make us a character. First, we need to pick a class.

warriors are big ol' dudes or dudettes in heavy armor that hit things, using the power of anger to fuel special attacks.

hunters are sort of the stereotypical ranger, wielding a bow (or gun), setting traps for their foes and employing the aid of an animal companion.

rogues have two deadly weapons: sneaking and knives.

priests can heal their allies and protect themselves with holy incantations, or just as easily wield deadly shadow magic to bring pain and insanity to their foes.

shamans draw their power from the very earth itself to do such things as walk on water, throw lightning, and heal their allies. they also have totems, which do things.

paladins are a bit of warrior and a bit of priest.

monks are mystical hand-to-hand fighters with hella mobility.

warlocks wield dark and powerful magics to wither their opponents, manipulate souls, and summon demon friends.

druids can shapeshift, taking on a number of forms to fulfill any role.

there's also mages, but i've already got one of those, so that's off the table. vote about it, please!

Let's say upkeep since I don't know where or when I'd end it, but yes. :toxx:

But I can't finish it without starting it, and to that end I'd love it if you voted too.

it's hunters who get animal companions. druids are their own animal companions though.
