I’ve been playing this game since 2007 (I think it is), and I still do. I take some breaks now and then, but I play it fairly often.
For historic reasons I thought maybe it’s time for a few screenshots of some of my characters. Mostly because of their mogs, and some for their names. I will also have a quick explanation for their names if there’s a point to it.
I haven’t done many screenshots since I got a new gaming PC, so the graphics are much better than it used to either way.

I consider this character to be my main HordeUndead Mage: Vooligan is in relation with the Australian band Karnivool. I actually have a hat from them with that word on hit.

There we go, a little overview of some of my characters. Not all are level 60 yet, and I have close to 50 characters overall. Some are very low level though.
I haven’t played for the full 15 years, but I’ve been on and off since 2007. š Pretty crazy to think that this game is 15 years old nowadays though.
The classic version of WoW will be released soon (August 27th I believe it is), and yesterday we could finally pick 3 character names each.
This is what the queue looked like (~7100) to log into the game, not even 15 minutes after they made it available:
Two minutes earlier the queue was over 10k – and approx. 45 minutes estimated time to log in. Since people were only creating characters they weren’t logged on for that long I guess, so the queues went down quickly. š
