As the title states!
- My reason: I was quite lonely in ground school and felt like I didn't fit in due to being more of a tomboy. As such, I didn't feel like I had a whole lot of friends outside of school to play with (something that I did actually have but may have taken for granted) and I ended up finding comfort in interacting with people in World of Warcraft

After that it was pretty easy. I convinced my parents to buy it for me at my 12th birthday under the provision that I would only play it on weekends and hollidays. That was the beginning of my journey. It was long and ardurous.
I read and reread the little instruction booklet like my personal little bible in my schol time (fell from an straight A to a C later saved myself to an B+).
My first character was a night elf hunter called Logolass. He. Was. Magnificent. He died to a grell at level 2. I didnt know how to revive, and the little book (yes a book of practically 50 pages as an instruction) didnt say ANYTHING on how to revive your character. So i deleted him and started a new character. This time it was a dwarf warrior called Gomlin. He was epic. I had no money, because i always repped ALL of my equipment and after a while i had to run around in cloth robes.
From there i went through all the games:
Guild Wars to Aion. From Anno to the Settlers, to Civilization. Oblivion to The Book of Unwritten Tales. Total War to Diablo II. Borderlands, Stellaris, Space Engineers, Divinity, Fatorio, Monster Hunter, Magicka, Red Faction, RimWorld, Terraria, Minecraft and XCOM, to name only a few. Name a game and I most likely heard of or played it^^
(I was lucky that most of my friends wanted to play all these with me)
Good times.
I remember my first character being a nightelf druid and I was so in love with her! I was always so fixated on looking cool in the beginning.
I remember one of my earlier memories of WoW being me in a dungeon "Need looting" everything I could get my eyes on and getting called a ninjalooter multiple times during runs. I always thought it was a positive thing so I would always thank them.
To this day I still cringe over the thought of little me
I could only really PLAY WoW in BC and started a new character, the first character that I would actually get to max level.
The Draenei Paladin Maximus. He was a tank/retibution paladin with a two handed hammer. I remember when I got Level 40 and recieved my riding mount. I would ride up and down in RP walk in Loch Modan and help everyone questing xD
I didnt really understand what Greed and Need was so I always greeded on everything that could be sold for gold and needed on everything that i could equip and that was a bit better then what i had on (it didnt matter that that weapon was the bis for 15lvls for that warrior, it did 10dps more then my old weapon!)
Brings back memories. Voodoo 4500, Pentium III...
10 players together? Really?
And that's how I started.
Most of my Activision bros were playing UO, but I refused to play that because I'm a carebear and UO is too PvP-centric for me.
Formerly T-Elf
From there WoW, EQ, EQ2, Aion and a whole bunch of other MMO's. But ya by accident literally.
Sounds like a happy accident haha
