User:Maulazar

After creating an account with an unimaginative summoner name this last weekend, as I had a major brain freeze, I got my wits about me last night and made Maulazar, which is based on my WoW druid I recently started on Emerald Dream.

Isn't history fun?

The reason I bring up WoW is I was there from before day one, taking part in the initial Beta. I was the only person I knew jumping on board, where everyone else was all about Everquest II. Everyone else quit EQII many years ago.

As WoW wanes, though they've taken great strides to keep it exciting, I've been looking for something not so limiting. After playing Skyrim for four months, I still have trouble with the whole 'level your character and if you want to do something else, level again' style that the 'classic' MMO presents.

For many reasons, League of Legends has captured my interest very quickly. I see so many things in this game I've been aching for. I will always consider Skyrim to be the ultimate single player game, and WoW will always hold a place in my heart (and will continue to benefit from my bank account, at least for now) but LoL has proven there's still so much room for different kinds of fun.

So now I sit here wishing I'd been there at the start. I checked out DOTA style play as soon as I had heard about it, but all I remember was thinking it was overly complicated and didn't feel like having to figure out, what I called, a 'Warcraft III ripoff'. I'm not sure if it was LoL, but I played for a half and hour and moved on.

I was wrong.

I have many more thoughts on all this, but that's enough for now. I may or may not blab further at http://jb3wisc.wordpress.com
