It's true. After all this time that I told my friends I don't care about WoW (World of Warcraft) because I was having too much fun with Ragnarok Online, I finally got my hands on WoW. My good friend, James, is in the Navy and he's getting shipped out to Iraq in a few days, so he dumped his WoW and Burning Crusade expansion on me telling me to hang on to it and use it while he's gone for the next 2 years.

So I installed it, started playing it, and was pretty impressed (although it does seem to be made with the same engine as Guild Wars, just without as good graphics as GW has; however, the gameplay far more than makes up for that). Now, my only predicament was that I'm a full-time student and have no income. I lent all of my student loan money to my mother who got in a financial hole, and my only regret about that is because she pays me back just enough to pay my bills but only when it's convenient for her.

So, I found a solution to the problem (as far as WoW goes). That solution is the Project Northrend free WoW server. Its XP rate is the same as the standard Blizzard server, so it's no different (I don't know about any of you, but I'm not a fan of playing MMORPG free servers where you gain 8 levels by killing one enemy; I like to earn my rewards).

So if anyone feels like joining the server, which hasn't given me any trouble in the past few days, feel free to jump on in. Right now, I'm primarily playing as a Blood Elf Paladin named "Raleigh".
