Binds on Equip
9 October 2007
The inspiration of this blog comes from the numerous World of Warcraft blogs available out there. Though no one specific blog inspired this one, I do admire many of them out there.
I started playing World of Warcraft (unofficially) in early August when I borrowed one of my friends’ warlock for a week because he wasn’t going to be able to log on for some time. Needless to say, jumping into the game at level 20-something was a bit strange because I was learning everything on the fly. Fortunately, I had other friends who had also recently started or have been playing the game to help me out.
It was my first MMORPG, but definitely not a first-timer to Warcraft. Having read a lot of lore along with my introductory play time, I was drawn into getting an account for myself.
Why a hunter? I was probably “forced” into the decision because while playing on my friend’s warlock, I picked up the highly prized [Ranger Bow] by chance from a chest in Duskwood. Of course, I didn’t know how valuable and powerful it was at the time, but reading about it drew me into making a hunter as my first character.
If you’re curious, no, I didn’t use it to “twink” my hunter. I am now using a different bow after hitting level 30, but I have that first bow to blame for drawing me into this game! Since I hit level 40 last Sunday, I figured this would be a good starting point as any to start writing.

It totally wasn’t the bow, btw, that got you addicted. You were looking up WoW stuff before you even started playing the lock :P

[...] we are not our armor and weapons. But one bow has always been a part of me. The [Ranger Bow] was one of the reasons I wanted to play a hunter when I was looking into WoW. I would buy another one from the auction [...]
