*grins* Glad you decided to take the chance on this one!
I never played the Warcraft games that came out prior to World of Warcraft in 2004. In fact, I didn't start playing WoW until November of 2007, which was well into The Burning Crusade era!
I totally forgot to add the Warcraft prequel book and the novelization to my Lore list! You're welcome to read either or both of them in addition to spelling out Durotan, if you wish.
And Durotan is a very cool character!
Ahem. my reaction to this was "OMG OMG OMG WARCRAFT!" There may even have been a girlish squeal. Except I'm at work so that couldn't possibly have happened.Great challenge idea :)

I have an level 85 human warlock, a level 58 human death knight, a level 46 night elf hunter and a couple other lower level ones that I was starting out. The level 85 should tell you how long it has been since I've played. lol That was the highest you could get to back then.

Oh, jeez! You last played in Cataclysm! I quit again back in April...but will probably be back for the Pre-Legion quests. You don't want to know how many 100s I have! But I will say the my two go-to classes are Warrior and Death Knight, with Hunters a distant second. I mostly play Alliance, though I do have a Horde warrior for the Double Agent achievement.
I have a level 100 Pandaren Monk (Horde), 100 Draenei Priest, 100 Tauren Druid and then a bunch of various 90s (hunter, paladin, warlock). And a few lower level toons (mage, warrior) as I get bored with the end game stuff.My favorites are the squishy casters and/or healers although I didn't enjoy Pally healing.

I've got a 100 Human Death Knight, a 96 Night Elf Warrior, a 100 Blood Elf Warrior, a 100 Gnome Warrior (Can you tell I really like warriors?!), a 100 Pandaren Monk (Alliance), a 100 Draenei Priest (rolling shadow, I am so not a good healer!), a 100 Draenei Hunter, a 98 Night Elf Rogue, a 92 Draenei Paladin and a second Draenei Hunter at 95. I do have one of every class though, but the rest of the classes are all sitting at level 87. The DK is my main though, with the bevy of warriors being my second favorite class to run, obviously!
I play WOW too. I started during BC. It was a big thing with some librarians and I joined some librarian guilds. I dropped out at the beginning of WotLK and came back during the middle of Cataclysm. Even though I have played for so long I do not have any 100's. I like Night Elves and I love the night elf music.

Night Elves are a favorite for me, especially with their story line, with Draenei being a close second. I do have one of every race, though, but I definitely have favorites!
I'm really looking forward to the movie! It looks way better than I was expecting. When I first heard they were making a movie I was afraid it was going to be super lame. Looks good though!I've been playing WoW off and on since Vanilla. After all these years, I now go through phases- Playing for a few months and then quitting for a few months. I'm currently in my off mode although my account is still active. I watched my husband do the starting quests for the Demon Hunter but I haven't actually done them myself. I'm sure I'll be playing again in August :)
I haven't been very good at updating my challenges but I'll give this a shot!

Hmm...I haven't been able to get in on the starting quests for the Demon Hunters, but I've been off again on my WoW playing...I'll have to go check if they activated it for me yet! (Yeah, I've already pre-ordered Legion...did it at tax time to be sure I would have the money for it!)
With the heat lately, I'm probably going to become an "on-again" player - the computers are in the basement.I healed for a long long long time with my priest, but if I'm honest, I was the weakest link on our dungeon runs and I'm lucky the guild humored me. That said, after I got geared, I'd say things like, "oooooh Halls of Lightning, I LOVE healing this, it's so easy!" and our hunter would proceed to pull the entire instance so I'd have a challenge. Yes, Halls of Lightning is probably one of my last favorite instances and LK is really the last healing I did, although in Pandaren, I spec'd my Monk as a healer for a bit, but I hate healing randoms and our guild is mostly gone.
I bet you do! I might have to check it out later today.Like you, I like my DK's best. I'm partial to my Hunter and Druid too though (alliance) because those were my first 2 characters. Lately when I play I level a character or 2 to 100 and then as soon as the grind (dailies, missions, etc.) starts I get bored and quit, lol. I just like to level them :) Oh and get transmog gear. Gotta look good, haha!
Alliance:
100 Death Knight
100 Hunter
100 Druid
100 Priest
100 Mage
100 Paladin
100 Shaman
Horde:

and several different in 70's-90's range between Alliance and Horde. Yes, I'm a WoW nerd :)

Oh, wow! Lots of toons at 100! Being a WoW nerd is totally cool in my book!
(And no starting quests for me yet!)

Let me know if you want to team up sometime...my account is still active, and I can PM you my BattleTag info. I play mostly Alliance, though I do have two Hordies.
I mostly play alliance too - the hordies I have were because our guild had both and their mains were Horde.Not saying I don't love my cow, I do, he's awesome, but I prefer alliance.

My favorite Hordies are the Trolls (Yeah, I cheered when Voljin was named Warchief), but I do agree with you and prefer my Alliance toons!

I am a double agent too, I have a 100 Human Mage but I mainly use her for farming old raids for mounts and transmog. Can't wait for LEGION!!!
Progress: 14 out of 14
As you may or may not know, I am a bit of a gamer, specifically my main game is World of Warcraft. I've enjoyed my time playing the game so much, I used it as the theme of my student thesis for Early Childhood Education. June 10 marks a red letter day for us Warcraft fans as the Warcraft Movie releases in theaters. Since I won't be able to make it to the movie, I want to celebrate it by doing a foreman challenge.
