Due to profile character limits, here's a bit more about myself. A sort of FAQ, if these were actual frequently asked questions rather than me just talking to myself. Here goes!
I swore when I decided to dive into MoP Classic for the lost lore that I wouldn't go for any achievs/mounts. I didn't want to get something in Classic I didn't have in Retail because that would be annoying 😅. I have this one, but I was a little mad that I wasn't even trying this time. #warcraft

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

Because I'm me and do this kind of thing, I created a toon to record the current version of Exile's Reach to spot the differences with the upcoming new version (also as a way to reserve a name for my Haranir.)

1) since mid-WotLK, this still makes me a n00b to some but let's say B
2) Allorde? Hordiance? AB
3) My achievement score tells different tales to different players & I'm still learning ABC
4) 6/7, D - M+? There are 7 choices!
5) If you want to chat lore for 10 hours while playing, we already frens!

Amazing how a few additions and changes to the Exile's Reach quest made it so much better. It's mostly the same, but now, because of some additional characters, you get to read this much improved quest text 😂

Got to say, "you think you want that, but you don't" when asked to pull a ridiculous amount of analytics for specific web pages today... 👀
(The story's the same across the site, no single page performance is going to matter. Did I look some up anyway? Yes. But I ain't charting it!)

What is my first plan with the beta tomorrow? The mission is as it always is with access to content before it's live: get to the spoilers before someone spoils for me!
Then check out the new Exile's Reach stuff.
Then housing. Of course housing.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

NYC, where I can get into a mock fight with three French gentlemen over the last remaining packages of raclette at Trader Joes.
They said, jokingly, "for French only!" I put up my fists to pretend challenge them to fisticuffs. They said they would save me a slice with a pat on the shoulder! 😂

This so much (also extra props for illustrating this point with Veritistrasz).
As a Machinima-maker & Content Creator. The amount of joy I would have if WoW had its own "Warcraftforge" would be astounding. It can be a pain in the open world when recording a scene.
(Aka its a phase where it's just you and you can build and place NPCs around for a video.)
