   I recently fired up my World of Warcraft account and I started a new
   character on a new server. I had a level 55 night elf Hunter on
   Zul'jin but I've since moved to Steamwheedle Cartel and fired up a
   blood elf Paladin named Maelnerana. I took the name from a character
   in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game (which I collect).

   I'm trying a different gameplay approach. I left WoW about a year or
   so ago because I got tired of the grind. I don't like sitting
   somewhere for hours just killing stuff to level. It's boring. So, what
   I'm doing now is restricting my actions to quests only. If it's not in
   a quest for me to kill I'll try to avoid it. I like how it's working
   out so far. It feels like I'm actually accomplishing something within
   the world and I know that everything I do is for a purpose beyond my
   own leveling. It's nice to have someone to go back to to thank you for
   your actions and throw a little coin your way. And, typically, it
   seems the XP payout is larger and quicker than if I were to forgo
   quests in favor of the grind.

   So, anyway, if you're on Steamwheedle, and you're Horde, say hi or
   something. I accept tribute in gold and blue and purple items.
