Beginnings

I started playing World of Warcraft in the tag end of Burning Crusade. My boyfriend was over the moon with the game and one day I asked him if I could play a character. I swear the world just stopped and he turned with the biggest grin on his face and said of course.

Faced with a million and a half choices, I ended up with a female Troll priestess. He warned me to play a damage character, but I was stubborn and said if this was a multi-player game then I would play a healer-type character.

Unfortunately, healers don't kill things very fast. As in they kill things really, really, really slow. So, I would stand in Orgrimmar and /2 Healer looking for <Dungeon>. It went along pretty well, because at that point there was always a few people that wanted to do it and were just looking for a healer.

And so I leveled.

About a week before Lich King was launched I decided to shell out for my own account. I wanted to play this fun game.

So I started again. I leveled my new Troll priestess, I named her Aricelle and off we went to heal the sick, help the poor..... and get lost in every dungeon known to man.

And now, I've server transferred and faction changed and race changed.

Aricelle now has pretty Draenei horns and silver skin. She has 2 new sisters: a Dwarf shaman named Arigin and a Night elf druidess named Arigwen.


And these are going to be my field notes, in the hopes that another healer may learn from my mistakes.
