We’ve come a long, long way together~
Through the hard times and the good.
I have to celebrate you baby…
- Fatboy Slim, Praise You
Wow, just wow. Wow. Did I say WOW yet?
WOW.
Welcome to your 100th post edition of /hug!
I can’t believe I’m at 100 posts and I can only offer immense thanks to those who drop by, read and comment once in a while!
I started this blog back on the 5th of February. I had no real goals regarding writing about a particular aspect of wow but simply said: “This is a blog about me, WoW and what I like about it.” I wanted to share, I wanted to become a better writer and I wanted to play with making pretty pictures. It took me a little while to get into my stride, to be able to write posts shorter than a small novella and to figure out how to make those shiny images sit correctly on the page, though.
Blogging about wow has increased my love of the game – I investigate things more now, I get linked to things concerning aspects of the game I never realised. I’ve made some new friends via blogging and learned an awful lot. I can’t thank the Blog Azeroth community enough – not only for bringing me to all of those bloggers, but also for giving me awesome post fodder.
So, what are you getting for this special (to me, anyway) post? This is a post about growth, about goals and personal achievements and the biggest ‘growth’ factor in WoW is our characters. Whether we have one or five we have all made that journey from level one up. Thus, I went searching through my archives and dug up some old-school screenshots of my characters when they started their journeys.
I hope a few others will do this too - find the earliest possible screenshots of your now super-cool 70’s! Kind of like your mother embarassing you in front of your friends with your baby photos, mwuhahaha! So, 100th post and Sunday Screenies all in one. /score
Oh and I forgot in my last post (I pre-write them) to say a big HELLO to Leafy! He’s taken refuge from G-Drama to come visit Softi and I on Bloodhoof. /hugs I think Softi and I both scared our guildies with all the squeeing…

Grats! You were one of the first blogs I stumbled on, and your support helped me to dare to take the step to start blogging in a foreign language. I’ve always thought that your layout is pretty outstanding among blogs. It’s very special and in a class of its own.
I must disagree though about the avoiding-novella-ideas. There’s nothing wrong about a wall of text if it’s well written and enjoyable. I prefer blogs that have a lot of ideas to share to those that just spam screenshots and inside jokes. But that’s me. I just beg you not to try to be short just for the sake of it.
Anyway it’s always a pleasure to read your posts! I hope you’ll keep up the work so we’ll se post number 200 this winter.
I envy you a bit that you’ve saved screenies from your young char. I’m afraid I’ve missed that completely. :( Would really have been fun to see now.
I wish I could post screenshots! 3+ years of them were utterly destroyed when I had to reinstall a few months ago. :(
Awesome pics :) Grats on 100 posts!!!!
Oh and come on – they’re used to us sqweeing rendomly by now, right? ;)
Congratulations on the milestone :) looking forward to the next 100!
Grats on the ton!
Congrats and keep up the good work. I agree that blogging does help with investigating the game a bit more or looking at it in a different light. I also hope you get inspired to do a few more drawings while you’re at it!
Now get cracking on your 1,000th post.
Gz on the 100th post, keep up the good job :)
Gratz.
And thanks. :)
