Gaming » World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft is my favourite and most played game, which I started playing in 2004, not long after the EU release. I started on the server Arathor, then transferred to Kul’Tiras (where I met my fiancé, Chris), then to Ghostlands before finally settling on Aerie Peak. I am a member of the guild Excited State, a fun social guild which raids twice a week.

I previously raided through all the content up to Legion. Raiding is when you play with a group of people, usually 10 or 25, and work as a team to kill harder bosses. So it is very much a social experience that works a lot like a team sport. Unfortunately, due to being diagnosed with ME, I had to retire from raiding in 2016 and now only raid casually through LFR to keep up with content.

My first character was a balance druid, and then my main became Kaelea, a discipline priest. I was proud to have been a discipline priest all the way through WoW, from the days of Classic to Cataclysm. However, when I stopped raiding, I had to let my beloved spec go, as it was too difficult for me to focus on. I swapped to shadow, and I use holy for healing in PvP.

I don’t really have a main character any more, although I favour my druid Aleassa more than my priest, as I find it easier to play. Over the last few expansions, the order in which I level characters has changed dramatically. I took a break from the game in 2021 and returned in 2026. I’m currently catching up with three expansions’ worth of content, but I’m in no rush and just enjoying playing the game at my own pace!

I post about World of Warcraft pretty often (here’s the tag!) as it’s my primary game, but here are a few posts I think you should check out!

• Transmog Tuesday – My weekly Transmog series featuring a new transmog set.
• A few of my favourite WoW Things – A week-long series of WoW topics I did, including my characters’ backstories.
• A Starter’s Guide to Pet Battles – A guide to pet battles for beginners.
• Useful World of Warcraft Addons – Some of the addons that I recommend.
• The Games That Define Us – I took part in a blog collaboration and wrote about how World of Warcraft defined my life, including how I met my fiancé! 
• The Characters That Define Us – Another blog collaboration where I  talked about how Jaina Proudmoore is the character that defines me.

I’ve already mentioned raiding as a previous past time in WoW, my main one now is collecting – achievements, pets, toys, mounts, transmog gear and heirloom items. Yep, I am an achievement junky. I actually did the original Lore Master achievement on two characters. I love the challenge of them, and the completionist in me has to have them done.

• Mounts – Warcraft Mounts Profile
• Wowhead – Wowhead Profile (Transmog outfits are located here)

I mainly play Alliance, which is why my Horde characters are woefully underplayed.
