Lucky for me the group i found barely needed me, and put up with my newbishness through 3 dungeons (I was mispec'd so I was doing crap for damage. I've literally doubled my dps after a respec. kinda crazy how those litttle buffs stack up...) I think them thinking I was a girl played to my advantage that time. XD<br><br>hows this for perspective, We met each other roughly around the time wow launched, probably a little after actually.

Seriously if you just use the app you'll spend hours before anyone notices you. I think the calendar is the only thing blizzard did that people switched to vs the leading add ons at the time. I know I won't stop using omen and quest helper for there crappy imitations of those addons that blizzard made (though I'm still glad they made them just in case those addons go away XD)<br><br>At least we'll be able to take advantage of there built in voice chat so we will be like the first people ever to use it XD Yeah, well WoW was built 5 years ago, so I'm willing to cut them some slack, they do some pretty sick things given how old the game is.
