Hello All! - General Hunter Discussion - Hunter Forums

I just placed "world of warcraft hunter" into the Almightly Googles and I have to say I am very excited to have found this site and forum for Hunters! 

I just started playing for the first time ever, mainly due to my boyfriend starting to play again. I think he hadn't played since 2008 so when he started again his character (an Undead Mage) was at  level 70 and he had it to 85 in a little over a week, so I was witness to a lot of playing. LOL I was wondering how it could be so consuming and I heard news of it being free until level 20 so I took the plunge, downloaded and started to play. I was a bit dubious at first as my gaming skills peaked at the age of 12 or so with defeating Bowser in Super Mario World. I have been out of my element in all 3D games…I am pretty pro at Netflix on Xbox, but that's about it.

About a week ago I started out with a Blood Elf Hunter (this was before I had done any research at all). After about 30 minutes I thought I wasn't going to get the hang of it enough to really enjoy it, but I tried it the next day when I had a few hours and I got hooked.."oh, just one more quest…oh, well, just THIS one more quest…" I am by no means pro at efficiently moving around, but I find it loads easier than any gaming console games I have attempted. My bf filled me in on using talent points, picking professions, etc. It didn't take too long and I had already reached many of the trial caps. I was too much of a wuss to accept anyone's duels though, as I had no idea what to expect. I just stuck with doing my quests, I reached level 20 on the elf. Oh, yeah, got my sweet slow-as-molasses-on-a-cold-day mount! (the bf said, I don't want to hear it, you used to have to wait until 40 to get a mount) I decided to try playing as something else before I bought the game.

I did a little research and started with a Troll Hunter, right off of the bat I liked it a lot better than being a Night Elf Hunter. I have been playing a few days on the new character and decided to get a bit more serious and do a lot more online research. I have found a wealth of info on this site! I wish I would have found it sooner, the forum members all seem pretty awesome as well. Anyway, I hope to upgrade my account tonight or tomorrow and keep on learning. If there is a board on the forum for people that are new to playing that I missed, please let me know.

Thanks!
