Nudged back into the game

I wanted to play WoW again. I bought my two-month time card, and logged into my account, looked at all my characters, and logged out again.

A couple days later, I logged on to my 85 mage, ran around doing some archeology, and logged out again.

It was about two weeks before I found a real reason to log in. Someone had advertised a reroll guild, a casual bring-your-own-fun guild of people leveling for the fresh atmosphere of it. I decided that I'd never finished my tauren shadow priest, and started rolling with them. I picked up a good name (Lighthorn) and trotted out to pasture in Mulgore on the Frostwolf server, a horde-heavy PvP realm.

So far so good: I've been ganked twice, the people are nice, the economy is healthy, and leveling the priest is nowhere near as painful as it was back in vanilla. I might actually make it to 85. We'll see.
