Just had my first wow classic experience (and indeed first wow experience)!
Found signing up for the subscription and installation process rather clunky, but thought it was cool to be able to load the game from a partial download.
Was unable to create a gnome warrior called Jimjam, so settled for a Barbarian Shaman (okay, human paladin) called Gincide, my original EQ character.
Did a few quests, but honestly there was a lot of running around and the rewards were pretty poor; I'd get better xp and loot from doing a couple of extra kills instead of running around.
Met up with some old EQ friends, they showed me the way to a large city. Checked out the auction house, but apparently was unable to bid as I had a 'starter edition' account, even though I had just paid a subscription fee. Took the train to dwarf lands and fought some Wendigo (yheti beastmen) in their ice tunnels.
Was fairly entertaining, kind of wish I had streamed or screen capped my initial experiences, it felt a lot like being an EQ newb again; not really knowing what to do and just running around exploring in a sand boxy way.
Cancelled the subscription after logging off, but I may give it a couple more tries before the end of the month is over.
