My main is a lvl30 Hunter NE

Those in the know will have recognised the World of Warcraft leetspeak.
I've started playing less than 2 months ago, I'm hooked.

In a nutshell, WoW is an computer game that one plays on the internet. A massive virtual world has been invented and is hosted on an equally massive server, where every player has a character.
Of a given race (human, dwarf, gnome, night elf, Draenei, orc, troll, undead, tauren or blood elf)
Of a given class (warrior, mage, priest, warlock, hunter, paladin, shaman, druid, rogue)
And then on with a list of attributes that make it unique (or so they say).

Everyone character lives in the same world, so I can play with other characters to fulfill quests I've received in the game and that are too hard to complete by myself. When I meet a character from the Horde (bad guys, me Alliance good guy), battle ensues and I usually lose.
The items (like pieces of armor, weapons, potions, food...) I win from killing monsters (that aren't players from the Horde) I can use for myself, or sell to other players. Which means, if I need a new piece of armor, I'm going to buy it from another player too.

There are many things going for this game/type of game. It's become fairly popular, so the player population isn't only teenage male nerds with no social life. The fact that you can play many kinds of characters (fighters/healers, tall/small, cute/ugly, male/female, loyal/vicious...) gives the opportunity to be someone else "in there". The world is big and varied, the quests are challenging, the interactivity is pretty good. I like it.

So, what does it say about me?
I'm a night elf, the tallest and supposedly most beautiful race. I'm a male, that says what that says. I'm a hunter, I kill from afar and let a domesticated pet (a boar at the moment) get beaten for me. But I'm not killing from behind like a rogue. And I can play solo a lot.
My first profession is miner, because everyone wants metal and I can sell it at insane prices and be rich fast.
My second profession is enchanter, but I don't like it much.
I can cook, fish and make bandages (cuz everyone can and I need to feed my pet).
I'm level 30 in less than 2 months. I'm playing way to much.
Oh and I talked at the first person, which means that I'm a good audience, and that maybe I put too much of myself in there.

If anyone plays WoW on the european servers (in french or english), let me know. I'd very much like to try a horde chara, a warlock, and Engineering professions. And it may just be fun to meet halfway between the immaterial world of the blog and the very material world of RL.
