Or the source of the desire to come back wouldn&#8217;t come from a place I wouldn&#8217;t think would help me.<br \/>\nBut&#8230; I&#8217;m BACK! \ud83d\ude00 Does that mean I&#8217;m done with Wurm? Hell no. I will still play Wurm.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, like I&#8217;ve been saying for the past few weeks, I thought about going to WoW, but was unsure about it. So, I finally had the balls to ask a forum I thought would laugh at me&#8230; Facepunch. But instead, they helped me. Not as much as I wanted, but it was enough to reconsider going back. They showed me pictures on how awesome the new EP was&#8230;and wow where they nice.<br \/>\nThe real thought is &#8220;Just give it a try. Maybe you&#8217;ll luck out and find all of your old addons that will work again.&#8221;, and so I found my WoW CD&#8217;s and installed them. When it was time to set up a new account, thinking my old account surely has been wiped for not playing for nearly 2 years, I found out my CD key was already used&#8230;<br \/>\n&#8220;Does this mean my old account is still active?&#8221; I thought.<br \/>\nSo I called Blizzard&#8217;s account support and explained the situation. They told me that they do NOT delete accounts. Only the credit card info&#8230;meaning my Level 70 Dwarf Hunter is STILL ALIVE!!!<br \/>\nThe person retrieved my old account info, telling me my long forgotten account name, and resetted my password.<\/p>\n<p>After getting off the phone, I tried to connect. After several unsuccessful attempts, I finally got in(due to when I copy\/pasted the new password, I accidentally had a space in it and it treated it like an additional character. And that&#8217;s when I saw him&#8230; Benie, Level 70 Dwarf Hunter. I wanted to scream with joy. I thought I would never see him again after all of these years.<br \/>\nI also saw my Tauren Shaman. Benthetauren. Still Level 31.<\/p>\n<p>I have already ordered WoTLK(Wrath of The Lich King; the 2nd EP), and the official strategy guide. They should be here sometime in early March.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll take this time to get on Benie, see if my fake Guild is still there(surely it is), and start learning how to play after all of these years.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll use the time it will take to get the new EP to start leveling my Tauren Shaman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought this day would never come.
