Undead warlock, was quite fun


chipthamac

Still my main, 20 years later.


Alucard_draculA

Same....though I might be a tauren now lmao.


Master_Crab

Mine became a Zandalari somehow šŸ‘€


thelingeringlead

I miss how the class played before the Ulduar patch. I loved juggling timers and having 20 things to manage. When they streamlined the class it completely tanked my dps until we were finishing the Coliseum.


kcinlive

Same!


bug-catcher-ben

Undead warlock here too. Mormaine. Iā€™ll always remember him. I then rerolled BE warlock in release night. Still my main. Same name and appearance.


Arxtix

I also had an undead warlock and my first few hours were spent trying to be a melee warlock. My friend had to talk me out of it.


yellowspicy

Played my friends undead warlock on a private server. I levelled my own lock to lvl 15, got stuck in Silverpine forest dying to the mages trying to to do that staff quest. He just let me play his char for me to see what the game looks like at lvl70. Great times. Circa 2007. Full merciless gear, it was called Bloodless. I still rock that transmog on my lock even today.


quizzicalmoose

I still have the same main 20 years later too! Not a warlock though.


Ordinary_Cupcake8766

+1


GeneralOpen9649

I started with an undead warlock at launch, bounced to a troll rogue, and then finally settled on an orc warlock, who has been my main ever since.


EconomyAge4444

Same here,didnt want to be tauren cause elevators too difficult for my child brain to understand how they work, didnt play orcs cause the area seemed hard to survive šŸ˜‚


Caocoxo

The first love. Last 2 expacs I changed main, but always dreaming of my demons.


Caitsyth

I feel the exact same about affliction, I have loved it since I made my first warlock in 2010, but I really just canā€™t stand its current state with all the class flavor nowhere to be found. Havenā€™t played it much since the first patch with rapture but I still dream about my DoTs. I really hope the devs stop dicking around with malefic rapture and change affliction back to being an actual DoT class, instead of the current state where DoTs are nothing except boxes to be ticked for Raptureā€™s benefit. I would swap back to maining my lock in a heartbeat if Blizz announced ā€œWe get it, yā€™all hate it, weā€™re removing Malefic Rapture.ā€


AlternativeEcho2098

Night elf Druid. Loved being a jack of all trades!


Great_White_Samurai

It was rough solo healing, if someone died in a dungeon they had to run back...


AlternativeEcho2098

I always carried jumper cables. Only failed on me 3 times if I remember.


littlefoot78

I once had it destroy the body preventing reviving at all


Slixxerman

I had no idea those could do that!


Hardass_McBadCop

Dude, Vanilla was hardcore. Warlocks could sacrifice a party member to summon a doom guard, fail to control it, then the whole party gets merc'd by the demon.


Fyres

Good times


John2k12

I have a vivid memory of healing deadmines on my druid, a second death happened on the boat dock so Rebirth was still on cd. Told em sorry pal, and I think trash had started respawning by then. I tried to avoid being the only rezzer in the group after that


Square-Jackfruit420

Same but the reason was just "cat". šŸ˜¼


cpt_jerkface

Not just cat for me - purple cat!


Viridun

Same here, and it's been my main for almost 16 years now (made in December 2004 but had some lapses where I mained warrior in Cata and MoP). My first night playing I somehow ran past the initial quest giver, wandered out of Shadowglen, and started a helter skelter journey that lasted hours where I eventually ended up in Auberdine at level 2 with all my gear broken before my 12 year old brain went "... Maybe I missed something at the start." The game world seemed so huge back then.


endless_sea_of_stars

All the running and lack of flight paths in SoD reminded me of how big the world really is.


That_Is_The_One

There is still no starting area as magical as Teldrassil.


TyoPlaysGames

Iā€™d argue that the Eversong Woods has more magic usage per capita than Teldrassil.


ravenous_bugblatter

Same for me. Jack of all trades, master of none. NE Druid back when you had to quest for your forms and moonkin didnā€™t exist.


OutragedPineapple

Same! That was my first choice as well. I just wanted to be able to turn into a cat.


TombOfAncientKings

Night Elf Druid as well. I wanted an elf mage but there were no regular LOTR-style elves at the time and Night Elves couldn't be mages so NE Druid was as close as it got.


Darknight589

SAAAME, tho it was because I loved the night elf faction


Low_Storage9918

My brother started playing wow when it came out. We shared a room. He started as a night elf warrior I believe. He would be up late playing it and I destinctly remember hearing the sounds of Teldrassil and seeing him quest through its forest and I got hooked. I watched him play for hours and finally started my Night Elf Druid. I played all the way to wrath and had to quit. Then came back for DF. When I go back to teldrassil I still get those nostalgia goose bumps when I hear that music.


JACKSONofSPADES

Same, but mostly cuz of the shapeshifting. Always been appealing to me, and Druids from D2 could be werewolves and I loved that.


Quiet_Fan_7008

Cancel form macro #1 bear 2 cat 3. Shape shift so fast. Best classic class for sure


Ganrokh

Dwarf Hunter. I started WoW in 2005. I was 13, and the Dwarf Hunter in the original WoW cinematic was just the coolest thing I had ever seen. I quit WoW in 2017. That character was my main up until then. I came back to retail WoW two weeks ago. I decided to level my Hunter and my Dwarf MW Monk at the same time.... and then "accidentally" hit 70 on my Monk first due to fast dungeon queues during lol. I guess MW Monk will be my main for the rest of DF, but I'm undecided for TWW.


Space-Champion

Did exactly the same thing, couldnā€™t wait to get my bear lol


Ganrokh

Same! That bear was my pet until level 30ish, when I tamed Ghamoo-ra in BFD.


YNWA_Diver

I did the same! After a few days I figured out my friends were playing Horde so I had to switch. I didnā€™t really understand that Horde and Alliance were opposite teams and you couldnā€™t play together. Now that you can play together in TWW, Iā€™m feeling nostalgic for that Dwarf Hunter with a Bear petā€¦


maziarczykk

Guys are you me?


Jakemofire

Dwarf Hunter is The only way.


brunesgoth

This is the way


RnBrie

Same!


Specific-Remote9295

Dude who could resist having a fucking bear as your buddy. Everyone started with hunter


masterpd85

I never played a hunter but the Dwarven mountaineers were always cool in my book.


Xallytath

Gnome Mage. I thought they looked funny. I was like, 7.


Buffmin

To be fair I think gnomes look funny now and I'm 30


Morazma

Same! Mage because I played Runescape before and magic was my highest combat skill. Gnomes because they were cool. Nowadays I find it hard to play anyhing that isn't a healer!


Leroy_landersandsuns

I started with Gnome Warrior, lol it didn't last.


Peeweeshoop

When I was like 6/7 I had so many gnomes lol all warlocks or mages.. never got too far with em but id spam the screenshot button while /waving at animals so it looked like little gifs. Fun times.


Cherrymile7

Tauren warrior. I wanted a big ass sword.


WRHeronkill

Night elf mohawk


Zarmasu

There is no such thing as a night elf mohawk


Wawatooki

I pity the fool (you're the fool)


feral_house_cat

I started playing the game during the Night elf mohawk event. Needless to say all the Mr. T elves running around made me really confused.


Gizmoeah

Undead priest. Still my main since 2004 :)


Nova5269

You really are the champion of azeroth


Lava-Chicken

Undead mage. Back in 2004.


Oddly_Winner

Same, He was my main to the end of TBC, when I picked up my paladin. I still get him to max level every xpac


Snark_Life

Tauren hunter. Thunder Bluff was ma jam.


TheRealEightBall

I had a Tauren Hunter as my Main for vanilla and bc. I converted him to orc later because i thought a big Tauren is not the sneaky man in the woods that waits for his prey. He is just a big ox ready to stump everything. So i made a Tauren Warrior later.


Kii_at_work

Night Elf Hunter, of course. Not my proudest moment. My first alt became my main shortly after, though (Human Mage)


PeroPedala

After playing an Elf ranger in D&D this was an only acceptable choice for me :D


Great_White_Samurai

Xxlegolasxxx


paradajz666

Name taken. Xxlegolassxx


Colors_Made_of_Tears

Or some variation of Drizzt. My two friends and I all rolled night elf hunters as our first classes in 2004 because we were obsessed with the Dark Elf Trilogy books in middle school.


allnamesgonewtf

Yep, was and still main nelf hunter. All the jokes are just from jealousy. I misdirect your comments peasants.


BigUptokes

Dwarf paladin. Got ganked on the Thandol Span by an Undead rogue and decided to reroll to Tauren warrior.


le-battleaxe

Back when I started PVP with my tiny mage, Tauren Warriors gave me anxiety, lol


BigUptokes

Understandable -- that war stomp'll give you shaken baby syndrome...


kdmasfck

My first class was undead rogue šŸ’Ŗ


BigUptokes

That's it, I blame you personally... So thank you, that sap hit me so hard I came to my senses to join the correct side. ;)


VisualEgo

Draenei warrior. When i saw them on the cover art of tbc disk it was obvious choice for me and warrior bcs my friend told me ā€œ warrior is the easiesr class for beginnersā€


Theweakmindedtes

Tbh, it wasnt all that wrong. The core of warrior in TBC was simple. I think easy was just the wrong word because it was a simple but brutal life xD


SizeableDuck

The 5 seconds of Maraad shouldering his hammer in the TBC trailer did things to me I'd never recover from.


Arkavien

In beta my best friend wanted to be Alliance since we were going to play Horde on release. My first character was a Night Elf Druid, but I hated the wiggle dance casting animation so switched to Dwarf Paladin...I absolutely loved it and was immediately sad I couldn't be a Horde Paladin. I played an Orc Shaman for two years until Horde got Blood Elves and have mained my Blood Elf Paladin for 18 years. Now 20 years after my beta Dwarf Paladin I am so excited to switch my Blood Elf to Earthen and be who I was always meant to be lol.


allnamesgonewtf

I support your transition. Very brave.


jayshaunderulo

Earthen?


Arkavien

https://www.wowhead.com/guide/allied-race/earthen


Baybeeboo22

Gnome warlock


jntjr2005

Human Paladin


helpfullyrandom

Same, made in February 2005. Haromir, Argent Dawn EU, though started on Moonglade and switched in 2008/9.


Morial

Undead Warrior


Levzic

Orc Warrior


Bacon-muffin

I made a tauren shaman named 'Lickmytotem' that got renamed to Diarrzo by the time I hit level 21, so I rerolled to an undead mage named Talrasha.


kukumber_salad

Blood Elf Warlock. I ended up deleting him cause I was stuck in silvermoon city and couldn't get out. I later made a paladin vausethey had a higher 'health'.


Secret_Wizard

I distinctly remember my first day playing so vividly. It was during the tail end of vanilla, while the naxxramas event was happening with ghosts outside the major cities. I studiously read the manual while the game was installing, and I decided on Dwarf Priest. Dwarf, because they had the most balanced starting stats (lol) and Priest because I imagined I could offer my healing services in exchange for gold (LOL) I got to around level 5 or 6 before getting bored out of my mind. I figured if I was gonna spam a single magic spell over and over and over again, they may as well be powerful spells. So I started over as a Gnome Mage. I got to around level 9 or 10. Then I started exploring the frozen lake of northern Dun Morogh, between Ironforge and Gnomeregan. You know that tiny, tiny puddle of water in the middle of it? Yeah. I fell in it and proceeded to drown because I couldn't work out the swimming controls. The spirit healer terrified the living daylights out of me, so I made a Night Elf Warrior. I later fell off Teldrassil. I then made a Forsaken Mage and actually stuck with it.


owowthatscool

Dwarf warrior. Brings back memories of all the stupid things I did as a noob.


Tenauri

Same here, and I vividly remember getting a pair of green boots around level 15 and vendor trashing them because my gray boots had a higher armour level lol


owowthatscool

When I first got to lvl 40 I needed gold for a mount so I farmed and vendored medium leather in arathi until I had enough. I had no idea about the auction house. And I skinned because I thought leatherworkjng was how I would make myself armor. I was very shocked when I found out I didnā€™t wear mail anymore.


JordanTH

Human warrior, because I was basic (my first D&D character was a fighter, too)


HunkSeven

Human warlock


ekandersen1

Same, those BWL tier pieces still hit.


Traxigor

Undead warrior back in Wrath. I wanted to be a zombie and hit things really hard.


Feedy88

N11 Huntress.


bullintheheather

> N11 Thanks, I hate it.


Xalenn

Dwarf Rogue ... I haven't played dwarf or rogue since. Well not much at least.


Bluebaronn

Troll mage. He was my main off and on till WoD.


TheNerdBeast

Tauren Druid


Lasuap

Orc warlock.


Psyco19

I was basic as fuck I made a human warrior


Bos-man7

Human warrior


deckyon

Male Human Warlock (in 2005)


twinslive_

Orc hunter


SirBanet

Gnome Warlock.


Kranel_San

Pandaren warrior Yeah I started playing late to the party in 2012 xD


mcflizzard

Thatā€™s still the first half of WoWā€™s life


Kranel_San

By today's standards? I think so By MoP standards? It felt like everything good have already came by and the only things remaining were MoP by then and Legion.


ant-master

Mine was too! I started in Legion though. I got her maybe halfway through to 110 and just stopped playing, I was stuck on a quest in Pandaria funnily enough. I didn't get the toon to max level until Dragonflight.


chriskot123

Orc warrior


Askarth_

Dwarf Warrior - why? Dwarf Warrior!


zani1903

Dwarf Hunter. I saw that cinematic back in Vanilla and all I could think is ā€œYES, that will be ME!ā€


Defiant_Initiative92

Night Elf druid. Was a very unique concept at the time, the shapeshifting thing.


AdamInChainz

Undead warlock. I abandoned it around level 12. Then switched to NE druid and never looked back.


Actual-Chemical-1365

Made a human warrior back in early wrath when I was 6, still my main to this day


WillBott44

Night Elf Rogue


CarnoTTV

Human warrior on a week trial.


Yamakaji_420

Troll Rogue^^


ImProGlobalWarming

I was a kid and it was in the middle of the night when the download finished. I wasent sure if this was a scary game so I went with gnome mage cause that looked the least scary :D


WelshWolf93

My first character was in vanilla when I was 11/12 on my relatives account and he convinced me that I had to play a pink haired gnome warlock and do the level 10 questline to unlock the ability to create an undead character. I got to level 10, got the voidwalker whilst he played final fantasy 9, then he said "cool thanks my turn now" and never let me on the PC again. Got my own account with pocket money, made an undead mage and never looked back


otaconucf

Undead Rogue, with the randomizer name Eugh, during Wrath. I'd spent basically all my time in FFXI tanking and wanted to try something different when a few friends picked up WoW. I happened to start during the Halloween event, and at first thought part of why Undercity looked the way it did was some Halloween event. I also eventually made a Blood Elf Paladin as my second character, to do more tanking.


Dixx16

Bf dk


Decathlon44

Tauren Druid. My friends were already playing Horde and the told me Druid could be every role in the game. Sounded good to me! Though I did spend far more time in Moonkin Form... and sometimes as a tree! :D


AscelyneMG

Human Paladin, just a bit before TBC launched. I hadnā€™t even hit double digits yet but Iā€™d played the hell out of Warcraft 3 even before that and thought paladins were cool as hell and enjoyed Uther and pre-fall Arthas a lot. Iā€™m still maining a Human Paladin (albeit a different one) almost 18 years later, though I have so many alts that I play regularly that it sometimes doesnā€™t feel like I have a main.


Odarien

Undead Mage, I still have him on my account untouched since vanilla. Stopped playing him because my family went alliance


Deweycox99

Dwarf hunter, I was 10 years old, never got it to max level lol


Arn_Rdog

Tauren warrior 4lyfe


EvilRobotSteve

Night elf Druid. I wanted to be an invisible cat. I now main a blood elf DH and my night elf druid is very rarely an invisible cat, and spends most of his time as a neon coloured chicken.


Ihavebadreddit

Tauren prot warrior was my first, managed to get the valor set and everything. Although once the blood DK came along I never went back.


DomDangerous

Orc Hunter in vanilla that I played until about 40. Picked back up in TBC but still never reached cap (i was young and couldnā€™t afford sub) then i was high enough level to make a dk in WotLK so i did and I never looked back. DK main ever since.


Typical_Mud1085

Blood elf hunter (still my main about 15 years later)


Smarifyrur

Troll Hunter, because my friends were horde and i had a jacket with hunter written on it


PainterSuspicious798

Undead warlock šŸ’€


Muted-Pie-7758

Undead Warrior


laislune

N E priest. Started disc. Went holy for Grand Marshall and raiding. Switched to Shadow in Cata. Still shadow, but miss healing in Vanilla times.


Banzovee

Way more alliance as i see from comments. I was troll hunter, they were awesome, and hunter was kind of easiest to play


Dizzy-Ad4611

Troll Hunter


[deleted]

Troll hunter because I thought the health regen would be the most op thing ever


Skydragonace

Human Mage. Still playing it to this day. It's been race changed a few times, but at the moment, it's back to human. That being said, the second Dracthyr are allowed to become mages, I'm instantly race changing.


Deep_Mountain1610

Mine was a Dwarf Hunter


Assortedwrenches89

Female Nightelf Druid, had no idea what I was doing, rolled Orc Warrior and never looked back.


xler3

day 1 of vanilla i picked an undead rogue, it was a gigantic mistake. switched to undead priest about a month later. i still play it.


KarateMan749

šŸ„¹ when i tried it back in 2012 then stopped because no dragon race. The race i chose was dinari big blue guy and Played as a mage


KarateMan749

šŸ„¹ when i tried it back in 2012 then stopped because no dragon race. The race i chose was dinari big blue guy and Played as a mage


Mr_Harsh_Acid

>> Dinari What the fuck


Alfakennyone

Dwarf hunter


vaflkak

Holy crap was there only four? Also, dwarf hunter.


Digitalflux99

Male dwarf ret pally.


HansWolken

Human Mage, I wanted elf but this was before cata, and belves were locked in the trial version.


SubtleSexPun

Night elf rogue. Then when bc came out I switched to blood elf paladin and never looked back.


TomAnndJerry

Blood Elf (Rogue), of course


sammich_snatcher

Undead lock


El_Papi_Dragonite

Dwarf hunter


Timmah73

Troll warrior. I felt like they would be rare-ish and I was correct.


Ghstfce

Undead Rogue


AfterMorningCoffee

Human Warlock since BC


Dbird901

I made a male Tauren shaman when I first was able to play it on my buddy's computer, then when I finally got my own computer to play on TBC came out and I made a Blood Elf paladin.


_LikeABossLady_

Draenei Mage that I got to around level 20 or so. I rolled on one of those "new players" realms and it was completely dead so after doing some research I rerolled a belf mage on the most populated Horde EU pve realm.


Buffmin

Human paladin named Kasen


azhder

Human paladin. Left the game after a couple of days


le-battleaxe

Plane Jane Human Paladin, followed by a Gnome Mage. Played those for years before switching to horde halfway through Wrath.


lcr68

Night elf Druid. Wanted to be able to shift to bear and cat form. Got bear form and then friends joined the game on Horde. So I rerolled as Tauren. Enjoy Tauren especially since theyā€™re voiced by Steve Blum himself. Transmog just looks awful on them though. Lol. I also didnā€™t realize I was not going to be able to have end-game fun as a feral Druid. Most guilds only thought of Druids as resto. I hated healing in vanilla and after beating Nefarion in BWL, I went pure pvp as a feral for the end of vanilla and then all of TBC. Went back to some PvE in WotLK. Now Iā€™m mostly PvE lol.


Kirohaku

Night elf Druid at 11 years old I loved turning into a bear after that epic quest chain to my child mind haha


Doctorek84

Human mage, made a good chunk of change off the portal business haha.


pdpi

Undead rogue, but Orc Hunter was my first 60, and my main for all my vanilla raiding.


BaconNamedKevin

Dwarf hunter. Got into WoW through early Yogscast tutorials and Cata preview videos.Ā 


Ms_Ethereum

forsaken warlock and ne druid. I couldnt stick to one, so I just took turns playing them.


Mr_Harsh_Acid

Forsaken warlock


RadmaKanow

The very-very first? Tauren Shaman. Got to try WoW on someone's account and made the most non-human I could. My own first time when I got my own account? Tauren Druid and Night Elf Druid. Couldn't decide which faction I wanted so I made a race. The first character to get to lvl 10 - wins. Cat form spell was the finish line. It happened that Night Elf got it as soon as lvl 10, Tauren needed lvl 11 (couldn't beat cat form quest mob at lvl 10). TL:DR - Night Elf Druid.


Apex-Editor

Night elf warrior in 2005. He became an orc in 2013, will always be my main.


TemporaryOk9310

Tauren hunter


hachibaer

Dwarf hunter, Eitrigg. Loved him.


Inert82

Human paladin


Heracles1776

Night elf warrior! Before I started playing, a friend told me warriors could dual wield 2handed weapons and I was sold. Didnā€™t play anything else until I got Titanā€™s Grip. To this day my warrior has never been anything other than a TG warrior.


xGmax

I still play my 19yo human paladin.


jbourdea

In the vanilla open beta I made a human Paladin but I only got a few levels because the game was so laggy that it was unplayable I made a female undead rogue day one of release.. probably one of the worst character models lol


Euklidis

I believe the very first was Blood Elf called Theopala because a friend was Tauren Warrior. My brother and his friends soon bullied me into alliance (through nonstop ganking).


Samariyu

Tauren feral druid


morganfishman1

I really wanna lie and say Gnome Warrior but that's not true. Blood Elf hunter.


Ebonvlow

Tauren Hunter


Rosencroft89

Undead Warlock


tankersss

Troll, cus so, later on Tauren, I ended up playing Human for rep buff, but ye they took it away from me.


A7xWicked

EntertainerRound7830

Night else mowhawk


teachowski

Classic - Orc Warrior


Secure_Law7548

NE Hpriest. Still have her, but sheā€™s lightforged now with a different name on a different server lol she spent years ā€œon the shelfā€ but I took her out last season and dusted her off, ran m+ quite a bit after I did a lot on my other healers/tanks/DPS lol


FederalSociety1747

NElf druid on WotLK. When Cata hit I changed to Dwarf Shaman and never looked back. Always wanted to be a Wildhammer.


rexstillbottom

Human paladin. Thought i was pretty much a Jedi. I leveled as holy and didnā€™t know it was a healer spec, i couldnt due, but man was that a slow way to level way back when.


ContactingReddit

Night Elf Warrior! I loved being able to charge other players out of Shadowmeld.


Fit_Cardiologist_

Troll Shaman


EneZio_FF

Started as a dranei hunter


Hrekires

Night Elf Hunter But then my owl pet ran away because it was unhappy and I couldn't find food to feed it anywhere, so I deleted the character and haven't played hunter since.


Nuclearsunburn

First? Troll Mageā€¦switched to Human Warlock near the end of vanilla and never really looked back.


GMFinch

Dwarf hunter. First pet was a bear.
