Get to know people in the level 20 community

Tittle is a little unclear - do you mean vet community , F2P community or 29 community or do you mean everyone that's part of the level 20-29 bracket. 19 bracket has 1 community 20-29 has 3.

You do realize you are quite a bit OFF-TOPIC. The thread's purpose is not for us to crap talk about the tittle of the thread, read the thread and try to find the core message. This isn't even a criticism, this is posted in the Level Twenty Section.
 
To the OP...
You may have made one of the better decisions in your life you will probably ever make, if you were a slacker in school.
You will always be a Veteran for the rest of your life. A comradery only a few in the world share. However, you cannot forget your education.
A shame you did not pick the Marines.
 
I'm a 21 year old no life that spends way to much time on this game. I just got into the insulating trade but I am laid off more then I am working, so I can say "hey I have a good job" but still play WoW more then anything. I live in Western Kentucky. I love sports, use to play all I could, but now I'm just stuck watching them and stuck in my glory days of all my losing seasons.

This is a fun thread, but makes me realize how much my life sucks :/

Jkjk :D
 
I'm 22, enlisted in the AF and currently in Germany. My last base had a much more dramatic time zone difference, which was what led me to this bracket in the first place(existent, if not optimal, q's even during non peak hours)

I was also stationed near vegas, about twenty minutes from the strip, a few years back. Base sucked but it was a great place to live. Spent a lot of time camping out at lake meade or up on mt charleston

Props for choosing the NON quality of life branch ;)

I try to go to Vegas every chance I get. My favorite place to vacation. Did you spend a lot of time on the strip or were you not allowed? I know vacationing is way different then the reason you were there for! :p

Well, I don't know if anyone's even gonna read this but what the hell, I'm bored. Played WoW since TBC, started off with 29 twinks and moved on to 39 later on, and been playing on and off ever since. First time I really got into the 19s bracket was in cata, and I started playing 20-24 in MoP. I've played pretty much every class at 19/20/29, and I always try to gear and play every spec on every toon. I used to be really into perfecting twinks, but with the amount of really hard-to-get BoEs added into the game lately, and the fact that no matter how well you gear your f2p you're still going to be at a disadvantage, I tend to half-ass my twinks nowadays. I've also made some 19 twink FCing vids in cataclysm, I'll link them later on in case someone's interested.

My main class was long a druid (feral in tbc/wotlk as 29/39, and resto FC in cata/mop/wod), but since wod really fucked up the class IMO (every spec feels like DPS spec now) and FCing as a f2p is becoming nearly impossible with 29s literally globaling half of your HP bar without crits, I'm not that much into druid anymore. I still play my druid(s), but to a much lesser degree than in the previous expansions.

IRL I'm a 22 year old male from Finland, 178cm tall and weighing about 70kg. I'm not employed or in education at the moment, due to being a completely spineless fucking cunt and other reasons. My hobbies are internet, PC gaming, footbag/hackysack, football, Ice-hockey, smoking weed (and some scientific experiments on other substances), trekking, bicycling (somewhere around 15-30km every other day this summer), working out, and I've also been in boyscouts for like 7 years or so earlier (except we had gurls there too, heh) and planning to pick scouting back up again in the future, when I'm at a better position in life. I really like sports IRL, give me a call at pretty much any time of the day to get outside and get some sweat runnin', I'm usually up for it :) I also play RuneScape, have been playing for over 10 years now on and off. PM me if you want me to add you or something.

edit: Oh and forgot to add I've also done my half a year of service in the finnish defence forces because it's mandatory here, not that it's something great or something that was really my kind of thing, but thought I'd just add it here since it might interest somebody.

Here's the FC videos from cataclysm I mentioned earlier in the post. It might not be very interesting for too many people considering how old the content and how poor the quality is, but whatever.

Lastly, as if I didn't give out enough info to total strangers on the internet already, here's my fugly face.

I don't enjoy Vegas so much, probably because I've lived here my whole life. (Well I live in Henderson, which is a suburb literally 15 minutes away, but I've lived in Vegas for a few years too) I wouldn't have wanted to grow up anywhere different though, but it's definitely more of a place to visit, that's forsure.

And Mt. Charleston is nice, I just wish I had more opportunities to go up there lol

Sorry for the double post.

I have a pretty big military history in my family, and all of them went Army. Granted, I considered Air Force at first, but they didn't have the job I wanted, which is the job I got when I enlisted for the Army, so I went with that.

And also, my dad is on the fence about my decision of joining the military to begin with, but he specifically said hell no to the Marines lol.
 
i've played wow since vanilla (got my first game card as a gift off my cousin when i turned 12/13 or so). what got me into twinking was when i, as it turns out, leveled my then-to-be 29 twink (Smygarjäveln @ Khadgar - Community - World of Warcraft) and i got farmed by an orc rogue like crazy + i remember this int-stacked arcane mage that literally just ran around spamming arcane explosions and had 40-0 kill ratio. i liked the concept of not having to re-gear every single patch and being able to somewhat have a life outside of wow.

in lich king literally my whole class (and most guys in my school) were playing wow - on the same server even. this made me leave twinking for a bit and do some end game raiding, which proved to be fun etc. in cata i got back to 19s and had a pure blast playing and getting to know lots of people i still keep in touch with daily. to be honest I DONT KNOW what i did in mop; i played some 19s games but basically not doing much on wow at all. now in wod i've spent much time on my 29 which have been enjoyable rather because of nostalgia than the quality of the games. 19s have basically been dead for a long time with short-lasted revivals every now and then which really saddens me. and lastly i've decided to take (at least) one year-break from wow but not from twinkinfo i think

irl: hello i am 20 years old living in sweden. since a year back i am studying law which i really fucking enjoy doing and i've met many new friends etc etc. earlier in my life i've had sport-autism (football and floorball mainly) but due to an injury i can't really play anymore which kinda sucks so i essentially only play golf, and ski/snowboard in the winter as of now. my hobbies can be summarized being politics and music (indie) i think

Cool thread! I love it :)

I am 19 year old from Poland, I was extremely interested in cars until around 2nd grade of primary school when a friend showed me Diablo 2 and I dropped every single thing except RPG games. When I turned 13 my parents finally got us an internet connection and so started my gaming career. I played different games with different success, started with Diablo 2 on the web (got level 97 bow amazon) then turned to CABAL, which took my interest for a long, long time (level 107 blader) until my friends hacked me for items in that game. I dropped CABAL and started playing Tibia but I kept dying because of other high level players attacking me - and when you died you lost a significant experience amount, so I kinda felt like I was always in the same place even tho I played a lot. Then I heard about Rookstayers, who choose to start on the tutorial island Rookgaard in Tibia and decided to start one for myself because PvP was turned off there. I got extremely hooked and joined my first forum which was a Rookstayer forum. That began my 'hipster gaming' career.

When I started playing WoW I seeked odd gaming styles to fulfill my need of playing differently and I soon rolled a level 1 twink. My friend had a level 1 twink with me and while we were searching wowhead for some level 1 gear we found some guide related to F2P. He made a joke that "well play trial wow if you want to play differently, this will give you the odd atmosphere!"

And I took it like a challenge. Now I am high in achievement rankings and I have played F2P WoW for the longest time in all the games I played. Met a lot of cool people, here on TI and on my realm, EU Magtheridon - shout out to everyone!

I also play Runescape (F2P pure of course), Hearthstone, Guild Wars (Pre Searing), Neutral Pandaren in WoW and I still continue my Rooking career in Tibia. 31.10.2014, which was Halloween last year I and my girlfriend started being together, and she is my whole life since. The slow end to my gaming career, but you know, I really like it. This is the best that could happen to me.

I enjoy house, electro and chillstep music, but I like at least one or two bands from each genre except jazz and disco-polo (sorry jazz fans :( I just can't stand it)

This thread is really cool :D keep it up with more stories!
 
Im 22

I used to CoD and Halo collecting nerd points before it was OG, had a 360 as soon as it got released. then I moved on to real guns so I kinda quit shooter games. Before I got a 360 i used to go to this guy that lived down the road and play Halo 2 on his Xbox

I used to play 2007 runescape and had full rune G (which i got by exploiting anti dragon shields guy and getting infintie DS shields) and 43 prayer as lvl 37 cuz i ''exploited'' a bone spawn

I use to play alot of Diablo II and had 4 separate accounts there(its a long story why) and brought all 4 into pvp thats what got me to multibox

I started WoW in Dec 2011 but didnt pvp until like March now I dont really play much tho just mess around in vanilla every now and then

I'm 21 years old and from Germany, currently studying psychology in Switzerland.
The way I got to play WoW always seemed rather odd to me comparing it to the story of others. The first time I played WoW was on a friend's sister's account. She was the only one I knew who played it and she was playing it because her boyfriend played it. By then I only had heard about WoW from the TV commercials where they had "famous" people come in and tell what class they were supposedly playing (or paid to pretend to play). Yet, the commercials had worked on me and I wanted to check the game out. This was around WotLK release, so I was about 13/14.

I liked the game and got to play once in a while which was enough for me. I remember noobing around on my human mage that I only got to level 27. The friend's sister broke up with her boyfriend and had her account deleted a few months after I started to play. I asked my parents if I could have my own subscription even offering to pay myself, but they said no. Even though I wasnt allowed to play, I still spent a lot of time on the wow forums and other sites like wowhead, reading stuff about the game without knowing what most of it meant. During that time I discovered the free 10 day trials. I decided to download it even though I wasnt allowed, which felt excitingly rebellious to me at that time - and it was free so what the hell.

During 2009-10 I created about 3 or 4 10 day trial accounts whenever I wanted to play again. My oldest character that still exists is this.
I never paid much attention to what was going on in and around the game. The thing that took me completely by surprise was, that I was able to login on the 11th day of my latest 10 day trial. It overlapped with the day 10 day trials became permanent because of the cata release. Once I figured out what was going on, my f2p twinking started. After failing on my poorly geared priest I decided to twink seriously (even though I didnt know what "twinking" meant at that time). I used the knowledge I gathered from wowhead and the forums to find the gear I considered best and settled with this rogue on a german realm. In february 2011 I switched to my horde paladin which became my main until the release of wod when the german bracket took a sudden hiatus.

In the summer of 2013 when I wanted a break from f2p I bought the game and started to play endgame content - to this day very casually and only during the summer and the winter breaks. My p2p account still mostly fulfills the purpose of supporting my f2p account in terms of achievements, gear farming etc.

Other than wow I am not a big gamer tbh. Some of my favorite musicians are Björk, Portishead, Placebo, Susanne Sundfør... rather electronic and hard to dance to (which is a good thing :D)

Great thread keep it going!
