Can I fall in love with World of Warcraft again?

This blog is a more of a diary to see whether or not that I can rekindle my love for World of Warcraft and recapture some of the awe and wonder of when I first played it.

To set the scene my experience with World of Warcraft has been as follows:

My first character (A Gnome Warlock) took me about 1.5 years to level up to maximum (with a gap of 6-8 months)...I started in The Burning Crusade just before Wrath came out and I loved the world...Wrath seemed to much slog at the beginning and I stopped half way through the first expansion level for 6-8 months.

I then became hooked/addicted on the WoW Economy and learning how to make money on AH and I was very successful at this but it dominated my life way to much to be healthy.

I love content so I set out to score my Loremaster Title before Cataclysm so that I coud honestly say I had seen the world.

I went back to my Gnome Warlock with the intention to join a guild and raid. I did my first and farewell raid downing Halfus Wyrmbreaker and failing for several hours on the Twin Dragons.

Then I quit World of Warcraft as it was just devouring me and I was being driven by making gold and endless daily reputation quests. So I tried to give away all my gold - got banned - got reinstated with all the gold I gave away. So just deleted all of the characters that I had.

I came back briefly and levelled a Prot Warrior and solo'd as many old raids and content as I could...and this was the most fun I have had for a while (well maybe not the Chess even in Kara) but rewarding and a great challenge.

But I needed a break again and have left it a while.

But like any good addiction you cant leave it alone, but this time I wanted to do something different to try and find the fun of soloing old instances, leisurely discovering areas again...and perhaps playing the game a fresh again.

So I decided to roll a Tauren Paladin as I have never really played on the Horde side before. Obligatory screenshot added. Also I wanted to do it without levelling guides (I have always used Dugi's in the past which were excellent).

So this is a tale of my journey to discover if the love is there or it turns to obsession again...and will I ever join a guild and embrace the Multiplayer part of the game!
