I might as well start one of these threads.

Introduce yourself! Tell us the name(s) of your characters, maybe where you are from, what you like to do in WoW, etc.

Tetra, night elf druid
Skarrina, gnome mage, main spec fire, secondary spec frost
Tetra, dwarf paladin, main spec holy, secondary spec protection

Online I'm known as Skarrina. I'm the girlfriend of Minimeat. We live in the United States (Tennessee). I've been playing WoW for a little under a year now. I began on the old Pandora and I still mostly play on WowManiak. There, I have a frost/fire mage and a healadin/tankadin. These are the only two classes I feel I know how to play well so far (well, besides the protection paladin... everyone always wants me to heal and I rarely can practice tanking).

On the current Pandora, I am leveling a druid to play with Mini and you guys, because I can't decide if I want to mainly heal, tank, or dps and I don't have the time or will to level multiple characters again. I also chose druid because as much as I enjoy holy paladins, I feel borderline useless in heavy AoE damage raid situations where more than 2 or 3 people are taking damage. I also have an abandoned Horde shaman from when you guys moved to Alliance and I wasn't online. I didn't like the shaman that much anyway. No threat control, and coordinating totems is irritating.Deleted that druid a while back cuz I was frustrated with Mahoney and this server. But I'm back with new characters. Still dislike Mahoney. Also found out I dislike playing a druid healer.

I am a PvE'er through and through. Even though I am a pretty competitive person (I was a fencer in college, I love to watch boxing, and I like to play other competitive video games with friends I know in real life), I find online PvP demoralizing and completely lacking in respect for others, both teammates and opponents, nevermind that rpg PvP is frequently a contest of who-has-the-better-gear rather than skill. Don't expect me to do battlegrounds or arenas.

My favorite activity on WoW is the professions. I love crafting things for myself and for other people, and I usually do this free of charge, except I humbly ask for mats or money if certain materials are hard to come by and I'm running low. I've never done leatherworking before, so that is Tetra's profession. Later if I feel this isn't very useful I am considering switching to Enchanting and some type of gathering skill (skinning/mining/herbalism, maybe even tailoring to support the enchanting). Imma alchemist. My second favorite thing is finding something to collect (mounts, outfits, profession-related or feats of strength achievements.) My third favorite thing to do is raiding and instancing.

Speaking of raiding... I saw you guys have a guild rule that we must be able to raid 4 days a week. You can forget about that from me. I am a weekend warrior, and sometimes I don't get to play even then. I may get to play an hour or two during the night on a weekday but that's only if I'm lucky and classes/work/teaching is slow. Also, I am a slow leveler even when I put all my available free time towards it, and many times I would much rather play on my established characters on WowManiak than struggle here for the second time. Therefore, also don't expect me to be able to dungeon crawl with you guys any time soon. I'll probably ding 80 in several weeks.

Anyway I'm looking forward to hear about what you have to say about yourselves. I know very few of you, and much of what I know is what Mini tells me.
