Having left the game for 3 years my gaming picked up again when i started lanning in rl with friends playing games like counter strike and such. I thought id pickup on my account again and see how well I went. What can i say I felt good to get out of the fps and strategy gaming and back into mmoprgs. Noting that the first thing i noticed was that i was unguilded which again people could probably tell me now it was bound to happen. Being inquisitive i asked an officer of the guild i had been removed from and was told promptly they were an end game guild now and had no space for low levels. Seeing as I didn't know what an end game guild was yet i decided to let it go and continue leveling on my own still at the same slow pace and requesting pugs here and there.

This also brought about my first repsec, I had lost the ideals of how to play a marksman hunter. I didn't want to pick a beast master at the time since they didn't seem to pick up a good reputation amongst other players so i went survival. This was pre-BC survival however and although no one really liked it back then i found it rather nice instead of running around trying not to get hit i had skills that allowed me to continue fighting in close combat. Many people thought me odd playing a hunter and running into close combat, many saying I should give up on my hunter and go into playing a warrior or a rogue. But as some might have guessed I didn't.

Around level 44 I managed to make my way into another guild. This guild was called "Blade" and had a GM called Xavierbane (aka Montog if anyone was interested). I managed to level to 60 in this guild after 4 long years. As luck would have it i was a useful class but little did i realize what challenges i could face during this time. UBRS was the instance i ran and hated the most for the way a hunter was used. Oddly my first ever attempt at UBRS led me to a successful kiting keep the boss occupied for a long period of time without managing to get killed or even damaged. Every other attempt afterwards failed or got me booted as I attempted my difficult job for the instance. In the end i gave up on instances i didn't want anything to do with them, people hated a hunter that couldn't kite treating them like dirt if they failed.
