I started playing World of Warcraft almost exactly one year ago, and on or about that anniversary - it's tough to remember the exact date - I hit 70 with my Dwarf Hunter (link to view Bozanimal). The achievement is bittersweet, however, given the recent release of Wrath of the Lich King and the increase of the level cap to 80.

In those days my beard still had its color, I had not met Iorek, my lifelong companion, and had naught but the clothes on my back

In a year I have seen things that would turn your hair white

Next step: actually purchasing Wrath of the Lich King.
