I want to wish the WoW Community Magazine a happy
first birthday! Funnily enough, this issue corresponds
roughly to my birth-day with the mag, as I started reading
it around its third installment. Having recently graduated
from college, I’m very grateful to the magazine for giving
me the opportunity to continue writing and practicing
this skill that I love so much. I’ve been playing World of
Warcraft since middle school, and it has consistently
been a place where I can be myself, where I can relax, a
world I’m familiar with and enjoy spending time with. The
opportunity to work with a group of other people who feel
the same way is rare, and I am thankful for every moment.
I’ve also enjoyed seeing the magazine grow and
change--over the course of the nine months it’s been
part of my life, I’ve learned a lot about how publications
like this operate, and how they themselves are almost
organisms, living and breathing and growing on their own.
I hope to contribute much more in the future, and I can’t
wait to see where the coming fall takes us as a staff!
If I listed all the various racial battle cries I’ve
learned over the past nine years, we’d never
leave, so I’ll end with a simple Lok’tar ogar!
