welcome shawn.
I was in wow in also during those years. Our 25m was top 100 , i ran a pally and then a dk, both as DPS and tanks, was one of the first on our server to have shadowmourne back when it was cool lol. I left wow after pandas.
You will enjoy it here , semi hardcore but not. We have a core group that doesnt mind pressing new stuff but yet helping others out. Most of us love to raid and do so on all of our guys. Glad to have you and your brother on board. Look forward to seeing you in game.
