Ouch.  Thanks and you too. :)

Btw.  My last serious AFK from the game was the whole cata exp.  It was 
a wonderful real-life time.  But I returned 1 week before Panda and I 
wasnt even aware of the Panda expansion at all!  I just wanted to say hi 
to the guildies I left 2 years before when patch 4 was released.
Anyway!  I still remember the night around midnight I was online when 
Panda World went live.  Everybody on /trade were talking about something 
new and I had to ask a guildie.  "Errhh...  What is happening?  Wut da 
fuk are ppl babbling about? ^^".  they ignored me.  Asked a few more 
times and finally got an answer; "New expansion".  "What expansion?" I 
asked.
10 mins later I was downloading my digital copy.  My WoW-life got new 
life. :)

and dont forgot to log around november next year.  I bet Blizzard has a 
neat surprise at their 10 years anniversary. ;)
