I've kept up with this newsgroup even if I wasn't playing, kinda.  The
conversations started going over my head though, so a number of
threads just got marked read and not actually read. ; )

I'm enjoying the combat on the rogue at the moment.  The inscription
thingy that lets me teleport behind the mob when using Cheap Shot has
a lot to do with that I think.  And there's a talent that gives full
combo points, with a cooldown of one minute/or the target dies that
helps to keep things interesting. :)

One of everything. : )

I think it was mainly the rogue and warlock that I never tended to get
to max level before MoP.

I'm not really opposed to actually paying for the subscription if I'm
actually playing.  It was mainly keeping up a subscription when I was
only playing maybe 2 times a week that didn't seem worth it.

I do have quite a pile of old stuff still laying around, though I'm
not sure I had all that many/any shirts.  Not sure any of it looks all
that good though.  I do have the tier 0.5 (I think that's what it was,
or was it 1.5 for the upgraded classic dungeon set?) set for my pally,
and the first dungeon set from TBC for my priest.
