Two months.

That's how long I spent "playing" WoW. I familiarized myself with vanilla, skimmed through the main TBC "plot," and killed the Lich King. All I needed was lore and story. WHY DID I WASTE THIS TIME? All I really learned was: Muradin is alive, the Alliance's main base is Stormwind, Dalaran still exists, the Sunwell has been restored, Akama is good and has reclaimed his home, Arthas is dead, Kael'thas is dead, Sylvanas and Jaina are now rulers, Tyrande... well, she's there.
