  • Started Playing: At WoW's release in 2004
  • You can most likely find me: On my Druid, Hellgraizer, on Blackwing Lair.
  • Favorite Characters: I have healing experience on a level 80 Priest Ihasheals, a level 80 Druid Hellgraizer, and a level 80 Shaman.  I have been healing more recently in the latest content (Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader 10 and 25 man). I don't currently have a favorite class, but I like to play the Warrior, Priest, and Shaman. I mostly prefer healing.
  • Playing Summary: In classic WoW, my original character was a Warrior, but I have expirience playing just about every class.  I had two 60 Warriors, one 60 Priest, and one 60 Mage.  I played a level 70 Shaman on Spinebreaker named Stormstrikr in BC and than leveled him to 80 in WotLK.  I was in the guild Damage Inc. where I healed 10 and 25 man instances (Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity).  I was also regularly leading those raids for a time.
  • When I'm not Playing World of Warcraft;   I'm going to Maui Community College, hanging out with RL friends, hiking, or at the beach.

  • Started Playing: At WoW's release in 2004
  • You can most likely find me: On my Priest, Ihasheals, on Blackwing Lair.  I'm also currently working on a Warrior using my usual name, Holdless.
  • Favorite Characters: My favorite class is the Warrior, I've been playing him since classic WoW and have Tanked 98% of the available content.
  • Playing Summary: In classic, my first character was a Hunter. I also had a Priest, two Rogues and two Warriors at 60.  When BC came out I expanded even more with a Mage, Warlock, Druid, and Paladin. But I was always faithful to the Warrior. I spent the first part of WotLK tanking, but have now switched to healing in the hopes that (by my good example) healers will improve their game and I can go back to tanking.  I've played tank, healer, and DPS through most of the endgame content of classic and both expansions.
  • When I'm not Playing World of Warcraft;  I'm writing, meditating, on a walk-about, on an airplane, eating, sleeping, or at High Valley Ranch.

 

Our Company

Since our passion encompasses helping our fellow gamers out, we needed help to transform our vision into a reality.

“I’ve always known addons were useful, but every time I tried a large addon like X-Perl I didn’t want to take the time to configure it in their huge and complex menu. It seems like the best addons are always the most complicated. Plus if I did take the time to configure it the way I wanted it, after the next WoW patch I found the addon not working as before or totally un-configured. That is how my friend Jamie and I started thinking about the idea to take the time to configure the best addons to help other frustrated addon fans get their UIs the way they wanted them.”
