How to start, ha yes: You, gals and guys are CRAAZYYY!!
It is important you know that, because I think being cupped up together for too long, you do not realize just how crazy you all are!
Mind you, it makes sense in a weird way… bunch of crazy people amongst crazy people… you all seem normal to one another I guess. However, let me explain what I mean from an outsider's point of view:
So… Back when WoW ice cream had just one flavor (or was it cata?? oh, well: a long time ago), I heard of a toon making it to 60/70 without dying once. At the time I though : « Man, what a challenge! One day, when I am a grownup, I want to do that too… »
Fast forward to last year. I got BFA nailed, Classic is on its way, and that’s what might actually have triggered the memory, so I said to myself : « Well, you’re a grownup now, time to keep your promises… »
6 hours of browsing, 5 spreadsheets, and 57 gummy bears later (did I mention I might have a tad, just a tiny, tiny bit of undiagnosed OCD?) I am ready. I got the name and background of my character (it's still a RPG after all people), realm, faction, race and class, all set, good to go. But hey… I want to do it right, 1 to 120 without dying is a hell of a challenge, better make sure I don’t miss anything, and so… that’s when I read the rules…
So, you understand now why you are crazy, right? Or at the very least masochists! You realize that this is just plain insane. You want me to run a marathon in sleepers, hands tied behind my back, jumping only on my left leg with no support team… and if I drop a sweat I am disqualified??
Why? But why add such drastic rules ON TOP of the “simple” challenge not to die once? I mean seriously how crazier could this challenge be? Hum? What’s next? Roll a weak melee class with no gear, no weapons and get it to 120 without doing any quest while following the above mentioned 17 rules???
Oh! Wait a minute… that will be extra double insanely crazy, won’t it?
Man I have to try it now… I hate you!
And that’s when I joined the challenge…
So… Now that I proved I am as crazy as you all are (though, you should have had a hint when I started rumbling and talking to myself…) can I stay?

My name is Kanata Nash, and I am insane.
I play a naked feral druid Iron Man / Blood thirsty for the 16th time, but I have been alive for 30 levels now.”

But hey… I want to do it right, 1 to 120 without dying is a hell of a challenge, better make sure I don’t miss anything, and so… that’s when I read the rules…
- #1 – Do not die. Well, it’s a bit crazy already, I mean the game is definitely not aimed to be played like that, but hey, I am there with you, I want to do it.
- #2 – No gear higher than white quality. Hum… did I read that right? You want me to take on one of the most difficult challenges in WoW… under geared? Now THAT is crazy!
- #3 – No talents allowed. So… under geared AND my hands tied… that make sense… NOT!!
- #4 – No profession. God forbid I make any money OR XP… it’s not like I am trying to get to 120, right?
- #5 – No elixirs, potions or flasks. No potions… sure, ain’t if I was trying NOT TO DIE, you fudging crazy gremlins (I was actually crying at this stage of reading the rules)
- #6 to #17 – 12 more rules all aimed to make it even more difficult. No help, no fast track, no buff, no barracks, no bodyguard, no upgrades… no chance to win this!
So, you understand now why you are crazy, right? Or at the very least masochists! You realize that this is just plain insane. You want me to run a marathon in sleepers, hands tied behind my back, jumping only on my left leg with no support team… and if I drop a sweat I am disqualified??
