Moment of Silence

Marksman hunters, you specced 41 points in your talent tree, so learn how to use that shot, shoot everyone with it today, for a minutes silence is due for Gary Gygax (July 27,1938 - March 4 2008), now you might not know who he is, so I'll tell you a little information, although if you want more wikipedia has a page on him.

Now it may be unclear why any WoW players should bow their heads to this man's passing, Gary Gygax had no direct interference with the Warcraft series, what this man did was work on the creation of Dungeons and Dragons, you know, the game with the dice where you have to write things on paper and use your imagination! D&D is commonly seen as the foundation of fantasy games everywhere, so much fantasy is derived from this game its simply unbelievable, what do you think made fireball such a classic mage spell? Who decided that rogues should be stealthy? Where do you find an archer who has a pet animal? All from D&D!

Who knows if WoW would exist if d&d didn't, certainly it would be different, Today we mourn the passing of a man who helped shape fantasy gaming as we know it today, and I think that makes him due a healthy amount of respect.

"I would like the world to remember me as the guy who really enjoyed playing games and sharing his knowledge and his fun pastimes with everybody else."
