To celebrate the blog nearly almost reaching its “10.000 visitors per month” mark, I thought it would be funny to make up a competition. And because I am getting an artist to make over the site with some cool drawings, I thought it would be a great idea to make a drawing competition!
And what can you win in this outstanding drawing competition? You can win your very own, very shiny, very prestigious Retarted Celestial Steed! That’s right, get your very own horse of the stars! The rules of the competition are as follows:
- Anybody can enter, druids and non druids.
- Image must be of a druid, in any form or shape, and in any situation you feel like depicting.
- Winner is picked based on effort, not skill. As long as you can make a circle with a pencil, you have a shot at winning!
- If you already have a Retarted Horse, give the code to someone else or – upon your request – trade it in for a buyable combat pet.
- To submit your image, post a link in the comment section below. Be sure to add your e-mail (can only be seen by me) in the field as well.
- Winner will be picked by me, and announced on the blog. The winner will also get a notification by e-mail.
- Contest will end on the 8th of August at 12.00 CET!
- One price, one winner.
So get out your paints and start colouring them lines. Obviously, while it may lower your chances to win, I’d like a lot of weird, funny and different submissions, so please do share a link to this competition with your friends – especially if you’ve enjoyed reading the blog so far.
To start it off, here is my submission. Don’t worry, you don’t have to draw as professionally as myself, and no, I can’t win my own competition!

I suppose it would be in order to start out the blog by giving a brief introduction to myself.
Before World of Warcraft, I had been playing Anarchy Online. Oh, those were the days. I snigger a bit whenever people talk about their WoW twinks, because Anarchy Online was actual, hardcore twinking. I played for about a year and a half, before World of Warcraft came and ruined everything.
I managed to get two hours of playtime on the US beta before the servers shut down. Later, when the Beta started in Europe, i had a few weeks of fun to actually test it out – on my female night elf hunter. Yeah, I am that kind of person too. Once the game came out in Europe, i decided that since 80% of WoW’s population was female nelf hunters, I would certainly not be one of those, and I rolled a gnome warlock instead.
Helios, my little gnome, was in retrospect a giant newbie for his small size. I sort of just pressed some buttons until things died. I managed to get him to level 55 before I ditched him and made an undead priest. As I got to level 60, i started doing some casual raiding as a healer – it’s not like I had much choice back then, right? Healing wasn’t intensely hard back in the days, because it usually involved clicking the macro for EZheal (a mod that would simply cast flash heal on the person with the lowest health), and everybody was doing this. Bosses was a bit more difficult, with pauses during the fight to regen mana, but it generally wasn’t very stressfull. I made it up to stare at The Twins in AQ40 and then The Burning Crusade came out – and broke the wonderfull addon.
