<p class="font_6" dir="ltr"><span class="color_11">My name is <strong>Graham</strong>, I&#8217;ve been married for 18 years (June 2002), and I&#8217;m a full-time househusband to my wife <strong>Sharna</strong> and father to 3 daughters; one of which I care for full-time, due to type 1 diabetes.</span></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve followed me for some time, you&#8217;ll be aware that our family had a significant scare almost two years ago, when at the ripe age of 38, my wife, suffered two heart-attacks. Understandably put <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> and all my other hobbies on the back burner. But I&#8217;m thankful to say that as things start improving for Sharna, that hobbies and interests are back and with a vengeance.</p>
<p>My other hobbies include <strong>Football</strong> (I support <strong>Man Utd</strong>), <strong>Online Poker</strong>, and I also play <strong>English 8-ball pool</strong> competitively for my local Pool team. I have an interest in <strong>drawing</strong> and <strong>writing</strong>. Being <strong>colourblind</strong>, limited my ability and progress thus giving up. Thankfully I use my interest in writing to express my journey through <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> with this blog. My eldest daughter <strong>Isabella</strong> has carried the torch for drawing and has helped me design my future artwork for my website.</p>
<h2>Who am I in-game?</h2>
<p class="font_6" dir="ltr"><span class="color_11">My main character is called <strong>Grahran</strong>. The name I created by a mixture of my first name and surname, and he plays on <strong>Horde</strong> (<strong>EU</strong>). I have played him since the pre-patch of <strong>Cataclysm</strong>. My first ever character <strong>Graran</strong> was a <strong>Feral Druid</strong>, which I no longer have.</span></p>
<h2>Gold-Making in Warcraft!</h2>
<p class="font_6" dir="ltr"><span class="color_11">My main success within <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> mainly stems from <strong>Gold-Making</strong>. My past goals amounted to <strong>1m</strong> gold in <strong>Warlords of Draenor</strong> (<strong>WoD</strong>) before the Gold Cap increase in <strong>Legion</strong>. On the Legion release, I generated <strong>5m</strong> gold on all characters, thanks to the <strong>Legion BoE</strong> market which I shared to readers here. Before I took a forced break (as mentioned above) from the game, I reached <strong>99.4m</strong> gold on all my characters. Sadly, my balance declined, thanks to gold and inventory expiring in the mail during my break from the game. However, on my return, I have approximately <strong>23.7m</strong> gold &#8211; which I think shows how much I&#8217;ve had to outlay to get going again. The outlay includes rebuilding my inventory, purchasing <strong>6-month game-time</strong>, and <strong>Shadowlands</strong> expansions for all eight accounts and, of course, my <strong>Brutosaur Mount</strong>.</span></p>
<h2>Past Warcraft Experiences.</h2>
<p class="font_6" dir="ltr"><span class="color_11">I used to raid for a Guild called <strong>Influx</strong> &#8211; <strong>Neptulon Horde</strong> (<strong>EU</strong>), and sadly, on the release of <strong>WoD</strong>, the Guild transferred to <strong>Draenor Horde</strong> (<strong>EU</strong>) and changed the name to <strong>Sanction</strong>. We were a casual raiding guild, raiding three nights a week for 2-3 hours per raid. Halfway through <strong>WoD</strong>, I decided to stop raiding due to time constraints and struggling to socialise on <strong>Teamspeak</strong>. I&#8217;m grateful for the time spent, as I made some great friends along the journey, thankfully, many I still keep in touch with today.</span></p>

<h2 class="font_6"><span class="color_11">Current and Future Goals.</span></h2>
<p class="font_6" dir="ltr"><span class="color_11">As I mentioned previously, I enjoy writing about my journey within <strong>World of Warcraft</strong> and, importantly, sharing advice that I feel may help others in-game. </span><span class="color_11">I don&#8217;t have any interests in <strong>streaming</strong> or creating <strong>Youtube</strong> videos due to social anxiety. Blogging and creating content for this website, is likely the only way I&#8217;ll express myself. I hope to have plenty of guides and advice as we get accustomed to <strong>Shadowlands</strong>. I managed to get access to <strong>BETA</strong>, but time wasn&#8217;t on my side.</span></p>
