On the last night of Winter Veil, four members of Carpe Flux Capacitor decided to go on a Winter Veil sleigh ride through Orgrimmar together! From left to right, that’s Syravia (Marc), me, Mooglegem (gem), and Mushkin (Matt).
I look especially silly in this one I think, but I’m also blocking Mooglegem unfortunately.
We’re gonna hit the camera!
I also recorded our little ride too.
As an added bonus, can I just say that cutscenes are way more fun when I’m in my Winter Veil transmog?
Happy 17 years to World of Warcraft! It’s crazy that the game is still going and I’m still playing! Here’s my current main, Sotiros, with the anniversary event world boss, Doomwalker. I’m also using the Akama’s Edge weapon transmog that was introduced for the event!
I took a screenshot of my first character, Petros, for this post. He’s level 14 now after the Shadowlands level squish but was 32 previously. I don’t think I broke level 20 with him before I switched mains. In this screenshot, my warrior is wearing mail boots (because I didn’t have anything else), no helm, and no belt!
This is the earliest screenshot I can find of Petros, night elf warrior and my first main, on 11/25/2004. This is only two days after the game was released.
By 12/12/2004, I had switched to Dimitri, a tauren hunter.
At some point soon after that, I made a hunter on a different server. I wanted to switch from a PVE to a PVP server. This is Petros, orc hunter, on 5/15/2005.
I can tell by my screenshots that on 3/18/2007, I hit 20 on Petros, my warrior. I’m not sure if he was back to being my main or if I was bouncing between a few.
By 10/16/2007, I was playing Sotiros, my shaman, as my main. He was level 24 in this screenshot. Crazy that he’s back to being my main today! He’s the same character shown in the screenshot at the top.
When gem started playing, I switched to a priest to help her level until she caught up with my main. I loved playing him so much that I decided to keep him as my main. Here’s the earliest screenshot I can easily find of Devee from 3/25/2008. gem’s character, Mooglegem, is in the background. Devee was my main until the most recent major patch, 9.1, on 6/29/2021. He was my main for over 13 years!
Here’s a good screenshot of Devee with Mooglegem. It’s one of the earliest I can find of the two of us where you can see us both clearly. This is from 4/4/2008!
As an added bonus, here’s a screenshot of Mooglegem with Sylvanas on 4/11/2008. This is during Sylvanas singing Lament of the Highborne upon turn-in of the quest Journey to Undercity. Things sure have changed!
Today is my dad’s birthday, so I thought I’d share this screenshot. Ever since I was a kid, I primarily used “Petros” as a character name for melee characters and “Sotiros” for casters. This started long before WoW existed. My current main is named Sotiros, a tauren shaman. “Sotiros” is Greek for “Steven,” which is my dad’s name, and I’m Greek-American. In World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, there is a zone called Bastion that’s heavily influenced by Greek mythology. Bastion has a summonable boss named Eliminator Sotiros. To celebrate my dad’s birthday, I wanted to share this screenshot of my Sotiros with Eliminator Sotiros. I took this so I could show him when I take him out to dinner!
My troll likes watching the fireworks in Orgrimmar! I’m glad Mooglegem reminded me to go check them out this year.
I brought the Inky Black Potions, which I think made it looked cooler. Honestly, those potions make most places look better! I hope everyone in the US had a great Fourth of July!
I don’t have anything terribly insightful to say, but I wanted to share some screenshots of Zandalar. I love that we can jump on these big boys to ride around the zone. I’m on the far side, and Mooglegem is closer to the camera.
These direhorn are just so cute!
This shows the citizens of Dazar’alor at Rastakhan’s funeral.
I met Versidia from Bronzebeard in a Throne of Thunder LFR run recently. I liked her transmog so grabbed a picture. She looks like she could be a high priestess of the Farraki! I complimented her transmog, and she replied that it took her five months to get the robe.
Every once in a while I can’t resist a photo op, even if there isn’t much to say about it!
Mooglegem and I started the Order of the Cloud Serpent faction recently. Look at these cute little guys. I said look at them! I want to permanently have a gang of multi-colored cloud serpent hatchlings following me around.

We found this nice place to set up camp with Ruthers on the side of a mountain in Kun-lai Summit. (Unfortunately, we were attacked by Alliance shortly after this was taken.)

One of my Christmas gifts from Mooglegem was this Heart of the Aspects pet. I may have overfed him a little in my raid to get him to grow. Thanks, Mooglegem!

While clearing out the Scarlet Monastery with Bulleto, I got covered in blood. Try as I might, I couldn’t get it to wash off. Bulleto, however, seemed to be enjoying shower time.
After getting my Magical Crawdad on the first try, Mr. Pinchy has just been using up bag space. I decided to use him up, and on my last charge Furious Mr. Pinchy came to play!
Mooglegem and I meeting a special Alliance member that some Horde operatives captured. Not to sound like a traitor, but I’d really like to let this man go!
I haven’t had a chance to really play Mists of Pandaria yet, so here’s another photo op! After infiltrating Theramore, I claimed the city for myself! On my right is Mooglegem, and on my left is the warrior Vylane of Draka (from a random group).
While running Theramore’s Fall a bunch, Mooglegem and I had to stop in Jaina’s tower for a photo. Behind us you can see Rhonin, Jaina, and Kalecgos.
I wish they weren’t my enemies in this situation. Sorry you three!
In other news, happy Mists of Pandaria! The attack on Theramore triggers the war that’s the start of Mists of Pandaria, so since I don’t actually have anything to say about Mists of Pandaria yet, this seemed like a good post for today.

Devee stopped into a Wildhammer dwarf’s home in the Twilight Highlands and found a painting of a scantily clad human lady. Do the Wildhammer dwarves desire human women? And what’s with that hood? I guess they like cultists too.
