Blizzard has updated their stories page with two new stories of friendship from inside World of Warcraft. This story is Tier 6 Friendship:
The second Arena season was half over and there I was, in the middle of the ocean, sitting on the water thinking of what to do next (as shamans like I often do). I was finished with raids for the week, had 75k honor stocked up, and had enough gold in my pocket to buy a small island. I had the title of Gladiator, and was wearing a full set of merciless gear with the choice of just about any tabard there was in World of Warcraft.
I figured the best thing to do would be to log out and find a different form of entertainment for the time being. Just as I was about to pack up and leave, I caught sight of a druid in aquatic form swimming up right beneath me.
I sure wish I could walk on water, she says.
You know... I can make it happen, I reply.
Soon after, we were sitting out there, just chatting away, and sharing tales of our experiences throughout Azeroth and Outland. We must have spent a good hour or two talking with each other. We became friends that day, and have been ever since.
I often think about that time and realize... just when I thought there was no more progression to be had, I could not have been more wrong. I learned that even though I may not need reputation, honor, or gold, I could always use another friend.
The next story is Kitten Companion.
