Today is the last day of 2008 and, consequently, the last Breakfast Topic of the year. The biggest thing to happen to World of Warcraft players this year is Wrath of the Lich King. Captain Obvious golfclaps. There were also some monumental patches and WWI and BlizzCon were pretty cool, too. But these were Blizzard's accomplishments. For the last day of the year, let's talk about what we, as players, accomplished and also what we didn't do this year, but wish we had... perhaps to prepare our in-game goals for the next year.

My biggest accomplishment in WoW was discovering the class in which I am having the most fun ever since playing the game in open beta: the Mage. I only wish I had discovered how much I love playing her much sooner, so that I could be farther along in the content on what is my new favorite character. Instead, I am 2 years behind, hanging out in the Outland with all the Death Knights.


The Spousal Unit's biggest accomplishment was mobilizing his guild to get all of the main raiders Amani War Bear mounts during that pre-patch 3.0.2 apathetic period. His biggest regret was spending a ton of gold just before the expansion on his 3rd 70, a Warrior, in order to get him epic flight -- only to roll a Death Knight and never look back. (All 3 of his pre-Wrath 70s are still 70). If he hadn't, he'd already be riding around on a Chopper.

What are your biggest in-game accomplishments and regrets for 2008?
