on since 2007.
I spent months as a true n00b but eventually found myself a guild and a raiding spot as a balance druid (sometimes known as the &ldquo;OOMkin&rdquo;).
As I learned more about the game, I quickly discovered addons: additional, community-built software that runs inside of the game client.
Addons can do so many things: track DPS (damage per second) numbers, show what loot a boss drops, or completely redesign the user interface.</p><p>Eventually, I went to college for Software Engineering.
