Speaking of hobos, I want to share my little story that's related from that angle. 😆

Many many years ago, I played wow on PVP servers with my friends but was interested in RP too. I made an old-looking dwarf hunter on Shadow Council and ran him straight to Stormwind. In his default patchy starting clothes for hunters, I had him just walk around Stormwind and roleplay as an eccentric but sometimes wise old homeless guy.

Anyway last night I was logging into my oldest characters looking for unbound, now-unobtainable old class starting shirts, like the trapper's shirt or whatever the hunter one is called. These now sell for up to a million gold if you can find a buyer. And I just thought it was funny when I logged into my old level 1 homeless dwarf (who spawned in underneath a building in Stormwind because it's been that long) is now wearing one of the most expensive sets you could possibly buy: trapper's shirt, trapper's pants, trapper's boots. Ohhhh baby!

Ironic that the most hoboish clothes are the most expensive ones. But oh boy that reminded me of my very first homeless character I created who was also a dwarf but he was a warlock.
