FAQ:

Q. Is Michelle De Rum, the Pet Collector NPC named after you?

A. Yes. This NPC is a tribute to me and my warrior Drrum, on Stormrage.

Q. How long have you been playing World of Warcraft?

A. I first played in 2005, but did not create a character and begin collecting until 2007.

Q. How do you pronounce your name?

A. It's pronounced like the word "drum", although occasionally friends pronounce it "durr-um" or "doctor rum" for unknown reasons. ;)

Q. Do you really own all those costumes, clothing/armor sets, and weapons?

A. Up until the WotLK expansion, I still owned every item in my screenshots. Due to obvious inventory issues, I have since vendored many sets of armor and weapons, and will continue to vendor one set for every new set I buy.

Q. How do you store all your stuff?

A. Drrum owns 11 Royal Satchels. She uses three bank alts with two 6-tab guild banks to store her non-bound items. I love the tabs for mounts and pets, and I'm very thankful for "account bound" inventory items. I hope Blizzard will someday implement a similar system for tabards, toys, and garb.

Q. Which pet is your favorite? Which mount is your favorite?

A. Tough question. For a long time my favorite pet was Peanut. As a bat lover, I am especially fond of my Vampiric Batling. My favorite pet is now the Winterspring Cub. My favorite mounts are my Swift Zulian Tiger, my Raven Lord, and my Zhevra, although I really love my Chopper. My favorite flyer is the Amani Dragonhawk.

Q. What was the most difficult pet or mount to obtain?

A. The Kirin Tor Familiar, Mr. Pinchy were very time-consuming pets to obtain. While my Wintersaber mount was probably the most difficult reputation grind for a mount, the Razzashi Raptor eluded me through years of hunting Zul'Gurub.

Q. I notice you don't have screenshots of all your pets and mounts. Will you eventually have a screenshot of each one?

A. Yes. I hope to eventually include screenshots of every pet and mount I own.

Q. Any pets you don't own that you would love to have?

A. Yes. For many, the holy grail of pets is the Panda Cub. Someday I hope to own one! UPDATE: On December 1st, 2009, through an arrangement made with my friend Brian (Breanni) and his friend Tom, I was able to acquire the Collector's Edition original key and upgrade my account with the Original CE pets: Panda Cub, Zergling, and Mini Diablo! I am thrilled with my new pets, especially my Panda Cub! Thank you
