Recently I uninstalled my beloved World of Warcraft and put it on hiatus until the next expansion, Cataclysm, is released. The reason is simple. I was bored. I have played for about two years now and though I am no where near geared in tier 10 (best you can get as of the most recent patch) I do have a max level (80) Tauren Hunter and a decent set of gear. Grinding and farming bore me too so getting those last 4 points in leather working probably isn’t gonna happen either. Just as I had sworn off my beloved game and sought out a replacement, at least for the time being, something happened… I missed it.
Yeah, it’s true that I had only missed it for a couple days but still, I missed it. Even though I only played a couple hours a week if I was lucky, I missed it. I thought back to when I first started playing and the rush I got when I saw new zones and trained new spells. I missed it. I wanted a new experience and being a lifelong (game time anyway) Horde, I did the unthinkable.
I rolled an Alliance toon. Not just any Alliance, a Dranei mage. I have always disliked the Dranei because they’re just not cool in my opinion. I played my Dranei mage to level 7 and realized that the Space Goat was not for me… you see Dranei have cloven hooves like goats and they are aliens… Space Goat. Get it? I scrapped Phogg and went with something that I have always thought was pretty kick ass. A midget, or to be politically correct, a gnome.
By this time I knew I was gonna like the mage class and what could be cooler than a “little person” hurling fireballs and turning bad guys into sheep? The ONLY thing that would be cooler is rolling a Goblin but that is coming soon enough in the Cataclysm EP. So I rolled my mini-mage and named him Twiix. Like the candy Twix but with 2 i’s. Though I feel filthy for turning to the Alliance to get me through my slump I see the light at the end of the tunnel in which I can switch factions down the road if i choose to keep this little guy. I won’t be a midget any more but I will be back with the Horde. Thats only if I have the patience to level another toon. I know some of you have leveled 4 or 5 toons to 80 and good for you… I have a life (albeit not much of one considering I play WoW in the first place) but I have a son and a baby-mama and I own a business and stuff. I’m not gonna justify my inability to level multiple toons but suffice to say, its not my favorite thing to do.
Anywho, I thought since I am experiencing something new I would share and maybe if you are good I will keep a journal of sorts on it. Later.
BTW – if you want to find me look for Twiix on Bleeding Hollow or if you are Horde my main is Skullspoon and I am also on Beryll both on the same server.
