Brain Dump Alert!

I’ve been doing lotsa things in WoW lately and I need to rattle them off and get them out of my head.

The Ragga @ 28

I decided to not 29 BG her as I really do want to level her to the cap… it’ll take me 10 years to get there, but I’m determined!

I tamed a wind serpent. A purty shiny red one that I ran around looking for in The Barrens. I really really really wanted the one spawned by a Horde quest because it has a unique quality of appearing in a puff of smoke, but I don’t have the patience to make arrangements.

This one will do nicely.

Twinkie

I have a level 29 almost fully twinked resto druid, but I don’t play her much. I think BGs raise my blood pressure in a strangely exhilirating way. I’m pretty much The Hubby’s pocket healer when I BG with his 29 twinks (rogue, shammy, hunter).

With my druid’s twinkage, I discovered that I can actually do some decent damage with my Starfire spell. This one time (sorry, no band camps in Azeroth) I was on my way to meet his shammy at the Horde’s ramp and he was killed before I could get there. I continued, stealthed, and waited at the top for him to res and come back. Instead, the EFC ran up the ramp… alone. He was a few levels lower than me, maybe 25, so I figured what the hell and rooted him and starfired him and moonfired him and rooted him and starfired him to death. Then I returned our flag.

That was fun, especially because I hadn’t thought of her as a killer. Mwuahahaha!

And of course I didn’t capture any screens.

The Horde

Since the inception of this blog, I’ve written primarily about my Alliance characters. A baby Horde hunter made an appearance in one post, but that’s been the extent of any Horde appearances here at Mama Druid. One would assume that I pretty much exclusively play Alliance, and such an assumption would make sense considering the lack of a Horde presence in my posts.

Au contraire!

In fact, my first 60 was a Horde character. My first epic land mount was obtained on that Horde character, and no it wasn’t a BG mount.

Here she is making an appearance in her very first screenshot, dated September 7, 2005.

Before BC I had two 60s Horde side whereas Alliance side I had one. So I’ve spent a good amount of time playing Horde. Just not lately. My poor ladies of the Horde have been collecting a lot of dust and making sad faces at me when I peek at them on the character selection screen.

I don’t know what it is about the Horde, there are many debates as to the differences between the two factions, so I can only speak for myself. When I’m on Horde, I get a sense of peace and calm. It’s like a coming home feeling. You’d think I’d be playing my Horde characters more.

I think so too. So, I dusted off the pally and priest and am now drafting a post or two about their current adventures in Azeroth.

For the Horde!
