While I’ve been in a lackadaisical mood about the game for the past month or so, I have been playing and accomplishing a few things here and there:
- Selenyx learned epic flying and bought an epic flyer - Wheeee! - and started the quest line for epic flight form
- Protection Belfadin leveled from 39 to 40 and loves her AoE tanking spec and mount
- 61 Undead priest respecced from shadow to disc/holy and is much happier
- 48 Troll mage dropped skinning for alchemy and powerleveled it to 270
- deleted and created a handful of Alliance characters
(one of those deleted characters was my 29 twink druid who, by the way, had more HP than my 48 mage) - having fun with the Fire Festival
I’m really just puttering around ingame with no driven purpose or motivation. Since posting my response to the Blog Azeroth shared topic question “What are you doing to prepare for WotLK?” I’ve been thinking about it a bit more seriously. When the time comes, which of my characters do I want adventuring in Northrend?
The most obvious answer would be Mama Druid herself, Selenyx.
But…
When I play Alliance and see Horde, I get warm fuzzies and want to join them. When I play Horde and see Alliance, I do not get warm fuzzies and am sometimes overcome with feelings of wanting to hurt them.
I asked The Hubby if he would prefer to play the expansion on Horde or Alliance. Horde was his answer.
So maybe I am doing something to prepare for WotLK afterall… thinking about switching sides. In doing so, I’m recovering from the Apathy bug. As far as recoveries go, this one is slow and steady and will no doubt accelerate in the near future.

All this time from google reader I’ve been thinking you were a hordie….and now I find out the truth.
But on the good side you are thinking about coming over to the good side! Yay!
Join the horde! Rawr!
Good thing too, the horde has a quite good community
bbrs last blog post..Update, rawr!
lol @ Damm, that is most interesting. Perhaps my “Hordeyness” shines through my writing. Fortunately, joining Horde will be easy enough as picking up my 64 Orc hunter, or 61 Undead priest, or 50 Troll mage. =)
@ BBR - For the Horde!
Heh, I always have warm fuzzies for the other side - as long as they’re being polite. There’s something about helping the supposed Enemy that’s very rebellious, anti-rules, “do your own thing, play your own way” that appeals to me. Plus it’s always fun to be able to help someone you can’t communicate with except in the most basic way. Or maybe I’m just being contrary, especially when I’m told I have to hate the other side.
Meanwhile I can’t see how people play the game and don’t have alts on both sides. How else are you going to be able to really explore all the country and cities? Er, at your leisure I mean, not by running in and glancing around while being chased by guards.
2 of my three characters (Tauren, Draenei) don’t hate the other side. They think the entire skirmishing between the two is at best a waste of time and resources, and at worst will let the Legion come down and enslave us all.
@Batgrl - there is so much more to explore when doing so with characters from both factions. It can be like playing a different game!
@Grizo - I’ve always thought it would have been interesting if our characters were able to choose their faction. Afterall, the Alliance and Horde basically fight the same enemies. Why aren’t we working together for the sake of Azeroth? I understand some hold onto old hurts or historic wounds and may never recover from them. But for those of us who want to work together for the greater good, why not let us choose to do so? What a game that would be, eh?
