Hey all
The wife and I are all settled down out in Edmonton. Loving it so far though I gotta say the first week or so was a bit of a shock for me I think. But now all is starting to be as it should.
She and I have been leveling some Alliance toons as of late. I know we're betraying our lifetime of being horde but sometimes being bad feels so good. And it's nice to play a character with good posture that isn't a Blood Elf for once.
We're really enjoying the experience so far. I'm doing the Squidface Mage thing and she's doing the Human Paladin. Prot paly/mage is like power leveling it's so completely overpowered. But doing something as simple as changing from Horde to Alliance has done a lot to refresh the game I've loved for 5 years. Especially from the point of view of a guy who loves the lore of the game.
I think today put into sharp focus how much you miss when you only play one faction in the game your whole play time. We did the Wrathgate event and man was it EPIC. I mean it was already pretty epic on Horde side but fighting through Undercity with Varian was totally a great time.
We've also made the commitment to start reading the quest text for every quest we get in Northrend on these toons. Frankly in the rush to get to 80 I usually just walk up to the !, click accept and go. But since I started reading all the quests I find I'm having a pretty good time. Naturally things take a little bit longer but that's a pretty good trade off in that I now know WHY I'm supposed to be slaughtering half the population of the continent.
Frankly I'm looking forward to getting to 80 and gearing up again. It's something I haven't done for a long time. I haven't been a raider since I left Unholy Aura last year and frankly it's something I miss a bit. Though my reasons for leaving still stand I miss being part of a coordinated group meeting up to accomplish a goal. We shall see what happens with this new server of mine.
Well that's all for me. Should probably get some sleep so I can be alert for Casually Hardcore and Octale and Hordak. Night =D
