As you all know, I recently shifted my toons over to a new server. There was a bit of hesitation as I’ve been playing with the same people for what seems like a bazillion years and getting to know a whole new bunch was a bit scary. Ok, I was worried that they would be kind of normal and I would be the weird one. Last night I realized that I think I’m in the right place after all.
Screenie or it didn’t happen. I wasn’t the one who asked the question, and honestly, I was too busy laughing hysterically to respond.
I just found this one through another site and I am soooo loving this guy beyond words. I would cyber marry him and have his little troll babies if I weren’t already married. If there was ever a place where you could send people to understand what MMO Raiding was really like, this would be the site.

I’ve updated some of my character profiles in the sidebar finally. Since I did those originally, a few toons have made it to 70 and others have better gear so it was time to redo the images. I also made the decision to change servers with my main characters. While I love some of the people and the guild that I’ve been in practically my whole horde existence, it was driving me away from the game trying to deal with everyone as a GM.
I turned the guild over to the other officers and shifted 3 of my toons to Bloodhoof. The only downside was that I had to rename all three in the process. I still refer to them by their old names when I’m talking to friends but I’m slowly getting used to having people in the new guild and actually answering when they talk to me. Mayfield was the biggest issue for me, because that’s who she is and always will be…even though Maizy isn’t bad, it’s not the same.
All of the arguing, gquits, transfers from the original guild made me realize that I love this game because of the raiding. It took watching things slowly decline, logging in day after day to fewer people and no activity to kick me in the butt and make me do something about it. I’ve played around on some low level toons on the new server for a bit, and found the community there filling the gaps in what I was missing most about the game.
I’ve joined up with a great group of people that are still continuing to push through the raid content while the expansion is looming over our heads and it’s been a blast. The other wonderful thing is that Bloodhoof is a eastern time zone server, so I’m starting an hour earlier and finishing before midnight which is helping me out a lot with managing my time for doing other things as well as the game. I’ve cut back on playing as much during the day, however, I’m sure that will change in November with the new content coming.
I’m still logging into the toons on Skywall, but it’s rare that there are more than 5 people on at any time. That whole server has gone into hibernation while waiting for the new expansion, no one seems to be doing anything at all. I think I’ve made the right choice.
