WoW WoeS
My attraction to WoW started when I sat by N's shoulder and watched him play. Occasionally I'd try my hand at killing mobs on his blood elf hunter, and eventually ended up levelling Elvyn from 60 to 70.
That wasn't enough, however, and I wanted a character of my own. But I didn't want to play it on my own. I thought about joining some WoW community here on LJ and finding a buddy to play with. It didn't come to that when N, having found a new interest in the game playing a level 70 character, promised to make a new character and play with me.
His first creation was Marrow, an undead rogue, which he abandoned in his twenties as boring and switched on to a blood elf mage (Venla was the very first character N made on this realm but abandoned in favour of Elvyn, and I levelled her past the 20 mark).
That lasted for a while but N again got bored playing a low level character and doing the same quests over and over again (which I totally get). So now he's playing Elvyn with his guildies, doing instances and battlegrounds and so on.
N very readily boosts me through an instance when I ask, but exp and fast levelling aren't the main point of this game to me. I want company, someone to figure things out with and try crazy stuff. Now it's just me playing my paladin and levelling gruesomely slowly because I'm holy/protection hybrid and that means very little damage.
Also, I'm in Elvyn's guild where everyone is level 70 and have very little interest in the old world content. Maybe I should just find a new guild of other low level characters and play with them. I could advance faster, not taking forever to kill things to progress and then being told all we ever do is play the game.
Well, I do want to get to level 70 eventually and it takes time! I totally don't begrudge N the fun he's having, I just want to find my own kind of fun. What that will be, I don't know yet. Bronze Dragonflight doesn't seem like a very good server and is full of people with absolutely no grasp of the English language. Mine ain't perfect either, but I can spell and be understood.
I've thought about changing servers and 'starting over' but who knows if other realms will be any different. Maybe I'll stick to doing green quests and playing when N isn't at home.
Oh, and I totally need a WoW icon. I'll use this one to cheer myself up.
