I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the guild lately; probably ten times more than I want to let my wife know about. It’s not really been a stressful time, but I do feel some immediate sense of a need to succeed. We have a very good group of players, all of whom have toons over 60 on their own realms and have gone out of their way to re-roll and run with other bloggers. Now we are either re-rolling or transferring, possibly wasting days of playing to abandon a toon or two.
We had enough people (at times, myself included; just look at my [tag]ganking[/tag] rants on the blog) who are feeling unwelcome on [tag]Burning Legion[/tag] by the other faction. Being the insensitive type that I am, I just passed it off as whining for a while, and then I realized that I have been getting pissed a bit more than normal myself. I had gone through the upper 50s with Deadr without too much trouble because people were either my level or too busy playing in [tag]Outlands[/tag] to bother him.
We discovered that [tag]Kargath[/tag] was over-populated, that some didn’t want to RP, and others still want PvP. The majority said that they would rather re-roll than transfer toons, and 2 said that they would like us all to start fresh if some people have to. I agreed to that sensibility. I am not entirely happy about leaving Bloodr behind as a level 30 hot chick, but I can always move her later if I’m rolling in cash.
It’s theย comaraderie that matters the most to me. I don’t want to “waste” a player any more than the next person, but I wouldn’t call my time on BL with my favorite [tag]Buttered Monkeys[/tag] a waste. I’ll never forget that time in Deatholme with Mind and Snow when we tried taking down Dar’Khan way undermanned. Or that time I cleared half of Bael’dun in one pull and emptied the big chamber in another.
This is your sounding-board. Forget the guild forums for this bit of guild stuff. How are you with the move so far? Did the communication suck or do you feel like you weren’t heard based on the decision?ย Will you be re-rolling with us on Velen? Mindkiller joined me as Ravenkiller (yes, with the “er” this time). You know it’s a good realm when Huntr is still available. ๐ Get your favorite name while you still can.
Are you a reader of Gitr’s WoW Blog and didn’t want to run with us on PvP, but are cool with PvE? Let us know and we’ll get together as soon as we can pool together 10g.
Sound off, people.
I am happy with it I think the communication was there and most people chimed in and I believe the best decision was made for everyone.
I will be on in about an hour and a half, re-rolling away. I think the fresh start sounded reasonable, though admittedly I have not been on as much as the rest of the guild. I have enjoyed myself thoroughly when I have had the time to play, and I wish I had more. Stupid responsibility ๐
I’ve been thinking about rolling a toon on whatever realm you decided on. It just sucks because my main is on Lothar, and the alt I’m trying to level is on Lothar as well. And they’re Alliance, so that doesn’t work out too well, eh?
So, I might roll an alt with you guys, though I don’t know how much I’ll play him/her, and I don’t want to just be some slug who gets to lvl 6 then never logs on again, I’d feel bad. haha.
We shall see.
I will eventually move Gitr over, so then we can have Alliance and Horde to co-ordinate whether we do a Horde night or Alliance night. Thankfully, I have both Alliance and Horde TBC toons, so I was easily able to go with the majority.
Besides, ally don’t have a cool saying like For the Horde!.
Alliance have: Death To Hogger!!
Howdy all.
Kinless has created a new alt over on Velen. His name is Palatine. He’s a Paladin, of course. He’ll be joined shortly by the Missus, when she gets online tonight. She’ll probably create Sunderella, a Warlock. (I found that Valentine was already taken. ๐ )
We’ll keep Alliance over on Steamwheedle and otherwise play Horde alts here on Velen with you all.
Will be amusing. Hope to catch up with you all.
Great to have you onboard! I’ll be online sometime after Idol is over. I’ll probably catch up with you in the morning (5-6am EDT)?
I may start one this afternoon. I will likely roll a rogue again (though mage yearnings are starting to yank at me). I may just use the same name – I am not that clever when it comes to names. And there are only so many lubricants one can use for names.
Awesome. Things are coming together just as I have forseen.
Easy on the “Channeling of the emperor” there boss.
