Gitr Knows WoW

Now that we are discussing a realm move, it’s time to test the waters again with Buttered Monkeys. Given that we have a few care bears (used with the utmost respect) in our ranks, I’ve been wondering for quite some time how many of you faithful readers would like to join in on the guild fun that we are clearly having together, but can’t stand the PvP atmosphere.

I personally would not choose a PvP realm for a toon had it not been for upper level help from Aeigelus and gang. I rolled Deadr back in August or September and missed out on level 60 material that whole time. By the time I hit 60, most of the guild was between 65 and 70. Now, they are halfway (or more) through Karazan, keyed for all kinds of stuff, and have tens of thousands of PvP kills.

If you run instances, you really want to bookmark WoW Loot for frequent reference. The site is set up with every class across the top of the page. If someone wants to run an instance, you can quickly access your class’ loot list and check out what instances have to offer you. Nothing that doesn’t apply to your class gets in the way of your quick scanning.

It’s also great for making your wish lists. Go check it out now and thank me later. Seriously.

From what I’ve seen from Gitr’s WoW Blog readers, we have alts. Some of us have alts everywhere. How many of those are going dead because of the pain of not being able to share items, gold, or guilds? I have 7 or 8 toons collecting dust on Kargath because of Burning Legion. These are my original toons we are talking about. Gitr for crying out loud! Lonely, sad, poor Gitr. He’s still level 60 and wearing crappy gear.

There have been some issues of ganking on BL with some pretty bored level 70s, as Kinless pointed out yesterday. Although the probability of getting attacked higher up is still the same, the ability to escape, if that is your preferred method, gets better. Add that to the decreasing number of levels someone can have on you, adds to your safety in numbers if you’re running with guildies.

Now the topic of getting Buttered Monkeys going on a PvE realm is rolling around the BM forums. $25/toon for a transfer is quite a commitment, and one that will still leave toons on BL for sure. Some of us have leveled our toons to 30, and nearly all of us are over 24. For Frostr, that is only 29 hours of commitment, but others have over 100g and some good PvP stats.

Open for discussion for all: what would lead you to pay to transfer or re-roll on a new realm? Is $25 a hinderance?
