Waiting for the Dust to Settle

My laptop was returned to me today with all the bugs (potentially) gone. At the moment, I've been a little afraid to start it up only to see the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death". Nothing can make your stomach drop down harder than trying to open a file, then all of a sudden...BLUE! Only time will tell if the problems have truly been eliminated.

What does it mean if these problems are gone? Simple, the hiatus will end. I think I've spent enough time way to get "fresh air" that I should be able to delve back down into the world of Azeroth. And it isn't like I was getting anything down with my time off. I thought I'd use the time to play some other game titles that have started to gather dust, but the most I've done was replay GTA 4 and I still haven't finished it this second time through.

The current plan of action for my return is still not fully decided. I do know that I'll be moving servers...again. I will return to my roots and be true to myself. I will return to The Horde! All my friends that originally were on Blade's Edge (US) on the Alliance have made the move while I was gone. Some started new toons, most though paid to have their alliance characters transferred. The choice to transfer or start from scratch is rather simple for me. For financial reasons, I'll have to start from the beginning...once again. LOL!

It does kind of depress me in a way, because it will awhile to level to 80 again. I realize that I could just start a Death Knight and be that much closer to 80, but if I'm planning to play a toon from start to finish, I want one that I can call my main. I've got time to think about what toon combination that I'll choose before I restart my account. I do have a few ideas as to what I'd like to do such as:

Undead Rogue (I loved my alliance rogue. Stealth, Poison, Pick Pocket. What is there not to love?)
Undead Warlock (My first toon years ago was a warlock, even though underplayed now, still a fun solo class.)
Tauren Druid (A little bit of everything: healer, tank, melee dps, ranged dps.)

Of course, there are many other combinations that jump out at me that I'd want to try. Who is to say that I won't try these and more? I am the alt-a-maniac, am I not? I'll probably start playing a little bit of each classes like I always do. But this time I want to try to at least stick to one toon most of the time. Trying, though, being the most important part. Only time will tell.

Switching Gears

Whoa! What happened?! Last thing I remember I was working on leveling my Night Elf Rogue. Well, nothing too bad happened. I decided to switch gears mid-way in my leveling. While leveling in the Outlands, I decided to start playing my Hunter again, Kaldalon, who I had stopped playing last year. He was last seen in the Tanaris desert probably fuming while the dust collected in his boots.

Before you think that I got rid of my Rogue, I still have her, she is currently level 66 sitting pretty in the Outlands waiting for me to finish up leveling Kaldalon, which as of today, reached the lofty goal of level 80. Now before you think that I'm going to drop him to go back to my rogue to get her to level 80, the answer is two fold. Yes, I am going to go back to the Outlands to get her leveled, but not immediately.

While playing the game off and on the last few months, I came to realize what is important to me in terms of playing. Am I a hardcore gamer? Yes! Do I want to experience as much content that I can? Yes! Do I have the time to do everything that I want to? Not really, but I do try to do what I can. With me being a full time worker, dad, and husband, I don't get much time to play. I have to try and fit it in when I can.

I've always enjoyed playing my Hunter even when I played on Skywall with my Orc Hunter. Heck, I was one of the few Horde Hunters with a Ghost Saber as my pet, but I digress. While Kaldalon has become my main once again, I still plan to enjoy all the other race/class combinations that I can with all the different profession combination thrown into the mix.

So as it stands at the moment, I will be running with my Hunter for awhile leveling up his gear and working on the dailies available to him. Right now, my currently goals are:

1. Earn enough money to purchase Cold-Weather Flying (about 600 gold to go)
2. Purchase an epic flying mount (only one I, Magic Broom, is only good during Hallow's End)
3. Work on Cooking Dailies to get 100 Cooking Award (already about halfway there)
4. Begin working on getting Heirloom Items for my alts (either by running heroics, Wintergrasp, or Argent Tournament)

These are my current goals. Follow me while I work on them or change them up. Only time will tell, but in the mean time...Eat, Sleep, and Game!

My Alts

It is hard to find ideas to post about. I've been trying to think of a topic and have decided. As I post, I'll reference my currently toons. Well, most probably don't know me, or what type of race and classes that I currently play. Here is a brief description of my current.

Kaldalon (my main and source of gold making)
Level 53
Night Elf Hunter

Twytch (my current leveling agenda)
Level 24
Night Elf Rogue

Chrysis
Level 59
Night Elf Death Knight

Alaru
Level 22
Draenei Mage

Maelon
Level 14
Night Elf Druid

Keyva
Level 16
Human Warlock

Potarna
Level 8
Draenei Shaman

All these on the save server. I've got others on at least 6 other servers, but these are the current ones that I'm playing on. There are probably two distinct things that you may have noticed. A majority of my characters on this server are Night Elf and I have a Death Knight but no other character over 55. First of all, I've played other races, but I've always enjoyed Night Elves over all the other Alliance races. As far as the Death Knight, I have two Horde characters over level 60 (the highest only being 63) which because of recent patches allowed me to create my Death Knight on this server.

These are my toons on the Blade's Edge Server US. I don't get much time to play because of full time jobs (work and son), but when I do play I try and have as much fun as I possibly can. That is the whole point of the game, right? Until next time...
