I <3 My Alts



Recently, I'd become very disheartened with constantly playing my Priest. I really do like her a whole lot, and my Death Knight too...but both of them are about a year old now...and I've been very bored with doing the same dailies, the same raids, talking to the same people and quest givers. And we all know that the name of my blog is called 'Kill The Horde' and most people would assume that it would mean that I hate the Horde...right? WRONG. Oh how very wrong you are.


On the same server that I have all my Alliance toons, I also have three Hordies...a baby Rogue called Ambiance, a baby Warlock called Zynka and a mid-level Paladin called Melevelia. I love all three of them and it's my challenge to try and get my rogue levelled (since Pogue keeps saying how hard it's been for him to learn the class)...but right this moment, I'm very much in love with my Paladin. For me, it's like levelling Lysix all over again- but with healy capabilities. So I can run in, hack and slash...and when my health gets low I use either HL or LoH. Hehehehe, I rarely ever die and if I do..it's because I bit off more than I can chew and get my ass kicked. That happens occasionly with Lysix too. Melee toons are not my strong point, but I give it the old college try.


What's it like playing on the other side? Do I feel like a traitor? Um no not really, I really enjoy the freedom that comes with playing on a faction where barely anyone knows you. Since I've been playing Alliance on Cairne since the server opened, I know a good proportion of the server and a lot of them know me...so I don't get the chance to hide much. Playing Horde gives me that escapism, that anonymity. And I never liked Human Paladins anyway, as I said a couple of posts ago...I would rather gouge out my eyeballs with a rusty spoon than level in Elwynn Forest or Westfall....ugh. I really need to roll a toon to perform as my bank alt on the Horde side though, Mel is a miner and an enchanter, Zynka is a herbalist and an alchemist and Ambiance is a leatherworker and a skinner. So all those gathering professions mean that I've got to have a bank alt so I can sell the stuff I don't need, heh. And I have to start making some gold anyway, Paladin will be level 40 soon enough and I need gold to buy her mount training.

Amen to haveing alts on the other side. I dinged 80 on my DK last night, so my priest main will be on second burner for a while while I learn the wonders of tanking heroics. but there are just days I need my belf paladin.

Also, I think there's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone you taught become even better than you. It says a lot for how you helped that person succeed, whether it is in wow or another arena.
