As much as I've been enjoying TERA I haven't made up my mind if I'm going to stick with it and subscribe after my 30 free days. I'm coming up on the 6 month mark of my break from World of Warcraft and at the 6 month mark I always get the urge to go back. I'm guessing Mists of Pandaria will come out by the end of September. Before the expansion there should be a world event with the destruction of Theramore which starts the all out war between the 2 factions. I definitely want to be back playing WoW by the time this event happens.
I am able to put in a LOT of hours of game time each week but it's while I work and I get interrupted a lot. This makes it hard for me to group unless I have a tight schedule where I know a couple days a week for a set couple of hours I'm raiding or grouping. I can schedule work stuff around that. But doing more than one raid or dungeon a day is pretty much out for me. I'm primarily a soloer. I love leveling characters and working on crafting and achievements.
MoP seems like it will have a lot for the casual player to do, so as a soloer I'm looking very forward to it. There will be pet battles and tons of new daily quests (possible lifting of the daily quest cap), a train your own mount task, and farming which seems like it will be similar to Free Realms farming.
I really want to go back to WoW and have fun again so I'm willing to start over from scratch. Over the years I've server transferred multiple characters (PvP server> a different PvP server> PvE server), faction transferred them all once (Horde>Alliance), and race changed at least 3 of them (pretty much made every one of my characters Worgen). I've landed on the Alexstrasza PvE server on the Alliance side. I've been here for a couple years with a couple breaks of several months to play other games like Rift for 5 months and my most recent break of 6 months for EQ2 and TERA. I was in a small guild with real life friends who no longer play. We merged our small guild with another small guild of real life friends and all were happy. Unfortunately 99% of the guild hasn't logged in since December. All the other people I knew on my server have done the same.
So here is my "proposal"... I'm placing a sort of looking for guild ad but even more than that it's sort of a personals ad. It will sound cheesy saying "Looking for friends to play WoW with" but that's exactly what I'm doing. I've decided rather then logging on my old server with the same old people and trying to make friends in game I would rather try to make friends out of game and I will go to them. I am willing to start over on a new server. I have no preference of faction or server type though I would probably prefer a PvE server since I'm fail at PvP but I did play on a PvP server for the first year and 1/2 of my wow "career" so I can probably deal with that again.
If you are a current active WoW player who will definitely be playing up to and during MoP and would like to be my new WoW BFF please let me know. Initially I'd make a new character on your server to make sure that all is good but then closer to MoP I would be willing to server and/or faction transfer some of my characters over to the server. If you are able to play a lot and are in a casual guild those are definitely bonuses. I think starting from scratch might give me that little jump start I need to love the game again. Please contact me by leaving a comment here or by messaging me on Twitter @Girlygamersite. Thanks!
I came across your your site while playing Tera beta. I have not played wow in years. I have thought of going back. I Live in Arizona I work M-F 8-5 if interested reply @jaymanbrews
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply. I haven't found a place to call home yet and am waiting until I find a server/guild/person that I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with because I'll want to have them scroll of resurrect my account so I can have a free server/faction transfer for one of my characters. I have multiple WoW accounts that I don't play so I can have one of them rez'd so I can make an alt and try out their server/guild and then after a bit if I decide to stick with them have them rez my main account. Do you know when you'll be going back? Would you be on your current server or don't mind moving servers like me? I found a guild on horde side Kilrogg PvE server that sounds awesome and I emailed them so hopefully I hear back from them. They are a social non progression guild.
ReplyDeleteNormally I come back to play the Expansion packs. Too see the new changes. Cataclysm I rolled a paladin from 1-78 to see everything from scratch. Real Life often catches up , due to work and my Home brewers club. I have a level 70 and 80 Druid , 60 warlock , 78 paladin , a other Alts I can't remember. Every time I got back I have to relearn the game.
ReplyDeleteAhh. Well I'll let you know where I end up and when you come back you can think about joining me. :)
ReplyDeleteI decided to join Death Note Society on Fizzcrank, Alliance side. All are welcome to join me over there. Also anyone who wants to direct message me their battle.net on Twitter @girlygamersite I'd be happy to add them and maybe we could do some cross server grouping or just to chat. :)
