My new Pandaren Death Knight, Loxidiana
So, it has been so many years since I last played World of Warcraft, and even then, I only ever had Alliance characters. I couldn’t access my old account and recover my old chars, so I started again. Of course, I made an Human Warrior, as Alliance, and went about trying to remember how to play the game!
Little did I know beforehand that the entire game had changed, way beyond my understanding. There were many versions of the game on Battlenet, and I had no idea which one I was supposed to be playing. I just clicked on the main game and went for it.
As my main game at the time was EVE Online, I only logged in about once a week, but noticed I was levelling way faster than I ever remembered. In fact, I’m sure I recall it taking several long days (or more) to get from level 69 to 70 on my old Night Elf Rogue. Yes, another change… if you play the non-classics, it is now designed to be less about the grind, and more about the story, I suppose!
Anyway, I digress. As EVE Online has taken a bit of a back seat for a while, I have started to focus more on WoW and get involved. I joined a wonderful, active guild: The Dungeon Raiders (Alliance) and have been joining their runs and stuffz. Then, as I noticed I was unable to join them on the Horde side, I decided now was the time to jump in and play on the dark side. Now, I have my first Horde character and have joined the sister guild to The Raiders, The Dungeon Seekers (Horde).
The Journey… (Updated as I go!)
Where the heck do I go from here?
When I restarted my WoW campaign, I discovered that the game is way less linear than I remember it too. I am constantly moving from one area to another without even realising I’m doing it. Instead of completing one area and then being directed to the next… and therefore moving steadily through the game, I’ve been moving/teleported all over Azeroth! At least in a guild you can get more help and direction.
Anyway, I’m going to stick with my Horde char for a bit and see whether I can get used to the other side of the world and it’s darkness! I’ll update the gallery above as I level and hear her up.
