Damn, another two months since last post

Is this becoming a trend or what? Any who, its nearly xmas, where has time and this year gone? The arrival of my first grandchild is getting ever so close 12/31/07 is the due date. Why do I suddenly feel old after writing that.

My last post I commented about rolling an undead Rogue, well he got deleted, I have since rolled an undead shadow priest (20) and a Troll Mage. I like the Trolls, they seem to take a ton of damage, even in cloth. The priest leveled pretty quickly, considering he's a squishy too. These horde characters are starting to grow on me.

Last week I took my priest to Tarren Mill to turn in some quests. I made it from Silverpine forest without getting hammered by Alliance. I hung around TM for a few minutes, and started walking back when I realized that TM has an FP, I turned around to make my way back, when I encounted 5 alliance hunters. I was toast in a matter of seconds. 1v5, horrible odds. As I corpses walked back now there are 10 alliance. I guess Alliance are just as bad as Horde when it comes to camping and ganking.

I had to wait 10 minutes before they finally left. I ressed, put up my shield and ran as quickly as possible back to TM, when I got jumped again. A lvl 20 priest has no chance against a ?? warrior or rogue, I threw out SW:P and MB, but was two shotted before dying. For the next few minutes I watch as these two asshats danced and jumped around my corpse. Almost makes me embarrassed to be associated with the Alliance on my other server, but Horde did the same to me then.

Playing both factions has given me some insight to how people on each side play. I think most know that Horde are far more organized and work well together in groups than Alliance does. I found this to be true on both servers. I have run a few instances with the priest and the players in the group never criticized anyone for their play style. I got some pointers from a few players, but none where in a demeaning way. I thought I did pretty well, healing everyone, and no one has died with me healing, yet. :) I have also found that Horde dont duel as much as Alliance does, maybe its the server I play on, but I havent been pinged to duel by anyone. Its nice, as server I play my allie toons on, its a constant that becomes very annoying.

Hey hey hey! Welcome back and congratulations on the grandchild to be! I suspect you'll be all over the moon when that little one joins the world.

Anyway, I totally see what you are saying about Horde and Alliance. I'm leveling a Horde Warlock again and no dueling, just Battlegrounds and PvP. And the asshats do really sit on both sides of the fence. You'll find that both factions see the same behavior. There are bad apples in every basket and all of that type of commentary.

There is so much to say, but my brain functions so little today. I need a glorious black syrup. Or. Strong, black and sweet coffee. 'scuse me.

*rambles off*

Thank you thank you. Actually my daughter is having a daughter, I forgot to mention that...DOH! No names as of yet, and Dad will be home from Army medic training tomorrow, so he will be there for the blessed event. I will wait about a week or so, so mom and dad can have time together, he's been gone since August, and let the rest of the ex-inlaws have their time with the munchkin. Then I will make my grand enterance.....hehehe

Hiya Gormat!

Congratulations so much on the grandchild to come! Children are always the most blessed event there is. And remember, it's your right, NAY, your DUTY, to spoil them rotten just to turn them back over to their parents again.

And yes, I always giggle a bit when I read the posts saying that "Oh, [insert opposite faction here] are sooo cruel, the only thing they do is running around ganking us!".

Ah well, a very merry christmas to you and your family and good luck on the happy day!

I wasnt complaining so much as finding that Alliance as just as bad as Horde when it comes camping, griefing etc.

I know I know...I'm an old fart, and my daughter told me that she will have her Kid(s) call me pappy instead of grandpa or granddad, she says thats what she called my ex's dad. Pappy....that should be saved for when Im ancient, not the young and spry 46 that I am. I guess it cant any worse than being called Pops, or gramps or some other term of endearment. I still find it hard to believe that Im going to be a grandfather. Gaaaaaah!
