Change is Coming
March 9th, 2010 | 
Author: A whole new world is on the horizon, what with the overhaul of Azeroth approaching. With this we will be given on opportunity to change redefine ourselves in our game play and game style. We’ll be able to create a new “main”, try out something new, switch servers, or maybe something else. ((I didn’t re-read this or edit it, because I have to leave to go to work in a second. I hope I don’t have any big embarrassing typos >_<))
Blog Azeroth’s shared topic this week (or maybe it was last weeks, I’m a little behind).
“It’s a new expansion, it’s a new game in many respects. How will it change YOUR game? Will you play a new class you’ve been dying to play for years? Will you play a new role you’ve never played like tanking or healing? Have you been a hardcore raider and would like to get more into the lore and questing or vice versa?”
As for me, I’ve been playing dps, and that was about it. Usually with my hunter I’m playing catch up, half heartedly, because I know deep down inside that I’ll never completely catch up.
Since the beginning of WorLK, I have changed my game play quite a bit. I have expanded to four servers. I’m up to about 30 alts. I’ve started to dabble in role playing, tanking, and …. blogging. I’ve been introduced to the community at large beyond my little guild (hence the reason I’m now on 4 different servers). I’ve chatted with you guys on twitter, google wave, google buzz, and maybe a little on facebook. You’ve kept me sane while I’m at work and my interest in the game has only risen.
With Cataclysm coming out within the next year I can only see my game expand and progress. I’ll probably continue to spread myself out too thin. It’s my nature. I was the guy in high school that everybody knew; I couldn’t bring myself to stay at one place for very long, just bounced around all over the place like Tiger.
I’m starting to already get my taste of tanking (you guys have a hard job by the way). My healer alts are still pretty low level at this point, but I’d really like to level my druid and priest (I want to get my priest leveled up partly so I can have a high level enchanter. At this point I’m always sending stuff to my brother – so much so that he got to the point where he game me his password and told me to disenchant it myself 
). I would like to get a more involved with my RP guild on Feathermoon. I’ve been enjoying the RP stories with Praxton, and I would like to have him interact more in-game with the Stormwind University folks. And I would like to actually be a somewhat viable raider. I’m still not so much at this point (partly because I spread myself pretty thin, that’s my own fault, I know.)
I’m excited also because we’ve been playing more and more with my brother and his wife. I think the expansion will just give us more to do on our weekly adventures. It’s been a great way for us to hang out without children running around causing chaos. We just play when our kids are sleep. Maybe in the far future we’ll be able to do things together in RL more often, but when you have lots of kids under the age of 5 like we do, you don’t get out much.
Anyway, how do you see Cataclysm changing your gaming style? Are you planning on switching you main, or do you want to focus on a different aspect of the game? What do you plan on doing?
Oh, and I plan on putting more pictures in my blog in cataclysm so its not so boring to look at >_<.

I am planning on spending time re learning how to play my hunter main. I am also planning on rolling a Worgen hunter and Goblin something or other just to try out the new races.
Like you I am spread rather thin aw well. I just rolled a hunter on a pvp server to get a taste of what that aspect of the game is like. My mid level alts on my main server are languishing. Part of the reason is that healing in a pug low level dungeon has sapped my desire to do any healing. The awfulness is just staggering.
I was thinking it might be fun to have rp events with people that read this blog. I know I would be willing to run yet another alt through the starting area to join in.
Oh and I just noticed that your main is on Deathwing which is where I rolled my baby horde hunter, so if you see me please be gentle!
@awesomemom You’re always welcome to come join us with RP stuff, I’ll admit, I’m not on Feathermoon very often, but that’s our server, the guild is Stormwind University. Or you could just do RP stuff with us on twitter/forums, that’s good fun too.
And I don’t usually gank low level characters, so you’re safe. Unless you are stealing my mine
Twitter? What is this twitter you speak of? just kidding! I know of twitter but don’t do it myself, I have a hard enough time finding time to blog that I choose not to add any more stuff like it into the mix. Maybe we could set up a time when we both could be on so that I would not face the awkwardness of joining a party where I know no one.
@awesomemom We are on Feathermoon US server, alliance side. You’re welcome to roll a character on there and I’ll get Arrens to send you a guild invite. Now, in-game roleplaying I’m still pretty new at. I’ve only done it twice, yup that’s right, twice. Most of the stuff I put up on here is from twitter or the forums. But you’re welcome to email me to set up a time: aoirselvar (at) gmail (dot) com. For more info on RPing, check out my RP section of my new blog roll, tab on top of the website.
