I know that I promised that the “Gear Guide” posts would be forthcoming, and they are, but in the meanwhile, an actual update/post from The Cow…

I mentioned previously, that I’d been playing an Alliance character on my server, but I didn’t elaborate much on that, or why I’ve been so hellbent Horde for so long. When I first started playing, it was as a clueless Alliance, and my first 70 (yes, I started during BC) was a Draenei Shaman. When she stopped being fun though (perhaps because I didn’t understand the class, perhaps because of the expectations on me from my then-guild), I started leveling up a Horde.

That became my first Horde 70, the occasionally mentioned Hunter, Malanior. Mal was the first character I raided on, and would be my first 80 as well. The next 80, as this blog documented, was Grim, and he has been followed by Azok, Anarial (only 77, but she’s merely a mule), Annisa, and the most recent, Eikal, the former Draenei Shaman.

When my guild fell apart, my former raid leader encouraged me to roll up Rathorian so I could raid on his side. And for the past few weeks or so, I’ve been leveling him like gangbusters, and finally reached Northrend the other day. I suspect he’ll be 80 by this time next week, and if that’s the case, he’ll probably take over as “active raider”, a role that Grim used to hold. That’s not to say I want to shove Grim to the backburner, but until I have the financial means to swap factions with him, that’s how it’ll hafta be.

So what does that mean for the future of this blog? Good question. I’m not sure I can justify writing about a character I’m not actively playing (beyond the promised gear posts, that is) … but I’ll leave that up to you, readers.

Should I stay or should I go?
