It’s been several weeks (again) since I’ve made a post of significant substance that related to WoW and/or Death Knights. And while I’d love to be able to say that’s because I was too busy raiding, or beefing up the roster of my guild….no, not so much.

I’m not going to get into what happened with the guild here, but we’ll suffice it to say that my expectations apparently didn’t match the reality of the situation.

Raiding wise, Grim has been invited to Coliseum twice…once in a 10 man group with the guild of a former guildmate….the other, in a 25 man group with the former guild. And yes, if that sounds awkward, it was more so than you could possibly imagine. Beyond that apparently that everything I learned in 10 didn’t apply in 25, the vast majority of the group had nothing to say to me. Guild leaders, raid leaders…yeah. Nada. So I did my thing, quietly, rolled when I was told I could roll, and hightailed it out of there when it finished.

Since then, I’ve been trying to level characters. I had the thought in my head to level up a warlock, using the heirloom gear I had from my bagmaker (the mage), and getting him up high enough that I could have a flask mastery (can’t remember off hand if that’s elixir or potions, but no matter) toon. My Resto Shaman is a transmute mastery alchemist, which is useful with my AHing. But…I got to the early 20s and started getting both bored and frustrated. I don’t particularly enjoy playing squishies, and even with a tank pet, I found myself dying far too often for my liking.

So…I have a dirty little secret.

Grim, the stalwart Hordey, prone to random twitters of Lok’tar Ogar …

… rolled up an Alliance druid.

Yes. I really did. It was mostly because of friends I have on that side (and, quite frankly, I can’t afford to transfer Grim or any other toons over)…but I’ve found myself having fun. Except when I was PVPing tonight, but that’s another story for another time.

I intend to play Grim again, to raid again, to not neglect him…but I don’t know how that’s going to work out, how it’s going to come to pass. It may not be until I have the financial means to “move him”…and I’m still not even certain that’s something I want to do.

I guess time will tell.

But…in the meanwhile. I am around, even if I’m not on the cow.

It’s been a month or so since I’ve posted last, with the promise of change in the air, a promise of more information on my guild decision.

I did indeed make that decision … and that decision was to form a guild with several friends. Vindicated is the name, and eventually, we will be raiding on our own. Right now, we’ve been teaming up with Heddamazra’s guild, godlike. We’ve taken Onyxia down several times in 10 man mode, and have Ulduar on the schedule.

The main issue we have at this point is a limited pool of people on TS. As a smaller server (and an RP one to boot), it’s just difficult to find good, mature, like minded people.

But we won’t give up. And in the end, that’ll make it all the more worthwhile.

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote last, and unless you’ve been following the comments in the previous post, you may not be aware that I left my former guild. Since that time, I’ve been floating around as a “free agent”, running heroics with various guilds and trying them out. Periodically I’ve pulled in Risk and others, but by and large, it’s been me doing that testing.

Coming very soon though, there’ll be no more testing. Decisions have been made, and very soon, there’ll be a new guild being discussed in this space.

Stay tuned.
