WoW: Playing On the Other Side
So when I'm not raiding with Steadfast, I've been playing around on Wyrmrest Accord, Alliance side with a Draenei Paladin. It's been a bit of fun and I've even made use of some roleplay add-ons and given her a little bit of a story (WrA is an RP server). I'd been worried my interest in WoW was seriously waning, but honestly, taking a little break from Horde-side action and away from the guild has helped me. Last night I hung out in Steadfast and ran through a couple of instances with returning and new members who needed some VP and possible drops from Hour of Twilight instances, and I truly believe I felt like doing that because I've been able to re-experience the game in a different way.
Of course, Aridhana is only level 20, and though I am running her in Protection and might dabble a bit in some dungeon finder action as a tank, Folami will remain my main and I will continue to raid with Steadfast (assuming there are no drama llama explosions). I am keeping an eye out for an RP guild on WrA, though I'm not hunting seriously. Nothing super involved, but I do hope to find some casual roleplay guild, or at least a couple of people interested in laid-back roleplay. And hopefully there's a group who won't hold it against me that I make my main home Horde side on another server. ;)
This isn't to say I won't RP with Steadfast. I just need a break from Folami and Horde lore. Also, most times when I log on Folami, my focus is on running instances and talking about raid stuff, and when I'm thinking about DPS and going over boss fight mechanics, I tend to lose sight of the character. Plus, real life has presented me with some ugly choices and (I think) I can handle raiding with Folami, but I can't do both raiding and roleplay with her. If regular rp nights were to resume, I would be in Steadfast four or five days per week, and all I'd get to play is Folami (unless I found time to come up with a new character who I would then feel compelled to level up, and then I might not feel like running Folami through dungeons to get much-needed gold and VP, and then the stress starts to pile up...yes, I am the sort of person to put that sort of pressure on myself). I need breaks during the week. I need time to either play on another server or visit CoH to punch all the things in the face.
So, that's where I'm at for the moment. It might change at some point.
