Darn you, Hellfire Peninsula!

So the guild was supposed to raid the Exodar today, but I am bad at planning and thus we ended up very short on manpower. I switched to Ahami to work on leveling her instead, but I'm barely into 62 and sick of Hellfire Peninsula and v-e-r-y-s-l-o-w-k-i-l-l-i-n-g but too stubborn to respec elemental for a few levels. I am almost free — just have a handful of quests left before I can head to Zangarmarsh, and I figure I can run Ramps or Blood Furnace a couple more times before I go to hit 63.

But I really didn't feel like that tonight. Nor did I feel like running AB or grinding rep — I think I've hit a "What's the point? It's all gonna be worthless in a month anyway" slump.

So I am putting that off for today — back to the grind tomorrow, maybe — and instead I rolled a mage named Lalahon. On a PVE server (Feathermoon). Alliance-side. I give her to level 12 before I delete, but hey, you can't say I never try new things, right? (Actually, if I can hold out to Arcane Explosion, I think I might be able to stick with her at least to my usual Alliance quit-point of 30.)

It is kind of fun to be on a totally new server without higher level characters to send me money and gear and stuff, though, I have to say.

EDIT: So I went from 1-14 in one fell swoop, with the help of a nice level 30 warrior who let me tag stuff and then killed it dead for me for about two levels in the middle. I figured if I didn't, I would stall out at 10. I forgot how much I love the draenei questline, though — that'll help get me to at least the 20s, I bet.

I think it'll be kind of fun to play around with other classes and see the Alliance side of things — which is part of the reason I picked a PVE server this time around. Maybe if it's easier, I will be able to actually get past 30. (And honestly, PVPing as Alliance feels horribly wrong anyway.) It's not like I have any long-term goals, and if I ever do hit end-game and change my mind, I can always transfer to a PVP server.

Plus a lot of cool bloggers are on Feathermoon, so I figure that it must have something going for it. So far people seem nice.

I really feel like I'm cheating on VeCo, though. I even made a troll mage and gave up before I got out of the Valley of Trials because it just wasn't as fun, and then felt horribly guilty.

I'll do what I can, but I like to do things the slow and stupid way. :-D
