First impressions of Feathermoon

Holy crap, people are so freaking nice here. I'm back again today — I had so much fun yesterday and really wanted to try out Arcane Explosion.

I think I am on an official VeCo vacation. Every so often I will roll a toon (usually Horde, but sometimes Alliance) on another server and play around for several levels or so as a break from my main. That's how I got Tshaya in the first place, and, in fact, why I started playing Ideale again when she was just level 10 and Laughing Skull was my main server. Bad timing with Ahami 8 levels from 70 and the expansion about to hit, but whatever.

Usually, though, the server drives me away. I hate Laughing Skull (I think I mentioned this, right?) and Ravenholdt was okay but just not VeCo. People weren't as nice, jokes weren't as funny, ganking replaced actual world PVP. Ravenholdt is close but no cigar.

But Feathermoon, so far (and I've been playing here two days, so I could be totally off) is really different, but still super nice. I hung out in the Exodar last night for a bit after I hit 14, and people in Trade were civil and friendly. I've gotten a ton of help from people already, and I don't even know anyone here! While I miss the sense of danger (I'm standing on the road right now, not worried about someone ganking me at all), if this is what the server is like all the time, this might become my permanent vacation realm. Plus it's different enough from VeCo (and maging is different enough from my usual stuff) that it could be fun.

I do feel a bit guilty, though. Ideale still needs a lot of work, as does Ahami, and I really feel like I should be learning more about the ins and outs of my main two classes before I go moonlighting as something else. But ... well, 70 levels of hunter and 62 levels of shaman (plus leveling baby hunters and shamans on VeCo and Ravenholdt, and a baby to-be-resto shaman on Laughing Skull to play with my friends there — there were promises of instance runs and power leveling after they've established themselves at 80, those jerks) and I just need a break with something totally different for a little bit.

And this seems like a really nice place for that.

P.S. If Synthi the hunter reads this, thank you so much for the robes. And if I had remembered I could do it now, I'd have buffed you and given you some food and water. /shame

EDIT: Apparently VeCo has been down all morning. Whew, less guilt!

Second impression of Feathermoon: I'm a bit disturbed by some of the guilds I'm seeing. RP-PVP servers don't seem to have guilds named after Anne Rice's BDSM books, for example — I thought lesbian vampire RP was a Moon Guard problem specifically, but maybe it's tainted all of the RP-PVE servers? Like the Anal [Spell] thing in the Trade channel of every PVP server I've been on?
