Earlier this week I paid the $25 to move Kelenya over from the Llane realm to the Earthen Ring realm to join the famed guild "alea iacta est".
During the change I was told that the name Kelenya was taken on that realm, so I was asked to rename her. Well, I figured it was high time to stop being the statistic of a dude playing a hot blood elf chick....and give her a character re-customization into a male. She was renamed "Suhli" and transformed into a male.
Very nice transition. With the two girls I already have in my life, I was finding that the love affair with the third was wearing thin anyways. :)
Joining alea iacta est has changed the face of World of Warcraft for me. It's gone from being in an intense situation where my absence caused consequences for other people and negative attitudes from self-proclaimed "good people" to arise to being in a more relaxed environment with a larger community that is OK with me playing the game at the pace I want to. (Which honestly is the essence behind a subscription...you should never feel forced to do anything beyond what you want to do...it's your money.)
Originally I intended to keep my other characters active on Llane, but quickly realized how annoying and unfriendly the people had become in comparison to AIE. Thus, I've elected to play Suhli, at my own comfortable pace, in the presence of other people who are aware that the internet is not SRSBZNS. (Whilst being able to allocate far more time to my family that I enjoy being around more and more.)
Suhli was recruited as an alternate into two raid teams.
"Insane Horde Posse" is a 10 man raiding team that appears to be taking a beginners dive into Icecrown Citadel. They look to have cleared the first wing. I'm excited that I can bring utility (being able to find traps) and experience (I'm 8/12 in ICC) to this team and look forward to continuing to enjoy raiding as a more "light-hearted" and fun event.
"That's What She Said" is a 25 man raiding team. I have a little less faith that I'll be selected out of the alternates for that one because they have several melee DPS...but should I be called on, I look forward to meeting 24 new people who also have the same idea about raiding as I do.
This was a great move...I have to say...coming home and eating dinner before being immediately involved in a raid multiple nights a week has been nothing short of WELCOMED.
More to come...
