Welcome to my brand-spanking-new blog "PeE vEe PeE". I've started this blog simply as a place to record my PvP thoughts and experiences in the World of Warcraft.
I've been playing WoW since release and have been what some might call an alt-o-holic. For those of you that are old enough to remember the Sweet Pickles childrens books, I would best describe myself as "Me Too Iguana" which was a character in the book that wanted to be like everyone else. He wanted a trunk like Mr. Elephant, teeth like Mr. Aligator...well, you get the point. I suffer from the same problem as Me Too Iguana. I see other classes and find myself wanting cloak of shadows, death coil, ice block, POM pyroblast, shadow step, intercept, etc.
I started my WoW life as female night elf rogue on Bleeding Hollow (PvP) with a group of guys I used to play Planetside with. By level 42, I started getting a little tired of the gankfest that was occuring everytime I tried to quest/grind out in the Hinterlands. When some friends that I worked with told me they were starting characters on a PvE server, I decided I would give it a chance...and I LOVED IT.
I created a little gnome rogue named Sabotage on Garona (PvE) and leveled his knee-high butt to 60 in no time...well truth be told, it took forever because of my alt-mania, but compared to leveling on the pvp server, it felt like no time at all. Our little guild had 15ish people in it and they were running instances like BRD, LBRS, UBRS, Stratholme, Scholomance and Dire Maul. I occasionally joined them in LBRS and UBRS, but shortly got struck with the bug to roll another character, so I rolled my night elf hunter Longbow.
I non-stop leveled Longbow like a fiend and he was 54 in no time. By this time, many of my friends from work had either stopped playing WoW completely, or had curbed their addiction to one or two nights a week. Queue times had taken over Garona and we were waiting 15 mintues just to log in each night.
So, I get a call from an old friend from back home who said that he, his brother, and several other people I knew in RL, were starting horde characters on Wildhammer (PvP). Having got a little bored of being the only person I knew online on Garona...I figured why not. So I rolled Badmojo my troll shaman (enchancement) and quickly leveled him to 60. With TBC coming soon, I focused all my efforts on PvP and jumped in head first. I absolutely LOVED pvp and spent every waking moment in Alterac Valley. I even managed to hit Legionnaire (rank 8) under the old honor system which to be honest was a measure of time spent in the battlegrounds.
So, the Burning Crusade comes out and I start leveling Badmojo again. Despite being on a PvP server, people were so busy leveling that we left each other alone to level to 70 in peace for the most part. I hit 64 with Badmojo and started getting that itch to play something different. I leveled a rogue to 49 twice...I liked the name Ginsu, but wanted to change from orc to undead. Leveled my hunter Ballistic to 28 and my druid Buckwild to 49.
By this time all my friends were 70 and were running all the 5 man instances in Outlands...we were a small guild :) Feeling a little left out, I put my altism on hold and made a valiant push to 70 with Badmojo and I began healing for our groups...21 pts resto for the win :) Unfortunately, shortly after hitting 70 with Badmojo, most of my friends had stopped playing WoW or had dwindled to one or two nights a week. /sigh
It had gotten to the point that I would only see one person online once or twice a week. So when a RL friend from Garona (PvE) called me up and told me that there were free transfers off Garona to Baelgun (PvE) and that he and a bunch of friends from his new work were all transfering there, I hopped on the bandwagon and moved Longbow and my other alliance characters from Garona to Baelgun.
With a renewed spirit, I quickly leveled Longbow and hit 70 just a few weeks after 2.3 was released...just in time for my welfare epics :)
