WoW Update - 10 Jun 2008, New Server Love

I bit the bullet last Wednesday and paid for a one-way server transfer for Froufrou to Bloodhoof. I spent Sunday and Monday on Bleeding Hollow saying my goodbyes; Isorla gave me the keys to the Guild bank and let me rob it of all the primals I needed for my Primal Intent leatherworking set.

Right now Avierra's got around three weeks left on Bleeding Hollow before her account lapses (yes, Avi and Frou are on different WoW accounts). I respecced her to Protection, which allowed me access to a Karazhan run as off-tank and a couple of Heroics. I've since decided not to log into BH any more, at least not on Avi; there's no point, really, since I'm about to let the account lapse. Avi is sitting on around 20 Badges of Justice.

So.

Froufrou found herself in a new server on Wednesday night. As I was going to be in Bohol on Thursday till Saturday, my first real day on Bloodhoof would be on Sunday. Fortunately for me, I woke up fairly early on Sunday morning and logged in just as my officemate Pepper texted me to get on for a Karazhan run.

I was thrown a Guild invite to Guardians of Veeshan and found myself in a Karazhan raid in fairly short order. It was a pretty good group, and we failed only in bringing down Netherspite (no time) and Nightbane (a coordination issue rather than one of capability, as we were able to down Prince). I was pleasantly surprised to find myself quite high on the DPS list. I walked out of Karazhan with a replacement for my Ring of the Shadow Deeps - Ring of a Thousand Marks, which dropped from Prince after our fourth attempt to kill him.

In the evening of the run I found myself with my officemate (Malago, a Warrior tank) in Heroic Auchenal Crypts, the daily heroic. And the next day we also completed the daily heroic, Heroic Mana Tombs. So Froufrou now finds herself with 43 Badges of Justice - not even halfway to her Blade of Serration, but it's a very good start.

So right now Froufrou's gotten her hands on The Night Watchman, which she's using until she can farm the mats for a Cobrascale Hood (already have the pattern). Other than that, she's mostly purpled out, which is wonderful. I'm happy to be raiding again and to be contributing to something - and to be honest, I'm really enjoying my time so far in Guardians of Veeshan. The players are mature and friendly, and even if nothing comes of the raids it's good to be part of an active community.

Looks like I've found a home on Bloodhoof.
