My Alts you ask? Yes, I have them!

Hello, My name is Cabriella and I am an altaholic!

I have way more alts than my friends. Probably more than anyone in the game, but hopefully not. I love to play the younger characters. They level so fast and I am addicted to the leveling process. Sometimes I just like to play alone. Not often, but sometimes. No offense to anyone, even my friends. Most of the time I like playing with my friends.

Nazgrel was my starting realm.

I made alts on Vek'nilash for my Cafemom group to play with those ladies.

Zangarmarsh was our guild horde experiment that has been put on hold.

Kirin Tor is a realm of a friend of my hubby and I play there as much as I can but not often enough!

The other realms, well I have no idea. Just made an alt and need to get back to them and will eventually.

Right now, I am leveling my mage alt on Nazgrel. I have leveled most of my alts on this realm to at least 20. I plan to level them all then start leveling the rest of my alts on the other realms.

Where Are You Now In The Game?

Since Cabriella hit level 70 I have found out quite a few things about my playing WOW. I do not play Cab very often. I only play her when:

* A guildie needs a run through of a dungeon or some help.
* A guildie needs an enchant.
* Our guild decides to run an old instance.
* I decide to run an old instance alone to collect some possible gear for one of my alts. and normally I find someone hanging out around an instance and they need help, I offer to run them through. NO CHARGE! and they get to collect all the loot. I do not mind helping and it makes me feel good about myself. I would feel badly to say ok, I ran you through you owe me!


I have not done any of the quests she has left in Outlands for the gold.

I have not ran any of the new instances nor have I done many of the old ones.
When Cab stopped getting XP, I pretty much stopped playing her. I have alot of quests left in Outlands for her to do when the expansion comes out and she can level again.

I have not done any of the dailies except maybe a few of the cooking/fishing ones for the recipes for her.

I have found that I like getting the xp. I did the Frostsaber mount rep grind, but there ya go, it was a reputation gain and almost like getting xp. I am not in the game for fabulous armor. Neither do I need alot of gold, nor do I want alot of gold. If I need gold on an alt, Cab can go grind for it, but mostly with all my alts I send all items and collected things to my bank alt and she sells them and she takes care of the money for the whole group.

I am not that competitive that I have to have great armor. I did do a few battlegrounds and got a few pieces for her, but that got old.

I AM a casual player. I know some folks say they are casual and maybe that means different things to different folks. But to me, casual means I play when I want to play, which alt I want to play and do what I want.

Stopping in the middle of what you are doing for a few minutes and it not being a problem is casual to me. In a dungeon, there is no stopping, you have to move on for the sake of the group and finish without dying if possible. I personally don't like dungeons. I can and will do them but I don't really like them. The ones my level 70 can blow through alone are fun to do but when I have to have a group I get a little antsy. My guild is great in groups, but we are hardly ever on at the same time and it is hard to get groups for a run in anything. I am not complaining just stating a fact. I love my guild and my guildies. They are a great bunch of people. I have managed to pass my altitus along to three more of them and they are leveling along with us. We are all about the same level right now, but my friend and I are gaining on them since they are on less often than we are.

I do not play alone. I have a good friend that plays with me every night. We quest together and have for a long time. His play style is very similar to mine. We are currently leveling our mage alts.

Playing a new character, learning its ins and outs, gaining levels, doing quests in a different area than before, is all like a whole new game. I guess after I have done it all, then I will have to find something new in the game to do. But, I have a long way to go to get to that point.

And that my friends is where I am in the game at this particular point!

A Prayer

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;

Love to forgive him;

And Patience for his moods.

Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength,

I'll beat him to death.



AMEN

Isn't She Lovely...




This is my daughter Kelly. She is 19 almost 20. She has Cerebral Palsy and is totally disabled. This is her first prom! She was so excited. And she just looked so beautiful I had to post it here. I am so proud. She is the light of my life. Kelly can't talk and walks very clumsily. She is totally dependent on someone else to take care of her. She is like a two year old. She is a full time job but she is so worth it!

I Love You Kelly!

Running of the Bulls

Of course I participated and had a blast! I even convinced my guild mates to attend. My best friend and guild leader and his son attended. It was an awesome turnout and much fun. The guild filled to capacity and then some. There was dancing and a conga line. There were baby cows galore! People (like me) were there 4 hours prior to the race. I had created Mooina days before and logged on to see who may be about. To my surprise there were around 10-15 others already on! Of course I stayed and got into contact by vent, with my guild mates. Two showed up and we proceeded to dance, play some simon says, participate in spelling out BRK, just hanging out waiting for the race to begin.

BRK showed up, so did Ratshag (no finer orc can be found anywhere!). Hecatuul handed out shirts to those of us early enough to get one! Thanks to him for the hard work!

Finally the race begins, the lag gets us at the first hill and the baby tauren pile up. We move on up through the barrens, my guild mate dies in Camp Taurajo and tries to catch back up but can't, in Orgrimmar (I just missed the first zeppelin and had to wait for the second one), past Undercity through Silverpine following the path of dead bodies and skeletons. The mage at Dalaran got me and I died but rezzed and carried on. Through to Arathi and a raptor got me the next time. Rez and on toward Hammerfall. As I am almost to Hammerfall, I see everyone headed back! I don't know where they are going but I turn around and fall in! I find out we are headed to Iron Forge! I make it all the way to the front gates and beyond to the Military Ward before I die again. I rez and go a few feet and die again. They are headed to the tram. I get almost to the tunnel and there is a massive pile of bodies there. Rezzing and running back with as many ghosts as there were live tauren was a hoot! Making it through the portal to the tram only to find 5 or more allies there waiting to kill you was a sight to see. Bodies everywhere. I find then I am in the graveyard at the Eastvale Logging Company. I made it to Goldshire before I had to log off for supper.

Thanks to BRK and Ratshag for the great event!

My condolences to Sharvan's family. May God be with you and comfort you in your time of sorrow. I was happy and honored to take part in such a special event.

Of course, Moooo for Sharvan!

:) Pictures later!

Too Much Happens In Real Life...

... really sometimes real life just takes over and you feel like things are spiraling out of control. But hopefully now things are back to normal and play time can be had!

As for the guild experiment... it has been temporarily put on hold. We leveled to 17 or so and need to find time to get back to it.

Three of the original members of the horde anti pug group (myself included) have made three undead rogues. It has been a blast playing these characters while we wait for the original anti puggers to come back to play. My undead rogue is level 7 and named Darklass. She jumps like a frog and that eating thing they do after you kill someting is just discusting! Gotta love it!

I have been leveling an alliance rogue on my normal server. This is my first male character and I made him and named him after my hubby. Hubby's name is Cabe my new character is named Caybe. He is totally fun to play.

I have way too many alts and I am trying to level up all that I can before the next expansion comes out. Only because I don't want to have to level up sooo many levels later on each one.

Well, that is it for now. I hope to add more later and keep up to date on this blogging thing.

Horde Hunter Pet

Well my friend made it to level 10 on his hunter alt on the horde side. He got his hunter pet quest done and was ready to tame his pet. He had already made up his mind. "I want a ravager!", he said. "Well ok then, let's go get you one". So off we go, two nearly level 11 hordies off to get a ravager from Bloodmyst Isle. We head out north of the crossroads. So far so good. Then out of the barrens, through the guards that my alliance characters have to skirt through the fence to avoid. On up towards Ashenvale. Hmmm, a horde camp ... wait no ruuun! It isn't horde it's those danged 'ol devil looking guys. Sheesh, we made it ok by that one. Oh there is the horde camp. Anyway onward to Ashenvale, wait someone just shot your pet with an arrow, you better just run. So we sacrifice the temporary pet chosen to tag along with us. We run like the wind and no one but piggy dies. We stop and rez the piggy and I heal it and off we go. Up to the edge of Ashenvale. So far, so good. Nothing too bad has happened. We take a detour toward Zoram strand because as an ally I remember seeing what I think is a flight path there. So we pick that up and head back to the road. Down through the woods onward to Darkshore. Now this part will be tricky. We have to sneak up to Darkshore by way of shoreline, swim out to the dock and get on the boat. We take our swim and get to the end of the dock. We have to die and rez on the boat just as it is leaving. "I have never commited suicide before! This is too funny!", I told my friend. We laugh on the corpse run back to our bodies and as the boat is leaving we rez. We jump off the boat before it docks at Azuremyst and swim towards the mountain and around behind Exodar. We swim all the way around the mountain and get to the bridge and head on over past Silverpine (I think its called) and find the ravagers. He tames his pet and then we hearth. All in nights good fun! "We did it!" A fine, proud moment in our beginning horde history!
