Horde Alting

So, over the holiday weekend I decided to check up on Annarchy's horde side guild. It was started back in January by myself, and a member of Panda Attack (our counterpart horde guild on Dark Iron) as a place for the members of both guilds to hang out together, if they so choose.

It hasn't been super active, as members of both guilds usually focus most of their play time on their main characters, however we do have a few people who play there a lot. After our recent horde newbie event, interest has been sparked again, and a few people have started playing new horde alts.

I decided to join in the fun, rather than just check the bank and roster and logout like I have a tendency to do on most occasions. I rolled a new druid.

Now, as is clear from my character list here, I already have a druid. In fact, I already have just about every class. But druids are different. My druid is currently resto and geared for raid healing. This new horde druid? Totally Feral.



This is my new moo druid, also named Feathermyst, grinning for the camera. She reached level 20 last night, and can now turn into a kitty too. Adventuring through the horde content has been a fun and refreshing change of pace from the all to familiar alliance quests and leveling process. I don't know if this druid will reach the level cap, but for now she is a fun addition to my alt collection.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July to everyone who celebrates this holiday, and happy Friday to the rest :)

To celebrate the three-day weekend, Winter and I, plus our 5-year-old have turned to our wild side and rolled three horde side druids. Annarchy has a horde alt guild over on Sargeras called "Pink Pandas" that we share with our Dark Iron rivals, Panda Attack (horde). Since my alliance druid is resto, this one, of the same name (Feathermyst) shall be ferlol. I've already got my level 10 bear form and am quite happily bounding around the barrens mauling raptors and striders alike.

Winter says that since his alliance side druid is feral, he may go resto or balanced with this one, though he managed to name his differently from his first druid.

Overall our 4th of July weekend should be nice and relaxing with much fireworks and ice tea and mauling of creatures.

Annewbie Anntics Event

Yesterday my guild had a just for fun (or "Anntics") event. Our event crew rounded up as many guildies as we could find, and went on a field trip to the horde side.

We visited each horde newbie zone, rolling a new character for each one. Various games and activities were setup ahead of time, and even if they didn't all go according to plan, they were still tons of fun.

Bloodelf:

In the bloodelf zone, we were all emo, so we went and jumped off the tower, trying to see who could get closest to the center of a round platform, far below.
Next we had a race to see which team of 5 could collect the most [Smashed Petal] in five minutes. The winning team came up with 12. Pretty impressive for level one BElfs! After that, still in teams, we kited mana fishies "back home" to the lake. Tricky! And to top it off, we had a footrace down the scar, followed by packs of skellies and ghosts.

Tauren:

In the tauren zone, we all were told to pick names with "moo" in them, and then voted on the best name. "Barackobamoo" was our winner. That was followed by a quick game of hide and seek, with our Moo winner hiding, and everyone else seeking. Next up we ran over to Bloodhoof Village to the warrior's circle for a duel tournament. The winner of that event was "Mahmooshake." To finish off the zone, we all ran over to Thunderbluff and jumped off the Elder Rise.

Undead:

In the undead zone we had some crypt dancing, a race to see who could die the fastest, a corpse eating contest (first one to cannibalize wins!) and a team contest to collect a full set of armor. We then attacked the pumpkin patch in a massive undead assault, resulting in a pile of bodies scattered around the scarecrow.

Troll/Orc:

In the troll/orc zone we played piggy ball! Orcs vs. Trolls in a fun game of football, using the pigs as the "ball." We had to move that event out of the newbie zone though, since the level one pigs don't last very long with 25 newbies fighting over them. Level 7 piggies were the key...along with the removing of all weapons and armor. The winners, after a very close 5 point game were the Orcs.

To top off the night, we ran our trolls and orcs over to the island and zerged Zalazane.

Altogether the night was a huge success and I'm looking forward to whatever our crew can cook up for us next month!
