Last month I announced my plans to start a character that I would go out of my way to level slowly. Ok, maybe not go out of my way, but I am taking steps and applying a few rules that'll ensure I take the time to smell the roses.
Today I found the random character sequence generator, generated 3 characters, logged into WoW and found the first U.S. server that isn't PvP that follows the string alphabetically. I ended up on Dalaran.
I chose a Hunter. Why? Basically I just love leveling Hunters. Dwarf was my racial choice as sort of a hat tip to Jim Younkin of Power Word Gold - I believe his main is a Dwarf Hunter as well. In the little bit I've played Alliance characters its also the race I've had the least exposure to.
Another cool thing is that when WoW was launched part of that trailer video featured a Dwarf Hunter. Anyone remember that? That basically sold me on WoW.
I have digressed.
Anyway, Glenliv lives. He's level 1 and has a lot of exploring to do.
One of my goals is to learn something new about the game every time I play this guy. I'll try to do something I've never done before. For example, as soon as I logged in with the new character I went inside and "talked" to all the citizens wondering around. The talk of the town is that Troggs are on the attack and everyone is still shook up from the recent earthquake.
Yeah yeah, I was vaguely aware that story lines would center around the Cataclysm. But I honestly don't think I've ever, in the years of playing this game, ever went around talking to NPC's just to see what they had to say.
I took a little time to soak up some of the artwork that went into this zone. I walked around and examined things.
Not being in a hurry feels good. So does enjoying what's been created for me in this game.
