(I sort of meant to post this a week ago. Or possibly two. Whoops.)
(Also I am unable to say anything briefly, sorry.)
(You could just skip to the bit at the end where I say "thanks", if you like.)
Some of you may remember an orc DK called Chaiah spending a lot of time online in the last few months. Most of that time was, of course, spent complaining about PUGs or threatening people with axes. (That is, using an axe to threaten people - whether the people being threatened had axes or not was largely irrelevant to the orc in question.)
Anyway, I finally server- and faction-transferred the character to my "home" server, partly because it meant entering a much friendlier endgame atmosphere - pugging as a Death Knight on AD was horrendously difficult - with access to a lot more resources, but also partly because I really found myself missing my guild and all the friends I have on that "home" server.
That is to say, SAN has been a really great experience and very rewarding for me personally but it was more like a holiday camp than a new home, and the liminal camp experience is sort of slowly ruined if it's held onto and prolonged. So though I still have a bank alt on AD in SAN I'm basically absent from guild chat now. As such I just wanted to say how much of a pleasure it's been playing with and chatting with (most of) you folks. I've added a lot of blogs to my regular reading list and have some great memories of conversations, roleplay and even raids with some fantastic members of the SAN/wowblog community. And I will miss the opportunities to chat with so many diverse and interesting personalities - bloggers and readers alike.
You know, perhaps one of the hardest parts of transferring my DK was the fact that she could no longer be an orc. I really enjoyed the RP facets of the character and the rich story opportunities provided by being on AD-horde. My first LARP experiences with SANers will not be quickly forgotten and, though the character no longer exists "in reality", her story continues to exist in chat logs and in my mind.
So yeah, thanks! And toodles. And think fondly of Chaiah next time you threaten somebody with an axe - she will certainly be thinking fondly of you. (And the axe. Well, mostly the axe.)
