Getting a little out of hand

Most of the time I'm almost completely OK with my altoholism. As you can see, I have four level 80s and a stable full of other characters (that I actually play) spanning 2 servers, with even more characters I don't really play (either because I used to play them or I made them temporarily during a server outage) on 4 servers. Sure, my current four level 80s are all blood elves, but I also have a variety of other tastes; just not really in the horde. I won't like; for horde, I prefer the pretty blood elves, though I do have every race except orc; they're just not 80 yet.

But with Love is in the Air starting this Sunday, I start to think that I might have a little bit of a problem. Since Brewfest, where I worked very hard to get Cornellian the mounts and Apiaceae and Rolf some gear, there has been a family tradition where we take all our characters of an appropriately high level and do a huge mega-run of whatever holiday boss is currently showing, until we get to the point where everyone has what they want- which usually doesn't occur, especially when there are mounts involved. And since MMO-Champion posted a datamined model for what amounts to a love rocket mount, and with a new achievement listed in-game, one can be assured there's going to be a boss farm going down during the event.

On top of this, Cornelladin (Nella), Rolf, and Apiaceae all need to get the Lovefool title. And of course the Lunar Festival happens during this time.. and.. it's a lot of work.

You'll probably hear more from me (and my alts, who won't seem to shut up) about this later- it's certainly going to be a lot of work.

I'm Salty, Baby

Rolf Greetings, my fine friends. No, please, don't touch my hair. I know it looks terribly silky and that you just want to feel, but please, I don't want your grease all over it. Now, I should introduce myself. I'm Rolf. Salty Rolf, more precisely (yes, I'm aware that this sounds like puke at times, but you need to get past that and just treat it like anything else). No, I didn't misspell "ROFL" and I am insulted that you'd even imply that. I have a rich heritage and I'm named after my great grandfather, so just leave it.

I'm known as Salty because I am truly a great fisherman. However, this often makes people jealous. When I am merely looking for a brief jaunt in one of the treasure-filled dungeons of Northrend, I often run into people who want to cause me trouble. I mean, I'm a great hunter, a great fisherman.. I'm world-renowned. I can't blame them for being jealous, but that's no reason to be mean to me when I'm merely trying to murder and pillage! Oh, right, and save the Horde from the Lich King. You know, that important stuff.

It doesn't help that lately I've got this nagging cough. I don't know where it came from, though I suppose that I've been spending enough time around those rotting undead that it could be anything. Oh well, no matter, I'm sure it's nothing. I'll stop by the apothecary on my next visit to Dalaran and see if they have anything that might help me.

Those other toons don't work hard enough

Cornellian I'm Cornellian, and before you call me a bitch just keep in mind that I'm her favorite. Those others- they don't put in half the work I do. They don't even put in a quarter of the work I do. Did they spend over a year going into that hellhole of a troll city called Zul'Gurub, searching high and low for the elusive Zulian Tiger? No. They didn't. Did they spend every spare moment wandering around that frozen wasteland that is Northend, searching for schools of fish, attempting to catch the rare giant sea turtle? Didn't think so. Psh. They're amateurs. I mean, not to brag, but I managed to tame a freaking VIOLET PROTO-DRAKE. Shouldn't that mean something?

Well, you probably didn't come here to hear me complain about how I don't get any appreciation these days, but I suppose I should introduce myself more fully. As I said before, I'm Cornellian. I'm a mage, and I suppose I might be a little paranoid that you'd think I'm a bitch because people think I'm so icy. Just because I have a natural talent for the sub-zero side of the magic arts does NOT mean that I'm cold! In fact I'm very passionate about my art and my achievements. You'd probably say I have a bit of a type A personality, but it's not that bad really. I don't overdo it. I have goals, and I achieve them, but I don't overexert myself just for the sake of showing off. And I only go for what I really want. And that's what I'm going to write about: getting what you want from Azeroth. I swear I'm not trying to show off. I don't accomplish these goals for you. I accomplish them for me.

World of Warcraft breeds Alts

Hi, my name is Bronwyn. I play World of Warcraft, and I'm an altoholic.

Though I'm an altoholic, I do, in fact, have a main. But I also have 2 servers worth of filled character slots, and plans for more characters on the way. It's just how I roll.

I hope you'll enjoy reading about my toons.
