After a bunch of months in which I've ignored WoW Classic to finish up the basic story stuff in modern WoW (the current expansion in a nutshell: a worrisome start, some promise, and an ending full of abandoned plot threads and a final-boss-defeat cutscene that was laughable awful), I've decided to poke my nose back into it and rerolled Haz, my tauren druid, into a night elf one and start over.

I'm not abandoning modern WoW; while BFA has been a heap of disappointments overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about the next expansion, and I really enjoy playing my female Kirin Tor 'cause she's a big beefy lady who can use shadow magic to flay an enemy's mind open and also knock 'em wide with a big ol' roundhouse PUNCH. I named her Mazard and attached the "title" surname Jenkins to her. She rides a giant white rat. It's awesome.

(Thanks to The Minted Lady btw for helping me get that Jenkins title way back in the day. And thanks to Blizz for making that title account-wide.)

Anyway, sometimes one wants a bowl of the sugariest brightly-color cereal and sometimes one wants some old-fashioned but still tasty Cheerios.

Mmm, Cheerios.

I really don't have any goals for Haz other than bum around and do quests, mess around with leatherworking and other professions. No rush to get to 60. Unlike Mazard, who I want to get to 120 and prepped for going to the Shadowlands next expansion, along with one Horde alt, probably a Vulpera. One main Alliance character and one main Horde character is the basic goal; I could use the characters I have now, but I kinda wanted a fresh start on a new server, and a fresh start in general.

Which is also the reason for me restarting Haz on Classic, come to think of it.

(For those what wanna look me up, Haz is on Bloodsail Buccaneers; Mazard is on Emerald Dream.)

Classes started back up this week; it's gonna be a heck of a busy semester, I suspect. Even so, I've been able to work in some Skyrim time. It's become my go-to game. I did re-up my WoW account earlier this week, but despite still kinda liking the game, there's no real spark there, and my best guess is that after this month runs out, I'll be done at least until the next expansion. (I made an orc monk, an old grizzled fellow named Gongall on the Garona server (marked 'New Players' so lots of folks levelling and stuff) and I do enjoy him. Maybe he'll be my next Elder Scrolls character!)

I also tried out some Guild Wars 2 this morning, since I got an invite from them to play free this weekend. It's very pretty and runs nicely on the Octopus (my laptop). I'm not sure how much I like the focused storytelling, though; GW2 forces my character to have a specific personality and voice, and I don't like that. I also wonder how repetitive it'd be to create an alt of the same race (I'm such a fiend for alts); WoW's straight-line, themepark questing style that started in Cataclysm is pretty mind-numbing on the second or third (fourth, fifth, umpteenth) playthrough.

But nevermind that. How's that thar Skyrim, Haz? )
