Alts

I'm a firm believer that a guild officer should know about most aspects of the game, including every class, in order to connect well with her guildees. That said, I am also a hypocrite.

I set up groups for raids well enough. I know which healing classes are stacking mp5 and which need a shadowpriest, which casters get the elemental shaman and which get the BM hunter, and so on, but the details about each class? Eh, there are plenty of other officers that have a ton of alts to take care of that.

I never rolled another character pre-BC. I've always been very satisfied with my Hunter - I knew what I was doing, I could do it quickly, and the results were good. The Burning Crusade was released, and I relived the joy of leveling again. But that idea of a new race and a new class was just too tempting, so I joined the bandwagon and rolled a Blood Elf Paladin, Bubbleoeight.


The original intent was to level along side with my fiance when he rolled a BE Rogue, but that fell through, so I leveled her just out of interest for the Palidan class. I managed to get her to level 41 when I decided that melee really wasn't my style, and what I really wanted to experience was a Tauren Mage.

Well, Tauren Mages don't exsist, so I settled for the next best: Tauren Boomkin!

If I had to assign back stories to my characters, Ranrele would be the little sister of Negathle (when I rolled her, and asked for the ginvite, my friend said "Can you ever have an easy-to-pronounce name??). Whereas Negathle is the lone, adventuring type, Ranrele is a bright, bubbly member of the family. She's currently 38, but I enjoy leveling her enough that she'll eventually make it to 80.

I'll never switch mains, Neg is simply too close to my heart to ever make her second fiddle, but I enjoy the Druid class and lore enough to make Ranrele an acceptable alt. Come Wrath, I am 90% positive that I will never roll a Death Knight. That 10% uncertainty accounts for the mild interest I have in the starting zone and the Rune System, though I have about as much interest in their energy system as I do a rogues (WTF is a Combo Point, anyway??).
