When Mouse and Ith told me they were quitting WoW last weekend a lot of what I had been debating for the couple weeks leading up to it resolved itself. No need to worry about not getting to raid with my best RL friends, no need to stay on the server that wasn't progressing fast enough. Frankly, I would normally not ever have considered changing servers. But when the boys were raiding with Mimic and I was with them, I met a very nice gentleman and so, 9 months later when he transfers servers, I decide to go with. I didn't know much more than what I'd been told: more progression, better server, PVP.
Maybe it's not the "right" reason to transfer servers...for a guy, but I am pretty impressed with what I've gotten out of it so far. The achievements above are a testament to Kil'Jaeden compared to Silvermoon. I'm pretty happy so far with the decision to change. Additionally, the real ID feature makes it more than convenient to keep in touch with my other friends.
There's a definite excitement to a new server, particularly when you're going with someone new. There's this fresh air of romance and flirtation with the added bonus of this entirely new server where you don't know anyone. The world is yours. Everything exists for your pleasure.
It has a lot to do with how I'm feeling outside of the game, too. With this internship at an advertising agency, I'm getting this hunger for more. I'm an art director. A designer. This job makes me want it even more and want success. I feel like the world is opening up to me and I want to just take it. Leave behind the old, dreary common areas. Like where I grew up and Silvermoon and the boys, for this fresh place where the people are more successful and desirable.
Interesting how life and WoW run parallel to each other.
