Yup, I'm still alive but getting my butt kicked in real life a bit. I had no idea it had been over a month since I posted here & probably has been that long since I logged into WoW too. Like many on my Twitter feed, I downloaded Neverwinter to 'have a look' and I've got hooked.
I haven't ended my WoW subscription though & I'm putting out a call for ideas. Having fallen so far behind with gearing & following storyline through all these fast patch releases, I feel kind of useless in game. My confidence isn't the greatest in the first place & being undergeared & underperforming doesn't really help that.
I also want to keep going here - gold making stories, hints, tips etc as I find them but even that has become stale for me. So I thought maybe I need to have a change of scenery, a plan of attack & try to follow it through but I don't quite know what!
My server is listed as medium population but I think the Alliance is low population & my auction house activities are kind of slow. I was thinking about 2 options - start a new character on a new high population server & see how things go or to transfer a level 85 or higher with professions & some gold & go from there.
I'm not looking for a leveling project though & I have done the new character/new server thing before so I pretty much discounted that idea as soon as I had it but I'm also a bit broke right now so could probably only transfer 1 character with gold & professions.
I'd love other ideas to consider though - are there any that you can think of that would provide good gold making information too or maybe you'd like to challenge me to try out a theory you have?
Once I get home (yes, I'm traveling again!), I hope to fire up my WoW enthusiasm again & get back to more regular posting. Have a great weekend y'all

Check out some of my Squidoo lenses!
The Ironman Pet challenge? ;) That'd keep you busy!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, welcome back! Hope you find your mojo again soon ^^
Ironman Pet Challenge? That sounds almost as painful as the original Ironman stuff! lol
DeleteI hope I find my mojo too, I miss blogging but I really need the ideas to flow before I can write anything otherwise all you get is a long rambling post that doesn't go anywhere! lol
Welcome back! Hopefully with some entries for the June carnival topic, you'll have some good material to read about server transferring. I think I'll tweet a reminder about the topic. Jim also did a good post about researching before a transfer. Hope to see you back in full swing soon :) I miss reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteI saw your carnival tweet late last night & thought 'ooh that's gonna be helpful' lol I'll try & get my thoughts straight & do a post too of course :)
DeleteSimple Gearing Strategy
ReplyDelete1. Run all the LFR's
2. Buy 522 epics with VP.
3. Join the 4 world boss raids.
5. collect charms for bonus rolls
Heya Bigtruck! Thank you for your comment. My main is only just geared for the very first LFR & so far, I've managed to chicken out every time my guild mate suggests it! I really should make myself try & get geared though - it would at least give me more options at endgame although I already have too many things I can be doing! lol
DeleteYou can use RealmPop to confirm the population breakdown on your server, plus many other things ;-)

Thanks Raoul! I knew there was a population site, just can never remember what it's called! lol It will help me choose a new server for testing for sure!
DeleteSmall population server. Patternaholic. Had a friend coming back from a high pop server so I took a chance and rolled on a high pop server to see what I could gather up for her to bring back. It was a shocking change of scenery - an RP realm that often gets grouped with Moonguard (known for their worgen on worgen action). Its my first "real" alliance toons - avoid Goldshire on the weekend! However - no heirlooms, and starting from scratch on an RP realm was an interesting experience. Low level players with goblin experience have great chances to make money - you have the simple pet flip to get a small nest egg, then there are the transmog and other markets which behave entirely differently.
ReplyDeleteIt is a suggestion as a thought for something new.. levelling on those realms makes quite good money with low end goods.. and returning money to another realm is quite easy without server transfers if you want to consolidate ( either using a new char with the scroll of resurrection - as cheaply as a character transfer if you don't want to move you toons or heirlooms about; or via pets many times the vendor ones will sell for vendor prices at least = no cash lost).
Thanks Elpaco - trying out an RP realm is definitely not something I had considered. I'm an EU player though so I'll have to find out which RP EU server is the busiest if I decide to try that :)
DeleteI know this is an older post that I am commenting on, but I do hope all is well with you, family and anything that might need covering. :D
ReplyDeleteI heard that neverwinter is more addicting than WOW. Thats why I have stayed away.
stay frosty...
