Unless you are living under a rock you should be fully aware that Arthas: Rise of The Lich King is supposed to hit shelves April 21st. In a sweet twist of fate and someone jumping the gun at Barnes and Noble I got my copy TODAY!!! Excuse me as I skip around my house in gleeful abandon.

Last week over on WoW Insider’s regular feature All the World’s a Stage, David Bowers brought up an interesting topic about the distinction between non roleplayers and roleplayers. Using his scale I’d be considered an RP agnostic. I have a strong sense of my characters but I don’t actual roleplay. I do reside on a roleplay server and I have created long and often elborate backstories in my mind for my characters. Given the chance I might role play but thing is I’m pretty scared to even try.

‘whew I’ve admitted it.

Yes I’m scared to actually role play. I have a fear that I might do it all wrong and come off looking so stupid. Instead I just mill about and sometimes have the great pleasure of catching people acting out a scene but I never taken part in it. Often times it feels like I might be intruding on someone. It’s kind of like walking down an isle in a grocery store and seeing a couple making out, you grab your bread as quick as you can and leave the isle hoping they don’t see you. Okay so it might not be like that exactly but you get my point.

So the question is how do people, such as myself, even get a start into roleplaying. What’s the equitte? How do you go about it all?

Yes I know I should be writing. I have a good start going and…erm… okay I’m not writing but I am doing something. I’ve finally dusted off Aly and starting to get her leveled up. She was looking so sad and lonely on my character selection screen. I figured it was time and while she is the middle sister I figure if she’s the one with the most power she should actually have some power. So finally late last night she hit 74. I don’t know about the rest of you but there is something about 71 to 73 that seem so painfully slow. I give props to people that have mulitple high level characters as well cause man that’s alot of work. I’ve been sitting at work during the slow times trying to figure out how am I going to even get Aly raid ready when she’s finally 80. It just seems so daunting, especially with all the changes coming with 3.1. ’sigh

Well until next time I leave you with these two pictures. There are no words….

I swear my guild leader is gonna kill me hehe…

I realized the other day that in order to do this story right I’m going to have work on my history. It’s all great that in my mind I have these ideas of how each of the sisters came to be who they are but without a history it really means nothing. Who are their parents? What was their childhood like? Where exactly are they from? Things like that are important. Even though they might only be mentioned in passing they still make up the character. What’s even more important is that they be believable. Cause let’s face it if I ran around saying that they were the long lost daughters of Slyvanas Windrunner who the heck is gonna read that.

So over the next few days I hope to spend some time finding information. The wiki is a great place to start. I’ll also try and see if I can find some other information that’s out there. I’ve gotten a pretty decent start I believe. I just want to make it better. Hopefully I’ll be able to write up some individual character profiles and share them with you all. (I say this as if anyone is actually reading lol). Anywhose wish me luck. I hope to be back in a few days with the fruits of my labor. Until then I leave you with one of my favorite screenshots.

Oh yeah and I’m in serious need of a new wordpress theme. ’sigh

Originally when I started this blog I had grand ideas. As you can see I haven’t posted anything, outside of the guest post, in about a year and a half. Back then I had stopped playing WoW. My guild had broken up, my friends left the game, I was a bit lost. After a few months we all found our way back, WoW has that addictive quailty, but still the blog sat lonely.

So now I’m going to try again. I’m not exactly sure what I’m going to do here. I’ve tried to have my main blog focus on everything and nothing and that hasn’t worked out to much. There is to much personal stuff mixed in amongst all the gaming stuff. This blog will focus on my WoW experiences of course but I’m not quite sure how much of that will be RPcentric or just random ramblings about the game. Plus alot has changed in regards to “the sisters”. I moved servers and left Nori behind. On my new server she became a hunter and a new sister was “found”. Ilianah, my new main a Blood Elf Death Knight. So there are things within the story that need to be changed a bit and I’ll be going back to fix a few things. Good thing this isn’t all lore or I’d be in trouble. LOL.

I’m not quite sure if anyone will read this or even how much I’ll update. I do know that I would like to finish this story. Or at least continue it. What I see in my head for the sisters and the storyline is awesome. It’s just a matter of putting it on the paper. So if you are here and you are interested stick around and hopefuly you’ll wind up enjoying your stay.
