For The Horde!

Who's that handsome chap? Meet Zuff, he is my latest project, my new mage. I created him for the purpose of levelling him and being able to blog about my experiences while doing so.

When I came to World of Warcraft I joined the Alliance on a PvP server because that was where a few people I know in real life were playing, however since I started they have all stopped playing. From playing Warcraft II and III I knew about the various races in game and I always preferred the Horde races. My favourite race is Taurens, followed by Orcs then Gnomes and Dwarfs. I don't care much for Human, Night Elf, Undead or Belf characters. I decided to roll a male Troll mage on EU-Hellfire a non PvP server. I picked a simple looking bald and tusked Troll, that I thought was going to be a dark greenish colour from the character creation screen. However when I got into the game he turned out bright blue! I didn't realise this till at least level 5, at which point I didn't feel like starting again, so he is blue... very blue.

This will allow me to get a very different experience from when I levelled my Gnome. I'll get to see the Horde side of the game and not have to worry about being ganked. I can get ganked whenever I want on Kor'gall so I don't think I'll miss playing on a PvP server at all. I levelled my first mage to 70 with most of my talent points spent in the fire tree, but I plan on broadening my view of mages by levelling frost and possibly experimenting with arcane/fire or arcane/frost builds while I level.

I chose a Troll because I prefer them to Blood Elves and Undead, even though many people believe the Undead have superior racials, I look forward to trying out the Berserking Troll racial. Which I imagine to be similar to the Icy Veins talent I have recently been enjoying on my gnome.

I have so far levelled him to 10 and will be posting about my experience doing so shortly.
