I main Alliance in World of Warcraft, mostly because I love the Night Elf aesthetics, and Teldrassil is just gorgeous. Naturally – that is what my main is too, a Night Elf Fury Warrior. She is my new main; I killed off my old one – a Night Elf Outlaw Rouge – so I could use the name for the new one: Sága. Because why not? It’s my name after all.

I’m also very proud of her, being that I only recently created her, and got her up to lvl 60 within a week of playing. For a World of Warcraft-n00b like myself, that is actually quite the accomplishment. If you want to track her progress, you can do so here: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/eu/turalyon/sága

So, anyway – I main Alliance – and I really, really like it. So much so, that I am currently attempting to build myself a guild: The Geeky Saga. I’m still in the process of gathering signatures for the Guild Charter, though – so if you play Alliance, and would like to join a no-pressure, no-set raid/dungeon schedule, no fuss guild – let me know.

Also, I made a community in WoW with the same name, The Geeky Saga. Feel free to join. I do, however, reserve all rights to yeet yo ass out of it if you’re being a lil’ shit. Same goes for the Guild once that is up and running. I am Guild Master – I reserve all rights to protect my Guild and the people in it. If you can’t behave, you’re gone.

I have played a fair amount of Horde, too. Mostly because I wanted to know what all the fuss was about; ever since the OG WoW game launched in 2004, Horde seems to have been favored by most – if not all – of the people I know who play(ed). And all of these Horde-mainers would tell me to play Horde, ’cause Horde was the shit and all the cool kids were playing that faction.

I much prefer Alliance, personally, and it in part has to do with my own interactions in-game with other players. I may blog about that at some point, but for now I just hope it was a one-time occurrence, and not representative of Horde as such. Let’s just say it was …not nice.

So yes – track my Night Elf’s progress on the link provided above, search for my community The Geeky Saga in-game if you want to join, and do let me know if you’re interested in signing the charter for the Guild too. The Guild would be absolutely no pressure; it’s intended to be a place where people can meet up and squad up at their own leisure to do whatever they want to do in-game. Wanna do a specific Dungeon? Cool – ask your guild mates if anyone wants to squad up. Wanna do a certain Raid? Cool – ask your guild mates if anyone wants to squad up. That’s the idea, anyway…

This game has very quickly become my favorite time-waster. It’s a game I’m finally reasonably good at (by my own standards), and I LIKE playing it – a lot. I feel a weird sense of accomplishment playing it, and it does what I hoped it would: Distracts me from the chronic pain and other medical bullshit I live with.

And yes – I will be getting the new expansion when it launches later this year. I’m excited to see what it’ll be like, from what I’ve seen so far – it looks amazing.
