This is a service announcement more than anything else – as I just don’t have time to write more.
The subject: Faction Changing – then Faction Changing *back* to where you started.
Just what happens?
First off – you’re out $30 – again.
Second – things look pretty much like they did before the change – only better.
I fully expected – nay – had *resigned* myself to having to grind my Crusader title back for the 3rd time. But upon “waking up” in Thunderbluff and taking a quick assessment of things…it was all there. My Crusader title – all of my previous achievements from the trial of the champions – all of it.
Whew.
I’d even broken the 1500 quest achievement thanks to the fact that it appears that when they faction changed me back – they simply rolled me back to where I was – and added in everything non faction specific I had completed while exploring the lands of Azeroth on the “pretty” side.
So wow – yeah. What a relief.
Why did I change back? Did I come to my senses and realize the Alliance were a bunch of noob-kids? Hardly. As usual – I found the folks I met to be pretty much just like the ones on the Horde side. The crew at Veritas are some of the best I’ve met in game and remind me a lot of the folks I know on Twisting Nether in the guild Forge. All good people – great players – regardless of faction.
No in this case – I have multiple jobs (civilian and military) – and one of them is getting ready to start taking up a bit more of my time. Nothing dramatic – no year long vacation to the sand or anything. Just busy. I let my guild leader know that I was probably not going to be about a great deal and that I was going to pull Rain’ out until things settled down. Being a former Infantry guy himself – he understood and sent me on my way with a dwarven blessing and a fine mug of seasonal ale.
Rain’ going back to the Horde side was simply an act of comfort. I’m comfortable there – I miss it – and with me in and out of the game I want my kids to be able to play on my account. What I don’t need is one of them doing something unintentionally bone headed and having the guild take the heat for it. Plus – Rain’ can give them money and heirloom items for their army of alts and my evil spawn prefer the horde for whatever it’s worth.
Anyway – back to the grindstone here – safe travels!
