Faction Identity Crisis: Why the Alliance Still Feels Like Home

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I have been playing on the Horde for the last few weeks, even before I posted the last post below, but I guess I will always be an Alliance player. I miss so much of the Alliance designs in the buildings, and the areas I love to hang out in are Alliance only, so I feel out of place when I’m in them with a Tauren.

I guess there’s a reason why I have been playing Alliance for so long. I used to flip-flop back and forth from hard to Alliance back in the day when I first started, but I think it’s because I never knew where my true home was within the game. After playing the game for so many years, I have finally figured out that I am the happiest and the most comfortable with the Alliance, and that’s OK. So, I will be sticking with Alliance and fact-changing my Hunter back to Alliance.

However, I didn’t just waste money and time; I’m going to change my race that my Hunter was. It was a Night Elf for the longest time, and I’m thinking of switching him to be a Worgen. 

For the past few months, I’ve been playing a Blood Elf Paladin and I don’t feel like I want to have him transferred over to the Alliance. I do have a human paladin that I’ve been playing since Cataclysm and I want to level him and get his gear up as well. He has the most progress in terms of professions and playtime that I have for a Paladin.

Now I don’t know what I’m going to do since my one-button macros have changed to Blizzard’s version. I haven’t played enough to see if Delves, which is the place though that I was doing to gear everything, is still viable. I will have to research that and play test the character for a while to figure that out.

Well Needed Change…

It’s that time again. Switching sides to the Horde for once. I always have the itch to go play the other side of the game. There have been times where I played a whole expansion with one of the sides, but it’s been about close to 9 years of playing on the Alliance without going over to the Horde. I feel it’s time for some change. I just need to pick a character, but I want to change up my class as well.

Do I want to be a Paladin again? Well, that is a short and long answer. I love the class fantasy, and I love to tank in some dungeons. I don’t know how hard the new content will be. I haven’t had the time in the game to try any of the new dungeons or even Mythic level. I used to play a Paladin in Cataclysm, that was super fun, and I wouldn’t mind trying that again. I haven’t done any raids in a while. Maybe BFA was the last time. That being said, the raids that I have done are ones in the LFR setting.

I’ve been a casual player for a long time, and I would like to just be able to do some raids once in a while. The game for me now-a-days is somewhere I like to go when I want to unwind from a long day and have some fun before ultimately falling asleep at some point.

Reading back my old posts

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I just wanted to give a little update on my night. Tonight, I was reading some of my old posts that I wrote when I first started this blog, and it’s bringing back so many memories that I have had locked away. I would never have unlocked them if I hadn’t been reading them.

I’m finding that ever since I started this blog more than 10 years ago, there was a goal. The goal to record and share my experiences in the game and anything around gaming that I was doing. This has not changed. I grew up into a world that has changed. The internet can be a dangerous place, and I have been wanting to share more about my journey, but I want to keep safe, so this has been hard to start back up and do this thing again. This has been the best blog I have made on the internet, and I want to keep it going. I would love to have more people check it out and maybe share what they have experienced in gaming. I would love to hear about it.

I want to just let everyone know that I’m trying and I will keep going on this blog. I will be updating on the lore master soon. I hope to start levelling and getting some lore master done this weekend. (Feb 3, 2024)

Having Gaming Everyone!

Happy New Year 2024!

Well it’s that time of year again. I hope to make it a really good year for content on my blog as I have been lacking for a few years. This seems to be the longest running blog that I have had for years. It’s something I have been proud of and it’s my corner of the internet.

That being said I want to get it going again, as I’m casually playing video games and I would like to blog more going forward. I don’t just play World of Warcraft and I want to have a place that I can use to share my thoughts with the open internet in a safe manner.

I have a lot of ideas for what I want this site to be in the future but for now I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and I will be back in 2024!

Turning 10 Years Old. Congratz The Creative Craft

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

As of today, this blog turns 10 years old. I can’t believe I have been writing on and off for the past 10 years. I know that this blog has not been the most up-to-date piece of the internet I have, but I like to call it home for my thoughts about World of Warcraft and any gaming I do in general. I would like to take this time to thank everyone that is still around and reading. I would love to keep this blog going for another 10 years. I just hope that it will be more active than what I have been doing so far. To the next 10 years!

Been Streamin’

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

So I have been streaming over at twitch.tv/themythicaloak and I have been having a lot of fun lately. This is something new that I have been into for a little bit. I have been pumping up my production as of late. I still don’t have a face cam but I will in the future. As for right now I have been just getting used to streaming for a long time at a time. I’m used to taking a lot of breaks when gaming. It’s something that I have been doing to help with the mental part of gaming all weekend. without having issues.

There is a point where I need to take breaks but I need to keep going on stream that seems like the hardest part of gaming when streaming. People don’t tell you that part when they tell you all about streaming.

Anyways I have been wanting to keep going and I just wanted to update everyone on things that are happening over at thecreativecraft.

The New Site Layout

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I have been trying to figure out a new way to lay the blog up for a while. I wanted to keep it the same as what I had it back in the day but It’s time to change it. This new layout is a simple clean and to the point out my newest blog post.

This will be a better layout I think and I hope it will be better for the reader as well. Thanks for everyone’s interest.

Are Blogs still a thing?

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

For a while I have been away from this blog but I have been finding myself coming back to it form time to time. I want to keep using it but I don’t know what to use it for. I still play wow but I find I don’t have the amount of time to blog about it anymore.

There is a part of me that still wants this part of the internet as my home. Somewhere to write without having to worry about any social media. It has been online since 2013. That is a long time as it’s 2022 now. I do like the fact I have a blog from that long ago. I doubt many people still read here for the time being. It’s been pretty dead for a long time, I can see if there’s no one that will want to be here but I would like to change that as some point. Since going to college and working after I finished school, I haven’t had the time to do anything like this again. I keep saying that I will do something with this blog but it always fall short of doing anything. I’m sorry for that.

Anyways I will look into what I want to do. I may have some time that I will spend on this site. It will need some good amount of work to get it up and running. When I find the things I want to write about. Thanks for the people that come back and read this. I hope everyone is doing well.

Will I ever come back?

TheCreativeCraftLeave a comment

I have been wondering if I should come back to the blog. Do I have a lot of things to talk about World of Warcraft anymore? Well it’s been 10 years this April past that I celebrated with an all-nighter playing it like I used to back in high school on weekends. Then there is. Will anyone see this? its been so inactive for so long that I don’t know if I have people that want to read what I have to say anymore?

I’ve had some ideas of keeping the old content but changing the blog focus to more of what I enjoy at the age of 24 instead of what got me through my high school days. Maybe do some Photography blog posts or an everyday kinda post. I don’t know yet but I will have to figure out what I want to do for this blog. I find myself always coming back to it for some reason. it might be the pride i have for it. All my hard work. of making sure a blog post went out on time.

All I need to do is find my path in life…
