I’ve Played 50 Hours On A PvE Server Because I’m An Idiot
I decided to roll a toon on Era servers since I got a little burnt out in TBC, and the talks of “what’ll happen to the servers and characters after WotLK” kinda got to me, so I wanted to have a character on a server that doesn’t change and isn’t going anywhere.
Wasn’t sure whether or not to run PvP or PvE, so I made the same character on both servers. PvE has fewer players, but I assumed a PvP server that has existed for 7 years had a ganking issue. I eventually say “fuck it, ganking is temporary” and play on Whitemane.
Except I didn’t. I was so confident in the fact I was on the PvP server, I never checked the right side of the screen whenever I was logging in for the last 50 in game hours. The fact everything was so populated made me assume I was in the correct server, and since I’m new seeing other servers like “Pagle” next to other people’s names meant Jack shit to me.
I didn’t realize my mistake until I finally saw a Horde player in the wild and their health bar was blue. I never saw shit like that in Nightslayer, so after a quick Google I realized my mistake, logged out, and saw Mankrik staring back at me like I was stupid - probably because I *am.*
I could always reroll and recoup my progress in Whitemane, but I love my guild. Also I’m back at my job since the summer is over, so fuck that noise. I didn’t realize how much more chill the game is when you’re not constantly looking over your shoulder. I don’t have to worry about rogues in STVietnam. Sure I won’t get to terrorize Hillsbrad Foothills in another 100 hours or so, but that’s okay.
