The End of Akesha

[Akesha]

I've been giving this quite a bit of thought over the last couple of days. It's years ago now that I created a little female orc rogue with the sole purpose of checking out the new rp-pvp server. I never intended her to found a guild or become the Matriarch of the Tribe, but I'm so glad that I did. However, there are a few things I have realised;

- Coming back to WoW for these last few days, has felt like coming home. Whatever the future of MMO's brings (and I still intend to try out SWTOR) I'm pretty sure that this time I'm back to stay. If that means that I'll end up playing two MMO's at once, then that is good too.

- Kozgugore is a great leader for the guild and is doing a far better job than I ever did.

- It would be fun to experience the Redblades as an ordinary member and also fun to play a new character. I played Akesha for a very long time and although it is great to be back in the game, I'm really not sure how to continue her story or develop her character any further.

- I really can't be arsed to roll a new character and level up to the WotLK content from scratch. I've only played a fraction of the WotLK content so far, but everything else, I have done before.

So, I've decided to say goodbye to Akesha permanently and go for a character recustomisation. I haven't decided yet how to do this IC, but I won't go ahead until I have.

One thing I would like to do, now that I'm back, is further develop the pre-horde background of the old Clan Red Blade. With this in mind, I am seriously thinking about turning Akesha into Azubal, a minor character that has always been a part of her background as the only other known survivor of her old clan. I am hoping that I will be able to rejoin the guild IC as Azubal and so begin afresh with new stories and new character development. My hope is that I can develop the backstory of the guild more, without stepping all over the IC stuff that is going on right now.

I'd be interested to hear what people think of this idea.

Regards,

Akesha

I think it's always nice to see people coming back and feeling at home, especially the very person who created this guild and gave so many people the chance to have so much fun.

In the past, I've always thought that it can become a bit hard to constantly return to your "old" characters, so if it feels like it's time for a fresh start, I say go for it.

As for some history for the tribe, I think it has always been appreciated. The stories we've had circulating through the tribe have always enriched the RP, and I see no reason why having Azubal around wouldn't make it even more nice.

Whatever you do, welcome back.

I reckon it can be hard to try and get back into your character after all she's seen, so it's quite understandable if you're thinking of remaking her. Although you can switch back after two months or so if you don't really like it (albeit for a fee, afaik), it -is- something you'll have to be certain of, of course.

Then again, I always found Azubal to be quite the interesting character as well, especially if you're thinking of trying to expand the lore a little again, which I always adored. Heck, it's still being told around camp fires in-game today!

It'll be nice to see you back either way! Just make sure you go with the option that you think will give you most fun. In the end, nothing else matters.

GREAT
Music to my ears.
Told you before it is in your blood.
Your a mean green Orc no matter how much you try to hide.

Reunion Photo anyone?

Welcome back, all the same Akesha.

I'm happy to fight you for the title of slowest leveler though.
