Oceanic servers? What?

Let me start off by saying, I hate this night, realm shutdown night. Like, really really hate it. Mostly due to the fact that the realms go offline at around 8pm my time. I figured while I should be studying, I'd take the time to write up something else.

People ask me very often why I didn't originally play on an oceanic server, this is the story of how I ended up here instead. My friend who got me into this game, plays on Agrammar, and I attempted to put a character on that realm but they were not allowing new characters to be created on full servers. I hit the button to recommend a server, and that's what came up. Alexstrasza.

My plans were to play on this server until they opened up this other server to allow me to create a char on there. Sadly this didn't happen until I was level 18, which at the time was a big deal to me, so I stayed. This was my first character ever, my priest. Shortly after hitting 60, I became aware of oceanic servers and looked at leveling a new character on one of those servers. However after talking to friends that had played on oceanic servers, they said they were no different. Alot of the people on those realms were still American looking for lower population servers, and because the servers were located in the same place, I would have the same latency (at the time I was on dial up. Average ms of 1200.). This made me decide I would stay where I was.

Server transfers became available and the first thing I did was looked at transferring, but now I also had the excuse of having friends on the realm along with the old reasons. I've now decided that I probably wont ever go anywhere, I love our server no matter what crap it throws out.

So off of that topic, I finally got Bb to 490 defense, 510 in fact. I still have a fair amount of health, which can still be improved by enchants and several gear enchants. I'm really hoping that I might get a shot at kara this week, assuming my schedule allows. My exams are almost over, I have one useless one and an English exam which is a little more important. Once this is over, I'll have a few days before I have to go back to school again. Hopefully this will be my window of opportunity. If not, it could be a few weeks sadly.

That's all for me tonight, maybe I'll go study for my Religous Education, maybe I'll go watch some porn. Who knows. Whatever it is, wish me luck.
