Me + Belf = Happy

Shocked?

Almost all of my Hordies are Belfs: My DK, my pally, my lock, my rogue(hatehatehate), my hunter.
Not Belf: Orc hunter, Cow druid, Undead Mage, troll priest(placeholder for goblin), undead warrrior.

It's ridiculous. People hate Belfs (especially the male ones that I favour), because they're very feminine. Why do I play male Belfs? Because my females are spammed with ERP requests/demands  =/
Why do I play Belfs? Because of one main reason.

I.
Hate.
The.
Barrens.

Seriously, it's a desert zone that mind-numbingly stretches in every direction, and no matter where you are, you need to be on the other side of the zone. Plus, Chuck Norris and Yo Mama feature often in Barrens chat. And Mankirk's Wife.  /leave general   /e sighs in relief.

I found a Demotivational Poster once about that. It had a Barrens loading screen and said:
BARRENS CHAT
Because Chuck Norris IS that cool, and your mom IS that easy.

I confess, I literally lol'd and sent links though guild chat. We all lol'd. It featured as my desktop for a while.

Anyway, I love Belfs because....no Barrens! Sure, they have the Ghostlands, but it's better. Much better. Same for the Undead, but Silverpine Forest.

But I don't mind Belfs, to be honest. My hair is almost as long as my DKs, and is a similar colour. (OMG, PLEASE don't Armory me after saying that....) =/  Anyway......Belfs are the 'pretty' ones of the Horde. Saying that, my DK and pally are seriously OP and will cry when they're nerfed come Cata. Who else can solo a 3-man quest from Outlands all the way to Northrend? *ego goes here*

But seriously, the Barrens aren't so bad on WrA. Because we're an RP realm, Barrens Chat is fairly tame compared to others. Like...a slightly less intense Trade Chat....

Oh well, we can't win 'em all.

Later days.

Wednesday Wind-Up

I'm going to try to start something that (hopefully) will continue for as long as this blog is up.

Each Wednesday, I plan to post the Weekly Wind-up, meaning that I'm going to share my opinion on a controversial WoW-related subject, and I'm hoping that at least one person will share their opinion, agree with me, disagree with me, or shed a different light on the issue.

This week?

Should Trade Chat be used ONLY for trading/buying/selling?

As opposed to the remake of Barrens Chat that it currently is. =/

I believe that it is good for advertising things, such as buying/selling/trading, guilds (even though they have their own channel), raids (again, their own channel).

It should NOT be about your mother, Chuck Norris, [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker], [Krol Blade], or what you got up to last night.

People shouldn't be making sexual, racist, sexist, or offensive remarks on such a public channel. If you want to let everyone know that the Alliance is going down, so sign up for a [For The Horde!] raid on SW, that's fine. But if you're saying that women/black people/etc are inferior and can suck your @#$%, that's crossing the line.

But that's just my opinion. Looking forward to hearing yours.
Until then,
Later days.
