Babyskully ---> Deadskully

It's done.
55 bucks later, I now have a permanent 90 Alliance toon.
My strong dislike for Alliance dimmed after I started to get into reading WoW books. When you have to read about a character and their back story you can't help but get attached. With Alliance stories, it made me see them in a different light. No longer were they the "enemy" in my eyes. I wanted to play races that I just read about, I wanted to go through faction specific quests, and explore Alliance cities I just read about. As I read the Shattering at the part where Magni gets turned into diamond and they explain where it takes place. I get on my Alliance toon and go straight to where the book said he was... and sure enough if it wasn't for the book, I wouldn't have known about it. Well until I decided to lvl a new toon down that way, or go back and do low lvl quests that possibly explain more of the lore.  I got goose bumps as I ran down the tunnel. It was a neato feeling.

I started off playing this game from Jace who played Horde at the time and naturally I followed. Got to know all the Horde characters, races, etc. and vowed to be loyal to Horde as long as I played this game. I don't want to make excuses for myself... so I WON'T! haha. BUT seriously, I don't see it as turning my back on the Horde. I will always be loyal to them, and Hyjal will always be my home server. I see it as me just growing, and expanding in what I want to explore in the game. Horde and Alliance both have some of the same quests, but a lot of them are different, and of course, do not come from the same NPCs. So a lot of it was new for me. I found myself getting lost trying to find where the Alliance camps were, and even forgetting I was not Horde and flying into the wrong camps.
Alright, now lets get into what I did today. The first pic is the last screenie I took of Babyskully and Arix as Horde. I knew I wanted to make my new Alliance toon 's name to be Deadskully, and I knew I wanted to ONLY make her a Human. The name is precisely made for an Undead IMO. But I was determined to keep the Deadskully name.

I gathered all the gear that I could to just duplicate Deadskully's mog. This is my mog... I would officially trademark it if could. I need three things. to complete this out. 2 are easy, but that Scythe, I have to wait till the Mid Summer's Festival and hope Ahune drops it. If I don't have a staff then I will rock 2 wands once again, err if I can duo wield wands. I think I had a problem with that earlier.

Anywhos. so yeah, After I did the transfer, I was thinking of Arix, so I immediately summoned for him. Babyskully has had him since switching from Destro, and I got used to his name so I was thankful that I got to bring him along.
I didn't know where to start. I have my 87 Pally here as well but it was totally different leveling an Alli toon vs just popping a maxed level toon right in the mix of things. Weird to say, because it's not like I insta 90'd a different class or anything. But it being Alliance and and places are different.

My first Alliance friend I made was Dalani. Pirateskully needed a guild and got an invite and I liked it so much Deadskully is now in there. Dalani is the kind of person that will tell you Hi everytime you log on, and help you if you need it. Very sweet girl. I saw her in Stormwind and told her not to move cuz I was gonna ninja screenshots.


And of course, Jugga has a 90 Alliance on his original server. Omnirok is a name he's had forever. He healed some dungeons for me. Was the first time we played together since what felt like forever. It was fun.
