Why did you make toons on another server?
First off at the time one server had a limit of 10 toons I believe. I was wanting to level more locks with different specs. After I did that I wanted to try to make a fully sustainable server like Hyjal. I needed to make toons with every profession. At the time I didn't think about having every class. Well at lease at least one of every gear wearer. I wasn't super into transmog as I am now. A lot of it has to do with the fact that back then you had to hold onto the gear, and they weren't account bound. Now when you equip it on one toon, they get available to all toons that wear that gear type, of course unless its class specific. Then you can vendor it. I do not have a leather wearer on this server. I've been torn about making a new toon or not. I might do it, I don't know.
I also wanted to try to play on a low pop server. At that time, Hyjal was a high pop server, never "full" but always high. I was wanting a change. I stopped being a really a big social player so it wasn't a big deal going to an empty server. I wanted the quiet and not being bothered by people questing and stealing my kills or herbs and ore. Thats right! herbs and ore was fought over back then. once someone gets it, it disappears... now they don't, thankfully. Well it did really mess with the selling prices when they implemented lasting nodes. Auction prices went down, what a jip! The useful class to use for farming is a Druid. A tauren druid to be exact... Highmountain or regular, don't matter. Taurens herb fast and I didn't know this but my Hyjal highmountain tauren mines fast too. If I do make a druid, it will be that race.
This server also has a couple toons named after Hyjal Deadskully's Wrathguard. I was super, boarderline obsessed with him. I loved him so much... still do, it's extremely sad. I have not switched to another spec because Demonology is the only spec that will let me keep him. Anywhos, so yeah, he needed to be a spec that can protect you... So a Paladin, Warrior, or Death Knight.
Alright, and finally....
Why did I choose Alexstrasza? I know I said I was looking for a low pop server, but why this one specifically? Cata expansion is when you really get to know The Life Binder. I saw her for the first time and thought she was the prettiest Dragon aspect, sorry Ysera. So that was pretty much the reasoning behind choosing this server specifically.
So that is my Alexstrasza server story. Most of this is probably repetitive from other blog entries but oh well :-)
