<There and Back Again> Guild quests before Cataclysm

[Vephriel]

I know another alt character is probably the last thing some of us need, but I just had to share the story of this guild that I read over on WoW Insider.

Full Article

Server: US Thorium Brotherhood - Alliance

Basically a Horde-side guild decided that they needed to quest through the Alliance content before it was gone forever in the next expansion. They made a guild called <There and Back Again> and are just casually grouping and questing together in a fun environment (much like our own Petopia guilds).

One of the best features, in my opinion, is that they have an ongoing Level Cap that changes as the weeks go on. Members are not allowed to go past the level cap until it is raised, therefore no one is left behind and you can go at your own pace. It also seems as though most activity is on Sundays, so even if you only dedicated one day a week to that character you'd still probably be fine. I like that they center guild activity on a weekend day like that, meaning I won't feel pressured to be playing over there constantly (since I know my Nesingwary characters will always take priority). One day a week getting to know the Alliance-side lore sounds like a good deal to me, and they seem like a fun group with even a bit of casual roleplaying and games on the side.

I'm honestly going to try this out since I have never seen Alliance quests past the mid 20's really, and I can't remember it anyways. I'm a lore nerd so just that aspect alone really makes me want to see the quests that I've missed before they disappear.

Anyways, I know I'm insane for starting another character, but I thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else might be interested. xD I'll probably roll a hunter, lol.

Alliance is full of good lore and great stories - it truely is..many epic quest chains are on our side. Not dissing horde side because I've been through their quests as well but I def recommend going and doing the Stalvan quest in Duskwood and also the Morben Fel quest chain. BOTH have very good stories that go along with them and are among my favorite quest chains in the entire game too do. Good luck Veph!

[Vephriel]

Yeah, I know the Alliance side have a lot of quests rooted in lore, which is the only motivation I would have to level one up.

I've gone ahead and started my character - Vephoria the Night Elf hunter if anyone happens to join. x)

There's something similar going on on Kilrogg EU. Their levelcap is 78, however, which really makes me not want to join.

And Veph, the best chain in the game is in Dragonblight. It's the long one leading up to he wrathgate. Much lore in that one.

[Vephriel]

Well, I made it to level 10 last night just before getting to bed. x)

It's an awesome group of people, really friendly and fun. They've got a guild bank up and have useful stuff/bags/gold for newbies and it's a really welcoming environment.

*nudges people* You know you want to jooiiinnnn.

[Vephriel]

Hooray! A fellow Petopian! xD

I might actaully try this, I've only had one alliance character(a draenie) that I plaed to about 20, would be nice to see what the rest of the races have quest wise.

*refuses to lift his roots out of the ground* Uh-uh...Uh-uh.. I'm staying right here in Petopia... No outer realm alts for me... It'll drive me crazy..hard enough to keep up with 2 characters as it is.

I understand this. My main characters are on server Tanaris, and I have been spending alot of time on Nessingwary with Petopians. Bad thing is I'm juggling 8 characters between the two. My guild on Tanaris has been wondering where I've been. hehe

Would you be able to put up a link to the website? I keep getting a site about racecars when i try...

Thanks

This is a wonderful idea. It's a shame that this guild is Alliance-side, though, because I have played Alliance almost exclusively for the past few years. That said, the Alliance quests are great, and that's part of the reason I could never get into the Horde ("Dude! Raptors stole our silver!"). The human quests are the best in the game. Literally, the first quest you get (with the kobolds. Just looks like a random problem at first, but, later...) ties into a broader chain of events that will you all the way to 60 (and what was Onyxia). The atmosphere is just wonderfully done and very coherent.

Woot, made it to 16 tonight.

Bleh, kinda made a toon for this guild, looked at my server selection screen, decided I didn't have enough time to commit to this. Sad Ryno is sad.
