I need help

Unread post by Hisae »

Hey Petopians!

*Deep sigh* I'm confused and I do not know where to turn on what to do with my characters. I do not know if these feelings of worry are coming from the new expansion coming out in 5 days but something is bothering me. The last few days I've been anxious and each time I look at my two 85s, Plua and Farron, I feel anxiousness and worry take over and I do not know why.

Plua (my first and oldest 85) is geared and almost has her 2nd profession, herbalism up to max, her first profession, tailoring is maxed! Thank goodness! She's been through a few race changes from human to gnome, to human then to gnome again, so a lot of her quests she did as a human seem to have been lost when she became a gnome, and I feel like she doesn't really have a solid feel in the world anymore. (Does that even make sense? :shock: )

Farron is a brand new 85 hunter with 5 pets in her stable (Loque'nahak, Ghamoo-ra, Gondria, Magria, and Pogeyan) and still hasn't even finished cata zones or even have either of her gathering professions, Mining/skinning up to max level. Farron is the same thing as she went from NE to Human to NE again, and even her name has changed so many times. Even the urge to clear her stable completely and choose a new starter pet has entered my mind.

I thought originally the emotions were from coming back from my vacation from Florida and I was just exhausted, but as of late, the urge to delete both and start over seems to float into my head but I tell myself that I can't as I've put too much time and effort into both to let them go. I have a 3rd toon who I'm really happy with and not having any problems with at all. Has anyone else ever felt this way and if so how did you conqueor this worry without losing two precious characters. I've notice this happens alot with any new expansion I've gotten.

Thank you everyone! :hug:

I'm sorry you feel that way hun.

Why not make a brand new toon on a brand new server? Or get a new account? Sounds like you may just be bored and are anxious about the new expansion. Trust me, I'm kinda bored atm too. I want to make my monk and level her.

Altaholics always need someone new to level, nothing wrong with that. :D Doesn't mean you have to delete your high level chars. ^_^

She's absolutely right. As a severe altoholic I have come to accept that this is the way I play the game. I had and still have moments when I feel that I should delete them all and concentrate on my "mains" (16 of them...), and screw everything else. This inevitably makes me stressed as I feel I need to "achieve" something, and then THIS backfires and I start hating my max level characters. I had 8 of them at the beginning of Cataclysm, and I ended up deleting four of them to soothe the anger and confusion I felt, which sounds a bit like yours at the moment. During Cata I had two of them restored as I realised that it was a mistake, although at the time it needed to be done.

This time round I don't actually want to delete anyone, but I think I keep that desire in check by having a lot of lowbies and medium level characters that I can reconsider and delete at will. Unless a character feels right, they get deleted. If it is a high level character, I think about it a few days, and then get rid of them if I still feel uncomfortable.

But whatever the case is, MoP is five days away; be patient and let them stew for now. Play the alt you enjoy, and reconsider everything when the expansion is a few weeks in. You may find that you don't actually want to delete them after all.

Redoing stables is also a good way to counter the madness. :)

I'm tempted at times to just delete some of mt hunters-I have so many on various levels-with four over 75 and two at 85. But I've spent sooo much time on them, I just cannot do it. My main hunter is the only one of my hunters that I really play-but I can't get rid of them.

My biggest consideration right now is to move my other, leveled hunters, to different servers. Then, once I fill up my main server, I can start 'fresh' on another server with at least one leveled character to get funds and levling gear on.

But I will say I cannot connect with my other hunters anymore, so I feel your pain. My main focus now is my main hunter and my shammy. I'm having too much fun on them to bother with my other toons.
