A New Start
Arrens the rogue is no longer.
Two nights ago, I logged onto him for the first time in months. Of no surprise to me, a whole lot of changes had taken place in the guild I once called home. Guild leaders changed, his status as an officer was removed, alts I had in the guild were demoted to “absent” and there was almost nobody online. As I said, none of this surprised me, but I couldn’t help but feel saddened by it.
Since making my warlock my main on Feathermoon and becoming wholly involved with the RP scene there, I had neither the time nor the desire to play a toon that had no purpose, no life. A nagging feeling in the back of my head wondered if I should just give him a fresh start with a transfer to my newfound server.
And that’s exactly what I did.
I logged onto Cenarion Circle to find the new guild leader of <Da Doctas> online. We chatted a bit and I apologized for my absence. As an officer, I always felt badly about not being around to do what my roles clearly were. There was no way I could fulfill those duties and still be such an active participant in the developing story lines some of you may have been reading here and on Anna’s site. She said she understood and wished me the best.
Thank you, Sidonwy. To you, to Ghosthorn, to Otto, to Kadros, to Imtariba and all the other Doctas; to Abominus and the <Grim Maw Clan>; to Redearth and <Ishnu Por Ah>; to Arjah and <Homeland>, thank you each and every one of you for inspiring and teaching this newb RPer. I am in your debt and wish you all the very best in all your endeavors.
To those of you Horde side on Feathermoon: Beware. Festin is here.
Get to the Choppa!

Best of luck on your new server and in your new home. I have recently switched from melee to caster and have to approve of your choice in alts. It seems it is the season for switching roles and trying out a new style in Warcraft.
Got 2 Belf hunters there that will be playing in Northrend soon. While you’re on Festin keep an eye out for Kaledain and Khaotíc.
We wish nothing but the best for you, Arrens! Everyone needs to take the path that provides them the most enjoyment, and it does me good to see how much you’ve enjoyed Feathermoon.
Hopefully our paths will cross again at some point…it would be a pleasure.
(Amusingly, I just deleted my old macro, the one with Arrens’ full, rambling title in it. Ah, good memories.)
Hmm, keep an eye out for Bearkat and Talía (druid and rogue). >.>
<3s!
Arrens,
Hate to see you go completely. The rank changes were a very recent thing, mostly to help with bank security and keeping track of who everyone was, I believe. I believe everyone in the guild was sent a letter from Sidonwy and Caedes explaining the changes.
When were you last on? I probably barely missed you. It’s odd, though. I feel like I’m your exact opposite. I’ve only had middling success with my gnome on Feathermoon. The only RP I’d really run into him with were IC town defenses with Guild Watch, and a few random one-on-one conversations. I actually haven’t logged onto him in the last month or so, due to everything I’ve been involved with on CC.
I hope you didn’t base your assumptions on the life of on who all you saw in the OOC channel. A little before Nephy left to focus on FM, she and Arjah spearheaded a campaign to move most of our OCC chatter to a global HordeOOC channel, with many of the other guilds. This was intended to make thing a bit more central and user-friendly for new folks to the server’s RPing scene. (We’ve had a ton of these as well, due to some heavy advertising on the World’s End Tavern forums.)
Anyway, don’t want to sound like I’m rambling or ranting. I’m glad to see things are going well on FM. Whenever I get back on my rogue, I’ll see about tracking you down. And if you feel like grabbing an alt and showing up to one of the Tuesday Clincs (now in Orgrimmar), feel free. They get a little hectic being short on staff, but I think folks generally still have a good time!
Take care, and tell Nephy “hey” for me.

Aw man.
You’re leaving me all alone on CC with RILGON??
At the very least I can now delete Leafwind guilt-free ’cause there’s nobody on that side for her to talk to any more.
Is that enough guilt for ya?
Seriously though, I’m more than happy ally-side, we’ve made some really good friends, and my own move was well worth it. Look out though, I’ve got an alt on Feathermoon already, so I might still see you from time to time!
