Race Changing My Main

(I know I haven’t written anything in months, I don’t feel like blogging these days but I’m alive and enjoying BAzeroth!)

I’ve been asking for bigger body shapes in WoW since I started playing so when we first heard we’d get Kul Tirans as a playable race, I knew I’d race change as soon as I could. I want those hips.

I didn’t expect to get emotional about it in the way I did. I’m excited to play a Kul Tiran but I feel like I’m losing my character in a way. And she’s actually a human so the change is not even that big! And it wasn’t until I read Cinder’s great post where she says goodbye to her Pandaren that I realised I needed to do something to give my proper farewell to my character too. So on my last evening with her, I remembered all the things we accomplished together, all the fun we had and took her around the worlds to take our last screenshots.

This is where it all started. Anniy the human mage was my first character. I knew quite a lot about the game before I started playing but there was still plenty noobness and mistakes and general sucking at the game. To be fair, I still suck at the game sometimes but I’ve learnt a lot with Anniy.

Falling off cliffs and mountains happens a lot. Even with Slow Fall, I die often. /facepalm

The first pony I loved! It’s the basic one for 1 gold but it started my obsession with mount farming…

… which led to ponies like this one.

We made it to 288 mounts which is a solid number!

We did a ton of achievements too, like What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been. It was definitely long but worth it.

We did so much older content together! To be fair, I started playing in WoD so most of the game was “older content” but we still had a lot of fun with it.

We built a garrison and then got a bit bored in it. But at least we had enough time for achievements and older content!

I haven’t finished Loremaster and I’m a bit sad about it. It would’ve been a great last thing to do but I ran out of time because I’m still busy with BAzeroth (which is great!). At least the new version of Anniy will experience Wrath too.

The reputation bonus helped us get 98 exalted reputations which is awesome! I’m currently missing only the ones in Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch. I don’t enjoy PvP much and they take a very long time to get so f.ck those. I am very happy I got everything else before race changing. I will miss the bonus but I got A LOT from it.

Other accomplishment I’m proud of was that nine months long PvP grind in Legion for the pretty ponies and “the Unstoppable Force” title. That was so rewarding.

We got all Archeology achievements and most of the rares.

We made a lot of clothes and engineering goggles and even picked some herbs on Kul Tiras and Zandalar.

We had a farm and grew vegetables.

We mostly avoided Goldshire because we’re on Argent Dawn EU and strange things can happen there..

We reformed The Tirisgarde and became Archmage.

We made a headcanon and we’re dating Anduin in it because why wouldn’t we?

We danced,

we flew on our beloved disk,

we laughed,

and enjoyed being a mage.

Seriously, how cool is this spell animation?!

We even raided with Team Easily Amoosed from Girls Gone WoW discord! That’s so much fun!

And now our story ends here, in Boralus. In a few hours, Anniy is going to be reborn with hips and a thick waist and I am going to love her even more.

So let’s have new adventures and make new memories! Now with hips!
