[...] this little story because of a recent post by one of my favorite bloggers BBB with his posts When you wish upon a star and One inch deep and a million miles wide. Both the titles and the content motivated me to blog [...]

BBB, you aren’t the only one with a bear/kitty druid :D

Tangentially, if I’m going to consider myself a singular “ego” or “avatar” in a game, I want to be able to change my class, dagnabbit! My altitis is firmly rooted in wanting to see how everything works.

You seriously need to consider hiring a monkey to help you out. No joke, I think of few of my guildies tried it and it’s freed up their time :)

I’ve maxed all my toons and all my tradeskills. Besides RaidIng I’m pretty bored. Glad summer is here to waste my time away outside.

Imagine the tattoos/markings going away on the bear-form and being replaced by patches and logos…

Wait… is a kitty/bear dual spec unusual? My Druid has been specced like that since she first got dual spec. (It goes well with my elemental/resto shaman, I can fill any role.) My brother’s Druid is the same spec.

That was an amazing story, wasn’t it? I wonder if that kind of thing is still going on?

Whereas I really only have 3 characters… all level 85… and PvP geared… two of those with dual PvP specs… yet I don’t have the time to play all 3… and that is with PvP alone… the gods help me if I wanted to, I don’t know… raid, instance, quest, indulge in trade chat…

Well, all I really get from your post is that all your self-generated content comes from playing a lot of alts. which is great, mind you, if it “keeps you busy” (is that actually a quantitative or qualitative statement?), but from my very personal PoV just shows that there’s no content besides raids and dungeons unless you keep generating new characters and repeating quite a lot of the story.

I’m no alt player, I have that old-fashioned belief that I am one person only in an MMO, one adventurer looking for identification, proression and immersion in that world. and if you only play that one character, you’ve run out of things to do the day before yesterday. which hasn’t anything to do with lack of imagination, but lack of tools and freedom to really shape things in that static world. so, I don’t think the fact that you can create a plethora of alts speaks for wow’s content – quite the opposite. if there was enough to do, I’d never need a second character.
but I realize that wasn’t exactly what you were saying anyway; so let’s call it an aside. ;)
