Sangrerose: A Blood-Elf Priest

In every MMO I've ever played except for Eve, bag space is always an issue.  So who makes bags in World of Warcraft?  Tailors.  So Sangrerose was born Saturday night.  Sangrerose is a blood-elf priest (sangre is Spanish for blood) who will be a tailor and enchanter.  From what I understand, enchanting and tailoring go well together.  Add in the +10 bonus blood-elves get for enchanting and the combination seems to be a natural.

Rosilind: A Blood-Elf Hunter

I did something I thought I would never do again.  I re-subscribed to World of Warcraft.  Why?  Because Brenlo did such a fine job of running things with EverQuest 2 before he was fired that returning right now just isn't attractive.  And I'm not even referring to the whole "rangers are fine" attitude the developers have.  I gave up on that aspect of the game when the EQ2 devs fixed the rangers' mythical bow by nerfing all level 1-70 bows.

So off to Azeroth I went.  I chose to create a blood-elf hunter named Rosilind.  Yes, I am playing another ranged class in a race in which I think the female characters look tougher than the male characters.  But the last time I played WoW I played on the Alliance side so this time I'm playing Horde.  That perhaps was not a wise choice since I'm playing on Darrowmere and I understand that realm is dominated by the Alliance.  We'll see.
