A Year of Changes

by Aero

This year has brought along so many different changes for me already, and all of them for the better. To start off, I have moved about 3 hours away from everything I grew up with. It isn't much of a distance in the scheme of things but nobody in my family has ever moved further than 20 minutes away from my parent's house. My family has always been very close. My best friends growing up were my 3 sisters. We spent so much time together growing up. My older sister Shelly taught me to play video games. My sister Tina helped me with schoolwork. I passed along everything I learned from them to my younger sister Molly. The move has been hard on all of us.

The reason for the move is my new job. I am loving it! I've been working in Quality Assurance for the last 4 years, but this job has all the wonderful things I have been looking for. The people are extremely friendly and the atmosphere reflects as much. I've met so many great people already. There seems to be a real sense of community here that wasn't prevalent in my hometown. That sense of community is even more apparent now with the passing of Joe Paterno. I knew before this tragic time that I made the right decision to move here, but the way everyone has come together has only confirmed that even more.

When it comes to gaming, I am still playing both WoW and SWTOR, but my indecision on a main in SWTOR has put me behind the rest of my guild. I have 5 characters level 30 or above. I'm thinking I will end up leveling my Jedi Sage to heal. In WoW, I am still playing my Holy Paladin as my main. We have moved from two 10-man groups to one with most of our core leaving to play SWTOR. I have been offered the GM position by our current GM as I am the only officer left that logs on with any consistency. I am doing everything that a GM would do to keep the guild running as best as I can, but there are things that I want to do that I am unable to without being the GM. I am going to have to recruit an almost entirely new core of players, including a new main tank and another healer. I have never done any recruiting for our guild in the past so I will definitely be stepping out of my comfort zone. It will be challenging, but I am looking forward to the opportunity and all the new opportunities in life and in game that I have ahead of me.

Writing About Stuff

by Aero

I started this blog in hopes to continue to post about my gaming exploits, but I realized shortly that it really wasn't something that I wanted to write about all the time. There is a new goal in mind with the change, and that is to post about pretty much anything that I am thinking about that day. For the last few years I have kept a daily journal about my life and what I have experienced. There will still be posts about WoW, SWTOR, and gaming in general but it will not be the main focus that I started with. The hope with this is that I won't have stacks and stacks of notebooks everywhere and all my thoughts will be consolidated to one place. I am a huge neat freak so this will get rid of the feeling of "OH MY GOD SO MUCH PAPER EVERYWHERE" and calm down my nerves (and maybe allow me to sleep). Plus, posting about the things I enjoy will motivate me much more to post.

With that, I will begin tomorrow with this new focus on this blog and my first post with the change.

A New Beginning

by Aero

Hello and welcome to my first post on ProbablyAero!

MMOs, specifically World of Warcraft, have been occupying my time for the last 4 years in some capacity.  I have been in guilds attempting cutting-edge content as well as the casual guilds that are happy to spend a few hours together and have fun.  Another large chunk of time when I am away from the game is spent reading or listening to the many wonderful World of Warcraft blogs and podcasts out there.  That said, I have been inspired by these people to attempt to share my thoughts and experiences in a game that we all have enjoyed playing.

Just to tell a little about myself, I am currently an officer and raid leader for Novo Ordum Mundi on Steamwheedle Cartel. We have two 10-man groups that have completed 7 of 7 in Firelands, one just recently. Congratulations to our Tuesday/Wednesday group! I have been a part of this guild for almost my entire WoW career. There have been many friendships forged between us in the 3 years we have been together. There was a rough personal patch in my life that forced me to leave in between those 3 years, but they welcomed me back with open arms and I never turned back. During that saga, I was a part of a guild attempting server firsts on the Alliance side of things, then jumped between a few other guilds until I settled in with some real life friends and took my first steps into raid leading.

I am what some in my guild have called a "main hopper" for obvious reasons. I started my raiding as a Mage in Wrath and continued with that up to the release of Icecrown Citadel. At this point I started tanking full-time with a Death Knight. I joined that guild and tanked through almost all of ICC until I was AMBUSHED by a husband and wife from my former/current guild. With that, I came back and tanked through and completed all ICC hard modes with them. My Death Knight lasted through Tier 11 up to Nefarian. Consistent healers were hard to come by with our guild at this point, specifically Paladin healers and this lead to me dusting off my holy cow and gearing him up to heal. At this juncture I consider myself to have two mains, my Holy Paladin and my Feral Bear Druid. I raid every week with two 10-man groups on both of these characters.

I would like to thank Jadissa from Yelling On the Internet for hosting my blog and helping me to get this all set up. I plan to cover a wide array of topics in this blog, including raid leading, healing, and tanking. I will also be covering Rift and Star Wars: The Old Republic. Hopefully I'll meet some new people, share some ideas, and just have a good time with like-minded individuals in the wide World of Warcraft. Enjoy!
