Vanguard: Time To Rewind
Ever since I started up this blog I have been chronicling my adventures as a Kojani Druid on the Seradon server. I reached level 17 and was looking forward to seeing what was in store for me in the higher levels. Things changed the other day that has made me switch servers and start over again.
I frequent a very popular gaming message board. Many of the members there decided to start up a Vanguard guild on the Xeth server. I was asked several times to make the switch so I finally gave in and jumped from Seradon to Xeth. Since Vanguard doesn’t have a character transfer service, I had no choice but to start over from scratch. I decided to do things a little differently this time around.
I loved playing the druid, so that stayed the same. What changed was the race I played and the continent that I started on. This time I chose to play a Vulmane druid. Vulmane’s are wolf-like creatures that basically look like humans with wolf heads. I have to say that the Asian “spirit” theme on Kojan was starting to wear a bit thin, so I felt that switching races and continents would be a nice change. As you will see in forthcoming posts, I greatly enjoy Thestra over Kojan. That surprised me because I always hear great things about the lands of Kojan. For me personally, however, I enjoy the quests and the scenery much better in the Vulmane starting areas.
Some things will obviously be a re-hash of what my druid did before. The spells will be the same, but the quests and the lands I do them in will be vastly different. This will allow me to report on the differences between the two starting areas so that others have a better idea of where they might want to start. I thought about trying a different class, but I was having too much fun with the druid.
So a new chapter begins. Let’s see how well it goes.
