Al'akir - First thoughts.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much. This is a PvP realm, one of the firsts. And, as everyone knows, some PvPers can tend to be a bunch of elitist, e-peen stroking pricks. That isnt what I experienced thus far on Al'akir. Everyone who I met has been nice, pleasant, and welcoming, but none moreso than my new best buddy, Bobella. (That isnt her actual name.)

Bobella is a level 80 huntard who I found hovering about on one of those bike things that engineers can make. Being my friendly self, I /waved at her and continued on my way, as I do with all people I witness in secluded places (Azuremyst Isle is barren). A couple of minutes later, she whispers me, and tells me she were AFK. For the next 5 minutes I try to convince her I really -dont- want a ride on her bike. Then for the next.. ooh.. 40 minutes or so, we spend a great amount of time talking about things like RP, PvP, PvE, Zalgradis (<3), and ganking.

She tried to force me to take gold, offered her hand in aid if I should ever find my poor little Draenei under the tooth and claw of a mean Undead Rogue, and was all very nice and pleasant to me.

Anyway, other than my new best friend, everyone else here is -awesome-. Everyone I've met/walked past who can buff, for example, has buffed me. I've had different strengths of Blessing of Might, Mark of the Wild, Arcane Intellect, and Power Word: Fortitude cast upon my slender frame, to which I can only say "Thanks" (Except you, Mr. "I'm too important to buff you" Mage. You know who you are.)

This is allll going to change when I hit Ganklethorn Vale, but for now, I'm enjoying the friendly laid back nature of the Alliance here.

EDIT: Oh, and as previously requested, almost-naked Bubblebum.
