A new adventure starts

With Wrath of the Lich king now on the horizon, and virtually no play time during regular raid hours I've decided to try a new adventure on for size. Ever since the first MMORPG I played (the amazing (<-Sarcasm) Conquer Online), I've shunned away from pk/pvp as much as possible. And my WoW chars are on carebear realms.

But since while playing on those realms, I've done some world pvp (Nagrand/Halaa) and some PvP on battlegrounds, and I've even tried my hand at the Arena varient. And I've found I enjoy the feeling of winning in PvP (in my mind winning currently equals killing an opponent of similar level :P).

So, I've decided to overwhelm myself in the full extent of pvp and roll a character on a PvP server. Since I'm planning on focussing primarily on PvP with this char I've decided to roll the current king of PvP, a Rogue.

Which also means I'll be playing a class I know very little about except for the fact that they own my current (Warlock) main every time I come across them. So there's a second new experience for me.

And to go for a fully new experience I should really roll a horde toon now, as my main and all my significant alts are allience characters. However that fact also means that just about all of my chars get their asses handed to them in PvP situations. So I've got a bit of a personal vengeance against the Horde at this point (the faction, not the players). And have decided to roll the race most disliked by horde (and coincedentely most liked by me), a GNOME.

I'll be the target of all gankers and griefers I'll come across, but what the hell. If I'm going pvp I might as well enjoy (or at least experience) all it has to offer. Thus Vispilio (according to some site I found it means Robber in Latin) the gnome Rogue was born. (I'm actually writing this article before that is actually the case, but seeing there are only four characters with that name on European realms at the moment I'm sure I can find one that makes me able to create that char).

I plan on portraying the adventures of my new char here mostly, with at times my opinion on all sorts of WoW topics thrown in when I feel passionate about something (shouldn't happen too much :P)

The name of this blog is kinda under the assumptions that my Rogue is a criminal, and being a gnome as well he'll be quite literally be a small evil. (And why a male? Well, let's just say I'm sexually insecure or something, that should keep people happy)
