Pandaren Babies?

I have to say, I love Luo Luo, the little panda cub sitting outside the portal to the Horde starting village in Pandaria. Especially the fact that when you /love at it, it gives you a magical bamboo shoot that turns you into, well, into a baby panda. It turns out, while you can't mount up on your own mounts, you CAN mount up on someone with a Touring Rocket/Sandstone Drake/Obsidian Nightwing. And its the most adorable freaking thing in the world! It added quite a bit of fun to our BWD guild run for the meta guild mount, especially while waiting for our tank's rez sickness to wear off (long story short, don't jump places where your body is not easily retrievable).

When in Doubt, Sacrifice a Panda!

I server/faction transferred my priest, Sunchati, to Wyrmrest Accord recently, and while the getting was good with the anniversary tabard and a full suit of heirloom caster armor, I managed to get the girl to her 80s. Which means one thing...

Sun got to go on her first raid! And what a first raid it was, too. I ran with a group of mostly 90s and one 87 with my Horde guild through ICC. Sun spent most of the raid dead on the floor, sadly, but I got some nice loot for her that carried her through 83. I still even have the necklace that dropped in there! And then there was the big bad himself, the Lich King. After forcing a wipe due to all our ghouls dying from Necrotic Plague, or our off-tank dying (because there's no way you can outheal the million or so damage from twentysomething stacks of that), our intrepid raid leader came to one conclusion. The lowbies had to die. But we were well compensated for being canon fodder to carry the plague to the new ghoul spawns, and I was quite happy with the end results. Even if it did result in looking like a stylish bear throw rug in the throne room the whole fight.

Um, could you please get your left boot off of my head? That plate's kind of heavy!

Kind of makes me wish I had capped my MRP from that night. I changed it from Sunchati Pureblossom to Sacrificial Panda, the Sad Panda. My guild title in the roster still says Sacrificial Panda, which will be our raiding in-joke now.

In other news, having so much more fun Hordeside on an RP server than I ever did Allianceside on my PVE server. So much that I'm thinking of giving my hunter and shaman the same treatment that Sun got. I'd probably keep Hecubah as an elf and change Taiaa back into the Tauren she started life off as. But who knows?
