You know what made me bawl? The quest chain A Tale Of Valor.
STOP reading now if you haven't done the quest yet.
When the Naaru came down to take Bridenbrad up to heaven? OMG. I cried like a baby. Mister had to come over and put his arms around me because I was sobbing.

I got really, really upset once. I cried a lot.
I am such a soloist that my hunter had never really told my pet to go away to any extent, I'd had the same bear for a long, long time.
And once when I was on my very few raids, someone asked me to send my pet away. I didn't want to, and I didn't even know how, I ended up dismissing my pet entirely and my bear was just...gone.
I was SO upset with myself.

Yeah douchey mc douchebag druid kept running in front of my cute little druid butt and stealing my eggs.

Oh wow, that would bother me. One thing I really dig about WoW over EQ is the retention of the pet when you log. I like my warlock pets. Not that my rogue has a bunny, I think it is the coolest thing. It would be even worse as a hunter with you training your pets, feeding them, renaming them even.
Wow, I would HATE that. What happens when the pet dies in combat?

You can resurrect your pet with a spell as a hunter. I always just swapped out pets at the stable, always had them with me, never dismissed them (I knew it made their happiness go down and it made me feel like a bad mom.) Since hunters can also feign death, we almost never ever died, and I'd die before my pet did if at all possible.
I was seriously upset. Hell, I still am. Bad mom points to the nth degree. Roleplay pain.
Part of my end game blues. I just never do certain things and by the time I'm at endgame I can occasionally be a large set-in-my-ways toddler that doesn't know how to do the simplest group thing.
Yeah, I get that pathing inside dungeons suck. That's why I don't go there. /tantrum

I used to HATE it when my wolf pet died playing my shaman in EQ. HATED it passionately. I'm a bit more cavalier with my warlock. Cause, y'know, demons. C'mon.
Roleplay-wise, my 'lock rips the demons screaming from the pits that spawned them, and forces them to do his bidding. If it dies? Meh. I can always rip a soul shard from some mewling victim and summon it again.
I dearly hope that my new bunny pet can't be targeted on my rogue. If the bunny dies, there will be hell to pay. HELL.
And hunters are icky. As viv mentioned, she's got a hunter, and I rolled a shaman to pair with her hunter. Multiple times last night I died to a bad pull (mine), and she melee'd her way through it. A couple of those times said bad pull included some named mob. Melee'd down. Makes me feel like a wuss. I apparently need to work on my enhancement tree to survive melee better. Course it'd help if she'd use a frikken pet to tank for us...

The little baby pets, I don't think they ever get hurt. I always had a trail of stuff following me because my husband would give me kitties and birds and I'd always have them with me on whatever character. They just go away when you die, and they can withstand area spells like they're not there.
Amazing how a little siamese kitty is above it all. Very Zen.
Yeah, my hunters and the caretakers characters were the ones that would suffer when their pet died.
My warlock would go out of the way to send her Felguard into danger just because she thought it was funny. With all his threats I just told him it was adorable and he was repeating himself.
She was an herb gatherer too, so very often he'd be sent in to distract things while I gathered flowers. I know he resented it, that's what made it more fun.
My warlock wasn't classically evil, just intensely narcissistic and lacking in any empathy. Now that I think about it, it's very Fantastics.
"Round and Round" - The Fantastics
Yes. Dancing forever and forever!
(As EL GALLO sings, he holds his hand above her, her eyes closed -- as if casting her in a trance.)
EL GALLO:
Round and round,
Till the break of day.
Candles glow,
Fiddles play.
Why not be wild if we feel that way?
Reckless and terribly gay!
Round and round,
'Neath a magic spell.
Velvet gown,
Pink lapel.
Life is a colorful carousel.
Reckless and terribly gay!
(EL GALLO raises his hand. She lifts her head and her eyes suddenly open.)
LUISA:
I'm ready anytime.
If you'll take me, I'm
Ready to go!
So show the way to me.
I ill try to be
Ready to go!
EL GALLO:
I seem to see Venice:
We're on a lagoon.
A gondolier's crooning
A gondola tune.
The air makes your hair
Billow blue in the moon!
LUISA:
I could swoon!
EL GALLO:
You're so blue in the moon!
(And now they begin to dance. The MUTE hands her
a mask -- a plastic mask of a laughing-hollow
face that is frozen forever into unutterable joy.
This mask is upon a little hand-stick, so that when
held in front of one's visage, it blocks out any
little tell-tale traces of compassion or of horror.)
(As LUISA and EL GALLO go on dancing, we see --
in a stylized blaze of light -- MORTIMER and HENRY
up on the platform, now transformed into a puppet-
like stage, waving "flames" of torn red silk. At first
they are gondoliers, but as the action gets wilder,
they change into rioting peasants. In each of these
sequences, it is MATT who is the object of their fury. )
(At EL GALLO's urging, LUISA takes the mask and holds it up to her face.)
LUISA:
(Speaks as she looks through mask.)
Look at the peasants!
They're lighting candelabras.
No. I believe they're lighting torches.
Yes, see --
They've started burning the palaces!
There goes the Doge!
HENRY:
Arrivederci!
LUISA:
What fun! I adore pyrotechnics!
(MATT slowly rises, writhing, as HENRY and MORTIMER turn to him, and billow their "flames" up and down his twisting body. LUISA puts down her mask and speaks to EL GALLO.)!
LUISA:
That man -- look out; he's burning. My God, he's on fire!
EL GALLO:
(Pleasantly.)
Keep on dancing.
LUISA:
But he's burning!
EL GALLO:
Just put up your mask.
Then it's pretty.
(LUISA puts on mask.)
MATT:
Help!
LUISA:
Oh. Yes, isn't he beautiful!
He's all sort of orange.
Red-orange.
That's one of my favorite colors.
MATT:
(Writhing in pain.)
Help!
LUISA:
You look lovely!
(With one last flash of flame, HENRY and MORTIMER pull MATT down out of sight on the little "puppet stage.")
EL GALLO:
(As LUISA sings a wild obbligato.)
We'll just dance!
We'll kick up our heels to music and dance!
Until my head reels with music.
Just like a lovely real romance.
All we'll do is daily dance.
All we'll do is just dance.
All we'll do is just dance.
All we'll do is just --
LUISA:
(Speaks.)
Whee. I'm exhaused.
EL GALLO:
But you can't be.
The evening's just started!
(MUSIC. As he sings, LUISA turns slowly round and round on the Prop Box, the mask up to her face, like a mechanical doll.)
Round and round
Till the break of day.
Candles glow.
Fiddles play.
Why not be wild if we feel that way?
Reckless and terribly gay!
LUISA:
I'm ready anytime,
If you'll take me, I'm
Ready to go!
So show the way to me;
I'll try to be
Ready to go!
EL GALLO:
I seem to see Athens, it's terribly chic.
Atop the Acrop'lis, it's terribly Greek.
There's Venus, Adonis, 'n us -- cheek to cheek.
(As Venus and Adonis have been mentioned, HENRY and MORTIMER pop out from behind the "puppet stage," trying to look Greek.)
LUISA:
Oh how chic!
EL GALLO:
To be Greek cheek to cheek!
(Once again MATT rises into sight.)
LUISA:
Observe the friendly natives!
HENRY & MORT:
(Waving their "whips" of colored ribbons at the audience.)
Hello there!
LUISA:
La, how gay.
(HENRY and MORTIMER turn up to MATT and begin to "whip" him in rhythm with their streamers.)
Look, dear, they're beating a monkey.
Isn't it fun.
(Puts down mask; looks at EL GALLO.)
I wonder why anyone should be beating a monkey?
(Looks front.)
Oh, no, that's it.
It's not a monkey at all.
It's a man dressed in a monkey suit.
That man -- they've hurt him!
EL GALLO:
Put up the mask.
LUISA:
But he is wounded!
EL GALLO:
The mask! The mask!
(Once again she lifts the mask up to her face.)
MATT:
Help!
LUISA:
Oh, isn't that cute.
They're beating a man in a monkey suit.
It's a show. La, how jolly.
Don't stop; it's charming.
Don't stop.
MATT:
Help!
LUISA:
That's it. Writhe some more!
(The "puppets" disappear again, as EL GALLO and LUISA dance.)
EL GALLO:
(Sings as LUISA resumes her obbligato.)
We'll just dance!
We'll kick up our heels to music and dance!
Until my head reels with music.
Just like a lovely real romance.
All we'll do is daily dance.
All we'll do is just dance.
All we'll do is just dance.
All we'll do is just --
LUISA:
Couldn't we just sit this one out?
EL GALLO:
Ridiculous! When there's music to be danced to.
Play, Gypsies!
(Shouts are heard from behind the "puppet stage." Then everyone, including the Old Actors, joins in singing.)
EL GALLO
(& ALL):
Round and round
'Neath the magic spell.
Velvet gown.
Pink lapel.
Life is a colorful carousel.
Reckless and terribly gay.
LUISA:
I'm ready anytime,
If you'll take me, I'm

So show the way to me;
I will try to be
Ready to go
EL G.:
Gay --
We're so gay!
Terribly gay!
Gay --
We're so gay!
Terribly gay!
EL GALLO:
We'll be in Bengasi or maybe Bombay.
I understand Indja is terribly gay.
The natives assemble on feast day and play
LUISA:
With their snakes!
EL GALLO:
What a racket it makes!
LUISA:
I think I'm going to love Indja.
Such a big population, and
I adore crowds!
Oh, look, there's a fakir --
Hi, fakir!
HENRY:
(A bit confused.)
Arrivederci!
LUISA:
See -- he's there with his assistants.
They all know Yogi --
And they're just loads of fun!
There's one -- a young one --
There's putting him down on some nails.
(She puts down her mask.)
If he fails,
He'll be cut to bits by those nails.
MATT:
Help!
LUISA:
Someone help him.
EL GALLO:
The mask!
LUISA:
But he's bleeding!
Horrible!
EL GALLO:
Mask!
(And he forces it up to her face. Once more, the transition.)
LUISA:
Go on. Sit down harder!
He's a sissy.
I don't believe he's a real fakir.
They never complain.
He's a fake fakir.
MATT:
Help!
LUISA:
Fake!
(And we go into the last chorus, with LUISA singing the obbligato and the entire company -- except the MUTE -- singing in the background.)
EL GALLO:
(As the others sing their variations.)
We'll --
Just --
Dance --!
We'll kick up our heels to music
And dance!
Until my head reels with music.
Just like a lovely real romance --
(HENRY and MORTIMER come forward
and kneel on either side of LUISA,
joined by the MUTE who comes with his
red flame and kneels just below her.
As they do so, all three continue
to move their flames up and down,
so they are licking LUISA's body
as she turns round and round, the
laughing mask barely covering her own
horrified face. )
All we'll do is daily --
I can see the friendly natives!
All we'll do is just dance!
All we'll do is just --
Round and round in a magic spell --
(The OLD ACTORS and the MUTE rush back up to the platform and resume flaming the BOY as LUISA stops turning and stands facing front, her face just below EL GALLO's.)
All we'll do is just --
All we'll do is just --
All we'll do is just --
LUISA:
All we'll do is just --
MATT:
(Calls out.)
HELP!
EL GALLO & ALL: Dance!

That is good to know. I like my bunny.
They're tools. Demons are tools, nothing more. The arrogance is intense, the thought that one could be powerful enough to bend some demonic to one's will.
Oddly enough, I was less flip about the imp. He was just a little guy. Still sent him in on suicide missions, but not like I do the great blue marshmallow. I'm about to hit 20, so that will mean a new, and more visually interesting, pet. I wonder how she will be treated?
That was surreal, and intensely appropriate.
Mine is not evil per se either. Arrogant, superior, etc. Feels a sort of noblesse oblige towards his fellow Horde. Really a snotty character. Probably a good thing he's a soloist.
It's interesting how these MMORPG characters can build personality as I play them. My orc shaman is a boy scout, cheerfully helping any sob story that comes along. My rogue is in it for the challenge. My tauren warrior is the most surprising. I chose my primary talent tree based purely on roleplay. I have no clue if a Fury build is worth a crap, and don't care. The Mad Bull is clearly a berserker.
OBEY... THE COWGOD.

I dislike the imp and the succubus pet. As a soloist I had no use for either of them. Needed a tank.
The Voidwalker was great. But part of his skill also is that you can pretty much consume him for some invulnerability time. How cool is that?
Even within classes, the build matters a lot. My shadow priest was a silent, smug and fanatical killer.
Not at all the gentle, concerned and helpful person my rejuvenation based clerics usually are.

I am digging on the blue marshmallow. I want the succubus mostly because I think it's cool. Blue marshmallow will probably see more use.
Yeah, my priest has gone killy. I want to spend more time playing him, but the 'lock is really being fun right now. There is also the simple fact that much of the priest's current killiness is due to the new wand. I'm sure it won't be quite as impressive shortly.
I need to grab the mats for the next level wand and just make it in advance.

The succubus smacks herself too often. It's like a porn Nintendo theme. Repetitive.
Shadow priests rock no matter what you're using. You're going to get badasser and badasser and badasser and it's never going to end.
