And we all have a ton of alts. That's just a few. I know that I must have missed some, and please forgive the oversight.
If you're concerned about starting a new char there, come the expansion in Nov, I get the feeling that there will be quite a few people starting a new "Shaman" or whatever all over, so that you'll have plenty of company.

You could actually get a "running start". Hehe!
/hugs and hope to see another attempt.

PS Wild and Mizz came on just after you left.
