Reflections From The Pond

One of my all-time favourite bloggers, Phaelia of Resto4Life, recently announced the wonderful news that she and Mr Phae was gonna have a baby!

Resto4Life was one of the blogs I stumbled upon a slow day at work in november 2007, and it inspired me to start this blog of my own. Now, while I most amble along and write odd pieces of whatever I have on my mind at the moment, Phaelia had a beautiful blog running with a lot of news and theorycrafting and it was one of the prime sources of resto druiding out there on the ‘net.

As she announced the news of her baby, she also retired her blog, finding it impossible to balance all things in her life. She is sorely missed by many many people, but I think she did the right thing. Some things you are better off ending when you are on top.

Now, it seems that a new gear item has turned up on the PTR, a beautiful leather chest perfect for a resto druid. The chest is called Phaelia’s Vestments of the Sprouting Seed.

This actually makes me all teary-eyed. I think she is truly worthy of this recognition from Blizzard, the work she put in for the resto druid in particular and the WoW community in general was simply outstanding and she helped so many people (me included, with some blog-related problems I had) become better players and better bloggers.

I am actually seriously considering respeccing my feral druid to resto just so I can get this chest-piece!
