It's lovely to be able to post one of these.
It's not really a Christmas story, persay ... it could have happened at any time. But it happened on Christmas Eve, so I'm claiming it as one, goshdarnit!
I was out questing in Scalawag Point on my druid (newly respecced to boomkin, which is a lot of fun - going back resto once I hit 80) in Howling Fjord when I saw a yellow dot on my radar. Ore! Getitgetitgetit! I raced around the hill and up, to get the precioussssss.
There I saw an orc death knight fighting a trio of bears. I jumped into boomkin and helped him finish them off, then we did the good ol' emote communication. He took some whacks at the ore, then I did. Nice and sharing and I rode off with a smile. I hate when people ninja nodes off me, so I try not to do it to others (occasionally I just don't see them, but I make an effort not to do it on purpose).
Doesn't end there!
A few minutes later, I get a whisper from a very flatteringly-named lowbie and we have a short conversaton.
That was so nice :D
I've not put his (or her) name in here in case they don't wish to be named, but I'll be pointing them in this direction.
Thank you again! It was a really nice gesture to go to the trouble of making a toon, and it was good to share the ore.
So that's my cheery story for the day. Happy holidays everyone!

hey Eledith, it's Tetamura (the orc mentioned above)... glad to have participated with you in the jovial and wondrous breaking down of barriers between alliance & horde
what a wonderful Christmas present=) thank you!
i'll keep that one piece of Cobalt ore in my inventory as a token, and the next time somebody swoops in and ninjas a node while i fend off hordes of spiders and/or zombies and/or murlocs and/or sand gnomes i will look into that lovely ice blue rock and know that, somewhere, there remains a light in the world(s)! again, my gratitude towards you and your goodness is indeed continuous and growing.
