I know I said I’d make a nice big beautiful post today (technically yesterday) but I was having so much fun that I ran out of time. Tomorrow afternoon. Promise. Okay, somebody remind me. Here’s a quick outline:
- Hit 1-10 Tuesday evening (gogo Bear Form!)
- Knocked out all of Teldrassil Wednesday afternoon, starting working on Darkshore
- Ended up 27% through 16 (gogo Cure Poison, and halfway through Seacow quest)
- Plan is to be 20 at least (Cat Form yay) by tomorrow before I have 3 days of work and not much levelling
Trying to keep herbalism up in equal level to the zones I’m in is making the leveling a little slower. That’s all I’ve got for now.
PS, I sort of updated the Blogroll links. If for some wacky reason you read me and you’re not linked hit me over the head with something.
This is going to be brief because I have a picture post coming tomorrow but I just wanted to thank everyone in BA chat and Fim especially (for /ginviting me) for showing me there are real, live, intelligent people who play WoW. I rerolled on Draenor with my boyfriend and I’m enjoying myself again, it’s pretty nice.
I have a baby Nelf Druid over there since that’s where all the cool kid alts hang out and from reading Fim’s blog his guild seems like good people which is all I ask for really. I may end up transferring my warlock over there just for fun since the server she’s parked on right now isn’t home anyway.
Thanks again guys!
Already?? Okay Okay, not a big update. Anyway I mentioned I poked my head into Blog Azeroth which means I also poked my head into the BA chatroom hoping to see some of my favorite blogging stars (what…). And I was reminded that I haven’t listened to the Twisted Nether blogcasts yet. Admittedly I’m not a huge podcast kind of person but I gave this one a shot because it’s co-hosted by one of my favorites, Bre of GLDC. I loved it to say the least. Now I know Bre is quite likely my only reader anymore (and Pike perhaps? I am on her blogroll after all (squee btw!)) but I feel the need to link anyways:
My account runs out tomorrow, but as I’ve been trolling my old realm forums I thought about not quitting maybe. I’ve re-made a few old friends so I might reroll yet again on my old server. Of course I’d take it slow and be even more casual than before…
So my choice (if I decide to not quit) is either: wait for my transfer cooldown and go back to Area 52, level my Hunter on Area 52 (without transferring Awlbiste), level something on Daggerspine (original server), or level something on a new server one of my other friends are on. Then if I decide one of the last two options I get to decide what to level… so I’m going to think about it for a bit and see how work in the real world goes.
Wish me luck!
PS, because of people like TJ and Ratshag (I really need to update my Links section, somebody give me a way to just link my entire feed reader…I’ve been reading these people for a long time.) I finally joined Blog Azeroth even though I’m barely a blogger. Sort of. Kinda…
I sold off most of the stuff that I was pretty sure I wouldn’t need based off of what I didn’t need last expac. For example I knew I wouldn’t be needing any of my pots or gems and I used all my extra badges to buy epic gems to resell. I kept some enchanting mats (however I sold 40 or so Large Prismatics) like arcane dust and I kept some netherweave cloth and netherweave bolts for those first few profession levelling points.
The ironic part? I had planned to park myself in the dancing troll village by Moonglade however I missed a jump, fell to my death, soulstoned, kept falling and died again. So I’m dead with a double repair bill but I have 8000g.
PS, that up there isn’t the final count, I still had some gems to sell so I believe I came out at about 8030ish.
If you hadn’t noticed I pretty much gave up on updating this with any regular schedule. I’m in no mindset to make a real update right now so here’s one in my favorite list-type fashion. What I’ve been up to since my last entry:
- We transferred to Dalaran and joined another guild, Area 52 wasn’t really home anymore with the loss of so many friends. Then again Dalaran isn’t home either so I’m not sure about this one.
- Killed Rage Winterchill and Anetheron in Mount Hyjal. Killed High Warlord Naj’entus, Supremus and Shade of Akama in Black Temple as well as some attempts on Teron Gorefiend. I can say with more certainty now that raiding in BC holds almost no interest for me whatsoever in terms of just raiding. I’m sure with some real friends this opinion would be different, but for the time being raiding for raiding’s sake is right out.
- Didn’t transfer our alts with us and don’t have much desire to level them without help from mains so they’re basically rotting now. May level them up in WotLK but can’t say for sure.
- Real life issues and plain boredom with the game is leading me to quitting. The funny part is I’m not going to miss playing but I will miss trolling my old server forums, that should tell you something. Unfortunately for me forum trolling isn’t worth $15 a month. My account expires on the 2nd, until then I’ll log in for raids if they happen and try to sell some stuff I won’t be needing so I have some gold for Wrath.
- I’ll definitely be back for WotLK at least. It looks like some changes are going to be made and good or bad I’ll at least play for a month or two. Perhaps the new 10 man versions of everything will renew my desire to play past the levelling and gearing-up period.
I’ve had too much real life stresses to play a whole lot of serious WoW anyways so I can’t say I’ll be missing much. And of course I’ll still be reading and commenting on blogs anyhow.
I’m too brain-dead to make a real post so here’s some bullet points.
- My boyfriend made an alt. It’s only 21 but I really hope he’s going to level it this time. Even slowly is fine by me, but it’s something to do together. I said I’d buy him a mount if he managed to hit 40. He doesn’t need the money (probably has more than I do) but it’s an incentive I think.
- With that said, I’m slowly levelling my Hunter too. I decided to get a Ghost Sabre because they look so neat when Bestial Wrathed. Ran some Wailing Caverns and finally got a Venomspitter.
- Still not sure what I want to do in terms of the guild and raiding and etc.
I guess that’s all for now actually.
I’m a bad blogger. I just don’t have a whole lot to say. One of my friends in the guild sold his account so the number of people I consider good friends in WoW is dwindling down. I’m not really sure how I feel anymore about the whole situation.
In terms of the guild as a whole I never really wanted to become a “hardcore” raider–hardcore in the sense of setting aside RL time to make sure you’re logged in for consecutive hours doing something that’s planned more than say once or twice a week. But there’s not a whole else left to do in WoW that I truly enjoy. I really liked the idea of just being casual and doing heroics and Kara with friends but that just didn’t work out this time. And I just don’t enjoy PvP or arena all that much to be totally honest. Same with levelling alts, it’s kind of boring to me solo.
So I’m not sure. And that’s basically what it comes down to. I’m also really trying to get another job so that will probably severely limit my choices if I try to look for something that will allow me to raid. Which means I’m not going to try to push the issue of being able to stop working at 6 or 7.
In happy news (since all my news lately that I’d have to give is bad and drama-worthy) we did down some new bosses (new to us- old to everyone else). I mentioned we got Void Reaver down in Tempest Keep and last week we also got Astromancer Solarian down as well. Today we went into Serpentshrine Cavern for the first time as a guild and got Hydross the Unstable and The Lurker Below down. Not too shabby for us at least.
I’ll leave it at that for now.
We interrupt your usual WoW programming to make an off-topic post.
It might be Virgin UK but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to spread out to other countries in quick order. It’s especially important now because this is the first time an ISP has come out and said quite literally that net neutrality is “a load of bollocks.” Yes it’s basically been said in different terms but this outright statement is, well, “a load of bollocks.” It affects us as bloggers (and as general internet-users) so that’s why I interrupt my regular posting.
