So they gave me a free week of WOW and...

The most interesting change I can tell is that you can rearrange the orders your characters are in on the login screen. People have been asking for that for years so at least somebody was listening, lol. I still had no ambition to do anything quest related. I did get to talk to some of my friends which was great (Hi Swan, Grimm, Dedi, Pintail, Drusky, Lafrentz and everybody else). I think part of the problem for me is the underwater zone. I logged unto my Shaman there and I just logged right out I didn't want anything to do with that zone. I also didn't want to queue up for anything although I thought I might hit the headless horseman for old times sake. I have a few days left so I'm sure I will get back in at least once more for old times sake and to see if some of the other peeps are logged on so I can say hey. Typeatyalater

K Out!

I am paid up for only 2 more days

I decided since I had only logged in once in the last month it wasn't worth it to keep paying for WOW. I don't know if this is a permanent goodbye or just a temporary leave of absence. I find I have been spending more time reading and catching up on things from Netflix and playing games on the Xbox. I logged in today thinking I would do some of the stuff I always said I wanted to do before I stopped playing. I lasted about 45 min before I got bored. After having been a Raider and pushing to topple bosses and then burning out I just can't get into the casual play style of WOW. I also have no ambition to push myself to get geared up to do any Raiding, as I get so frustrated with randoms and very few of my friends play any more and are all spread out over different servers. I will probably log in a couple times in the next couple days to see if I can catch anybody online to update contact info but after that I don't know what my gaming plans will be. ToR has had me curious for a long time so I might give it a try when it comes out. I may try some of the free-to-play MMO's out there now see if something grabs me. Any good ideas?

Todays JC Daily: Nibbler No!

I don't know if its the same for everyone on the server or if its random for everyone. I decided to log over on to my old toons to see what I was doing and figured I would at least do the JC daily. It was easy so that was a bonus :) Mostly it makes me wonder what I am going to do. I am really enjoying the new leveling so I will keep going on my new toons but it would be nice to have a toon I could think about getting ready for raiding. I am wondering what role I would best provide and still have fun? I have extensive experience in endgame content as a prot/ret pally but I have almost zero interest in playing him right now. I have also done some raiding as Elem/Enhc Shammy, Boomkin/Tree, and Disc/Holy priest. I have also maxed out every class except rogue its a very interesting conundrum really. The Boomkin is 85 and pretty far along in enchanting everything else is in 80/81 limbo. Well I will see how it goes, have fun out there everyone.

K Out!

Back in the game!

Well I logged back in setup my addons and created a couple new characters over on Grimms server. I am now a member of Eff the Ineffable. It seems like an awesome place to hang out, guild chat was busy without being annoying, everybody seemed pretty cool and there are some much more well known bloggers than me. I almost had a bit of a Fanboy moment when I heard who one of our guildies was, but I restrained myself. I was shocked someone in the guild besides Grimm had actually heard of me. First time in game someone I didn't know or contact first actually had heard of me. I have to admit that was kind of cool. So we will see how the return to the world (of warcraft) goes but for now fun is the rule, and tonight was pretty fun. I ran thorough the new Gnome starting area which is pretty well done if I must say, a little short compared to the newest races but you can't have everything lol. I am not quite ready to commit to transferring anything over but we'll see how it goes. So anyways, its good to be back

K Out!

I was perturbed by this

Did you know you can no longer skin rabbits anymore? I used to skin rabbits on my low level skinners all the time but my friend was leveling an alt yesterday and he couldn't skin a rabbit and so we tried a few others and sure enough you cannot skin the rabbits anymore. I know this is not a game breaking change or anything but why after all this time would they do something so minuscule as that?

Our new raid night was fun until...

Until we got to Gluth, hahaha. We are still working out a zombie kiting strategy. Our mage/hunter combo was kind of having a hard time staying alive. We did coast through Patch and Grobbulus though so that worked out pretty good. Also wanted to note my posting may be a little more spotty for a while. I used to post regularly at work but I was layed off last week (not because of my blogging, lol) so now I am out hunting for a new job, so posting to the blog is kind of on the backburner. Hopefully I can pick up a new job soon and get my schedule all figured out and get back to posting more of my misadventures. Typeatyalater

a quick note on 3.1 chnages

*Blessing of Kings now a baseline spell *

All I can say is finally!!, this makes more sense then anything else they have tried to do with this (five points to get 10% bahh). If they had just done this all along they wouldn't have to worry so much about balancing it. oh well.

*Exorcism can be used on all mobs*

Now I just have to find a way to sneak this into my 9/6/9/6/9 rotation (I think I'll live lol).

Also noted I need to remember to go to outland every month to get those consortium gems to help my lowbie jewelcrafter.
