W00t! Level 85 Shaman! Level 12 Guild!
My guild was on the verge of hitting level 12 this week, so I decided to really punch it by taking my shaman and leveling him from 81/82 to 85. Tonight, I finally did it after a long grind. That makes it a total of four level 85’s toons on my server with one very…

Almost Done Gearing My Paladin; Next My Hunter
I’m almost through the various dailies on the Molten Front! Talk about an epic pain in the rear! But I managed to accomplish a pair of great things tonight. First, my Paladin now has revered status with the Dragonmaw Clan, allowing him to pick up the 346 tanking helmet. Previously, he was using the PVP…

Vanilla vs TBC vs WOTLK vs Cata
Gotta love the debates that go on regarding how old time World of Warcraft players complain in nostalgic sense about what post-TBC players have missed. As a post-TBC player, it’s very hard to get a sense of what Vanilla and TBC were like. However, having read a bunch of forums, I’m starting to get a…

World of Warcraft Patch 4.3 Thoughts
Right now, we’re getting a pretty good preview on the upcoming 4.3 patch for World of Warcraft. Of course, the biggest thing is that this patch will allow players to finally down Deathwing, who is the end boss of Catacylsm, of course. Leading up to Death Wing will be some uber raid bosses along with…

Leveling Alliance Toons
For the second time, I started a Draeni Protection Paladin and managed to hit level 18 with her. My path for questing goes from the Draeni starting zone, garnering level 6 or so, before moving her to Stormwind to pick up the human quests. Why this route? The quest rewards are better generally speaking in…

Ghostcrawler: A Failed Game Developer
I was reading through various posts about the upcoming 4.3 patch on some different forums and it seems that not many people like this guy. I read his justifications for death knights (for instance) and my impression is that this guy is just reactionary in terms of how he approaches class design. Meaning that these…

Recent World of Warcraft Patch 4.2/4.3 Thoughts (and More)
I’m not a huge raiding fan, so I can’t comment on the new raids. I’ve mostly been doing some grind quests with regards to the Firelands. The whole idea of helping to gear non-raiders seemed somewhat appealing to me. But the quests ended up being quite boring and horribly repetitive. You have to go through…

Druid at 79; Cataclysm Coming Up!
Feeling rather ill this weekend, I did little again outside of working on my druid. I managed to really push her, landing at 79. Hopefully, if I have enough time tomorrow (or this week), I’ll get her up to 80 fairly quickly. Then it’ll be on to Mount Hyjal. I want her at 85 quickly…

World of Warcraft: Movin’ on Up
I just got my druid to level 68 and moved her to Northrend in the Borean Tundra. Her inscription is now at 361 and I plan to do a few round wandering around the area to do some gathering. Although I predict the next few days to be somewhat busy, I’m hoping that this weekend…

World of Warcraft: I Learned Today….
I’m such a bonehead. I never knew this until today that you could create enchantments using scrolls. But I suspected that you could otherwise enchanters would be even more valuable as a sought after class on servers. For myself, this is great news because it provides a great deal of incentive for me to level…
