A Human returns to the Throne of Lordaeron!

January 24, 2009

Undercity… quite possibly the filthiest, scum-ridden (aka Horde-ridden) place in Azeroth. Do you not like my Horde-hatred? Good! Then that probably means you are Horde. The storyline of this world may attempt to force us together to fend off the greater evil, but even if we work together to bring down this unending darkness, I would never hesitate to spit upon your bleeding corpse. Wait, no… I wouldn’t just spit on your corpse; one might think me a coward to spit only on your corpse. Instead, what I shall do, is spit in your face to anger you. At that point, you might lift your weapon to challenge me in combat, and then I shall leave your body a blood mess upon the ground – a mess that might be confused by a passer-by as an animal carcass long left to be fed upon by scavengers.

And, with that, I shall leave you this – a human has returned to the Throne of Lordaeron! Muwahaha!

Server Downtime… /ugh

January 23, 2009

I am used to dealing with my server being down on Tuesday, but Friday, too?!?!?

I understand that WoW servers have to be maintained, but it gets irritating when I can’t play my characters on a Friday – when I actually have time to play.

In any event, I love that Druids can now Swipe in cat form.

Zeppelins aren’t just for the Horde!

January 22, 2009

I have played WoW for years, and one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had the pleasure of wasting hours of time on is breaking into Horde cities. It is simple to do with a max-level character and prowl (Druid/Rogue). Yet, with a level 2, it’s possible only after the result of a hundred deaths. Die, run back to body, run a few yards, die, run back to body, run a few years… you get the idea.

One interesting fact is that if you are dead, you will instantly re-spawn when you zone on a boat/zeppelin. To travel on a Zeppelin as an Alliance character, your goal is to make it down the stairs, out of site of the Horde guard. Once you are down the stairs, you can re-spawn in safety, as the Horde guard will no longer be able to see you. There are goblins down there, but they will not attack. Once you are where you want to be, you can jump off the Zeppelin without re-surfacing.

This is pointless if you’re actually trying to level a character, but fun if you’re into weird adventures.

Testing my new World of Warcraft blog

This is my first time using WordPress. It looks really nice so far – and even though I have never blogged before, I am having no problem using this site.

Just testing to see if I can use images; Google logo! woot!
