Sorry Guys!

Yes, I know, I keep neglecting this blog. This time I had a reason. I was testing out Wordpress, to see if I might switch Knights in Gold over to Wordpress. After much delibiration, I probably won't. The honest reason for this is, for me Blogger is just simpler and easier for a noob who's never done this before. Also, RL has kept me busy for a while now, and I simply haven't had the time. But I will be posting regularly now.

Other than that, my Death Knight hit lvl 60 yesterday. I'd been taking it really slow, and my leveling partner hadn't been on much, so I'd mostly just been doing bg's and lvling up mining and Blacksmithing. But now I've hit 60, and I'm itching to try out Dancing Rune Weapon and buy mahself a Kodo. I've always loved kodo's, and I'm gonna farm BRD to the ground if I have to for it next Brewfest. Other than that, I've just been leveling up inscription/herbalism/cooking/fishing/exploring Azeroth. Oh yea and drooling over patch 3.10.

That reminds me, I will be giving my angle on 3.10, in 2 parts, since I don't think you can do it justice in 1 post. Probably. I may have not thought this through well enough, and I may not have enough material to cover for 2 posts. I may make it 1 long post. Who knows?

World of Geekcraft

Ok this subject really annoys me. I don't get how just because I play World of Warcraft, I'm a geek. Yes, I may partly fit into the steryotypical geek personality in your eyes, but what I don't understand is why I'm a geek for the sole reason I play World of Warcraft. I may as well say 'you play Halo 3, you're a nerd.' See? Not so nice now is it?

It's just a game people! Yes, I'll admit, some things, such as using a WoW gide for a book report, or writing a WoW Roleplay for an English project, is going to far. All though, come to think of it, why not? People only don't do that because they know other people will laugh and riducule them. I shouldn't have to hide the fact I play WoW.

There, that's my rant for today. Since I'm gonna be gone for the next little while, I thought I should get that off my chest. Just a quick update, then I'll be done. I started working on Drzmor again, less on my DK. I think I stopped playing him mostly because Hellfire from a completly new angle, (The Horde one) is more interesting than Zangarmarsh after you've been there for 3 lvls. But I dug in, and dinged 64. I'm lovin Seal of Vengeance. But lvl 64 also means, I get to experience the wonders of Terrokar Forest.

Now many people say this is their least favourite zone in Outlands. (And considering most people don't like Outlands as a whole, that's saying something.) And I think I know why. In nearly every zone in Azeroth has a purpose in it. In Hellfire you're defeating the demon front, and that's ve emphasized. In Zangarmarsh, you're protecting the natural balance. In the Plaguelands, you're defeating the hordes of undead, in Elwynn, you're defending you're homeland. Terrokar Forest has no purpose, no problem threatening to destroy it. 'But Drazmor!' you say. 'What about that huge barren crater in the middle of the zone!' But think about it a little. Will that large crater immediatly destroy Terrokar? No. The Shadow Council are more like the Defias in Elwynn. Unlike the demons in Hellfire, where letting you're guard down for a moment could kill us all.

Drazmor.

I'm still here!

I know, I know, I've been bad. I've neglected my blog for nearly a month. Damn. But honestly, I've just been too lazy to post. I get a great idea for a post, then I decide to actually play WoW. It's hard, since I just got Burning Crusade and WotLK, the allure of WoW is very appealing. So I'm just gonna compress all those ideas of the past month and put em in 1 post.

While I've been gone, I've thought about a few things. First and foremost is healing. From what everone says, there is a healer shortage in WotLK endgame. Now I really like tanking. I haven't had much experience, but I like healing too. So unless this whole healer shortage buisness clears up by the time I get to 80, it looks like I'm gonna be respecing to Holy.

Speaking of endgame, my friend Derran, who I talked a bit about in the last post, did his first Naxx10 last night. Now he's every purist about these things, so he firmly believes addons are cheating. I'm of a different mindset. So yesterday I tried out Power Auras. I got the idea of BRK's post on the matter. So right now I have an aura for Devotion and Crusader aura, Judgement of Light, and Righteous Fury.

So in my leveling news, I'm out of Hellfire. Actually I've been out of Hellfire for a while now. I think I might be out of Zangarmarsh by the end of the week, but then I'm away for a week. You know, I was really pumped up for the Sporeggar quests, but then all I get is a few instance quests. That really sucks when you're in Outland these days. It's nearly impossible to get a group. I'm still waiting to finish of my quests for Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace!

Like I said in the begining of the post, I recently got WotLK. While geting a port to Dalaran still eludes me, (Actually, I got one first try, but I forgot to set my hearthstone there, and I haven't been able to get one since.) I did make a Death Knight. A horde one, so I can still be on Cairne, but I can try out not being under the wind of my hardworking main/guild. The only downside I have to my tauren so far is he looks really stupid on his DK mount, and I've gotta wait till lvl 60 to get my Kodo. I may be the first to say this, but I will; you know that DK quest with the frost wrym? That was one of the worst quests I've ever done. Mainly since it reqired both hands just to move the thing, and unlike all you hardcore gamers, I haven't sewn on a third arm to 'enhance gameplay'.

And on a final note, sadly, I lost my little notebook of awesome. The one that had my ultimate pally cheat sheet in it. Damn. I'm really not looking forward to writing that again. Well, I will try to post more often guys.
