Gotta Catch Them All!

Yesterday was a good day to be a Hunter! I felt like I was out catching Pokémon, I had so many pets I wanted to find. It has been such a festive feeling time in Warcraft, so many people around, friends on and excited. Lono, another friend and I were in vent sharing information and thoughts and it was cool


As I mentioned yesterday I planned to get the rare blue fox, Ashtail, which I did. It took about an hour and I think I was the first to tame him on Silvermoon, if not I was one of the first! I was bombarded with questions of where to tame him, once I hit Orgrimmar. Before I had a look around the new areas, I camped him and it was very nerve wracking as there were so many Hunters around. I noticed many were in the area Wowhead listed which is not his spawn, it's an area he paths through. He spawns against the east wall and paths to the road, his spawn point is where the arrow is in the picture, if you want to grab him. I thought I'd post up his pic to show those interested. He is lovely! I named him Ash. My buddy liked him so much he went out and got one too. And they dance ;)

There are many other neat pets, another ghost like wolf, which is always up in EPL on the east hill beside Darrowshire. All can be found on petopia, check out the cool new looks. I still have a few I want to get. I got a cute little monkey too but I was sad to find I had overlooked that he isn't a tank... Oh well he's adorable.

The world looks great and it seems like a good time to make a new alt! There are fun new quests such as the singing sunflower pet quest line. Which is no cake walk! I had my son help with the last three levels, yes I suck at strategy. He rocked, he got me the cute little pet and he had fun playing through it! It's a fun quest but for some people it might be a bit tedious. You have to complete five quests with the plants vs zombie mini game and they get harder each time!

What else... Gamon is now kicking ass and taking names. Tired of being pushed around for years! He is now an 85 elite with a huge HP pool. Engineer flying mounts work on land in Azeroth, no other flying mounts seem to. There are some awesome new tabards to be gotten near the flight paths in Org and UC. And there is a cool Hunter doggie pet to go with my little pug. Woo!

I poked around in the Troll starting area and I must say I like Vol'jin, I like his attitude. He is probably my favorite Horde leader. He has character and he isn't afraid to speak his mind. I like that. It's a nice starting area and I hope to mess around some more there. I think I only got to level three but I have plenty of time to mess around. Enjoy the pictures, I know I went a bit overboard but I can't help it!

Mean, greeen, fighting machine!

I'm on a... boat?

Pinky and the brain!

Mundane leveling... (MMO)

I'm still dabbling in both EQ2 and WoW. I'm having fun in both. I am at the point where it seems one of them will take a back seat so I can focus on leveling in the other. I keep saying I'm going to let the WoW account lapse, I just don't know if I really want to when it comes down to it.

In EQ2 I've found some stuff to keep me interested like the Spire Quests which are really neat and fluff pets.  I really want to get to the max level to be able to join in and do more. Trying to catch up sometimes can be tough. I need to find a guild that is more outgoing I think, logging in and nobody saying much of anything gets stale fast. I've hit level 35 with the Swashbuckler woo.. I need to push past the 30's and 40's I really dislike those levels. I hope to get a surge of motivation to push through this weekend. Right now I don't feel like bothering with it. However I still like this game too much to let those mundane levels put me off. I think my biggest issue with this game now is the community. Or rather the lack of.. maybe it's my server. I've thought of transferring. I will give EQ2 some more time, some more levels. It's really a great game, and I want to see the top finally.
 
In WoW I'm still working on my Hunter. A good friend of mine helped me knock out some group quests which was fun. I've ended up helping random people lately, it's nice to come back to this game and have people LFG. I can always log in the Paladin to do more if I want. One of my friends is trying to get me to apply to his guild which is actually dong very well. I'm thinking on it still, I enjoy being in a guild that does a lot. The only thing holding me back is my connection seems to sometimes be inconsistent on 25 man runs some nights. I will be so glad when I move this spring. If I could find a group that I could get into 10 mans with weekly, I'd be happy. The guilds I had joined previously kind of turned out to be meh. Nobody was ever on, still nobody on when I log in to see if anything is on the calendar for the week.

If I indeed get the hunter to 80, I think it will be a lot of fun. Plus it gives me something new to work on and time to think about what I want to do. I miss those days of running heroics and raids with her. Plus she has the most kick a$$ pet ever the Ghost Wolf.  I really can't remember why she got "retired", I think possibly because we always needed a healer so I ended up filling that spot. I'm considering hopping over to the rogue, not sure yet, I really like range DPS in WoTLK. Yogg is a mess for melee, I actually did that fight as Ret once and it was chaotic. I think I prefer fights like that as Holy!

So that is what I'm doing, I need to crank the leveling up a notch and get some knocked out this weekend. I hope to hit 40 with the Swash and get a level with the Hunter. We will see how it goes. Have a nice weekend everyone!
