<3 my Pug (WoW)

If you can't tell from the pic above, I finally got my Perky Pug! I've been kind of slow in grouping the last couple of days. I've been messing around in Free Realms and just waiting on Dire to tank when he's on. I noticed last night that we needed to do three more groups for me to get this little baby. I sat laughing at my little pug after I got him, with Dire looking at me like I had lost it. He's just so cute! I named him Gizmo, after the real one ;)

I also noticed I have 80+ emblems sitting there that I need to spend. Upgrades today! It's nice playing a class again I feel so "in my skin" with. I just enjoy it all around. Resto suits me perfectly, healing is much more fun than it's been in years. I wonder why I quit on the Druid so long ago.

I'm thinking of changing my off-spec, for awhile, to feral. I want to run some old dungeons for achievements. Feral is much smoother for doing so. I've gotten a lot of nice feral gear from heroics that nobody has needed. It's been piling up so fast I only need a cape and a necklace now. I don't think I would want to dps as feral, I may try it out. As far as that role goes I enjoy Boomkin more so to do damage. However I like that I can have three very different specs I can utilize with this class. I suppose you could say four, if I want wanting to tank. Nay! Tanking isn't my scene anymore.

Dire decided to go DPS for awhile last night. It took a little while longer to find a group w/o him as a tank. It wasn't too bad since I stayed Resto. I prefer him tanking, as I know how he works. He decided to go back tank spec. He was thinking of transfering his Rogue to Alliance, I told him he may as well dps as the warrior too if he want's to. I don't mind healing another tank if he needs a break from it.

We all have those days where we like to switch things up. What do you do for a change of pace from the norm? I think for me instead of going dps... I'll just farm some old achievements, keep healing in my heroics, as I enjoy the role.

Have a great weekend all!

Are we having fun yet? (MMO)

I'm back to the point where I'm really enjoying WoW again. Lately I've read a lot of blogs where people state they are not having fun, the game is stale. I know exactly how they feel though, I've played three characters to 80, raided with two and have ran an endless slew heroics. I'm not hardcore, but I'm not the average WoW player either. Why am I all of a sudden having fun? It took a few breaks, tried other games and I'm now taking things slower. It's not some magical fix, but sometimes you have to break away and take a breather, or just slow down. I have a friend who has 5 80s and he's currently working on 3 more alternating ever 10 levels.. if that won't keep someone busy I don't know what will! However that's not something for everyone, some people don't have that much time or patience.

For now I have my sights on getting my Druid to 80, getting her an epic flying skill-- I do not want to farm 5k again but that's part of the plan. Eventually the hunter, however the Druid has sparked more interest it seems. Sometimes I think about what I already have and just sticking with one already 80. I miss my epic fliers, my achievements yada yada yada....but in all reality the Druid will make things fresh for me. Do you miss your mains when you play alts? I sometimes do but I'm having fun again. That's the goal. I respecced resto/boomkin which I think will coincide better than feral/resto or feral/boomkin, the gear will swap easier and I can heal and still dps as I level. I'm taking the time to catch up professions on her which keeps things interesting and changes up the pace.

Also there are some cool things coming to WoW soon which look great. The new quest tracking feature. Long overdue! Now they need to add in a healing tool like HealBot and I'd be one happy Dr00d (and Paladin)! The Perky Pug! You get it for pugging, funny one there, ILU Blizzard even if you make me pug for a pug.... A cool calico cat  and albino snake too, Breanni has the latest on all the pets. And two holiday events along with the upcoming patch.. MMO Champion has so much news I can't keep up anymore! And if you haven't seen it you can get your own Night Elf Mohawk grenades to throw at everyone! I pity the fool who hasn't seen these.. sorry had to say it. You can watch the commercial here, it's pretty funny. A lot of people complained about it on the forums as 'wasted resources'. I think it's funny really, all in good fun.

I'm still playing EQ2, I hit 38 and got a few levels last night with the Swashy. I found a really cool guild with some fun people so I'm really looking forward to playing that more. I also don't out level the husband while he isn't playing WoW. The server is still awarding 20% bonus xp which is so very sweet! This game feels so rich in lore and I relate to it being a EQ vet. Something about EQ2 just keeps me really interested, I cannot wait to hit 80, I think when I finally do I may play up my Fury next. I've just felt like playing her for some reason, I may level her a bit here and there just to have a change of play style.

Since I don't have anything witty to say in closing, I leave you with this:
