Beauty Or The Beast? (Worgen)

Beauty or the beast?

Today I woke up with a Christmas tree knocked over on the floor, since then it's been knocked over three more times, all the ornaments are off of it, tinsel all over the house. I have one very bad kitty. To top it off my son's vice principal should be sent to the principal's office for lack of manners. Gotta love days like this.

I managed to finish off the Worgen starting area this morning. It was bittersweet. A lovely story with some sad parts. People losing their homeland a father losing his son, people losing loved ones in general. I feel for the Worgen, it makes me like Sylvanas a bit less. It's the nice part of playing both sides, you get to see things for yourself. Personally, I think she's lost it!

Player housing please?! You taunt me Blizzard >.>

I decided to make  a (yes, another) Druid. I wanted to play around with the new Druid forms. The Worgen are cool looking, a bit 'doggy' looking but cute that way. The mount/run speed animation, I'm still deciding what exactly my thoughts are on that. It's cool in a way but it's weird too. I can already hear all the 'doggy-style' jokes and 'attempts' in the cities. *Rolls Eyes*...

Something I did not like was my visit to the barber. I had to switch to Worgen, pick hair, get out of the chair, switch to human, see hair. Nope not the right one, do it all over again. Annoying. That will get costly at 85! Plus those new hairstyles from WoTLK were not an option for me. Booooo!

Other than that I had a nice time. While not as fun and crazy as the Goblin area it was a good play. It went by quickly and pretty smooth, for the most part. I still have to finish up the last part for the Goblins... Another day on that topic. Today it was nice to be in a cozy rainy day atmosphere.

I will miss those 'gabby' Gilneas'!

I've just been indecisive about what I want to play lately. When I get like this I just play whatever is fun at the moment. I may play the Worgen a bit more when no guildies are on. I'd like to see how some of the Alliance areas have changed with the questing.

So yeah, I'm all about just having fun with alts right now. I keep forgetting to try out archeology. That will give me a reason to log in the main. Hope everyone else is having fun with Cataclysm, seems they are! OR... whatever it is you are playing!

Get Gabbin' Or Get Goin'!

<3

I think I just might scream if I hear another NPC say that. While cute the first time, it started to get old quickly, in the Worgen starting area. Last night I managed to play through more of the area and while it is very impressive it's not comparable to the Goblin starting area. However, what is comparable to the Goblin starting area??!! If you're raving about the Worgen area you haven't even tried Goblin, apparently ;)

It was all fun and games until the masses of Worgen started killing off newbies, I had many good laughs at those poor alliance alts! I did like the storyline and the setting of the area was so lovely. I really, really wish I could have housing in that setting!

I also leveled the Hunter some too, she is halfway to 81. I got my lovely seahorse. I ended up logging her just because there were still so many people around and I'm also not in any big rush. The seahorse is so beautiful!! I wish I could use it everywhere.


The Goblin DK finally made it out of the starting area and I had a chance to check out the barber. There are extra hairstyles in there- Woo! They saved the best (female) ones for the barber! They are sooo cute! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, do so. I am sure the Worgen have that pony tail, I wanted, locked behind the barber! I'm just showing off my top three. I can't decide which >.>

Later on today I want to try my hand at Archeology, maybe get 81 on my Hunter and work on the Muppet of Doom (DK).

I'm tired today and little crabby (keeping it short today). My son forgot lunch money and wasn't fed at school. I hate yelling, but somebody has to do it, right?


Anyhow if you haven't made a Goblin, skip to step three, profit!

Cataclysm Thoughts

Yesterday I was pretty busy and didn't have a chance to put out some thoughts on Cataclysm's launch day. For one we got our new Android phones in- Yay! While I've played around on my brothers iphone, I still had a lot to figure out. So he came by (he had an android before buying the iphone 4) to show me some handy things with it. And I absolutely love it! Maybe my twitter won't be so dead anymore ;)

Bad kitty! I'm trying to play Cataclysm!

So besides spending too much time playing around on the phone I did manage to be on when Cataclysm went live. It was fun, chaotic and impressive. I did have to log out and back in, digital download, which I couldn't get back in right away (OMG LETS ALL LOG IN AT ONCE) but after about 10 minutes I managed to. It wasn't as bad as it could have been! My kitty, Tut,  (pictured) was being a bad kitty, that night.

We met up with a friend, Dire and I. We went to the new 80 starting area and it was crazy, all the people there! By this time it was an hour into Cataclysm and I had fun but moseyed off to try a Goblin, after awhile. I was tired of competing with so many people! Dire was tired and he actually fell asleep. The Goblins were the highlight of the night. I was so impressed with the quests and starting area. It was amazingly fun, such a fantastic job was done with everything I've seen so far in Cataclysm! I was floored.

I'm not going at a breakneck pace really, more of a snail's pace. I know it will all be there for the next year and a half, at least! I do want to see raid content but it's not going anywhere. I made a Goblin Mage which I had tons of fun with but I may end up playing more on my Goblin DK. I'm thinking about doing some tanking, possibly. I feel the need for a melee character!  As for my main, I want to play her some too. I'm just waiting for the initial burst of people to move on.

Yesterday Lono wanted to do some guild runs to level the guild and we managed to get one in, which was fun. We did a low level instance and I took my little Paladin. Free lewt! We want some of the guild rewards so we plan on working on the guild as we can. I'm sure we'll be doing some alt runs to boost those levels up too.We also saw the first 85 message while in there, jeez blow through the content why don't you?! Speaking of firsts, I hear Athene hit 85 before anyone else, on the EU launch. He did that in LK too. Last year he was banned for the manner of doing it, hope it's not a replay of that!


I've not yet had much of a chance to play through the Worgen area, very far. The Goblin starting area was amazing, I hope the Worgen one is just as fun. I did make one last night but my eyes were so heavy I couldn't get very far. I ended up falling asleep on the couch waiting on Dire to get home, which he woke me, to my surprise, with dinner. Yum! By then I was pretty much done for the night, ha!

So those are my first impressions of the expansion. It's one that is truly refreshing and I really have to give props to Blizzard for the impressive launch and all around fantastic job they did with Cataclysm. I just have to stop messing about and pick a character to play up first! I'm thinking of working on the DK some more today.

What's going on in your neck of the woods? Rushing to the cap or just taking the scenic route? Safe adventures all!

Countdown To Mean Green Goblin Take Ov... Err Cataclysm!

Can we wait that long?!!

Are you ready for Cataclysm?! I sure am. When I first started playing again I figured I'd want to race to 85 and get the Hunter there first. I'm not so much feeling the Druid, maybe after a race change, but I am sure she will hit 85 in due time.

What I seem to be looking forward to mostly is making a Goblin! They are so cute, the look like little green pixies, well the females do. I'm not big on small races in MMO games. Most never really hold any appeal to me. Having a character with stubby legs and arms, where gear looks like infant wear, isn't that interesting... But the Goblins were so well done that they look like a fun race to be. Seriously they just ooze fun! The racials are sweet as well.

I do plan on making a Worgen too. I have to, I've been wanting to make one since I first heard about the expansion. And I do plan on leveling Clo, my Hunter, because I am interested in getting 85, I'm just not in a really big rush!

I've been mostly playing alts over the weekend. My Mage is level 16, she might end up getting deleted to become a Goblin! My Lock is 41 and I have another Paladin alt (too cheap to transfer my 80 back here), who is 20 now. Paladins are very appealing, I really enjoyed leveling this one up! With all the new quests in these areas it's just so much nicer leveling alts and you just fly through the levels!

He sparkles!

In the past I've mentioned that my serious alt days were in the past as I've played through these zones one too many times since release. With these changes it's not like that anymore and it makes me want to play an alt. Fantastic job Blizzard! It takes a lot for me to want to level an alt these days and it's really nice to feel differently at the thought!

I hope everyone has a fantastic time in Cataclysm! May your loot be phat and your levels be fun!

Ready for Cataclysm? Part 1

As Cataclysm looms closer in the future I've had a lot of mixed feelings about playing. Today I wanted to get show off some of the things that have me excited. I want to play both Goblin and Worgen! I am just itching to make these classes!! Even the starting zones look great.

I really wish I had gotten into beta, but I suppose I can't get in every time. So for those of you that are excited yet sitting wondering what's been going on here's some really neat stuff I've seen out there on the net! Also the new Druid forms are... well fantastic!

They will suck us in with these delicious racials and awesome races but will Cataclysm deliver high end? Eh we'll save that for tomorrow. On with the goodies!











These are pretty neat, I really liked the jokes!
Female Worgen Voice
Male Worgen Voice

In Closing I want to say... Thriller would have been so epic for Worgen lets hope the females still hold the possibility!
