Two, and three.

So I hit 24 last night and now have drain mana ( yay ) and corruption's next level and sense demons. I also went from +25 ish stm and +23 ish int to: +45 stm +38 int with 1 quest(back), 1 limited vendor(belt), 1 drop(gloves), 1 guild bank(off-hand), and 3 auction purchases (pants,shoes,wand). Once I hit 28 I will have +49 stm and +49int. Not bad for someone who won't spend more than a gold on a green item and more than 5g on a blue item. I'm also fully trained, and my demons are as well. I soloed the quest to kill the gnome on top of the waterfall in Stonetalon Mountains which I thought was pretty impressive as he was level 27 and surrounded by level 21-23's. Course I'm a lock so its less impressive. I also died to alliance rogues 3x. Twice to the human rogue on horseback and once to the gnome rogue wandering through on robo -chicken. Belmont! Take this down. I want those who come after me to understand why I have done what I did. Gan'rul su...

Trying out a new layout thing. If you were paying attention between 2-3pm CST then you saw our site layout change.. flicker flicker flicker as I tried different ones. Then I found one I liked and called Beowulfa. Then I dutifully changed the "ugly" and found one she liked. Then I cried and asked her to let me find another one...... end result. We like this one. But the colors will probably change. And I still don't have a final "its okay" from PrettyOrc. I linked Apathy in my blog roll. Not huge on the grammer, but thats because he specced DEEP into the common sense tree with a good helping of reality. Mystic stuffs . Fun blog about a paladin I think. Fun anyways. Blessing of Kings . I like it. Well written very paladin. We also moved my comic links into my links and added a Beowulfa section. She has linked Porthos (yeah I know thats not how he spells it but I love three musketeers). I didn't realize how good life was under nananananapppblosghdfljkdh in nov...

Orc hubby and meself were discussin the other day how to be giving and generous people in WOW. We firmly believe in the "give and ye shall receive" principle. This brought up an interesting question: how would one "tithe" in the game if we were truly roleplaying and playing Christian orcs? (hee hee, can orcs be religious? They're rather bloodthirsty.) We tossed around a few ideas but none really struck us as brilliant. I feel it would be somewhat weird to walk up to a person and ask if they wanted anything. I don't know about anybody else but I'd be looking for the strings attached to the offer. So suggestions on how to be kind and giving orc brutes would be appreciated. Anyways, the other day a fellow orc asked if he could enchant a few items of mine for free. Thinking that he probably wanted to sharpen up his skills I agreed. Loaned him my items, he gave 'em back, and then, remembering our previous discussion on generosity, I tipped him...

"Warlocks were once mages, or in case of the orcs , Shamans , who, in pursuit of ever-greater sources of power, abandoned their studies of the Arcane or Nature and delved into darker Shadow -based magic."- WoWWiki I find this, funny? Ironic? I don't know the word. I am level 23 now. Still cheerfully burning things down, but now I am back in Stonetalon mountains. This zone has grown on me. The first time I came here I hated it. I hated the color. I hated the burnt trees. I hated it. Now, I find it soothingly empty. After leveling two characters through Barrens in a month. Bleh. So crowded, so loud, so many alliance. Sure in Stonetalon I'm flagged and am occasionally oneshotted with a 730 damage green warlock spell. But that is rare and the relaxation of quiet channels and no large alliance raids killing all my npc's is nice. The orcish warlock quest for Anwena, introduced me to a cowardly selfish orc. I'll talk more about him tomorrow I think. When I describe...

Some clean up stuff first. 1)Beowulfa tricked Lance into tagging himself see his blog here: http://lance-dailyrambles.blogspot.com/ 2)Ding 22! I now have my succy, Anwena. She's okay I guess, currently she dies too fast to be worth using. 3)I picked up Atlas, QuestTracker, and Auctioneer 5.0. I also on Saturday picked up Omen.All of these addons make me very happy. QuestTracker probably the most. It gives me focus and points me -almost- directly at where i need to be going. Atlas was almost a dissapointment as all it does is give instance maps with the one I have. /sigh Auctioneer 5.0 is wierd but OOO SHINY. Omen is exactly what I wanted. I very simple threat meter. This allows me to really dance along the aggro line when soloing anything 5 levels higher than me, without actually crossing over and getting myself killed. 4) Pebbles der mage of Datheroc server: " oooo pebbles is playing! I remember him he's good " 5) Rune of Perfection. What does spell penetration do ex...

So I was perusing the various WOW blogs I regularly read and I got to BBB's 5 things he'd learned from gaming. Read through his 5 and got to the 5 people he'd decided to tag. Got to the 3rd person. Beowulfa. Pause. That's me! OhmygoodnessI'mfamous! Call Dammy in excitment. Imagine doing a little dance. Settle for kissing orclette. Then I start thinking of the 5 things I'd learned from gaming (in my case this would be WOW and only WOW). #1. Older people (over the age of 16 or 17ish) can game and not be deadbeats or loafers. I just couldn't imagine responsible, contributing members of society playing a game . I held this opinion until hubby (then fiance) introduced me to WOW in an effort to get me interested in his favorite pastime. Laugh at self. I love this game. #2. Liking the same game can be a wonderful bonding thingy between husband and wife. Unless you only have one computer. And one of the twain is pregnant. (Obviously not Dammerun...

After reading BBB's and Kestrel's opinions on men playing female characters etc. hubby, hubby's brother and myself began discussing why we played the characters we do. I play female characters because I do view them as mini-extensions of myself and any time I tried to roll a character completely different from myself I quickly lost interest. My brother-in-law frequently plays female characters. I never got around to asking why he plays females. I think its for aesthetic reasons. I tease him endlessly about it but it doesn't seem to bother him. Hubby always plays males because he thought I would be bothered by him playing a female. That made me pause. Why would that bother me? Would I be threatened by him rolling an attractive female character? I should hope not. 'Sides, he'd probably play either an undead (because he likes their starting area) or a gnome (he thinks they look cute). So maybe he should create a female character if he wants to. I'm...

An update. We have stocked away enough gold for Beowulfa's mount. The stuff I send her has sold well and we're looking good. She merrily defends HER flag, and nightly reminds me that I don't know how to play a hunter so please don't comment on what spell she should cast next. Watching her makes me really proud. She's ice trapping rogues and killing enemy flag runners with ease. An example: Beowulfa is chasing two enemy runners as they sprint towards her flag. She had been out in the middle and they are running up the 'tunnel'(that main corridor that runs from your flag directly out the front of your base). Dammerung : Babe that rogue just grabbed the flag you should shoot him. Dammerung : Babe that rogue is about to sap you and you should focus on him not that hunter. Beowulfa : Babe that rogue is an icicle now. Beowulfa : And now the hunter is dead, his pet is banished, and Susan has just been handed a roguecicle as a treat. Beowulfa : So go awa...

I do not write in pink. I write in purple, the color of kings. I have revisited WSG and have finally triumphed over the Alliance scum! I would like to think it was because I allowed my baser nature to come out and lead me out from my heretofore defensive position and into a more aggressive, offensive role. The thrill of the chase! The excitement of sighting the enemy! The triumph as you send your pet after your mark and your deadly arrows star to rain down upon him. The sinking realization that a warlock has spotted you and has cursed you with as many curses as their fell kind have knowledge of. The desperate volleys you send after the warlock, seeking to inflict as much damage as you can. Serpent Sting, Arcane Shot, Concussive Shot, you fuzzily try to remember what else to fire. Then, as you approach your last breath you plant a freezing trap, hoping that it might ensnare someone. As your eyes close you see it catch one of the enemy! With a smile on your face you succumb t...
