I pay for my account through game cards I buy from my workplace. I get two months at once so that I'm able to pay bills and only have to worry about keeping up my habit hobby every five paychecks.

Today my time ran out. I knew it would soon. But today I do not have a game card to type in so I can happily finish my way to 70(I'm three bars from 65). So I am a little bummed and a little aggravated with myself. But RL>WoW and there are bills to be paid, food stuffs to be bought and other things to worry over that have nothing to do with my addiction fun play time.

I have been talking with my guild mates about raiding for the achievements. I am so addicted to getting as many as I can. I keep hearing different stories about all the raids being 10 or 25 mans now. Does this apply to the classic raids? I keep hearing that Onyxia is a 10 man but then some say it is still a 40 man. my little guild with our few higher levels can pull together a small raid but a ginormous 40 man? Yeah right!

I have to find out more information about this. Fortunately I get most of my answers from WoW Ladies on Livejournal.

Let's see... I have been having issues with all the Death Knights. I hate them. I love them but I hate them. There seems to be a huge amount of dumb Death Knight players. It's really annoying to get into a party and it's full of Death Knights. My little Warlock cannot stay alive entirely by herself, she tries and is generally successful(especially now that I've switched back to Affliction - Soul Link FTW!) but with four idiots running around pulling entire rooms full of elites?. No. And then the Alliance players who do nothing but gank. My body was camped yesterday while trying to complete a quest for Scryer's rep. Thankfully the idiot got bored and went to kill two basilisks while I sat in ghost form. I made sure he was busy, res'd hopped on my new Dreadsteed and ran away. I am really not that fond of Death Knights of either faction right now. Though I do love the starter area for them. Being evil is awesome.

Oh? I didn't talk about getting my Dreadsteed! I was all up for doing the quest despite it being trainable. I had all the easy parts completed I just needed to get into Scholomance and then Dire Maul West. I saved up 150 more gold just to buy all the reusable items myself since I was unable to get a Warlock that actually still has them. I gathered my guildies and an old leveling buddy and we headed off. In the middle of Scholo I realized I forgot my Imp in a Jar. WTF! I panicked, summoned myself and ran to the bank. BUT! I forgot there was a bank in Shattrath where I'm hearthed and ran all the way to Org. It took me one second too long to grab the Imp and click the summon button. I felt stupid. So stupid. And I was SO embarrassed to be such a dummy in front of my guild mates. So I messed up my quest. I messed up the day for my guild mates. Ugh, so horrible. I know we could have regrouped but I was so ashamed I just wanted to log out and forget about playing ever again. I'm a Drama Queen what can I say?

I sat, humiliated and embarrassed in Orgrimmar. I talked to another leveling buddy about what happened and he sympathized. I was totalaly disheartened. But in the end it was all figured out and I ended up just buying my Dreadsteed and canceling my quest. I replaced the Dark Iron a friend donated to me. I am out a couple hundred gold but all is well.

I love my guild leader and my guild mates. They rock. Even if some of them think I'm a complete ditz. :P


This was taken in Undercity because I love it more than any other Capitol. I may play a pretty Blood Elf but my allegiance is the to the Dark Queen and her Forsaken. :) I need to figure out some sort of storyline about that...

Achievements!

I suck at updating this!

My Warlock is sitting at two bars to dinging 57. I've been AHing everything in sight so that I can buy the riding skill at 60. I don't think I can come up with 500 gold in time. Oh well!

The 3.0.3 patch changes are alright. I do NOT like that they made the Dreadsteed quest obsolete. The Dreadsteed is now a trainable spell just like everything else. What next? Are all the demons going to be simply trainable and the in-game experience as well as the personal experience going to just go out the window? I am irritated.

If the quest is still doable I am going to do it. I missed out on so much mucking about with twenty thousand alts. I fully intend to do this quest chain and feel better for it. I will not be ex-mode lock of lulz! I have collected some of the mats and have talked with another warlock about using his reusable mats from his chain. Hopefully he will stick to his promise otherwise I will be out of luck and have to save even more gold. Do you know how hard it is for me to save gold when I love to buy things? This is a problem I have in real life too. lol

I got the achievement for finishing off Lower Black Rock Spire. The Dreadmist Bracers dropped for me! It was astonishing. I wasn't even aware of what they were. But when my group pressed them upon me I smiled. Yay me! Then I looked on the official website and realized... DUH! Dungeon One Warlock Set. One of two armor sets I have drooled over.

And then it hit me. I have sat and read about all the dungeons, raids, armor sets and wished I was high enough to experience more than just starter zones. But I just couldn't help but hop from alt to alt to server to server. But now, I have a character close to 60 and I am able to enter these zones, instances and soon raids(old school but raids nonetheless) that I have always thought about. I can collect the gear and run around and not be called a nub/loser/whatever because I'm only level -30.

And I am GOOD at what I do. I don't think I'm the best. But I am proud of my DPS and the way I can handle myself in most situations. I still kinda suck at PVP which is horrible being on a PVP server - when I am taken by surprise out in the world I usually die hard and quick, battlegrounds I can usually hold my own though. I was complemented on my ability and willingness to follow directions and asking questions if I didn't understand by the tank and the priest in my LBRS group. They talked to me about the possibility of raiding when I get higher. This is the second time this particular priest has mentioned raiding. I am flattered. I would love to raid. I would love to say, "Yeah, we just knocked down Kael last night." I would love it. But my schedule is tight and would get in the way of serious raiding. I'd love to be on their alt list though!

I have just discovered the awesomeness of WoWInsider. Yes, I am a tool for not knowing about it. I've heard about it but never paid much attention. All my resources and information I gather from wow_ladies on livejournal. They are an awesome group, for those that might be curious.


Oh! I almost forgot! I showed my noobyboobyness in LBRS by falling not once! but TWICE! into holes in the floor. The first time I got too excited about fighting and just ran forward... At least I was close enough to soak up the experience. I felt very foolish but no one yelled. The second time was on the dragon-y boss(yeah, I forgot his name) where I moved too far to the side and fell right as we downed him. I felt very foolish again.

Ah well. Noob happens!
