Stormwind Invasion!

Okay, so not so much an invasion as a body hop fest for me and two of my guildmates Tuesday night. I made a post about it yesterday but Blogger decided to be stupid and not allow me to actually post.

It started out with a random person I was grouped with asking to run Stockades for the Achievement. I immediately jumped at the chance being the Achievement Whore that I am. However, that person bailed out and I was left still wanting to run into the Alliance capitol city. So I asked my guild. Three joined up with me. Yes, there were only four of us. And we were all under 60. Nice. The fourth amigo went offline at one point so we did it with only three of us. Woo!

There was a lot of dying and a lot of laughter. Why not? It was so incredibly crazy of us to storm Stormwind without a full party much less a full raid. And under 70? Madness! It was awesome. It's the crazy memories like these that is so excellent and make this game so worthwhile to me. Blahblah sentimental blabber. But it is. It's these goofy things that keep me playing. I am far too casual to be Hardcore and Serious all the time. Moar funeez plz kthxbai!



We made it into Stormwind and past all the guards and through the Trade district. But I had made an error in judgement and we ended up on the wrong side from the instance! Oops. So I took a moment to dance before I died and while waiting for my mates to run to their corpses. While dancing I was surrounded by Night Elves. Those crazy Elves! One of them decided to stealth right in front of me and then stab me in the back. What a party pooper!

But finally, after dying about a hundred times we made it! We rushed the instance and I was killed immediately. I'm squishier than my mates even when we're all naked but for our tabards! We ran the instance finally and got our achievements!

It was truly one of the best nights I've ever had in-game. Truly Epic Fun!

Enjoying the New Stuff and Hallow's End

I gave Toie a makeover. I was reluctant to change anything about her because I loved the way she looked but the temptation and the Achievement was too strong!

These Achievements are thrilling. I have an excuse to explore every inch of the maps that I possibly can. I always wanted to do so but never had a real reason to follow through. But now I do. Rhymes! So I have been wandering around scared out of my wits of the Alliance territories and running away for dear life at almost every town border. It does not help that I am on a PvP server. :P I think that only adds a sense of excitement to the whole World Explorer Achievement.

I am extremely excited about the runs into the Classic Raids. I am not yet 60 but I hope to be before the expansion so hopefully I will be able to do some. Does anyone else ever have a sense of being TOO far behind? It goes with the whole bouncing from alt to alt to server to server thing. Not that I regret my happy lowbie times but now I'm ready to catch up! It's so hard. And I get so much crap for being a lowbie. Leave us alone, even you started out low at one point. :P

Hallow's End has begun! I am loving it so far. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I was very eager for this year's Hallow's End event. Toie is running around with a tree frog and a witch costume.

I was able to jump into it as soon as it started on my server. How lucky I am my night off from work was the night this event started! I have been flying from inn to inn trying to finish Tricks and Treats of Eastern Kingdoms. I am extremely upset that I won't be able to finish that side because one of the inns is in Eastern Plaguelands. I suppose I will have to find an escort somewhere. lol Kalimdor is harder for me personally as I haven't spent as much time on that continent.

I suggest, for those who are lowbies like me and don't have many connections or a 70 already, go to the inns on the continent you have spent the most time on. It will be much easier for you to just fly from FP to FP because at each flight path there is most likely an inn you have to visit. Oh! Good news! At inch inn when you get the candy you get XP! So far I have finished my grind from halfway through 46 to about five bars into 47 just by collecting candy. I've gotten anywhere between 2800 and 3000 xp at each inn. I have yet to figure out how to make myself throw up for that achievement. And wouldn't you know my server would do a rolling restart just as I wanted to look up what that achievement actually is! The irony!

My favorite costume, so far, is the Wisp. I tried the Ninja but I hate the human females.

Happy Halloween! Happy tricks and treats!
