I would apologise for being absent, but I doubt anyone would really care, and apparently you’re not supposed to do that… so I won’t bother.
I haven’t abandoned WoW, I’d just rather spend the time *playing* rather than writing about playing, if you know what I mean.
Over the last, hmm… three (?) weeks I’ve picked up a bit of the achievements bug. Not much else to do when you don’t have a huge amount of time to spend in the game – boy am I glad they brought these in!
First off I did enough dailies to finally get my 100 cooking awards achievement:
along with having finally done the rest of the achievements for my Chef title:
Why yes, yes that is the Zhevra mount you get from the refer-a-friend “arrangement”. I bit the bullet and got a second account to level up some characters. I have a plan! So far my twins have got to 19:
So – the plan. I have a shaman that is sat idling at level 21 and has been for some time and a pally that is sitting at level 27. My plan is to get my twins to 21, then drop out the druid on my main account (which it shares with the shammy and pally), couple druid2 with the shammy till they hit 26, then drop the shammy for the pally to 60. Then I can give the shammy the 30 ‘free’ levels to have it leveled up too. Here’s the details on what the R-A-F campaign does.
That just scratches the surface with what I’ve been doing, but I figured I won’t bore you with the rest… at least not for now!
It’s over four years since I started playing WoW, and though I love the way things have improved in the game (outfitter-thingy and dual-specs… HELLOO you should have been there from the start!), there are some things that I like to reminisce about…
- It took me about 3 hours to get to level 6 on my first ever character, my druid. I was so proud of myself!
- I leveled as balance before moonkin was even introduced, when there was practically no itemisation for it. Not that I’d have a clue what ‘itemisation’ meant back then.
- I stood dancing on IF bridge the day moonkin was introduced, and I adored all the questions about it.
- I had never tried feral.
- I did Scholomance and Stratholme as 10-mans with my guildies.
- I got upset when they cut them down to being 5-man only.
- I was the innervate bot in our MC runs, before there such a thing as the Tree of Life (and when innervate was rubbish).
- I was at every single Onyxia raid, and the one time I wasn’t my Stormrage Cover dropped.
- I used to raid 3-4 nights a week.
- I only twice figured out where to stand in the Raggy fight so I wouldn’t die from being thrown into the air.
These are just a few I thought of earlier when I was in BA chat.There are many more where that comes from!
Thanks to Llanion for reminding me of the good ol’ days, and Leafy for telling me just to write it, even though this post is just a few lines long. 
Ahhh thanks Copra, another meme! Not exactly wow-ish but I like it!
