A Non-WoW Post

Well Last night my bro, Darth Cestual, hooked me up with the two latest racial pics for my campaign world: The Minotaurs. I already started on the female minotaur pic, and I have to say Im a little rusty, its been a while since I did the last one he sent me, but anyway here's a sneak peek, and comments or opinions would be much appreciated:

FIrst off I came into wow just wanting an RPG to play with my friends Jeff (XSSmoke) and Josh (Darth Cestual). I had heard alot of the members names from Halo 2 or from MTGO (By the way we need to play a couple of Magic Dan). Now over these last 55 levels I have made some friends, and gotten to know alot of you in way that I never thought possible thru a video game. So as I have done before I do again because I am white and Nerdy, I need to throw some shout outs.

The Burning Crusade

I have found myself anticipating the new expansion pack for WoW: The Burning Crusade. I have read all the articles, studied up on the new profession, watched the preview trailer a dozen times........November can not arrive soon enough. Jewelcrafting and Socket Items.......New Instances.........Illidan from WarCraft 3...... A true Blizzard fans dream come true. Blood Elves as Horde, ZOMG Im geeking out. Being able to play a Shammy as Alliance, WOOT. I pre-ordered my copy, and I hardly ever pre-order anything. The entire concept of Blizzard's taking Diablo 2 System and Meshing it with the Characters and story plot of WC3 and WC3FT always intrigued me, but when I actually played it at Smokes house......I had to get it, and now with the expansion pack coming out, and actually being able to play an Elven Mage, OMG. I mean WTF Nelf's can't play mages what kind of crap is that. Anyway, I think the expansion pack is going to improve upon an already stupendous game, and give the HS 60's new opportunities to advance and push their Toons to new limits. So come this novemeber let the Burning Crusade PWNage begin.

Revenge is so, so, sweet

As some of you know, I'm not big on the WoW BG's. They're prolly something I'm going to have to just suck it up and do, prolly around level 49, so I can get my Honor built up and all that jazz. However ganking outside of BG's Im all about, especially when it is a case of revenge. Examples: One Night we (Silverynight, Xorlin, and Flarex) were making out way thru STV, when we came across a group of three horde (low level 40's to high 30's) ganging up and killing Alliance toons. Well all I can say is they didn't do too well when the Fight was fair, as pets tore flesh from bone, arrows flew straight and true, and shadow damage was being flung like snowballs in winter. My first encounter with gank revenge was in Darkshire, I was coming out of the Ogre Camp when all of a sudden, BAM I was stunned. I was like WTF, then BLAM BLAM, half my hit points were missing and a Troll Rogue was standing behind my toon, and with quick jabs he finished the job. I ran back to my body, rezed, healed, and immediately activated my Track Hidden. OHHH what is this, a blip on my screen and he's moving in.... HUNTERS MARK, SERPENT STING, PET ATTACK GO. OHHH whats wrong Mr. Rogue, didn't your snifty little Rogue ability work , and the I proceeded to chase him all the way back to STV. Anyway, as of lately the ganking is as frequent, until I was in Hinterlands the other day. I was slaying Green and Jade Oozes, I was mid fight with a Jade when all of a sudden Im encased in ice up to my knees.......Oh look a level 54 Troll Mage, taking my lvl 45 ass on when Im fighting a level 47 ooze, ummm I'm glad that you found a challenging opponent at the most opportunistic time. I died of course, ran back to my body expecting to see a mage standing over it, no mage good, I'll rez heal and call my pet. I got to the healing part, when all of a sudden I see an arrow fly into my screen and nail my toon in the noggin. WTF, Ahhhhhh a Raptor mauling me........a god damned orc hunter, must call my pet.....bloop...dead. Run back to my body AGAIN. Ok now Im pissed, killed by a level 42 Orc Hunter, no not going to happen. Humanoid Tracking, summon pet, and we're going to go find his ass. Ohh look there he is, DOODI ATTACK...........Ok his raptor is attacking but he aint doing jack, just standing there, he must be AFK..............MWWHHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHHAHAHA. Ohh its so wrong, but it feels so good. Ohh wait warrior coming in, get my mount, run, lol he cant catch up. Well about that time Estevez, Hunter Supreme,showed up, and me an him spent the next 20 minutes hunting all the hoarde in the area. We killed that Mage, and a Troll Priest, and that Hunter. I think by the end of the run I had 9 Honorable Kills for the day..... god Revenge is so very very sweet.

The Horde on Agamaggan

After the attack on redridge last night, alot of thoughts were running thru my mind. Helter Skelter was there in force (Shilow, Lahaasil, Nawnek, Xorlin), as we usually are when a guildie is being camped or generally harassed by the hoarde. But not very many other alliance members had shown up until after the carnage had ended.  I understand, from what I've heard, that the alliance is out numbered by the hoarde on our server, but I had another realization as well. From my background in SciFi/Fantasy, and my experience in one day wanting to be a paper and pencil rpg designer, that there is something totally and completely wrong with the Agamaggan world. In all other rpg instances Orcs, Trolls, and the likes are disorgainized imbeciles, but agamaggan I have to say is Bizarro world. The Horde from my experiences, are a close knit fine oiled and tuned machine of destruction. On the battlefield they can implement battle strategies and tactics that would have the master chief stand and salute, while the Alliance is filled with dolts and morons who stand around picking their noses with their thumb up their ass (I'm excluding helter skelter from this, because all the instances I've ran with we had good planning and execution with the occasional nobody's faul blunder). So I ask what in the hell is wrong with the Alliance on this server, very seldom do I actually see someone stoping to help when the Hoarde attacks. 60's run by when Im trying to save some level 32 in STV from 2 or 3 hoarde. WTF.... From what I understand the BG's arent much different. So, I guess the only thing that we can do is lead by example, and keep lending a helping hand where it is needed. And hopefully we can at least bind together as the Alliance should and keep those damned horde in check.
