Farewell*





Well, with the departure of some of my friends and guild mates on Quel'dorei I feel that I no longer possess the drive to continue this blog. *It was fun while it lasted and who knows... if I transfer to another realm this blog just might pick back up :)

Day 4... Fail


That picture is all I can really describe today as. I got halfway to 67 then had an old friend (Tzia from Have Bow Will Travel ) pop on my server to say hi. Of course after that I hopped on her server and chatted the night away while playing around on my lvl 5 mage. So nothing tonight, sorry about that :).


FOR THE NEXT 4 WEEKS

I will be flying back home to Seattle, Wa and will not be playing/blogging as much as I have been. I will try to update every so often, the blog wont die and i will return!


Thus ends our day of fail. Hopefully tomorrow will be better :)

Day 3... I'm a Little Pally

Greetings everyone! Nothing really big happened today in WOW, got a new shield (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31200), new boots (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23487), and a new tabard (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23192). I also achieved level 66 and keeping on track for 70 by this Friday. I have noticed something that i think blizzard has purposely done when placing the mobs in their game. They made it so the most you could grab at one time in the open is 3 to 6. They are placed just far enough to where if you try to pick up a 7th you get 2 or 3 of them evade bug and run back to their starting position. This might not seem bad, but as an AOE Pally it irritates the crap out of me. The way AOE Paladins work is, No matter how many mobs there are it takes me the same amount of mana to kill them. The amount of mana needed to kill one thing is equal to the amount of mana it takes me to kill 10 things. So obviously I want to get the most bang for my buck correct? Well Blizzard obviously thought that might be a little op with so many AOE paladins running around, so i think that they made the mob's JUST far enough to avoid a total lack of mob spawns at all, for a short period of time. That was my only real gripe for today. I finished Zangarmarsh ( my favorite zone in outlands T_T) and continued on to Terrokar Forrest.

On a serious not though, today was a frightening day for my family. My Grandfather was hospitalized in the I.C.U. today. He wasn't feeling well all morning and when he went to take laundry out of the dryer, he had a dizzy spell and vomited blood. When he went to walk to the phone to call 911 he collapsed and was unable to get up. He had fought cancer and won before so my family and I became worried about the possibility of a return. Well the doctors dropped a scope to check stuff out inside of him and it turns out he has a pretty bad ulcer. He's been drinking his old life (crazy old Italian :) and it wore out the bottom part of his esophagus, therefore making it more susceptible to his stomach acids. They are putting him on medication for his ulcer and throat, and he should be good to go. My family and i just thank God it wasn't Cancer again.

So all in all today was a day of thrills and chills, more for ya'll tomarrow!

Day 2... The Joys of AOE

Hello again! Today was pretty interesting to say the least. I tried to really test the limits to my protection spec and grabbing multiple enemies at once. All i can say is... wow. This is seriously the most fun I've had leveling ANY of my characters. I literally went into the Boglord cave in Zangarmarsh, pulled half the cave, and mowed down 10-15 same level mobs in about a minute. I have never had the ability to do that before, and I must say im starting to like it :). On a side note I want to say this:



If You Are A Stealth Class (Rogue, Druid)

DO NOT ASSUME WE CAN ALL SEE YOU IN STEALTH!

I had a rogue get pissed at me because I "Stole" his named mob when he was supposedly stealthed sitting 5 yards away. All I have to say about that is, "Why was the mob not being attacked the 5 seconds it was sitting there?". In my mind if the mob isn't being attacked and no one is VISIBLE, it's fair game. Don't get me wrong here, I don't like stealing kills (unless you're alliance >:P) but I'm also not going to wait all day, check my email, cook my dinner, then MAYBE getting around to writing you an invitation to attack a mob. I don't play all that much at once and I tend to make the most of my time. If you're in the way at the wrong time, I'm sorry but I'm mowing through you :(.

That was really all that happened today, got to level 65 and aiming at 70 by Saturday. On a side note however, I just found out that Big Red Kitty has his own Podcast. This REALLY excites me as he is one of the more interesting people that play this game :) you can see this at Http://www.bigredkitty.net

Until Tomorrow!

Day 1... where to begin?


Well today marks my first attempt at blogging. I figure that I'll write about the journeys and escapades of my Blood Elf paladin tank, Jaska, through Outland and Northrend. To start off this blog i should say a little about myself. My name is Chris, i live in Tacoma Washington, I'm 19 years old and pursuing a career in engineering. I've been playing wow for over a year now. I've played a warlock, hunter, paladin, warrior, mage, and shaman. This will mark the first attempt at tanking I've preformed and should provide many "lulz" and "ROFL" along the way. feel free to laugh at my noobishness but if you comment please keep it somewhat decent :)

Thanks,
Rivey
