So I decided after almost one year off to dive back into to World of Warcraft. Wow, I missed so much and I have actually missed playing it. So with this new SoR (scroll of resurrection) I was able to level my 62 warrior toon straight to 80.

So what I did to get back into the familiarity of the game is go to a new server and start some Horde characters. I have never played the horde and since I have started playing again I thought now was a good time to check it out. So I first created a Blood Elf Mage. At first I thought this was a fun toon to play. However, when I got up to about level 15 I started doing some battle grounds and felt like I was just getting my ass handed to me left and right. I do not even know how much damage I was doing. Did not seem like a lot that is for sure. So I changed it up and rolled up an Orc Rogue. Now so far this has been really fun. Last night I hit level 13 and did a few battle grounds with some decent results. My main issue is I am still low level to get some good (blue level) gear and weapons. Over the next couple of nights I do hope to hit 15 and start doing some dungeons.

More to follow next week.

So in the last couple of days I have been working hard on my hunter. As of earlier today I was about the mid 42 level mark. I hit 42 last night while I was doing some quest runs. I usually try to get in at least one battleground activity in a night. It still is so interesting to me. Between PvE and PvP is a huge difference. Last two times was pretty intense. I got some kills in and some deaths of my own. The tricky Horde rogues are a tough bunch to beat.

Here is an image from last night:

In some other news, I started a druid today while I was playing at lunch. I can only do so much with my hunter on a limited time scale. I actually like the druid. Made it to level 3 (which is really not hard to do when your starting off). Meanwhile my level 15 rogue just sits around Stormwind doing pretty much nothing. (Not much work right now)  My goal is to get my hunter to 55 by September.  Not sure that will happen with school starting up for the boys and my lack of sleep catching up to me.

Tonight I’m sure if I have the time to get some more XP on the hunter and maybe a new level or two on the druid.

Since I finally hit level 40 with my Hunter I had a quest -  “The Battle for Arathi Basin!“  So last night I figured now that I was at a level 40 I would go ahead and try it out.  I have never done any PvP with this toon and up until level 31 I was on a PvE server.  So I jumped in feet first and holy cow what a different experience that was.  It was nothing short of Chaos.  However with the chaos, it was a lot of fun.  It’s too bad that no one really communicates and decides what area to hit next.  On the quest front I was able to get 2 of the 4 sections knocked out of the way.  So maybe tonight or this weekend sometime I will jump back in and try to get the other ones and get some more honor points.

When I first moved my toon to PvP I couldn’t really see or should I say I didn’t think that it would be for me.  However I’m glad at this point I did transfer my character to this server.  I had a blast in battle grounds and now look forward to doing these more often while I continue my leveling up on my quest to level 80.

Yesterday marks a great day for my toon in World of Warcraft. Some may not see this as a huge event, but I don’t care, I DO. I finally hit level 40 with my Hunter. Wow it’s has taken a lot of time but I did it. I was so excited I went and bought some new gear and leveled up my hunter skills. One drawback however, I had to go all the way back to Cenarian Enclave in Darnassus. It was really OK, took a boat ride or two to get there, but was happy to learn journeyman riding skill and get my new mounts.

Here is a pic of my new gear. Yeah I know it’s nothing to really write home about but I think it looks cool and add’s a little more defense to what I had previously.

Finally made it to Iron Forge today.  This place is pretty massive I must say.  Upon entering it there were quite a few travelers and common folk running around.  As a dwarf it reminded me of my families home.  Here is how my day got started:

Earlier, South West of Iron Forge I had a few errands to run for some locals. (Trying to make some coin)  This errand took me deep into a cave with evil creatures.  At one point I had 3 coming at me at once.  I thought I wasn’t going to make it.  I finally hammered my way out past the creatures and went back to my contact to deliver his request.  After doing so, I decided it was the day I made the trek to Iron Forge.

Once I got to Iron Forge, I had to find this secret guy to deliver some reports to (remember I need to get paid, lol) and then I called it a night.  I was too busy from the all day of fighting and running to explore Iron Forge.  I went to the local Inn to call it a night.

So today I was on a mission.  “To get out of the house” hahaha..  Actually I had an agenda.  Goto Fry’s, Academy Sports, Game Stop if needed, then a haircut and then to a good friends house to help him do some web design work.

So my first stop is always the worst.  And what I mean by that is FRY’s.  It’s my candy store really….  So my main focus was to get 2 new laptop mice since one of ours died and the other one, well might as well..  Then I checked on the computer games and started looking at WoW (World of Warcraft) ..  not sure what I was thinking.  So I left with just two mice.  Next stop, Academy Sports.  While looking for some sandals, work called with a server down so while trying to check out some sandals, I had to help get the server running.  I like Academy as they have such a HUGE assortment of foot wear although I didn’t see any UGG Australia wear.  So after finding something that might work, and ran over and grabbed some new soccer shorts and I was out the door.

So, Game Stop was next and I was out of luck.  Haircut yep same deal.  Came home grabbed the laptop, headed to another Game Stop and snagged WoW and the 1st Expansion.  Then off to my friends house for a few hours and finally got my hair cut after that on the way home.    WOW..  Seemed like I was busy all day today.
