4th & Dragon : Dungeons and Dragons...and stuff

Yeah but I got rid of WoW for mine, too addicting.

It certainly is too addicting. There are 3 kinds of WoW players:

Addicted and know it
Addicted and don’t know it
Completely casual

If you’re grinding PVP on a daily basis, or raiding 3-4 times a week, you’re not casual. =)

I would have to go with was Addicted and Knew it but after a Three month stint of casual play followed by an account freeze I am back as a casual player.  No more 14 hours of WoW.

I get a gym membership via my school plus my weights at home and then my wife forcing me to play wii fit and ddr with her quite often helps reshape my Body By WoW I got a year ago.

OK, so I picked up my copy at midnight, Wednesday/Thursday, it was pretty cool, I got there at about 10:30, got my number in line, then went to the pub (their words not mine (I’da called it a bar)) ordered a beer, heard some like minded people talking about WoW and had a few beers with them as we waited.  About 11:30 we left and walked in front of the 100ish people that were in line and picked up our copies.

So now I am 72.5 and leaving Borean Tundra behind me and racing for Howling Fjord.

How is everyone else doing?

Well i got my Rogue up to 70 before Wrath. So I have three 70s on Kilrogg.  I picked my copy up late thursday afternoon.  About a week ago my friends wanted me to come back to Eredar but I didn’t want to xfer and then have them not be on ever lol.

So i started leveling my Paly who I had left at 36 on eredar.  I just hit 71 about 2 hours ago. 

I have a DK soaking up rest on Eredar and am waiting till my three 70s on kilrogg have full rest.  Then i plan to rest cycle them through.

On Eredar we got our first 80 this morning between 4am-8am Central time.  I think there are a few more now but less than 5 if i am keeping an updated track.

I started in Howling Fjord to pick up the quests for Utgard because my aforementioned friends were supposed to run that last night, but that didn’t happen so then I decided to go check out the Borean Tundra.  Almost finished there.  BTW I started Northend as 68 which is why I am almost done and just now 71. 

Hope to get into a dungeon run with my friends tonight but if not I will just keep on chugging right on up the ladder.

Lightbender- 73 Blood Elf Retribution paladin Maelstrom (Been ret since patch 2.3, so I’m not a bad ret ^^)
Thererris- 70 Undead Fire Mage Maelstrom

Leveling my pally first, skipped Howling Fjord, and did every quest I could find in Borean Tundra.

Did Utgard Keep last night.  Pretty fun little instance.  A group of geared 70s can clear it in thirty minutes fast.

We did it with a 68 druid tank(first time ever tanking) who was a little under geared for Northrend. Myself a 72 Retnoob which i was surprised to see that I led the dps charts.  My buddy a 70 Ele Shaman who dinged before the first boss.  A 70 Demo Lock(under geared).  My enhancement shaman buddy who specced back to Resto(under geared a little bit with only 555 spell power). 

It took us about 2 hours and 5 wipes.  Problems were the gear level on one dps, rusty healer and brand new tank that was under level.  The first boss is simple enough if you make sure you target the frost tombs right away(read just like chains in Illhoof).  Second Boss is a Romeo Julian Fight where you get a CAster and a random charger.  Once you know to stand on top of the tank just like in the first boss it goes pretty smoothly.  Last boss is the easiest but is a two phase fight just got to watch his cast bar and avoid the one that affects you.

I am finsihing up Howling fjord Quests now.  I did all of Borean Tundra except two Escorts that I didn’t feel like waiting to pick up.  Went back to Howling Fjord and am finishing that up.

I leveled my pally to 36 as holy and then respecced to try ret out after the changes.  I am thinking about respeccing Prot for some AoE grinding.

Any of you do the Nexus or any other dungeons yet?

I did nexus and UK with geared ppl with 2 of my characters it when quite smoothly. They are fun instance just long enough to be fun and not boring, the boss fights are interesting they all got so kinda of simple strategy you need to use. I am leveling my BE DK atm, shes 63 but i plan on leveling her fast, i love that class i migth make it my main.

Well, the people I did UK with were pretty much full t5/t6 out.... so everything was just AoE pull/tank and spank, no matter what it did.

Violet Hold is fun, basically is Black Morass 2.0

So Last night Renascent Completed Naxx 25 which was a realm first.  They hold the record of most of our 80 first as well.

I am going to hit 80 today, but my realm is down at the moment.  Time to level one of my lvl 70 kilrogg alts.

Roll Initiative (yes, I know) is the guild that got the first server completion of naxxramas, and that occurred two days ago. My guild has exactly 6 level 80’s so far, everyone is so slow....

The most cherished picture on my computer:

(x2)

That’s kind of the way I felt when I canceled my City of Heroes account.

You mean that feeling where all of the sudden you remember what outside looks like again? Refreshing isn’t it?

Yeah I find these MMO’s to be like crack. I have never played WoW, I managed to avoid that disaster, but I have fallen victim to EQ, EQ2,Earth and Beyond,Eve Online, Star Wras Galaxies, Anarchy Online, City of Heroes, and Age of Conan. Don’t get me wrong its an amazing thing to log into a virtual world and play an open ended adventure, but the amount of time it seems to gobble up at break neck speeds is mind blowing.
