Shared Topic: How has WoW changed your life?
AHing SR Style.
In trying to keep my promise to post more often, here is my responce to this week’s current topic from Blog Azeroth!
How has WoW changed your life?
For me WoW has changed my life in a few major ways.
1.) I met my current GF/squeeze/ball and chain via WoW! (Cheesy yes I know) She is my light, and also a smelly warlock! Lyssianna 
Before meeting her I was perfectly fine in being a bachelor for life!
2.) Also thanks to WoW I have met some awesome people in game that I may have never ordinarily have met! So my guildmates in Shadow Rising – here’s to hopefully a metric boatload of many wipes, wins, and picking on Sorak now and in the future!
3.) I would have never thought to put my thoughts into a blog format, although I dont get a lot of hits, it is quite enjoyable to write. 
Pre MoP checklist and Shared Topic
With the MoP release date being old news, I have been thinking what are somethings I would like to get done in a pre-MoP Azeroth.
1.) Get the new hunter to 85 (currently 80) and hopefully with some decent gear.
2.) 10000 HK on my priest! (almost there!)
3.) Get the baby Shaman to 85 (currently 82)
4.) Level up the new Alliance Warlock with Lyssianna! I forgot how much “weaker” one is without Heirlooms!
5.) Once 5.0 hit, get the SR crew together for a raid test run to play with the new talent system.
6.) Get in on some RBG action with Navimie!
7.) Maybe some 2s or 3s in arena? Big maybe here.
8.) Play more beta when I can.
9.) Blog more often….
10.) More exercise!!!!!
11.) Check in on Blog Azeroth more often and check out the shared topics section.
And for the current Shared Topic!
“Are you playing the MoP Beta? Why or why not? How much time are you spending there vs. the “live” servers.”
I admit i have not played as much beta as I could. Been spending more time on live then beta.
Why?
1.) I don’t like losing progress.
2.) I sort of want to not have all of MoP spoiled for me.
3.) NO ADDONS
4.) Takes away from time I could be getting stuff done on Live.
5.) Can’t make gold that I can keep!
6.) Things change on the beta.
Why I should play more beta:
1.) More familiarity with MoP system of talents.
2.) Know the best path to level faster.
3.) See more of Pandaria!
4.) Pet Battles!
5.) It’s something different!
6.) Get used to MoP healing.
Slice is feeling nostolgic….
Arv and Rep….living up the Belf stereotype since 2008
Arv’s Best FRIEND! Arv he misses you…you should accept his FB friend request!
Magic!
Take the Magic: The Gathering ‘What Color Are You?’ Quiz.
Hmmmm….I guess so….
Guess that is why I play Priests and pallys in WoW….
BTW gonna kick Sorak’s and Rep’s arse this weekend in a 7 person Magic draft. Innistrad block!
Catching the WoW bug again….
Caught the WoW bug again….having no computer for a week really makes one realize that you are missing out.
Thanks to posts from Repgrind, Arvash,Frostwolves, and others I really want to play WoW again and raid, PvP, level etc.
The new PC should be here today, so tonight I reinstall WoW and D3…yay more downloading…
Looking at the raid bosses for T14, I cannot wait to get to 90 and raid. Bosses look interesting, moreso then the snoozefest of Dragonsoul. (Maybe i should redownload the beta client as well..)
I really like their idea of 3 zones again for T14, breaks up the scenery and allows for more character in the raids. For the following tiers of raiding after 14, I hope they do not decide to do another Firelands 2.0 or a Dragonsoul 2.0.
The end of Wrath had a much more complete feel then Dragon Soul. For me, the end of Dragon Soul was very meh. Sure the cutscenes were cool, but did not have the same tension or thrill of the kill. Lich King kill > Deathwing kill. Blizzard has large boots to fill for MoP (storywise and boss wise), hopefully they can pull it off.
Things I am pumped for MoP
1.) Pet Battles – yes I said it, I like Pokemon!!!
2.) Yak mounts – nuff said.
3.) I giggle when I hear Lyssianna lament about the changes to Affliction – I guess I am kind of mean!
4.) Moogik is coming back!
5.) Monk healers (Panda of course)
6.) Account wide cheevs and mounts!
7.) Black market AH
8.) P-A-N-D-A-S!
9.) Arv busting out the toys before a raid. /thumbsup!
10.) Fayle tanking the floor again! Well perhaps it will be Zugzuug now doing it lol.
Things that worry me about MoP
1.) Healing – just like at the beginning of Cataclysm, there will be a learning curve getting used to it, but from reading online, it doesn’t sound that bad.
2.) New dungeons to heal!
3.) New Tier gear…not too thrilled on the look of the sets, especially priests…
4.) OP Monk healers…but hopefully beta will get them sorted out before live.
5.) No flying till 90 – I admit I am lazy…
6.) P-A-N-D-A-S! – well Female pandas – I hope they get more then one facial expression…
7.) Warlocks – Sorry Lyssi…I can’t help but pick fun at locks!
8.) Story of MoP – Like Cataclysm, this is another expansion that does not have a “major” lore character, that lots of people recognize, as the “main villain”. Wrath had the Lich King, Burnig Crusade had Illidan.
9.) Fayle or Zug tanking the floor too much.
10.) No Mr. GTL! /cry
My new current addiction – It’s addicting! Aitakatta
Also once again thanks to catching the WoW bug I stumbled on a new awesome blog – Cymre! Check it out! Nice layout and awesome screenshots!
Pink Pally posts!
Arv! finally made a site for his blog! Wish him luck
Why…?
Why do people take things in games so seriously….?
(these are my own opinions, if you are offended…sorry deal with it)
Why do poeple seem to complain about the silliest things?
Things I see people complain a lot about in games
1.) OMG…it’s too cute it doesn’t belong in a MMO
2.) Why does everything look so slutty….
3.) Why do the men look so gay….
4.) boob, boobs, boobs…why are they like this, so unrealistic!!!!
5.) It looks like WOW
It’s a game. It is not supposed to be realisitc. It is the company’s game not yours. If you don’t like it, then don’t play it. Want realistic gear….so outside and put some armor on and run around if you want realism. Sorry lots of men like them. Also women like eye candy as well. Why not cater toall of your customers. So what if it looks like wow….wow borrowed from EQ etc etc…..
Seriously people complain about something important, like the economy or the environment, not size of boob in MMOs…..
/end rant
