Our Return to World of Warcraft


fter some long and hard debating, Alice and I have returned to the World of Warcraft. We had a number of reasons for thinking about doing so, and it started from talking about how Mists of Pandaria didn't make sense oddly enough, but then it also brought up that Blizzard might also be improving on the aspects of WoW that we liked, so we ended up trying to look for some trials we didn't use to see how the game would be after so much time passed. We had some trials that Blizzard sent out for the release of 4.2 however when I tried to activate mine it turns out that the link wasn't existent anymore, so we didn't have anything else to fallback on other than that. That led us to purchasing a full 1 month subscription and using the Scroll of Resurrection on me where I will also purchase 1 month during that time. In any case, that leads us to where we are today and why I haven't posted much, we've been changing our regular games quite frequently now but as of now, we're back in WoW. These are basically a few things of what we've done so far.

-Leveled to 19 on new mains, I am a Goblin Warrior, and Alice is a Goblin Mage
-Fished up Ol' Crafty again in Orgrimmar which was really lucky on my part
-Found out that while Blizzard seems to have cut back on “twinks” (player characters that basically have the best equipment in a lower than endgame level) they also seemed to have enforced/supported twinks at the same time through Heirloom equipment.-
-Found out that Bind on Account items cannot be sent across servers
-Were astounded by a member of a random dungeon group we were grouped with which I won't go into further detail about at the moment, but may possibly later
-Were able to see the improvements on the Goblin starting zone from the beta, mostly in that they added a cut scene, and they fixed the “Town-in-a-box” which used to literally be surrounded by an invisible wall, making it impossible to get in without managing to climb the wall
-Lastly we quested farther than we have in the past on the post Cataclysm Horde side, our previous highest levels before then were 73 Paladins.

So far I'm really liking the quest lines because it's interesting to see how some characters are warlike like Garrosh or more civilized and “new Hordelike”, the ones that were basically more like Thrall and to an extent, Grom Hellscream, and I'm interested to see how the quests will progress and if the two distinct faces of the Horde will clash, I've heard about the Thunder Bluff predicament of course, but other than that I'm pretty much unaware of there will be any more tension within the horde.

That about wraps up what we've been doing lately, we will still also be involved with League of Legends to an extent, but we've added World of Warcraft into the games that we're primarily playing right now.
