Muffled Noise

So as many of you know, I finally gave in to the call of the wild (i.e. the inner game-lover) and started playing WoW. As some of you know, I’ve been avoiding it for the longest time because I recognize the said game as a dark vortex that sucks out your sou— cial life. The beginning of the end. The end, you hear me?

Like an old man scribbling out his dying days, I shall blog about my first days in Azeroth. Okay srsly enough with the drama. (Lame) screenies for everyone!

As a personal rule in MMORPGs, I only play support or tank. Since there seemed to be too many tanks in the guild I was joining, I started out as a Night Elf priest. It was okay, I got the hang of it playing this character. I hit level 10 or so in a couple of days then, after some account issues, I restarted as a Human priest.

Before I continue, don’t judge me for choosing Alliance! I’ve heard it all! And after playing for a couple of weeks I think I get what all you Horde folks mean. *WINK WINK*

So anyway, Human priest. The starting town was way more fun to be in, and Stormwind was awesome— You walk in the Valley of Heroes and awesome music plays, it has the grand entrance and all. Had a bunch of firsts from that point on… My first gryphon ride:

My first instance, the Deadmines:

My first tram ride from Stormwind:

And then there’s Ironforge:

A friend toured me through here, the land of the Dwarves, and it’s even more epic than Stormwind. I love the design of the city, like a fortress, like a machine of awesomeness. Check it out:

Obviously my screenies aren’t all that awesome, I’m using an old low-specs laptop here at the hotel. I cannot wait to get home to my gaming PC and fire up all the settings!

Aaaaand that brings us to today. Today, almost hitting 21. Today, maintenance (which is the only reason I’m not playing). Today, the day we decided…

…to move to Horde. HAHAHA.

In fact I just got back from buying The Burning Crusade, so I can rock a Blood Elf of awesomeness.

So concludes this indulgent blog post. I think I can still manage to keep a healthy social life, and get enough sleep. I only play 1-4 hours a day, including lunch breaks (1 on days when we go out)… except on weekends, I think I play for at least 8 hours. So don’t give up on me yet. I may not be ruined just yet *shakes fist trimphantly* :D
