So last Friday I thought I’d try my luck and managed to get into a group for Obsidian Sanctum (Heroic) but alas we couldn’t find enough members and the group dissapated. No worries, another group for OS (Normal 10 man version) was asking for another tank so I figured, alright, I’ll go with them. Before you try to point the finger and call me a n00b keep in mind that i’ve NEVER been here on my warrior… Read the rest of this entry »

Choices, choices, choices… the predicament that we all face in World of Warcraft. With so much to do and so little time to do it in? Why is there only 24 hours per day? Why can’t we play during maintenance hours? Well, for all you completists out there, Wrath of the Lich King may be your death sentence. Besides the addition of regular content such as instances, Blizzard has introduced a plethora of new mounts, crafted items, and quests.

The day has finally arrived and despite my previous quarrels over not being able to get the game on the 12th in order to log in on midnight all of that didn’t matter as the game finally installed and I logged in on my warrior around 11:00AM. Before the screen even loaded I was already pushing my hotkey to mount up and ride quickly to the portal in Shattrath that leads to Stormwind.

From the mage tower in Stormwind I rode my mechastrider as fast as it could take me to the new port in the northern part of the human city. Arriving at the dock I was greeted by various other players waiting for the boat to arrive as well. The wait almost seemed eternal, the anxiety brewing within me a concoction of sorts with the ingredients of exitement, childhood christmas memories, and the cup of coffee I just chugged to stay awake due to only sleeping a few hours. Within seconds the boat arrived and about 12 players, all level 70, rode aboard on our mounts. Once the ship took sail (bearing in mind it has no sails, fact I found odd) we all looked on to the northern horizon. Read the rest of this entry »
