Where it all began...

Anonymous — Mon, 04/07/2008 - 17:48

 

Warning- Long, Pseudo-Personal Story Ahead.

 

 

Well it all started about 3 years ago now.

 

I was just turning 14 or so and i saw the X-play bit for WoW about the Zelda Quest and it had me hooked.

So being the young'in i was then i asked my uncle to build me a sick computer to game on and he built me an OK one. so i bought the trial disk and brought it home and installed it. I must say was quite sad when i found out that my CPU speed was too slow. So not knowing it would still run at the time i gave up. A year later when I became a mall rat/started hanging with One of my really good friends my interest was re-sparked.

 

My best friend Sam and Jeff( Barqz) both played! i was overjoyed. I was sad however knowing my comp wouldn't run it. i used to play on Sam's laptop at the mall and Jeff would come to and he showed me a t1 rouge hanging out around MC. somewhere in the midst of this i got a new computer and tried the install. Again i got the CPU speed not fast enough, but i took a chance and said Fuck It!

Turns Out, It Ran!

Within WoW i started playing horde on Sams friend Jesse's account. this didnt last logn as Jesse came back and i took Sam's second account. shortly there after i came to Gorg to play with Barqz, and then left again to play with his friend ryan. and back and forth this went. server hopping. the highest i ever got on my own was 32 and that was a UD warrior. in those days i server hopped so much just to play with my RL friends. I never really got the experince of it, untill Ryan Quit WoW. Then me and Jeff Stayed on Gorg. For Good.

 

Then i got a GF and she HATED WoW. so i played less, then played more and it went on and on. and as time went by i grew closer to the game because i played so much. all the time. -Addict-

Downfall

Barqz — Mon, 04/07/2008 - 17:12

This is my very first blog, so it may have a tendancy to be incoherent ramblings of a madman.  Today ( Monday april 7th) I find my self somewhat out of place.  I am interested  in interacting with WoW, but i don't really feel like being in game on my toon, or my alt.  In situations like these I often find myself looking at outside WoW sources of information, websites and the like.  Today I was on bosskillers to privy up on some Rage Winterchill, and Anetheron strats for LF1M's upcomming Hyjal progression.  After reading strats and watching vids, I trolled around and looked up other bosses from Archimond, to Akama, to Illidan, and man did I watch Illidan, 4 vids to be exact.  After much strat learning, I now know 1 thing, I am going to die alot on him.  Well after looking at illidan strats I noticed off to the side a list of top guilds in the world to down him, and then recent downings followed by a dropbar of all the servers in the game, so I decided to check at Gorg and see whats what.  I looked up Eternity, Oblivion, and for ego's sake us.  I was expecting us to be ranked 14-15 or so on the server with the combination of other alliance and horde guilds who are where we are.  I was pleasantly suprised to see that we are ranked 5 on the whole server, and 4 for the alliance.  This may be old news already, and to some it may be "big deal I know we are great", which is cool, but to me I think its really outstanding because I remember the Beginning.

Black Temple - Found these Interesting Parses

Cisper — Mon, 04/07/2008 - 07:48

So after doing some digging, found these Parses;

http://wowwebstats.com/ordoa2mliy4yi

It's interesting too compare how strong our melee tends to be on top for Teron Gorefiend - but apparently the melee here suck(fail sound).

By the way, if any Rogues notice anything that I can point out to them that would be sweet, aswell if any tanks could look at Attempt #14 and the ones before that, see if he had his Shield Block up - he died randomly from Crushings throughout attempts toward the end.

PS. 3% First Attempt - then Fail Afterward is suckassshit

Chronicles of Tuque - Arathi Edition

saedo — Fri, 04/04/2008 - 01:09

Heh well I kinda lost track in the old post and with 2.4 out now I will be distracted since primary focus is kinda back on dailies with the rogue. So that would skew the days against levelling this toon. So just decided to make random blurbs whenever.

So I started to quest in the Arathi Highlands, and the Horde there just wanna kill me. Well, they tried. lol

Encounter 1 - So I was killing trolls for the quest, mage starts fireballing me. I focus on him, whack him a few times with mobs still on me. He made the mistake of aoe'ing. So I bubbled and they went for him. But he ran away while I chased and we eventually lost the mobs. So back to 1 on 1. Well he couldn't kill me, I'd heal through his attacks. I rarely was able to get close to hit him w/o BoF up. Eventually he evocated, gave me enough time to drink too. He'd try to kite me into horde friendly mobs too. Finally we both kinda sat down and drank again. By now he's given up. lol Starts waving at me, greeting hello, etc. Then we went our seperate ways.

Encounter 2 - This time 2 mages spotted me and wanted me dead. I ran through a shitload of mobs, threw a concecrate then gauded them into aoe'ing. lol I bubble, they all went for them and slaughtered them, while I watched and healed myself, then finished off the mobs for my quest after their "help". lol

Anyways, I hit 40 tonight. Got that free mount. Well I gotta say, I don't really like how the female Draenei looks on a horse. Kinda has this wide stiff spread eagle thing going. Heh, so I went and got myself a purple elekk. Definitely fits the model more since the thing is wider.
