New alt

Last week I rolled a new alt, on the European server "Outland". Joining the guild "Wolf Claw" which is headed by (amongst other) 'Humlan', my best friend Mrs Humlan's husband. :-) He's been nagging me to play on his server a long time now, but it's difficult to switch just like that when all my time invested in this game is spent on mainly the same server (Dragonblight). Unfortunately Dragonblight is PvE (player versus environment) and Outland is PvP (player versus player) so I can't migrate/move any characters from Dragonblight to Outland. It is a pity, since almost everyone I know (in game) has left Dragonblight.

What finally convinced me to roll a new character on Humlan's server was the fact that Humlan's wife FINALLY FINALLY started playing Warcraft!!!! FINALLY! :-D :-D :-D She is so much fun and even though we haven't played much together yet I can't wait until I've leveled up so we can. She's rolled a tauren hunter, I rolled an orch hunter so we'll be a strong four man band once we get together. :-) It'll be so much fun! Just hope she doesn't get sidetracked back into Oblivion again... :-D

Yours truly,

Ding 69!

Weeee! Finally, the elusive level 70 is within reach. :-) I checked yesterday, it has taken me 30 days in-game to get to this level. That's not too bad considering how many years it has taken in real life... :-D With a bit of luck I'll have time to be 70 before the next expansion... (unlike level 60, where I had to rush to get in to Outlands). :-)

Manah-manah ha ha

A shadow priest's one and only task in a raid is to be a mana generator, no matter how much dps (damage per sec) they think they can do. :-) This muppet show video clip with Warcraft subtitles are just too good. :-D S plays a shadow priest (I stick to the holy side of priesthood = healing).

Gnomes

Call me simple minded, but it doesn't seem to wear off - I still giggle a little (in my mind) when I hear the "non-player character" (NPC) gnomes in Warcraft speak with their typical New York accent... X-)

Funcom

Not long after I removed my "method of payment" from my Age of Conan account I received an email from Funcom asking me to please tell them why. I like that. So that's one point to Funcom. They get another point for making bits and pieces of Conan rather likable too. But that's not going to make me continue to play. I might return to Conan later though, if I start to hear good things about it again.

Thing is, I wonder if they are going to get enough money to make those much needed improvements if everyone does what I do?

More Spore

Had to test creating another creature. :-) It's fascinating how "stuck" I am in my perception of animals/creatures. This looks like a rabbit, right?
Why does it have to look "like" something? I'm totally free to build a five legged treble mouthed twin headed [anything], but instead I find I'm creating horse-like replicas, rabbits and other creations like real animals... :-) Silly me. Maybe I'll be able to let my imagination run free if I practice a little? :-)

But now it's bedtime. High time for it too.

Spore!

The trial edition of Creature Creator has been tested, the full version (a whopping 59 kr) is being downloaded as I type. :-)

I can't help liking it. It will be interesting to see what they offer in the full version. The green thing on the picture above was built with what they let you play with in the free trial version. :-D

Fun fun fun!
