Waiting for Wrath
I’ve had this site up and running for over a week now and I still haven’t posted anything about World of Warcraft. I must not be feeling well. So here we go! There are big changes coming to WoW in the very near future (read: November). The new expansion for the game will be out (reportedly) around then and everyone will be rushing in to check out the new content, the new goodies and especially the new Death Knight class. It’s exciting for me because I remember the hype surrounding the Burning Crusade expansion when it came out and this feels even more hyped to me.
I’m not so sure I’m gonna roll a DK right off the bat though. Right now I’m working very hard on lvling my alts up as high as I can get them. I’ve got one of every class on the Horde side. I mean, who really plays the Alliance anymore? Seriously. I mean, if you like raiding n00b towns and killing the flight master and quest givers, by all means. Roll a dwarf and have at it until a bunch of Horde 70s moocows stomp on you. Not that I’ve seen that happen. Or participated in the stomping. I digress.
My main character is a lvl 70 Blood Elf Hunter with a Beastmaster spec. Anyone following the news of the expansion as it undergoes beta testing knows that Beastmaster hunters are going to be well taken care of in the expansion. I’m not playing him so much any more as I’m trying to lvl my rogue and paladin up as close to 70 as I can get them before the expansion hits. It’s not easy. I’m used to running around at 70 and being able to do just about everything, I forgot how hard the grind up to 70 was. Oh well.
For now though, you can check out my 70 hunter at the Armory here. His name is Sorren and I play in the Shandris realm. I’m not in a guild at the moment because I’ve had a difficult time finding a guild that isn’t run by 12 year olds and actually wants to PLAY the game rather than zerg Astranaar all night. As such, I’ve got approximately 0 experience in raiding or arena. I do, however, play battlegrounds every weekend. My favorite is Alterac Valley. Least favorite is Warsong. I’d LOVE, L-O-V-E to get into raiding and 5-10 man instances but I still haven’t found a good guild to get into that yet. I can’t be a hardcore raider because I’ve got a fulltime job and a family, but casual raiding on the weekends would ROCK. Now…about finding a guild like that….
Anyway, so there’s my first post about my favorite computer game of all time. I’m gonna share a couple links with you just in case you feel like becoming a geek like myself and investigating the experience that is World of Warcraft.
WoW Insider. Probably one of the best all-around WoW sites out there. Tons of useful articles, info and links. Plus the comments readers leave are usually great for a laugh.
BigRedKitty. Yes, BigRedKitty. Perhaps the premier Hunter site out there, even though he rolls a dwarf. It’s the place you need to go to learn how not to be a Huntard.
And of course, the Official World of Warcraft Site. You gotta start somewhere and chances are, this is a good place.
