WoW brings 'em all out of the woodwork.

Took long enough.


I'm still debating whether or not to go back to playing WoW. It takes up so much time but on the other hand I have nothing but time right now.

Yeah - while I love WoW, the claim by Blizzard that you can enjoy this game even if you only have a few minutes to play is hogwash.

true dat.

While I do enjoy solo questing, you definately need at least 1 hour to do some solo questing. And if you want instances you need at least 3 hours (many take less time, but you need time to find a group etc). And raiding even more than that.

Thing about raiding is I can't do overnight activities as I'm somewhat obligated to raid. So stuff like travelling and camping is hard to do.

I'm going to try to resist raiding and concentrate more on instances and solo questing, but we'll see how that goes. I admit to being a little proud of the awesome equipment my shaman accumulated.

They've made the endgame instances much more accessible in terms of time required.

Even back in late vanilla period the newer stuff was winged.

[MrFun]

I mean, what can you do in just "a few minutes" in WoW?

Make a few more iron bars by smelting? Spam the trade chat channel with sophomoric, distasteful garbage?

You can run through a quarter of the Barrens!

lol. Ya after several hours yesterday I got close to 1/2 way through level 70 lol. And that's with rest bonus. time hog supreme.

luckily I have little else to do with my time. It is an economical time waster compared to most adult's activities my age where I live.

Yeah it can take longer to level in Lich King - if you only turned in quests it would take 75 quests per level at 70 - instead of BC when it would have taken only 40 per level.

However, the XP you get from instances is still very good and there are a LOT of quests in Lich King (875 vs less than 600 in BC).

u can pvp for an hr if queue isnt horrendous. I usually get 10 arena games done in about 1hr half.

PVP right now is looking lame though.

[DrSpike]

Running at 92 at metacritic - seems a good expansion.

[Dis]

yay level 71. I'm kinda sad all my awesome equipment will become useless soon. So far expansion has been real easy. Much easier than BC. But I think that's because i'm in all purples (t5 ones at that), where as I started BC with greens. And I'm still restoration mostly. Healing classes rock . I do have 12 points in elemental right now though.

still haven't worked on professions much. Not sure when I'll start a death knight. couple months maybe.

I ahve heard the gear isn't so big of a change now comapred to BC

To hell with you and your bragging rights.

played too much yesterday. was getting a few muscle twitches in my left hand. definately not healthy. But I'm trying much more to moderate my play (just trying to catch up with my old guildies who are already 80 though lol). I'm trying to keep up regularly posting here- which isn't necessarily healthy I know. I just want to keep up with my old activities. And I started working out again since I'm done with overtime at my job . Just got 2 days in saturday and sunday. I'm going for 4 days a week during my workweek. I'm going to try to go hiking every once in a while too- something I did not do when playing wow before. The gym and work (I walk during work) should keep me in good enough shape for that.

That being said. I got up to 73 last night. Almost 2 levels worth of questing yesterday. .

[Sparrowhawk]

WoW! I can't imagine questing enough to do two levels in one day at that level. I still don't play to level and penalize myself as a result, but still, 2 levels has to be what? 2.5 million xp or so?

If I do 250 000 xp in a day I have likely been playing too long.

I did Sunken Temple last night with my 58 Paladin in a 4 person group that was overpowered and we did it pretty easily....I think it may have been the first time my paladin has been in an instance!
