Benie's Games Blog

Questing has been pretty good. Started in Vashj’ir which got me to 82 easily. Has really slowed down after leaving it due to no quests.
Mount Hyjal was a big disappointment. I expected as many quests as Vashj’ir but it let me down. Maybe because Blizzard undid something that I was able to do in WoTLK. When I started at Fjord, then went to Borean Tundra. Now it seems you can either go here OR here to get to 82.

I was forced to grind to 83 in Mount Hyjal by killing some molten mobs, seeing hardly anyone else was killing them. As I was, I got a PM from *namehere*, asking if I’m Ben. I questioned him and he said “This is Troy!”, I asked if it was the same Troy I was friends with two years ago and he said yes. We talked for awhile and I explained what has happened.

I then crossed the ocean to Kalimdor to get to Uldum, expecting to get to 84. When I arrived it was like I was in Egypt. Notice the mob levels were around 83-85 here. A bit too high for me but I went with it. Notice there wasn’t any “Welcome! Come here to get started!” quest givers.
But I managed to do a few, including this absolutely hilarious one of frying/running over 1,000 Gnomes with a giant fireball known as a Fusion Core that rolls around which you can control.

After some flying around and still noticing no Alliance quest hubs, I began to get concerned that I might be too low to do any real quests here, so I flew back to SW and found out there’s a new quest on the Hero’s Call Board, of going to Uldum. I picked it up and had to fly to Tanaris to get it.
When I arrived, I was told to escort this caravan into Uldum. Instead, I’m the one being escorted. For the first time in WoW history, YOU are in cutscenes. You’re treated like a NPC.

When you finally arrive in Uldum, you and the people you went with are captured and put in cages, but are rescued by one of the NPC’s who happens to have a lockpick on her.

Later on you find out Harrison Jones (aka Indiana Jones) is back, and he does alot more than he did in WoTLK. You’re his partner in unlocking the secrets of Uldum by lighting the three obelisks to re-activate the shield that has kept outsiders out of Uldum for many, many years.
Soon you find out this german-speaking goblin and his cronies are working with Deathwing, who plan to activate a device that will wipe out every living thing on Azeroth. Of course you’re not going to let that happen.

The next day (today) when I logged in to continue a quest I planned to do later, Cooleow PMs me and asks like he doesn’t know who I am. I did my best to remind him and finally he remembers and asks where I’ve been. I told him that I was going to come back before Cataclysm’s release but he claims I didn’t tell him.

I fly back to SW to hang with him, and decide to give him the 250g needed to fly and he thanks me alot.

The rest of the day, I found out I could had gone to Deepholm as an 82 after asking a group who were waiting for a bugged quest how in the fuck are people able to get to 85, when I can’t seem to find any quests. So I decided to go to Deepholm, knowing the only way out is my Hearthstone.
I expected to go through it on my mount. Instead I’m riding a Horde flying mount with a Tauren driving it, telling me about Deepholm and then we enter it.
When I get dropped off, I’m told “We are all counting on you.” Ohh the pressure. But I can understand why they’re so serious and need my mob combat skills.
I’m tasked with finding three fragments of the World Pillar to repair it after what Deathwing did. I’ve found two of them so far. The third one is more difficult to acquire, as I have to become friends with the Earthmother who has taken a hating to all things not made of stone due to untrust.
And due to the plentiful quests, I’m now an 84. With 75% away from 85.

Cooleow keeps trying to drag me back to Goldshire to hang out, but I keep trying to focus on getting to 85. He doesn’t understand how critical it is to get the World Pillar repaired, and I’m the only one that can do it.

Today I saw my first Worgen char in GS. A Worgon Warrior. Also saw their new “mount”, which is Running Wild. Pretty cool to be your own mount.
I’ve been also doing more quests that have changed due to Cata, and going to other zones like Blasted Lands and Redridge.
I also checked out this new feature for Guilds; “Guild Reputation”, of getting Guild XP to unlock special gear. Of course with me being the only member of my guild, it would be impossible to acquire said items without being in an active one.
I fear not being in an active guild will have dire consequences, as in never to be able to join another group because they claim I don’t hit hard enough.

That night, seeing how I had pretty much nothing to do in Azeroth, I decided to go on and start questing to 85.
I told myself before I would wait a week or two after the release for things to settle down, but a little birdy told me to just try.

When I got there, I talked with a Shaman who showed me my skills are in desperate need. A video shows of The Maelstrom with Thrall sitting on an island, probably trying to calm it down. You even hear his voice saying to “relieve all your prejudice”. Meaning to put the conflict between the Horde and Alliance to rest. I like that.

So next I’m told to head to the boat dock to Northrend. I get to the dock and wait. But I took the wrong boat and ended up in Northrend. Looks like the spirits didn’t guide me in the right direction…
So I got back, and found the correct dock (the one with alot of people gathering around it).
There was a few NPC’s infront of the pier talking which is the crew that will be joining us, suddenly turns into “The Horde wants to take over the island. WE WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!”, and I’m thinking “Ohhh fuck I signed up for PvP!” but go with it.
Then a few start talking about what Deathwing did to SW, and why he did so very little and left. Even they didn’t know why. It’s almost like Deathwing wants us to kill him.

A different kind of boat shows up at the dock, and everyone boards it (and I mean everyone. There was like ten people with me).

Soon the boat leaves, going full speed. There’s never a loading change which makes me wonder if it’s accessible by air.
Budd, one of the crewmembers, is going crazy on the boat. Saying a whole bunch of nonsense things while our leader is all “FOR THE ALLIANCE!! DOWN WITH THE HORDE!!”.

Soon we approach our destination; Vashj’ir. No sign of the Horde. Suddenly we see an overturned boat ahead of us with survivors on it.
Before they can be rescued, a huge tentacle monster comes out and pulls them under. Then does the same to us.
Next thing I know, I’m in an overturned boat with the same Shaman I talked to back in SW. He explains that I was nearly captured by the Naga (I guess as revenge for slaughtering so many of them over the years), but rescued by him.

So now I’m gathering up these shells and what not to be able to breath underwater (and move 60% faster than you would normally go). And then I have to rescue my crewmates before they drown or captured by the Naga.

For one thing, it seems that I am fighting Level 70 Elites here when it comes to the Naga (and every mob that chases me). They hit like a fucking truck and take a long time to kill. It makes me wonder if what has happened a year ago has weakened me. Or I’ve been too used to killing low level mobs.
Still, I managed to complete every quest given to me, solo.

Later on, you find out most of the crew survived, and find out the whole “KILL THE HORDE!!” thing was a hoax. They were actually sent to find out what Deathwing has done. And now you have to help them gather up their gear, knowing the Naga are desperately trying to take us all into areas unknown.
No one knows why they’re so aggressive.

The battle goes from good to OSHI- HELP! in a matter of minutes, as everyone is captured by the Naga, including me. There was just too many of them. But I get rescued yet again by The Earthen Ring. I thank them and then am told I need a better way to move around in Vashj’ir. I first try to get a Turtle mount, but it gets eaten by a shark. I survived.
Then they say I need something alot faster, and they weren’t kidding. A seahorse that can go four times the speed of a flying mount (450%). I have to ride this wild beast in a Dance-Dance Evolution-like thing. You press Forward, Left, or Right when told to (or keys 1, 2, and 3), to keep the seahorse under control (and you from falling off). If you make it (which is piss-easy to do), you get a new mount that can only be used in Vashj’ir.

As for accessing Vashj’ir from the air, you can. You get on the overturned boat, summon your mount and fly to Dun Morogh. There’s a pretty large area where you get fatigued, but as long as you don’t stop you’re fine.
There’s also FPs on one of the islands incase you don’t have your own means of travel. One for both sides.

The day has finally come. Cataclysm has been officially released! However, every fucking person on the planet is having to re-login all at once due to a message telling you to “completely quit and restart”. I should had ignored it and waited. Too late now.

Before the release, everyone was crowding around the riding trainer, trying to piss off everyone else to be the first to fly. Not to mention were purposely trying to crash the server by spamming spells.

This means it could be another day until I’m finally able to get in (if I’m lucky), just to get that license. I just wish it showed a queue instead of “Logging in to game server” for the past… 25 minutes.

I feel like I wasted my time planning to wait for the last 30 minutes. I had no idea there would be THAT MANY PEOPLE at once there. Nor did I expect to see “Cataclysm content is now available. Please completly quit and restart World of Warcraft, then enjoy the game.”
Ahh, Blizzard. You idiots. You didn’t realize how fucking big your playerbase is, or they did that just to laugh in our faces and thank you for paying for their game.

.
.
UPDATE: About ten minutes after posting this blog entry, I went back to the main menu and tried to login again, and I got in!
Again, shitload of people dancing around the riding trainer. Some of them telling the others to get the fuck away so they can get the training.
A minute later, I saw my mouse icon change to a spellbook, and right clicked. Saw “Flight Master’s License” and QUICKLY purchased it. I didn’t take the time to get a screenshot. I just grabbed it as quick as I could, fearing I would lose the chance with some asshole walking over the guy.
Heard the “cha-ching” sound when you buy/sell something and shouted “I GOT IT!! YES!!” (how could you blame me for wanting something I’ve been waiting for three years for?), then jumped off, found a spot, and summoned my dragon.
Picked an appropriate music track in Winamp and took flight. It felt good flying over Elwynn and THE FIRST to land on the Inn Roof, as I hoped. 🙂
I’m also the first to fly into Ironforge. I wish they had achievements for them.

I’m now in Winterspring with him, watching people getting “Realm First!” achievements, and still .. shocked this day has finally come. For three years I had to use a ground mount. NOT ANYMORE, BABY!! WOOT!!
My plan actually worked out, sorta perfect. It had a rocky start due to trolls all crowding around the trainer, but my dragon determination (and a bit of luck) came through.

8 hours and 13 minutes to go from the time I write this post.
I’ve been questing in Thousand Needles today, and enjoying my new Riverboat mount, that can only be used here.
The most… painful quest I ever had to do was underwater. I had to recover corpses from mobs that didn’t survive in the cataclysm. I /mourn’d every single one of them.
I know they’re just pixels and file names.. but I still see them as innocent animals. I’ve gotten so used to seeing them. So used to running with my mount across the shimmering sands and visiting the race track when I wasn’t busy elsewhere, and watching the Goblins and Gnomes still racing.
Now it’s like everything is “frozen in time” in 25FT of water. They died where they were, like no one saw it coming. So many innocent lives lost.
I will miss the balancing rocks in Thousand Needles, and the Great Lift. I just can’t see anything good with this. I guess the only thing is the Horde have lost control of Freewind Post.

All of this does is fuel my rage for what Deathwing has done, and swear revenge. But going after him in a blinding rage would mean suicide. I have to focus on the task at hand and get to 85. Even then, me being in the same raid to kill Deathwing is very unlikely.

Even if I was able to land the killing blow on him and sink my axe deep into his skull, it would not undo the damage and death. It has been done. All I can do is mourn and move on.
Deathwing’s rain of terror hasn’t stopped the world, nor has it broken our spirits. It has only made them stronger. The Darkmoon Faire is still going, and soon Winter Veil(Christmas in WoW) will be here. And in … 6 hours and 47 minutes, I’ll fly.

Update: T-3 hours to go! 😀

Come, laugh at my gear. But I’m ready for Cataclysm.
I’m a dungeon/quest soloer, and proud.

(A recap of what has happened, written by Blizzard)

I’ve played WoW for two days now, and I’ve noticed I am too late. What Deathwing will do, has been done. Yet, every now and then the earth will shake under your feet. I’m guessing aftershocks. Nothing bad though.
I’m now a Human Hunter for one thing. I paid Blizzard $25 to change from a Dwarf, to a Human. This is something I have wanted since I started playing as a Hunter, and now I finally have it.

As for the changes, I could post a wall of text of everything I’ve seen, but I rather let the folks at Wowhead do that for me, here. Enjoy. It also lists the new 78-85 level zones and the new underwater continent. Leveling to 85 I feel will be nothing like I’ve ever experienced before. But that’s what I said about WoTLK.

Also, and this is now official…, to finally enable flying in Azeroth, you have to visit a Riding Trainer and pay 250g for a “Flight Master’s License“. Level 60’s and up can get this. The spell is already available in your spellbook, but it’s not accessible until the release.
I know exactly what I’ll do to get it. Start by treating Monday like a normal day. Do any extra exploring (like maybe go back to that boat in Thousand Needles). Around 2:30am EST (or sooner, depending on how I feel) I’ll run to SW’s FP, and wait for the release time which is 3:01am. When the time comes and Cataclysm is officially released, I’ll buy that license (and take a few screenshots to celebrate). And be one of the first to fly in Azeroth. Then nearly scream for joy once I land on the roof of the Inn in Goldshire, never again will I have to jump up there.

And at the end when you enter the Maelstrom… you alone are the only thing that can save Azeroth from total devastation. You see, the World Pillar.. the very thing keeping Planet Azeroth together, is damaged. You have to ally with the god of the Earth and fix it. Because if you don’t… you won’t have a home to come back to.
I just wonder if it’ll be something like, I hit 85, head back to Goldshire to rest and celebrate. Then a guy runs up to me and says “Benie! You have to get to The Maelstrom! Azeroth is in danger if you don’t do something!!”
Then play Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone in Winamp after accepting the quest, get on my drake and fly there. Now that would be one epic story.

But seriously… the fate of Azeroth, resting on the shoulders of a guy who only solos low level instances, and doesn’t give a shit about getting better gear? The raiders of Azeroth have a better chance than I do. But I have read somewhere about “unlikely heroes” will save the world.

I did mention that the first thing I plan to do is fly in Azeroth, and safely see all the changes from the air. Yes, I can still see them on foot, but… some areas that were for the Alliance are now strictly Horde-controlled. Such as Hillsbrad. It’s now a Horde-only zone, with Southshore taken over by them. To go there on foot as Alliance would be suicide now.

Once I’m done exploring, I’ll shift to getting my level up to 85. Before, I didn’t feel like I could level up. But now, seeing the lands have been destroyed.. it’s personal.
Malygos is nothing compared to Deathwing now. And if him and the red flight would stop fighting and work together, maybe.. just maybe we’ll be able to finally defeat Deathwing once and for all. And Azeroth just might heal from this.

Tomorrow, I will be training for probably the biggest fight of my WoW life. And my training will start where it hurts; the heart of Blackrock Mountain. My revenge will begin by taking LBRS into my control, then UBRS. If Deathwing even gives a shit about me killing his minions, that is.
He doesn’t seem to care. He doesn’t crave power. All he wants is to wipe out all life on Azeroth. Several mob families have already been wiped out during the cataclysm.

On the 7th, Cataclysm will be officially released, and Azeroth will never be the same again. Everything you knew and loved will be changed….. forever.
Two new races will be introduced; the Goblins for the Horde, and the Worgen for the Alliance. And the level cap will be raised to 85.
The classic instances (Deadmines for example), will have a Heroic difficulty for replayability.

I’ve just got done ordering the game directly from worldofwarcraft.com. That all I have to do is play the game to install the files, and have them activated at 12:01am PST on the 7th, which I think would be 3:01AM on the 7th in EST. I also ordered the official strategy guide for it, and a 2011 Wall Calendar.
Soon I’ll be playing WoW again. But I feel like I’m too late to see what Azeroth was like before the sundering.

After the release of Cataclysm, you’ll only have so long to have fun ’till the servers go down for another “cataclysmic event”… Maintenance Day. Expect it to be down all day.

From the time I finished the previous blog post, my alt finished filling one of the small barrels and put it in my sailboat.
I logged DH in, hopped on my sailboat and left it, constantly. The boat was stuck in the sand on my pier and wouldn’t let me pull up the anchor to move it.
So I’m forced to file in a report with a GM, then checked my other boats to see if they’re stuck too. After checking both of my big boats, my sailboat mysteriously moved away from the pier and I got a PM from Bianca. Nice to see she’s still in the game. She’s helped me more with finding my boats than any other GM.

So I set sail heading south towards New Galway, to see what it looks like now, while my alt continued his cooking.
After passing the Crystal Canal (and having to outrun a Young fierce bearshark that caught me off guard), I begin to notice something. Both my Food and Water bars are frozen. This is a known bug. A very awesome one though.

So I finally reached New Galway and get blown away with how much work they’ve put into the village. They’ve turned the side of a mountain into an awesome sight. But something seemed missing as I explored the settlement. No one was on. And the fields they had were all dead.
Now Starhero told me once that if he ever decided to quit Wurm, he wouldn’t tell anyone. He would just.. go.
They got new housing now. But it seems like Hero and Koi are the only ones.

So, it’s time to move on to the next reason I came all the way down here. Time to check out The Howl. So I boarded my boat and headed through the canal.
I began to notice an increase in player corpses along my route. Probably unfortunate noobs.

I arrived at Freedom Market Pier and docked, then went up the road. Again, corpses littering the road.
Soon I entered The Howl. Yet I saw… nothing. I continued my way up until I reached a flat part of road, with several trash bins scattered on the sides.
There’s a road to the right, leading up to a token.
I couldn’t believe my eyes. This is no starter town! This is a joke!
But, I went up to the token to see who owns it. And when I got close to it I saw this pop up, telling me to go and explore.
Looking inside the token reveled the owner of the settlement is a person called Howler. Obviously a GM.
The Area History reveals disturbing news that what kchat told me is true.

“Nov 22, 2010 7:40:44 AM Howler founded The Howl”
“Nov 23, 2010 8:27:01 AM Rolf disbanded Samling”
“Nov 24, 2010 6:59:20 AM Whoze founded Historic Samling”
Now I was going to sail to Freedom Market on the 22nd. I had no idea none of this was going to happen.

A bit up the road leads to another flat part, with a developing non-settlement to the left.
I saw these crazy signs, like one with “L1TTLE4POLAND2xD0” and the other one with “BEST VODKA” on it.
The non-settlement has a name. Shantytown. Looking at the house names from the road makes me think these are refugees from Golden Valley. Does that mean GV is gone?
I explored their small town with mostly 1×1-sized wooden houses. I also noticed a guy in my local named Irondragon. Possibly a relative of MD. I never bothered asking though, that would be stupid.

Further up the road, I finally made it to the Freedom Market. It hasn’t changed much. It has actually improved. With some new fencing in the inner circle.
Now with the gem my alt mailed to me, I tried to see if I could sell the damn thing and get some of the money I wasted from fixing my mine entrance back.
Sadly, the trader there was too drained to give me anything for it. So was the one by the piers.

The West exit of the market with the portals going to the Wild server, is a new road leading up to a… cemetery. According to the map, a “Zombie Massacre” happened on Thanksgiving Day.
Coffins everywhere, yet nothing is in them.

I thought of heading to Historic Samling and see if I can sell it there before heading back home. Passing by Berrisville, fog started to roll in.
I was paying too much attention to my alt who was searching for any sign of my horses, but found none.
Before I knew it I was boating blind and had to moor and wait. Sadly I didn’t have enough time to get out of the bay as I had to go to bed.

.
The next day I finally got to the Darkenstone Canal. When I did I noticed a new sign with “CAUTION LANDBRIDGE Drag Boat” on it.
I thought “what landbridge?” as I went through the canal. On the north side is another sign with a clearly-visible landbridge just under the water, forcing me to drag my boat across. I was pissed, and wondered who was the smartass that made this.

Still, I sailed toward what was Samling. About 1/4 there I saw a Caravel.. for SALE! “for sale pm Acoustic” is the boat name. I imagine the asking price is somewhere around 50s.
And finally I reach it. The token is gone, and there’s a fenced area with a coffin. I guess it’s what’s left of Samling.
The settlement I mentioned before, Historic Samling, is located around where you go to get your deed.
It’s a small 5×5 settlement. And there seems to be some expansion, causing alot of the parked sailboats to be beached.

I’m going to miss Samling. Even though I haven’t been on long enough to see the settlement in the past, I feel like I’m a part if its history.
I guess because it’s where I came back to Wurm and saw that I was no longer in JK-H anymore.
On top of it, the trader here too was “low on cash”. I was about to go to NOOOOOO!!!.com and FFFFFFFFUUUUU–!!!!.com when I asked kchat and they suggested I try to sell it on the forum.

So I got home with no problems, and no sign of my horses.. sigh, and attempted to sell the sapphire. One person so far is offering 1.01s (1s and 1c) for it.

I said to expect a new post “tomorrow”, which turned into eight days.
I blame Minecraft. I was going to use the Thanksgiving Day Update as an excuse to play Wurm, but some of the tavern-goers wanted my server up. But I’m trying to re-focus on Wurm again.

I have, and my alt is also here. Before I got him to work on making lots of Stew, I went to check up on my horses. Sadly… my horses are gone. All of them. There’s two possible reasons why.
1. Someone took them. Both gates are unlocked, allowing anyone access in.
2. They escaped. One of my fence sections is missing. Either decayed or bashed by a catapult or a maul.
I could say they died, but that thought is impossible. And it’s also impossible for a hostile such as a Troll to bash my fences down and kill them. Only if the animal is an ally to me will they attack.

I am slightly saddened by their departure, but I’m also relieved. Sure, I needed them as work horses for heavy hauling of resources, but as payment they eat a shitload of my grass, faster than it can grow.
Plus.. five horses. Seriously? I can’t take care of that many by myself. At least they’re not dead. I took good care of them by giving them all the grass I could spare.
I blame myself, not the person(s) that took them, for not being more active and not putting locks on my gates.
I have no proof they were taken, so the GMs couldn’t do a thing about it.

I still have all of my boats (shock!) and my settlement. Losing one of the two or both would really make me cry.

Also, quite alot has happened. Such as Rolf releasing the Freedom server to the noobs.
Here’s the load down I got from kchat so far of what has happened in these eight days;
1. Samling is gone. It’s been replaced with “Historical Samling”.
2. The new spawn point is now just south of Freedom Market, in a settlement called “The Howl”. This is where the noobs are being trained and released into our world.
3. Impalong will happen south of it, next month. The time is still unknown to me. I’m hoping it doesn’t interfere with WoW: Cataclysm.
4. There’s a bug with boats. But it’s actually an awesome one. Your food/water bars will freeze when in a boat.

With my alt making Stew, I checked out the rest of the area. The ruins near us haven’t changed much. I also checked out the cave and nearly faced the pinchy, stingy wrath of an adol starving scorpion (who got owned by my tower guards).
At this time, fog decided to trolololololol us while night fell.
The fog lasted for seemed like a good five minutes before ever so slowly dissipating.

The rest of the day went to “trolling” kchat (wasn’t actually trolling them, but I got them to talk about Minecraft a few times).
One person talked about losing his horses, so I thought of taking this time of explaining my failure. After a few laughs, one of them suggested the next time I get horses, to plant Wemp seeds instead of Grass. Since planting seeds is slightly easier than planting grass. They also said to never put horses off-deed. Yeah, I’ve learned from that. But to use wemp plants instead of grass is something I need to try.
I’ll try to head over to Volcano Forest and see if I can ask for some wemp seeds. If not, I can get my alt to bot every grass tile around my settlement.

After the helpful conversation in kchat (which are rare), I tried to search for the map, and see if it has this new noob landing thingy the login news GUI was telling me about. Found it at its usual location on the forum and checked it out.

I noticed several new things. One was the canal I found several weeks ago NW of El Rancho Lago while exploring on horseback, and finding that bear. Apparently someone has re-done the length of the canal and it’s now on the map. It’s just up the ocean from me.
Another thing is, Samling is no longer marked on the map. Yet it still has the Trader and Mailbox icons, and is still marked as a settlement, but an unnamed settlement.

I notice on the top of the map, it has “NEWBIES: You spawn at 32x, 39y.” I followed the coords and it leads to a settlement called “The Howl”, on the road south of Freedom Market. I’m guessing this is also where the Impalong will be held next month.

If I wasn’t forced to wait for my alt to make at least enough Stew to fill one small barrel I would bring him and myself on my cog, to this “The Howl” to check it out. But I think I’ll go myself when my alt is done on my sailboat, so he can fill up the large barrel in the house.

Wondering what the state of my settlement is, I paid for prem and came back to Wurm and saw it still exists. Thank goodness.
I’m bored with Wurm, but I will hate myself too much if I lose my settlement, my boats, and my horses. The settlement has 130 upkeep days left, and still plenty of money in the bank for the 1s monthly upkeep fee. Which means it’s covered through December and half of January 2011 until I got to put more money into it.

All trees but pine and ceder now have an autumn color, and so does the grass. And once again the pigs I have for horses have eaten all the grass in my pen.
After leading a wolf to its demise at the hands of my tower guards (I notice Wolves now have yet another new pain sound. Mr Bloodworth, the lead of Wurm’s sound and music, has been busy since I’ve been gone), I lead the five horses (my foals have grown into beautiful Adolescents) I have, to the pen on the bottom tier. They will stay there until I can get grass to regrow at the normal pen.

I may take a trip on my sailboat tomorrow just to see what other trees have changed colors, and to see if Freedom Market has any new stuff for sale. I can also check up on New Galway while I’m down there. I don’t think Starhero cares that I suddenly stopped logging in, but I would like to see the place again.

There’s one bad thing with this though. The fact I’ve been gone so long, I am out of food! D: I’m going to have to get prem for my alt again and get him to make me more stew ASAP. I can’t do anything without filling my belly up.

Hopefully Rolf hasn’t reverted heating times back to the way they were before. Expect a new blog post tomorrow. It’s too late to get my alt in and make food.
