Now 78, I&#8217;m leveling in Zul&#8217;Drak. Now have my Venomhide Raptor mount and I love it. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nI haven&#8217;t played in awhile though. Took a short hiatus and decided to come back today.<\/p>\n<p>I finally saw what the Wrathgate movie looked like on the Horde side, which is the main reason I made a Horde char. It &#8230; isn&#8217;t any different! However the quests that follow are.<br \/>\nWhen it starts, the Horde has lost UC, what&#8217;s left of the Forsaken are taking haven in Org, where it&#8217;s under lockdown by the order of Thrall so he can talk to his new champion of the Horde &#8230; you. They&#8217;re all begging you to save them. And a bunch of NPC&#8217;s are trying to figure out why Org&#8217;s under lockdown, and they&#8217;re losing profits over it.<br \/>\nYou are working with Thrall and Sylvanis, to reclaim UC. You start outside of it, facing the front entrance. There&#8217;s <strong>alot<\/strong> more action than what I saw on the Alliance side. And you see Thrall really kicking ass. He also calls for the spirits to help us out.<br \/>\nNot to mention you also kick ass. My raptor pet didn&#8217;t last long though.<\/p>\n<p>It ends in the throne room where you&#8217;re seeing that demon guy that tells you to go to SM, opening portals to Outland. Soon he won&#8217;t be able to sustain them and attacks. When he dies, we start to head to where the Putress is, then the Alliance shows up. Classic Red VS Blue battle. Jiana Proudmoore freezes everyone. Alliance ports back to SW, and Thrall tries to figure out what to do next. Someone shows up and tells him to go back to Org and lead the Horde once again.<\/p>\n<p>You get ported to the Zeppelin platform that goes to Borean Tundra. And that&#8217;s basically it. Everything&#8217;s back to normal. UC has been reclaimed by the Horde. And you&#8217;re left with a neutral feeling. I just had to go and see Thrall after it though to see how he was doing after it.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t help but think about him. To think he actually wishes this senseless fighting of the Alliance would stop and there would be peace. But then again there would be no need to call this World of Warcraft anymore.<\/p>\n<p>One other thing I wanna state. Killforfun has left my &#8220;guild&#8221;. Don&#8217;t know when. But I was the only one in it when I came back today. I&#8217;m glad he&#8217;s gone. Was nothing but a pain in the ass. Maybe he&#8217;s finally going to join a..heh, more active guild.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nAnyway. There&#8217;s a bit of a problem. Apparently we only have 22 days left until our WoW accounts stop working. On November 11th, we&#8217;ll be forced to use this new account login service called battle.net, a sister site of Blizzard. Something about it being more secure and shit. It just might be the answer to stop gold sellers too. So that&#8217;s good.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re even bribing existing account owners to change to the new service, by offering a non-combat Penguin companion for free. Smaller then the ones seen sitting on icebergs in Northrend.<\/p>\n<p>I thought &#8220;Ehh.. I guess I&#8217;ll do it&#8221;, just for the companion. Because it&#8217;s cute and it&#8217;s free. But I&#8217;m having an issue with creating a battle.net account, and accessing my WoW account page. I keep seeing &#8216;This service is not available.&#8217;<br \/>\nAs for the issue with battle.net, I don&#8217;t understand why I&#8217;m having the issue at all. I got everything entered correctly. But it keeps doing this red arrow thing, pointing at the Battle.net Account Name field.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m hoping Blizzard will fix these problems soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beefhunter&#8217;s road to 80 is nearing the finish line.
