My last post was about the “why”, we are going to Draenor. Things happened in this time period. I met two old friends who also joined this day after not playing in months. Me? It’s been a week since I came back.<\/p>\n
Today instead of doing my “I’m bored so I’m doing this to pass the time” dailies.. oh yeah, I am doing dailies again due to being bored with having solo’d TK, The Eye, and BT (all early TBC raids). Mainly to get all main MoP factions exalted and get their flying or ground mounts.
\nI was looking around Youtube for anything to piece together the “why”. I so badly wanted to know.
\nI know the EP will take through 2014 to be released, but not knowing the reason the EP was even announced was driving me insane. It makes me want to kick myself for not ‘attending’ BlizzCon 2013. Attending as in paying the $40 to see the live feed (as I don’t have DirecTV anymore).
\nWhy in the fuck couldn’t they put the reason into their announcement video?! They did it with TBC. They did it with WotLK. They did it with Cata. And they did it with MoP… yet not WoD; literally forcing you to attend BlizzCon (or watch videos from people that were there) to learn about the EP. -_-<\/p>\n
*sigh*.. anyway, moving on with this blog post. I eventually did get back into WoW in hopes to talk Terlarer into doing a LFR with me in the Siege of Org to get my “why” answer, as it seemed to me the only way I would know. He unfortunately never showed up. So I did my dailies anyway, making the dishes for the Tillers, flying back and forth to help various factions to receive their rep, and then cussing at Blizzard for having to do the same exact<\/strong> fucking dailies I did a day ago for the Golden Lotus. After I flew back home after completing individual Tillers rep quests, I watched more videos while waiting for Terlarer. One of the videos showed a Level 90 Alliance Pally soloing through the Throne of the Tides(ToT) with the guy in the background talking about if WoW is dead\/dying. I thought “no way! This Pally has to be using hacks! There’s no way you could solo a Level 81-83 dungeon as a 90!.. Can you? Hmm.. I wonder” and began to question if I should try to do it.<\/p>\n During this, I heard the ‘ting’ sound of someone logging in that’s on my Friends List. I checked, and it was Cooleow! I thought he would still be pissed at me for the way I treated him over a year ago so I hesitated to talk. But actually it was the complete opposite when he saw me online and spoke first. A little later, he asks me if I had Skype. I said yes and he adds me, then asks if I have a Mic. I told him yes. Then I told him how I’ve been trying to figure out the “why” of WoD. He told me that he’s been playing ARMA2 and asked me to get it to play on his clan. I told him I would think about it, but I doubt I’ll do that. I care less for games like that. Anyway, he and his brother had to go do something. That’s when later on I met Terlarer in GS. He then hearthed away saying he was going to do BT really fast but didn’t show up since. While we were talking about the old raids we did, one came to mind that I completely forgot about which I think<\/em> should now be soloable by me — The Battle of Mount Hyjal. It’s the one where you help the Night Elves defeat the Burning Legion around the great tree and stop Archimonde from sucking the powers of the World Tree. It’s a Level 70 raid, and it’s the first raid added in the Caverns of Time (with Dragon Soul being the second). . My last post was about the “why”, we are going to Draenor.

\nThe only.. only change they did was in the temple where you had to kill non-elite Mogu, that the trap locations were changed, and so was the item I needed to switch off to get the quest item, then fight my way out of there.<\/p>\n
\nSo we talked for awhile to catch up on current events. I thanked him for giving me the link to Mr.Robot, asked him how he’s been. After a delay, asked me. Told him that I’ve defeated Deathwing and went to Minecraft to wait for MoP’s release. He congratulated me and told me he knew I could do it.<\/p>\n
\nLater on, I joined a group chat with them and heard his over-enthusiastic voice for the first time. I also met his little brother, who is really funny due to his immaturity, and his hamster avatar almost seemed to match with the voice.. curse my RPing.
\nSo we talked in Skype. He asked me about the Minecraft server that I mentioned (aka the MRT Server) and I gave him the URL and told him I used to be a Moderator but resigned. He seems interested in joining the server. I wonder what Chief and Frumple will think when they see friends of my past showing up on the server.<\/p>\n
\nTrying to get back to the topic of WoW, I asked him what he thought about the EP. He pretty much sees it like I do, of Blizzard desperately trying to think of an idea to keep the game alive, yet he adds that MoP is also like that to him.
\nI personally like MoP after the stress I went through with Deathwing doing what he did to my beloved zones (namely Thousand Needles), and I love the lore. But that lore isn’t WarCraft’s lore, which is what Blizzard is trying to get back to.
\nI told him I’m excited for Garrisons and to have followers that will quest for you instead of the other way around, and how it’ll be quite different from all you went through to get from 1 to 90.
\nEven though one free char will be able to be boosted right to Level 90 in the EP.<\/p>\n
\nI then saw someone familiar. A friend who I was doing Level 70 raids with when I was Level 85. Still a Level 70 twink, and still with Illidan’s Warglaves. Told her how I solo’d BT and what I went through with the triple head boss. We talked awhile, said she had Level 90’s and this was the first time on this char in a long time.
\nI asked her about that video I saw of the Level 90 Pally soloing ToT and said I’m nearly tempted to do it.
\nShe told me that I should be able to do it, that it’s not that hard. Interesting, I thought. This’ll give me something to do tomorrow. Then she went to go on one of her Level 90 chars and left.
\nEven Wowhead says it’s possible for a Level 90 to “easily solo-able on normal difficulty”, and adds on by saying “even with terrible gear”. Now I know<\/strong> I want to do it. I’ll do it after I complete my dailies. Closing in to getting Exalted with The Anglers. Soon I’ll have the Azure Water Strider. A quite useful ground mount.<\/p>\n
\nSince the thing already happened, I call it a “simulation”. Except they can really hurt you. The good thing about this type of simulation, that when you die you don’t stay permadead.
\nIf I’m going to do the raid, I need to do it and complete it before Tuesday which is when all raid dungeon locks expire.<\/p>\n
\nI just hope when I fly to Kalimdor via Theramore Isle, down to Tanaris, then through the winding tunnel to the main cavern, that what was seen in a short clip of Norzdormu losing his consort… doesn’t actually happen there and she’s gone or her lifeless body is there. Because if I do… that would be sad.
\nI want to see her still alive. But I’m pretty sure that will change in WoD. Why was his consort killed? There has to be a conspiracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
