hahaha my guild totally wasn't prepared for ZG. we did fine up until the first boss (i forget his name) but we wiped there. we got him down to like 60%, but we got owned by bats. lots of bats. exploding bats. i should totally tame one.

we're doing a guild ZG raid today. i'm not sure what to expect because i know so little about it. i hear there's epic mount drops there though which is awesome.

did UD strat today. still no beaststalker drops. it was a mostly guild run. our MT was a guildy warrior. he's done UD strat like 90 times or so and has yet to get the valor legs. so we kill the baron and the legs drop. then the other warrior in the group (the only non-guildie) rolls on them and of course wins. also did BRD yesterday. dear god BRD is terrible. horrible layout, shitty ass drops, pointless encounters... we gave up in the torch room when we wiped after 15 minutes of infinite dwarf spawns. we killed both torch carriers... but only one dropped the damn torch. needless to say that pissed us off. as for UBRS.. yeah the bridge was the toughest spot. thankfully we only lost one guy there. we had a near wipe though in the general's room when a rogue's sap failed. me and the other hunter saw what was going on and immediately sleeped 2 of the mobs, but then the rogue vanished and all the mobs came straight to us and gang raped us in 3 seconds flat. both hunters and most of the cloth wearers went down and it was pure chaos until one of the warriors was able to get enough threat to hold aggro. the general himself wasn't bad though. me and the other hunter kited him across the bridge into another room until the rest of the group killed his two gaurdians, at which point we brought him back. good thing he is slow because he hits damn hard.

yeah Nightmare's Asylum transfered over... but so did Exodia, and a handful of other end game alliance guilds, plus craploads of individual people that wanted a change. I'm not sure what the exact ratio is now, but it's definately in alliance's favor. In other news, I made my first trip through UBRS today. Totally not as hard as people make it out to be. Hell I was the lowest level there (57) and I didn't pull any aggro or anything. Also... server stability has become a serious issue lately. We almost didn't get to do UBRS because the realm went down as soon as we all entered the instance and nobody could get back in for well over an hour. That's like the 4th time in the last 5 days that shit has happened. Today's extended maintenance was supposed to fix these problems, but it obviously failed.

level 57 now... man i love killing level 60's. especially hunters. if i get killed by a hunter 3 or 4 levels lower than me... man i feel stupid. and then you're not sure whether or not to get help when they're camping your corpse because you're embarassed someone might laugh. anyways... stupid realm transfers. before the realm transfers opened there was about a 1.1:1 horde to alliance ratio. now it's at about 2.3:1 in alliance's favor. questing in high level areas has suddenly become insanely difficult due to the sheer amount of alliance running around. in un'goro, i was the only horde vs. about 20 allies. it's become quite agitating... yet we still win battlegrounds 75% of the time...

!!! where did that come from? i've yet to see a single pandaren in the game. i've come across many a blood elf and draenei though. if the PRC doesn't like it, it can go screw itself. if they banned the game all it would do is cut back on gold farming and power levelling anyways. cao ni ma, motherfuckers.

a tauren warrior by the name of Jupitor on my server (smolderthorn) has literally like 40 of those lionheart helms. he basically uses them as freaking currency, lol.

PEOPLE! THE EARTHBOUND CARTRIDGE IS PEOPLE!!!

wait what? i thought i did all the quests in un'goro... must have missed something. anyways what did the GM guy mean by stuff that will rot? and what do they mean the hunter epic quest was a mistake? that quest is INSANELY hard to complete. you have to down domo, get a super rare drop from onyxia, and solo 4 elite demons WITHOUT A PET. i think anybody who can pull that shit off deserves a decent bow.

so the expansion has officially been unveiled, though blizzard is still holding back on some things (like the other new playable race which is rumored to be Draenei). check it out: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/

how did i miss this thread? anyways if there's anything i can help with, gimme a holler.

i just made my proudest accomplishment thus far: one-shotting a lvl 49 mage with a 1980 damage crit. booyah motherfucker! seriously doubt he saw that shit coming. and un'goro is a bitch. i can't go 5 minutes without having to fight off another rabid pack of alliance (which i've become quite good at now).

yeah i messed around in searing gorge for a while (49-51)... there was one or two quests i could never finish though. that damn underground area is massive. the dwarves there make for good grinding though.

lvl 54 now. which reminds me, where i should i be questing and/or grinding at this level? winterspring? also, i think i should probably do sunken temple or something.

woohoo! thanks to the server transfers (as well as the minimum player change), Alterac Valley has finally returned to Smolderthorn! AV is awesome. Pure bloodshed for 7 hours before we finally killed that freaking dwarf. The battle went back and forth for quite some time. The alliance even came so close as to destroying both our towers before we finally pushed them back. It was extremely fun, and a challenge as it actually requires some strategy. You can't just throw yourselves into the opposite team's base and hope to take over their graveyard. The end boss fight was quite fun as well. He'd be pretty tough by himself, but when you factor in all his little gaurd fgts and 40 alliance guys trying to rape you from behind, it becomes very interesting. In the end it was definately worth the struggle, because my New Polearm is le awesome.

if i recall there's a pretty good spanish guitar in Plugsound Free. it's a VSTi though, if you have a problem with that...

what does that debuff do anyways? i managed to get all 3 of mine off, and i noticed that every time the alliance guys would run for their lives. i'm curious to see what happens for X-Mas and new years. lots and lots of free fireworks! ...i still can't get over how amazingly huge i was.

i hit 50 yesterday. also if there's anybody on Skullcrusher feel free to join me on Smolderthorn once the transfers are up on thursday! and man, halloween WoW style = fun. world PvP has officially returned as tons upon tons of horde try to throw stink bombs and place rotten eggs in southshore. and the variety of strange buffs and items you get make for an interesting time. i managed to get the buff that makes you big and orange.. and then stack it with Winterfall Firewater... let's say the results were.. quite amusing. [2] [3] i probably made a few lowbies in STV shit themselves as they were promptly run down by a 30 foot tauren. the other buffs were kinda fun, too.

god damn the princess of maraudon is one ugly ho. also i realized how much of a DPS machine hunters really are. i had the highest DPS of the group, even though I was the lowest level guy there, level 48. there was even a 56 warrior and 51 mage. i actually had to cut back a bit at parts because i was pulling mobs off the tank. but we had an excellent healer who knew how to handle those situations quite admirably.

this is wonderful. i finally get on illidan, i'm on for a total of 2 minutes then i get disconnected and the server goes down. but does blizzard update the realm status page to show which servers are down? hell no. that would require effort.

yeah so umm... anyone else having problems getting on tonight? there's a message at the login screen that links to the forums... the forums are down too.. sigh.

time to start levelling my druid.. anyways like i said they stopped coming in waves after a minute or so. once we killed the first 3 waves it was just a full on endless rush of friggen trolls. and no, none of us were on the staircase. there were probably 10 guys on each of the NPCs. i'll try again with a protection specced tank though (last time we had an Arms junkie). anyone know how big the patch is yet? i knew i should have brought my USB drive to school today... no. and the reason for that is everyone is on different servers. I'm horde on Smolderthorn, Rama is horde on Illidan/Archimonde, Zircon is horde on Gorefiend, Russ is.. somewhere... and Wingless is playing in the Forest of Feelings.

yeah i don't know anybody who's done it since the latest patch. like i said even the bosses were respawning after we killed them.

no, we were behind the NPCs, trying to do as much AoE as we could. they came in waves of 4 or 5 for the first minute or so, but after that it was just a complete zerg.
