IWL :: in wow life

So when I was on ally, most of my characters and alts were lvls 35 and up, content was getting old, sitting around in shattrath or IF was the thing to do.  But now that wrath is here and I've turned horde, I have all my characters I must re-level and things of the game to adjust to...

Say hi to Rubymelon!
I changed the color settings a bit to make the spell look more shiny!  This is when Ruby just got holy nova:D

Throwling sparkly heals through the air!

As long as I can remember, I have always always been in a guild with people I know.  I had never been in one of those random lowbie guilds that promote leveling and even "raiding when everyone gets to 80!" So half for fun, and half because I was running RFK with them, I joined their guild.  It was quite amusing.

So it's been a while since wrath has hit, and the craze of power leveling to 80 has calmed down a bit.  I've been away from wow for a week now but it seems as if it has been months.  Winter break has come and my dorm has kicked me out.  I've been on a short vacation trip to Whistler in Canada to enjoy snowboarding and am now staying at my friends house till next year 2009, January 4th.  As the cafe I'm at won't let me connect to wow, I decided to update on my blogging that hasn't happened since wrath came out.  After all, with all the new things to do and places to see, who has time to crop images and write blog entries?

Starting with waiting for wrath to come out.  This shot above is at SW harbor.  There was a mmo post about mob attacks so people were waiting late night to check it out.  Was somewhat bored so I was hanging out with Valura, Schiz and some of their friends.  There was an incident where I met Valerik whom I knew from a guild pre-BC.  I said 'hey val' and realized that the first three letters of his name was the same as Valura's.  Valura didn't take this so well, so, after some suicidal jumps from the walls of SW harbor trying to calm down Valura, who had felt betrayed, everyone enjoyed some water-walking and dueling while waiing for the event to start.

Zarlo got the baron mount from UD Strat.  On his very first farming run at that.  Made some people annoyed/mad since they had been farming UD Strat numerous times for that mount.  I know Val for one had farmed UD over 100 times.  But anyway, grats to Zarlo!

Leaders of each faction got to level before wrath came out.  Horde came to raid and see if they could kill the king of IF.  Things didn't go so well.
The event!

Patch came, and blizz made a mistake where some of the honor items were purchasable for free.  People swarmed over the NPCs trying to look and buy, but blizz made sure to take back the items. Aww hehe.
This is Milk at level 80.  Because I ran so many instances and made sure to finish all the quests in Hellfire and Zangarmarsh, and a majority in Terokkar, I didn't even finish Nagrand quests before hiting level 70.  I picked up the feral staff from Kara, and displayed some tacky fashion.
Wrath hit midnight, and I didn't get my copy until the next day.  I don't have a car, so I didn't have anyway to make it to a gamestop and come back home safely.  This was my first encounter with a death knight as i pranced around in org on my lowbie rogue.


Me and a bunch of other people who got their game the next day, finally excited, on the zepplin that travels to Northerend!  Everyone was yelling their goodbyes to TBC.

Milk's first green item in wrath!  From a quest.

You can't help but love the silly way a cow's legs will squirm as he falls.

I made a death knight! Starts at level 55.Amg!  A lift!  a gondola!  a whatever you want to calls it!

And a canoe ride!

Free willy?

"Ribbit!"

Everything seems to be just so amazing!


So.. there's this turtle ferry.  And this turtle doesn't seem so eager to eat anything, because he is mighty slow.  Not to mention the fact that this turtle ferry doesn't zone as the other transportations do.  He swims the entire route.


Magic carpet ride.  A whole new world~


Parashoot!


On a mammoth with a baby elephunk!

Breathtaking moments.

Baby murlocs!


More baby murlocs!


Lol. Ewwww!

There are times when you run accross a place in wow and for a split second it will keep you in awe. The beauty, the magnitude, the vivid colors. It makes you want to thank the graphic designers, modelers, producers of Wow. For putting in such effort and time and painstaken adjustments to make the world what it is.
