My characters
RL stealing me away
Jul 13th
It’s been too quiet around here, I know. I miss blogging, but my recent circumstances have been a huge drain on my time and unfortunately, it won’t be getting better anytime soon (in fact, I am writing this at lunch because that’s often the only time I get to write). My dad died at the
Where I’m heading
May 3rd
Comments are off because this was not written to fish for encouragement or praise or “don’t go”s. —————————— I’m teetering. Teetering on the edge of going casual. Or quitting. Or taking a break that works for a while but then I come back later but it’s not the same so I quit again. I really
The single most frustrating part of Warcraft and why it pushes me ever closer to quitting the game
Apr 13th
The most frustrating problem in Warcraft is none of the things that you have seen people write about lately. [...]
My mage Power Aura system – Part 1
Apr 3rd
This is off-topic, but a bunch of people wanted to see how I did this, and I’ve had a lot of comments from people about it. So here it is – how I have Power Auras play my mage for me. [...]
The eleventh hour
Dec 6th
I haven’t capped my Justice Points. Yeah, I probably should have, it will help with raid prep.. but I just couldn’t bring myself to mindlessly do dungeons with everyone else, when there was so much to see. Boring. And if I’m a few pieces of gear behind the curve, oh well.
I didn’t do the 25 dailies. I was going to, but I’ll be levelling with a friend who *won’t* do them, so why bother being 300k ahead of him? And again, doing old daily quests when there is so much new content out there – nah. I’ll be right. [...]
(some) Lowbie tanks: god’s gift to WoW
Dec 6th
Doing some lowbie instances with my boyfriend last night; he is DPS, I am healing (druid #8, heehee).
Wailing Caverns pops up. OK, cool, I’m curious to see what’s changed. Um, has anything changed, as far as the layout goes? It seemed the same to me.
Anyway, the warrior tank that we had wasn’t doing so great, he had troubles holding mobs, but I put that down to the fact that the enhance shammy was in BOA gear. He also didn’t know his way around WC at all, so I figured he was a new player, so I went easy on him. [...]
The Shattering – first impressions
Nov 25th
Ok, I’ll admit it – I cried.
First, I have to explain that I didn’t immediately log onto Keeva when I got home yesterday – I felt like I couldn’t. So I logged onto my rogue, who had been left at Camp Taurajo.
Now, I knew that Taurajo was going to be in ruins, but even so.. [...]
Cataclysm professions part 1: Why I’m now an Engineer
Nov 19th
This is part one in a two part series on Cataclysm professions. Part two will be a summary of each profession and its perks, so you can decide what you’d like to be in Cataclysm. But enough about you, let’s talk about me! [...]
Cataclysm: I don’t want to be a noob! (no spoilers, just rambles)
Sep 15th
Is anyone else out there feeling a bit nervous about having to make big adjustments, and feeling like you won’t know your class? It’s probably more the case for those bloggers who likes to produce guides or tips for stuff – I know Lissanna is running in circles trying to get a handle on how to heal in Cataclysm. I think I’m worse – I can’t even get into the beta to try things out (broken as they may be). [...]
Returning to my roots (yuk yuk)
Sep 9th
My very first character was a Night Elf warrior. I played her for ten levels or so, and decided that a sword just wasn’t doing it for me – so I logged out again and went back through my user manual to find a class that fit me better.
The original WoW cinematic helped me to make up my mind; the idea of shapeshifting into a sleek panther and bounding down a cliff face (like it was nothing) was sexy. I wanted to do that! [...]
My name is Emma and I live in Australia. I’ve been gaming on and off since I was about 11. I won’t tell you exactly how long ago that was, let’s just say long enough.
