The Levelling Game

Up until Cataclysm hit I was a complete quest junkie. I earned my Loremaster colours with pride and loved hunting down obscure and hidden quests. Since then, however, I’ve undergone a change of heart. Part of what made questing amazing for me, was the fact that you wandered into a town, a bit like a gunslinger [...]

Taking time to smell the flowers

I haven’t really had time to write about my journey to 85. The last ten days has been a hectic swirl of quest, quest, quest, dungeon, dungeon, raid, raid, raid. However, we’re now at 8 out 12 bosses killed and things are starting to calm down a bit. First of all, I play on a [...]

Walking in the Air

This is Kimimela, druid number 4. She’s shown here kidnapping a Murloc which might sound like a horribly undruidic thing to do but said murloc will be far happier being looked after by a nice Undead than shivering on a nasty diseased beach. Honest. I knew even before 4.03 hit that I wanted my first [...]

Questing Favourites: Kalimdor

The fact that you can’t move without falling over some scrap of information about Cataclysm has made me rather nostalgic about the world in it’s current incarnation. I’m currently running around trying to do all the bits and pieces that I love for one last time before they are gone for ever. Questing has always been [...]

The Wrathgate

One of my goals that I desperately wanted to complete before Cataclysm came around was to finish the Wrathgate  and the Battle for Undercity on a horde character. So once I was settled into my new life as a Bloodelf,  I headed off to Dragonblight to track down the horde version of the chain. I’ve [...]

For Gnomeregan!

Although keeping a semi brainwashed army of gnomes for yourself is tempting. Also, why can’t we have an icecream pink, blue and yellow mechanostrider? To join the fight, report to High Tinker  Mekkatorque  in Tinkertown, Ironforge. In your mailbox you should have received a letter from him asking you to come and fight the good [...]

The Many Flavours of Polymorph

Besides Blink my main reason for rolling a Mage in the first place was a certain spell called Polymorph. In fact my addiction is so bad, I’m secretly hoping that Blizzard keep their promise about the Cataclysm dungeons needing CC and lots of it. Anyway, polymorph comes in multiple flavours. The common or garden variety sheep. All [...]

Love, Loathing and Escort Quests

Escort quests are the one type of quest guaranteed to fill me with frustration. Thus it was with interest I noticed a blue post on the subject. Escort quests will still be present in Cataclysm to a degree, but you’ll find that they’ve evolved. Our quest designers have worked very hard to improve the overall gameplay, incorporating [...]

“This is the hour of the Forsaken”

This is Dornröschen, my undead priest who has been languishing at lv 70 mostly ignored since the  start of the  Burning Crusade. I suppose that’s rather appropriate for a character named after “Sleeping Beauty” but now she has awoken and she’s ready to spread chaos throughout Northrend. The server that we normally play on is down for [...]

Loremaster

Finally, I’ve done it. I tracked down those last few remaining quests today and was rewarded with perhaps the ugliest tabard ever. The extra icing on the cake was picking up a leaping hatchling in passing. He’s adorable. I was surprised at just how many quests the Alliance can do in the Barrens but my main tip [...]
