WoW Chix

**NOTE: This post may be a little hard to follow since my mind is going 20 miles a minute and my fingers can barely type fast enough to keep up!**

… And the new GM is me. Most of the players (all the higher levels) decided to re-roll on another server because "the economy sucks and there are too many kids playing on this server!" Um… guys what guys? There are kids on EVERY server. There are going to be children (or even adults in their twenties-thirties) that are going to harass you, beg you for shit, harass you some more, ask you to help them to quest even though you’re level 70 and they’re level 5… you can’t get away from this. You cannot escape the stupid people and you can’t get away from a fluctuating economy. Ghostlands is a newer server. It’s going to be a while before it reaches any form of "normal" so your best bet is just to sit back and relax and enjoy the game. I was talking to a guildie about all this. She and her husband play together and have made a few toons and share a lot of the same views as I do on the game. I’m basically gonna say everything I said to her Tuesday night. A guild master is only as strong as it’s lowest level-noob player.

A guild master is nothing with his or her guildies. The guild members MAKE the guild. So all these guild masters who treat their guildies like crap can go suck a nut. I’ve been in a lot of guilds in my (almost) 4 years of playing. And I’ve met a lot of GM’s that think they poop marshmallows and pee sweet tea and that the world revolves around them. It was all about loot for them… and power I suppose. "We have to be top guild!" and all that crap. *rolls eyes* They decide to treat their guildies like shit, treat them unfairly and such… they had rude awakenings when they found themselves with no guildies left to raid with because they all left for other guilds. Then when they didn’t have enough people to raid with, whined and begged people to come back because they couldn’t get anymore epic lootz yo! Kiss them bye bye, boo hoo, whatever.

I don’t want to be one of those guild masters. When I had my guild over on Turalyon, it was awesome. We all enjoyed playing with each other (heh.. hehe… that sounded dirty *giggles*) and we had fun doing 5 mans. We all completed each other rather well in instances. But when it came time for Kara, we just couldn’t get it going. All of our schedules were out of whack and we just couldn’t get the right classes on at the right time, so we disbanded and joined other guilds. I loved being guild master of that guild. I miss it a lot. We had a lot of fun.

With this guild, I’d like to be in Kara by the end of the month. That’s a reasonable goal. I’m not in a huge rush to get to 25 man content. We’ll get there when we’re ready. But until then getting everyone keyed and ready for Kara is my focus… but I want to enjoy the ride. So many people just rush to 70 and the game becomes almost like a job to them. They spend so much time worrying about gear and money and mounts and whatever the hell else. Yes the game is about that stuff… but that’s not ALL it’s about. I don’t want to play a game that seems like work. Quite honestly a lot of the people I talk to in raiding guilds, like the hardcore guilds, they make it sound so shitty to be there. It’s nothing but having their GM yell at them about "getting geared, killing this boss, better gear, grind this rep, more gear, grind this much money for the guild and blah blah blah" I can’t take that shit.

I pay $15 month just like everyone else… I’m going to play how I want to play, not how someone else wants me to. I take my time leveling my toons. I’m in no rush to get to 70 on my lock. Yeah it’ll be great once I get there. But I enjoy doing the quests, reading the story line and crafting and meeting new people and talking time to talk to them. I’m addicted to making alts because I enjoy the leveling aspect of the game the most. So many people just speed to 70 and don’t enjoy the ride. I’m one of those people that do the grey quests because they want to do every quest they can. I get so far ahead of myself in XP I end up with green and grey quests and so many people say, "Oh just skip them, it’s not worth it." Well, it is to me. Rob tells me, "It’s a waste of time to run around turning in certain quests because you do more central quests and get quicker XP." I like running from one continent to the other to turn something in. This part is gonna make me sound like a total geek… but I kind of like role playing with WoW. Not as most RP’ers do, though. I like thinking of myself as a message carrier that could get totally ripped apart by hiyenas taking a package from Crossroads to Ratchet. *shrug* I don’t think like that all the time. But sometimes it’s fun. It’s a game. And this game to me, helps me keep my imagination in good shape =) Sounds totally retarded to most of you I’m sure *sigh* Blah.

Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. I just need to end the post now lol. Bottom line, I’m gonna keep the guild going at a casual pace and we’ll take it a step at a time until we get to where we all want to be as a guild… working together, not against each other. Good night, y’all.

P.s. Right now, I’ve got Amedeah in the que for transfer. Apparently they are having issues with transferring toons to other server *sigh* So it might be a little while before I have her. Let’s hope it’s not too long of a wait.

I was hoping to be able to transfer my Priest over to Ghostlands tonight. But it was a no go; I didn’t get to the bank in time to put the extra cash in my account so I couldn’t pay for it. I know, I’m lame *throws tomato at self* Bah! Boo! Hiss! Maybe Monday lol.

I feel kind of accomplished this week. I got the new front page up and even though it still needs some tweaking it doesn’t look like total shit which is awesome. It was quite a feat making everything look even REMOTELY how I wanted it to. Joomla was being a bitch, so I had to throw down *tough look* I also got my new guilds forums up and running, woot woot!

I plan on hitting 40 this weekend with Baellatrix. She’s sitting at 37.5 right now haha. So I don’t have much farther to go. I didn’t really play much yesterday or today. I hopped on today to turn in the quest for some blue robe that looks pretty nifty. But other than that, I didn’t do much. I was busy watching scary flicks with the hubby.

Anywho, I’m actually gonna try to squeeze some time in now, maybe see if I can’t make the push to 38 tonight at least. The hubby is sleeping (and snoring I might add) so I think I’ve got at least a solid hour or so. *cracks knuckles* Time to get to work

HOLY HELL I’M BACK! And damn does it feel good! I was going crazy not having my site. Our server got fried and I’ve been down for about 2 months now. But I’m back and in a blogging mood so look out people!

Rob and I made toons over on the Ghostlands server because right now I’m SO sick of Turalyon. I have a couple good friends there but I just can’t stand playing there anymore. I can never find good groups. So many of the people I find there have either bought their accounts and don’t know how to play… or are 14 year old boys that once they find out I’m a girl lose their heads and turn to mush. *sigh*

I made a Warlock, Baellatrix. I named her after Rob’s pally on our other server, Baell. She’s Affliction so far. More than likely gonna stay that way. I likey the DPS. I liked my other Warlock that I had (also Affliction) (currently sitting on Duskwood at lvl 42) so I decided to make another one. Rob made a hunter, Rofocale, since he’s never had one past lvl 10, which is sad because lvl 10 is when it all starts for a hunter lol. He’s lvl 37, I’m lvl 33 (will be at least 35-36 by the end of the night). We found a nice guild there… let’s hope this one lasts.

<Sovereign> has nice people. A large handful of 70’s and loads of 60’s working their way up the food chain. The guild has proven to be totally member oriented (i.e. making sure everyone has mats for skilling up, always getting groups together for quests, instances, etc.). I’ve noticed that the higher lvls and 70’s really don’t mind taking time out of their day to help lowbies with things or to donate items. That’s something you don’t see every day. I’m leveling up in chanting on this toon and someone asked if anyone needed stuff out of the guild bank. I told them I’d take any lower lvl chanting mats if they weren’t needed. The next day my inbox was bombed with mails with mats lol. My bank alt has so much crap that needs to get donated to the bank it’s not even funny. Like 2 bags full of stuff lol. I keep forgetting to do that *makes mental note* But so far there’s been no issues in that guild. Good sense of humor and helpfulness =) I likes.

Anywho, I’ve got some more server crap to deal with. My other sites are still down and I’m not too happy about that. So I suppose that this is all for now. I’m sure there will be yet another blog at some point today/tonight.

Cheers,

My confessions:

I play WoW with my husband… I’ve beaten him to 70 (Horde side) twice. But on our Alliance toons, I let him 70 first. I stopped 3 bars short, so he could ding first. *sigh*

My mage is specc’d Spellcloth. When people mail me mats to make Spellcloth, I’ll make the 2 peices and send them one and sell the other. Unless they ask me if I’m specc’d, then I say yes and give them both.

I almost never give a damn about threat unless it’s a boss fight. Most of the time, I’m playing my priest, so I just heal myself. But on my mage, I make the healer work twice as hard =)

When I play my husband’s toon… I have to re-arrange his bags. I’m hardcore OCD when it comes to clean and neat bags in WoW. I sort all his food, pots, bandages, quest items, things to AH and whatever else, into seperate bags. I do the same with mine.

I try to do every single quest in every zone when I level my toons. But I always skip instances until later levels… I hate them with a passion.

I hate playing with other players just to do quests. So if someone asks me to "group up for a quest" I always say no.

I’ve been playing my Rogue a lot lately. I pretty much gave up on playing Horde at this point, since they’re all a bunch of idiots (no offense to my friends on Turalyon). Surprisingly, I have actually enjoyed playing on the Alliance side for once. I’ve worked pretty hard to get my Rogue up to a decent level (67 now btw) and get her as geared as I can without spending a crap load of money. I have stayed out of instances pretty much though and that’s probably a bad thing. I just haven’t had the time, to be honest. (I’ve been dealing with a lot of family issues the last few weeks.)

I wore crafted gear for the most part (chest, gloves, pants and boots) until recently. And at the moment I’m working on rep with the Consortium so that I can get all my Fel Skin set. I made my gloves yesterday. Here’s my armory link so you can check em out and see what gems I threw in. Hopefully the rep grind won’t be so bad. I’ve never had to grind rep for actual items. Just for the Heroics and what not. So we’ll see how much it really sucks lol.

Ta!

There are some stupid people in the game. I mean it’s a given with any game really… or anything in life. People are just stupid and don’t have common sense *sigh* So I was sitting in Orgimmar searching the AH for Dreamfoil because I needed to make some Adept’s Elixirs. There were 3 single pieces and a stack of 5. The singles were 1.25, 1.30 and 1.37g. The stack of 5 was 5g even. So I put in trade channel, “Looking for [Dreamfoil] LOTS of it. Paying 1g per.” I figured that was fair since the stack of 5 was 5g. I mean 20g for a stack of damned Dreamfoil is more than fair. At least in my opinion. Anyway, so someone responds to me and asks me to pay 100g for 90 pieces. I basically said, no, that’s more than 1g per and that’s all I’m willing to pay. I told I’m pay him 90g and that was it. He said he wasn’t sure. So I waited a bit and asked him if he was ok with that and if not let me know so I can find some somewhere else. He said he was, just give him a minute. So I waited… and waited… aaaaaand waited. WTF. I finally messaged him back and said, “Well we got a deal or not?” and he said, “I decided to keep it for when I level up my alchemy.” I had the strongest urge to say, “Well Jesus tap dancing Christ you fuckwad! Why didn’t you just say that in first place instead of fiddle-dickin’ around?” But, I really wasn’t in the mood to get reported tonight *sigh* Asshat. So, to sum it all up, I hate people sometimes. Yes, Greg, only sometimes… bastards. *shakes head*

I, myself, have become addicted to Twitter thanks to my husband =/ *gares evily at Rob* So I decided to make a Twitter account for WoWChix =)

So apparently this Sunday, certain Best Buys will be hosting this “Wii For Women” event. I guess they are trying to appeal to the female gaming community or maybe just trying to gather more females to spend money on their overpriced games? I dunno. But, despite the fact that I don’t really like Best Buy, it sounds like fun. It sounds like a neato idea *shrug* I don’t know if the one near us is doing it or not. I should look into that =)

If any of you gals end up going to one, please let me know what it was like and how it was

Do you ever start doing something in the game and you just really get in the groove and completely lose track of time? Today I was lying on my bed with my lap top on my tummy farming herbs while watching some much missed digital cable haha. Since I’ve gotten my epic mount on Amedeah (the Horde Priest) farming has become oh-so-easy and I don’t mind it so much anymore. So today I went out and decided to start from Hellfire and work my way to Terokkar, then to Zangar, then to BEM and finally over to Netherstorm. I filled 2 20 slot herb bags JAM PACKED FULL of herbs and motes lol. I didn’t expect to gather that many, quite honestly.

I had been waiting until 3pm to call my admissions advisor at OCA (Orlando Culinary Academy) to reschedule my appointment. I was almost back around to Area 52 when all the sudden I shot up like a bullet and said (in a rather loud voice), “OH FUCK ME!!!!! WHAT TIME IS IT!!!???!!!” Yeeeaaaaaah, my dog barked at me, which totally made me laugh, actually, out loud. He looked concerned for a moment before laying is 15lb head back down on the bed. With the appointment rescheduled, I went back on my merry way gathering more herbs lol.

It kinda pisses me that I’ve still only made ONE friggin’ discovery in Alchemy. I mean COME ON! I’ve made THOUSANDS of potions… I so totally lost count, it’s not even funny. And I’ve made ONE freaking discovery. I think Blizz secretly hates me… bastards. Anyway…

I felt the urge to blog about… “something,” so I did and there it is. Good night.

So today is the big 2.4 patch that we have all been waiting for. I’m rather excited. I’ll be logging on to my Priest to head over to the new quest hub. I plan on making the trip with Rob (who is working from home today) and our good friend Matt. Hopefully it’s all it’s cracked up to be. We might try to get a group together for the new 5 man as well; we’ll see how that pans out.

My rogue hit 61 like 2 nights ago. I moved into Zangar Marsh woot! The hubby’s been doing a good job at keeping up with me haha. I still haven’t really learned how to play a Rogue in an instance. So I need to get some experience under my belt. I mean I get the gist and all that. Shoulnd’t be too hard.

In other non-WoW related news, I’m going back to school in May and I’m so fucking excited I can’t even think about anything else haha. I decided to go to culinary school for the Baking and Patisserie program at Orlando Culinary Academy. I start May 19. I went to financial aid workshop thingy last night to get some initial paperwork done. We’re gonna be paying outta pocket for some of the stuff, but that’s ok, what are rich husbands for *winks*

Anywho, I just wanted to drop a quick line. I really should update more often. I’ll kick myself later for it Cheers!
