WOTLK

When it first came out, I didn't get it. Everyone in my guild got it. I waited about a month before buying it.

Why? Because I'm a bum. Also, I hate crowds. There will be crowds of Level 70 people leveling in the same damn place!

Also, I'm a bum. Did I mention that yet?

I spent the month browsing the internet and reading naughty manga scanlations online. :D
Then, I decided "Ok! Gonna get my wrath fix."

That's when my ole faithful network provider bellied up. Or according to "official sources", some internet cable went pfft underwater.

Right. Despite the fact that internet issues happen like clockwork twice a year every year since I subscribed to this service, I'm to blame the ocean bed for my net woes.

Nuts! It turned out it was true.

My area is infamous for being the last or next-to-last area to get full internet back by the way. So another month went by while I went "Grr" at the internet.

By the time I got back, everyone's 80 and raiding. :(

Poop.

That Which Began It All

When starting a game-based blog, there are a few ways you can go about it. Ideally, you want to present a unique perspective with enough wit and intelligent content to amuse and educate your readers.

This may not be that blog!

My credentials are as follows:

Main Character: Level 70-ish former BM-turned-survival hunter (gamer with a tendency to want to do many things without having to work hard at it).

Reason for joining: I work with my guild leader and he bugged me for a year to buy the game and join his guild. So, I joined this game for fun and am constantly bemused by the amount of research and work that "fun" requires sometimes.

Now I continue to play, because he kicks my chair at work when I slack off.

My Cohorts: I am part of a casual raiding guild filled with a lot of great, nurturing people on a PVE server.

As my diabolically evil, harsh taskmaster of a Guild Leader describes us:

"...we raid but we're not progression raiding. We don't care how long it takes to clear the place as long as we have fun doing it."

Level of Dedication: Not a number-crunching type and major changes in skills after patches befuddle me. I rely on everyone else to do the hard work and strategy-devising. Then, I follow what they say with minor modifications -- I am capable of some thought processing.

I really hate to do much reading and research when I have a lot of hobbies other than WoW. However, my guildies only let me get away with so much, so I take the time to learn more about playing my class and usually manage to cheat a little by skimming through raid strategies so that I get the basic idea of major fights.

So.

Perhaps this blog will be about how to act like a semi-competent hunter when you're a huntard at heart.

Hah.
