World of Warcraft

Well, since reaching level 70, I haven’t done a lot of questing or hunting. I haven’t done much playing at all, really. I think I average maybe four hours of WoW play a week.

I’ve played my human priest some, just to level her up. She’s level 34, now, and I’ve been following Jame’s Leveling Guide since level 30. The guide is very well done, but I just don’t have the time to put in to really work it. In a twist of circumstances, my three friends who play WoW switched from Horde to Alliance. My main is an orc hunter, so we don’t play together in WoW anymore. That’s why I started trying to fast level my human priest, but it really just isn’t going to work out. They all have more time to put into playing, so I’ll never catch up to them with my Alliance character.

As for my main, most all I’ve been doing with him is flying around Outland on his wyvern. Flying around is a great feature. I did leave Outland for a while to visit Orgrimmar for Brewfest. I had never gotten a character drunk before, but I had heard about it from my friends. I stocked up on a few dozen brews and started guzzling them. Being [virtually] drunk is fun. The view wobbles and gets blurry; when you walk or run, you tend to weave and loose direction. Nice little gimmick, there, Blizzard.

I played last night for a couple hours, and completed some quests in Netherstorm, Outland with my orc hunter. The quests were nothing special, and I only made less than 100 gold, but I thoroughly enjoyed the flying around.

Without friends to join up with on occasion, WoW has lost some of its appeal. Plus, I have a lot of work to do in the evenings, now days, so playing WoW kind of wastes valuable time. I’m considering dropping the subscription again.
