Ever heard of spell check?

Considering that you get a name change thrown in too and you can change everything aside from race and class it’s worth paying double if you where going to shell out for a name change.

I enjoy playing along side a leveling partner but only have my sister who plays occasionally and her main is Alliance where mine is on Horde. (Level 73 Tauren Druid).

I play a Draenai Shaman (lvl65) alongside her Mage.

I just can’t stand the solo grind on my main at the moment.

I feel most of the “fixes” and “additions” added in WOTLK that have been brought to Blizzards attention over a year ago should of been rolled out in free patches. Not wait over a year for a paid expansion to include a calendar!

And the soundtrack is utterly, utterly gorgeous.

An unbelievably epic expansion.

Sometime during that period of downtime, Blizzard decided to ban my account. My $80 Collector’s Edition account. If they notified me in any way, I never got it. And when I tried to dispute things when I found out about it, I got brushed off without explanation. So as much as I would sincerely love to play more WoW, I can’t help but feel that investing further money in an MMO run by them would be a decidedly foolish thing to do.

So quit making me want to go back. ;P

Even though I don’t play WOW, I still kinda want to see those green Draenor seas in WOW, as well as more oil-based technology (AND dragon-releasing air carriers, which didn’t even made it into WC2). It’s as if Blizzard has retconned an entire type of natural resource out of existence!

Lemmie ask: if I were to find a group of WoW players (WoWzers?) and play with them, would I find it more enjoyable? I only ask because I feel I may have gone about my trial all wrong, as tooling about solo in WoW seems equivalent to playing TF2 by myself.

Am I wrong for making these connections? Admittedly, every fantasy setting has attempted the themes mentioned anyway, but it appears to me that the only way to make a truly compelling “you’re a hero even though your surrounded by 11 million other heroes” is to involve a form of instancing?

I really do want to see a developer attempt a new version of EvE and see how that works out. At least then the game evolves to the players whims and things remain interesting. Or at least it makes good reading thanks to Jim’s reporting.

Zul’Drak didn’t help after the beauty of Grizzly Hills, but I had something of an existential crisis about what was the point of ploughing hours and hours (4hrs and up each day) into a game where I didn’t really enjoy the day to day gameplay, more just the materialism of getting new stuff. Plus I was excited about WotLK as I came to the WoW thang late after Burning Crusade was already out and so this was finally my chance to be amongst the top echelon of players in terms of gear etc, but unfortunately having to hold down a real job meant I was already seriously behind after 3 or 4 days.

I terms of the Wrathgate questline; I really wanted to like this, and on some level I did, but contrary to the experiences of Alec and a lot of others was, for me, a feeling of being completely disconnected. Unfortunately when I did it no others were in my instance (or phase or whatever they call it) but even so it was obvious that I wasn’t really needed so I pretty much spent my time watching lots of guys pile on Thrall. Plus as a ‘lock the general enemies died far too quickly for me to really do anything useful so I ending up spamming hellfire and waiting for another group to die.

I genuinely feel I’ve reclaimed a large chunk of my life by quitting WoW, it’s fantastic.
