Shared Topic : What needs to die in a fire in Cataclysm?

I have not done on e of these shared topics before as I never really had much to say on any of them, however, this one is great!

Which town, quest, NPC, or zone really needs to be purged with fire, in your opinion? Will you enjoy dancing on the ashes of a particularly hated quest giver? Or is there some zone you avoid like the plague (plaguelands excluded) where being nuked from orbit could only improve the experience? And why do you hate it/them so much?

There are too many for just one…so here is my long list 😀

1 – anything, and I mean anything, near, about, related to or that has any connection to Gnomer the instance – and I mean all quests as well…possibly even tinkertown!! I hated that place possibly the same amount as the next one.

2 – Uldadoom…..yes….I cannot speak anymore about it as it makes me froth at the mouth in anger!

3 – When i was levelling my mage there was a quest in Theramore near one of the guard towers, part of the stupid missing diplomat quest chain I am pretty sure….I failed it so many times i left it alone and came back when I was 80…..that’s two xpacs later – I hated it so much I could not stand it….that also goes for that stupid cow in the hut – Tabitha…yes….she should get her own graveyard.

4 – When doing the starting zone for DK’s there is a quest you need to poke people with a magical stick to get them to talk to you, the first time I ever did that quest t took me close to 50 minutes to complete. Every person I poked did nothing but die. It is a stupid quest and should be removed from the game! I hope they blow up eastern plaguelands and whoever hands you that quests get swallowed by lava!

and finally, the one thing that should be wiped off the face of Azeroth in a huge smelting pot of lava and fire are:

5 – murlocs…all murlocs should be made extinct, oh they are funny and everyone finds them amusing now, but I cannot count the amount of deaths I have chalked up to those horrible things. I often find myself back in SS or Elwynn forest just nuking them for fun and payback….

My blogavesary is coming up soon :D

Yeah on the 14th it will have been one year on this blog 🙂

Feels like it should be more, and I am not sure how I feel that it has only been a year 🙂

I need to do something special, but not sure what?

Any good suggestions?

Time to let it go

Yup, this will be my last post about stepping down, it has been 2 days and so far only my closest friends have said anything, a pool of people smaller in numbers than one hand of fingers.

Yes I am being very self centered, and perhaps idealistic, in hoping that my guild mates would say something, anything to show their support or dissent at the decision.

This leads me to be torn as to the motives behind the lack of chatter, and as I have been reminded so vehemently the last couple of days “ASS / U / ME” is the mother of all cock ups. So I am not even going to go into my theories suffice it to say I am feeling lost in the guild as though I should not be there.

I don’t know where I stand with anyone in the guild now and I think that scares me more than anything else. The last three years I have spent knowing my place and knowing where I fit in, now I am not sure if I am even supposed to be stay in the guild after the way it all went down?

Do guild leaders stay in the guild they step down from if they do it for negative reasons and not just getting too busy in real life reasons? Have others felt this sense of dismemberment from the people?

I am too scared to message people, as I don’t know who are the ones who dislike me, I have had no one actually talk to me since Sunday, and so I am not sure what to do, i didn’t really speak on vents last night or in raid very much as I had no idea what to say. I am second guessing everything about me even being there, do people even give a crap if I am there or not? Would they prefer I wasn’t? Do they have me on mute on vents – which would explain why people sometimes never answer me?

Yeah, defiantely time to let it go. I won’t be posting about this again as there is now nothing to say, i will see how things go once everything has settled down. Maybe I am just being ultra paranoid – or maybe I am right on the money, either way a few weeks from now I will have a better idea…I hope.

behind the curtain..

So since I am no longer beholden to my guild in the sense of protecting their identities as their Guild leader, i am going to throw caution to the wind and I am going to update all my details so you can look up my toons and check me out 🙂 hehehe

So I am in the process of updating my toon and personal pages with all the relevant details so you guys can crituque my crappy toons and tell me how much i suck 🙂 LOL

Feel free to drop past and say hello if you see me running around 🙂

Around and About

So, I though I should add to the buzz about Cata and add some screenies of areas in the game that may be getting overhauled and changed etc that I really adore, there aren’t all that many to be honest, I like lots of places but, as usual, when trying to remember exactly where, I tend to forget…the major problem with my plan was two things, I loved Dalaran and would have taken an entire roll of film on the pink bubble….but well, we all know what happened there, and a lot of my favorite places are actually in Outland and therefore not being altered that we know about 😀

So I trundled about and found some nice shots for you, well I hope they are nice, they could suck immensely 😀  I have had to place the thumbnails here, so click on them for the full versions.  I didn’t want to cut them down in size to fit the style of my blog as I think it would lose the beauty 😀

This is a very old screenshot I took many many moons ago, of me on top of a boat leaving Exodar….I love that we used to be able to climb the boats….hence why it is in this post….nostalgia coming out I know 😀

Stormwind!  My first character (still the one i plat as my main) 5 years later is still in awe when she walks into this city.  I love this screenie!  I really love it.

Exodar, yes I know not entirely valid as not likely to be mutated, but It is still one of the prettiest cities!

Boating into Auberdine always impresses me with the super long dock and the wonderful boats anchored….

A couple of statues that I adore whilst being in Ashenvale.  It just adds to the age.

Shrine of Aessina :  Gorgeous little secluded place.

Maestra’s post – I love this place…I don’t know why!

I can’t remember it’s name right now, but I love this swirly cortex of death!

The Shrine.  This was one of the most wonderful things I ever noticed in game, and was even more impressed when i read up about what it was for. Blizz never disappoint when it comes to adding memorials for those who loved the game.

Barrens Wildlife 🙂  I had just come down from the shrine when these little guys ran straight up to me.  One of the things I hope they add more off in Cata 😀

If I get a chance I may do some more in the next few weeks….we’ll see how that goes!

New site I think

I am currently working on moving my blog to a new and sexy version hosted by me 😀

Have requested the web designing husband to create me a site that looks awesome, well in my head it looks awesome – it may not translate to anything so cool once done.

I am also going to be playing with the guild forums as well, am thinking of moving them across to the wordpress platform as well entirely as they have forum plugins which could be pretty cool. I do like the phpbb3 forum set up though and am not sure if the wordpress forum is as configurable, but I guess there is no harm in trying 🙂 eheheh

I might spend some time next weekend on working on it and coming up with some ideas 🙂 As it is I still have never really finished the guild website…I do feel bad about that occasionally, but I think there are only about 5 people that really use the forums, and yes they may be underrated but in future, if we want to expand as a guild having forums is a good way to go I think 😀

Had a thought about perhaps staying as a 10 man guild, but expanding how many teams we have. You know I was ready about a couple of guilds the other day, and there are so many out there that have different 10 man groups…at different times and raid days etc, I found it fascinating. It is like mini guilds within a big guild all working together and I thought that sounded awesome.

For example you could have a morning raid group, a weekend raid group and a midday group, but generally we will all cross paths etc, and it means you always have people online to do things with and you have a nice big pool of people for professions etc…

It would be difficult from a logistic perspective, but you just have as many raid leaders/officer type people as there are groups and go from there. It also means people can run with more than one toon -i could run my pally in the weekend team if they were short a tank etc….

Might be something to ponder 😀

Officerchat gone as well?

Anyone know what has happened to officerchat.com?

Seems to have gone down the well ???

magecraft.org gone bye bye, WTF?!?!?

So I went to log back onto magecraft.org,  now that I am playing again only to find the boards are shut down?

Anyone in the blogosphere know why or when or what happened?

I really like the forums for mages….I need a new place to haunt now… 😦
