Yes, it is true. This is Petoholics Anonymous’ 100th post. Still young and going strong! 🙂
If 100 posts wasn’t good enough…Niqora has reached level 60! This is the farthest I have ever gotten a character. Having played this game for oh, a year and a half, it may not seem that impressive. Considering my busy schedule and rampant altitis, I’m pretty proud of myself. To make things even better, Niqora met up her friend Bursthoof and he accompanied her for her first time through the Dark Portal. We look so tiny standing before it.
To some players, the Outland is a place of phat lewt and other goodies. Loot is nice and all…but what I’m looking forward to is exploring a new vast area, doing interesting quests, and of course being able to own my own flying mount.
A whole new world awaits us, Blacky.
Let’s ride out.
Well, I’ve been busy at my brand new work practicum, which basically means that instead of going to school for 4 weeks, I’m working at a local phone company for no pay. Pay would be nice but other than that, everything’s been really great. Everyone’s nice and apparently everything I do is “awesome”. That’s always nice to hear 🙂 It kind of eerie to see stuff that I’ve done being put up on a website that all of Manitoba visits.
Somehow sitting in front of a computer all day seems to take a lot out of me 😛 so I’ve just been going home and watching TV or movies before going to bed. I did spend one night on tech support for my brother’s computer. That in itself was an interesting experience. The guy was really nice but apparently a little forgetful when he asked me what error messages I was getting after I had told him that the problem was the monitor was coming up blank. Can’t really see any error messages when nothing will appear on the screen. Later on in the conversation, he asked me to download the driver from their website. Yeah…still having a blank screen so that may be a little difficult.
So, WoW-wise, Nicora got all her Warsong marks so she never EVER needs to go back there again. Also, I finally transferred her to Moon Guard, where Bursthoof is waiting for her. The problem is that the name Nicora is already taken on Moon Guard so my Nicora was tagged to be renamed. I do love that name but I realized that this is a free opportunity to give her a unique name that really shows her character.
*stares blankly at the renaming dialog box, fingers poised over the keyboard*
Dang it, I can’t just name my lovely tauren anything else. She IS Nicora!
*stares some more*
*slowly types in* N-I-Q-O-R-A
Meh, close enough. The name “Niqora” is completely unique (at least according to the Armory) yet is still close enough to “Nicora” for it to seem not too foreign. So my main character will now be known as Niqora…which I know I’m going to spell wrong at least once before I get used to it.
/blink blink
Did anyone else notice what was apparently some downtime? I’m not sure when exactly it started because everything was fine last night when I checked it. Anyways, I seemed to have fixed it, looks like the culprit was a plugin that I had recently installed.
On to other news…I have decided I will be transferring Nicora from Hydraxis to Moon Guard soon. The only thing that I’m waiting for is to say Nicora’s final goodbyes to her guildies. I’d like to thank all of commenters who gave me their 2 cents, especially after having to read through that long and rambling post. Nicora’s not going to be lonely on Moon Guard, as that is where Anu is already hanging out. And I will still have Machalor, Aithne, and Khaja on Hydraxis so I will still be around, just not as much. This does give me a reason to speed-level one of the Hydraxis characters, because otherwise I’ll have to listen to Moko bug me even longer about not having a level 70 😛
I did talk the whole thing over with Noko (who in turn will tell Moko about it. When it comes to couples, tell one of them something means that the other will eventually hear it). She was sad to hear that Nicora was leaving but she was really glad that I talked it over with her first and didn’t just leave abruptly. And since we both came to realization that I’ll still be around Hydraxis, it made the whole thing a little easier. Somehow it still feels like I’m moving away from good friends!
Having said my little piece, I’d like to say a warm welcome back to Hawk, who after a rest from WoW has now come back and is planning to have lots of fun. I’ve been watching her blog and even chatting with her a little during her hiatus and I’m just that she’s just enjoying herself, whether it be with WoW or otherwise.
And to finish with some completely random stuff:
My brother’s car “disappeared” last night. What I mean by disappeared is that it either got towed to another street because the city is street cleaning (we checked the streets around our apartment but found nothing), or…someone stoled it. I hope it was just towed and we missed it somehow. Either way, due to it going missing, I had to stay up late last night looking for it and get up earlier than usual this morning because he needed to drive me to school and then drive himself to his exam. Not fun stuff.
And is it hypocritical if I eat beef jerky while playing a tauren? Especially after I berated Mr. Paladin for killing a minotaur in Oblivion?
