I will be making a new blog in the next few weeks - though I'm sure no one is even reading this anyways. I am getting my new laptop soon, and being able to play WoW on higher settings than low will make for better screenshots and material for me to blog about. I'll post the link here when I get to it, in case anyone actually does read it/come across it.
Stay tuned for my adventures on my Paladin in Pandaria!</center>

Just thought I'd share this. My boyfriend hopped on my Druid's back while she was a Stag... For some reason it made him hop on backwards. </center>

<center>
I'm looking through screenshots, and I'm really starting to despise how I play on low settings. I wish October would get here already. October 25 I turn 21, and I'll be rewarding myself to a brand new Sager laptop with my leftover student loans.

Here I am, on the morning before Mists of Pandaria, and not even a piece of me is excited. I really want to be excited, I really do, but I just can't seem to muster up that emotion. I think I'm afraid of the new changes that are coming; afraid that the game I've grown to love is going to be so different that I won't want to play it anymore.<div>
When Cataclysm was a week away, I was so excited that I could barely contain myself. I remember trying to get my copy at midnight so I could play it as the servers went live. I didn't get it at that time, but when I did get it, I was shaking with excitement to play.</div>
<div>
Since Blizzard announced their new installment for WoW, I've been trying to get excited. I've been trying so hard, but I just can't shake the feeling that I may not like the changes. I don't know how I feel about a Harvest Moon type game in the MMO I've grown to love. I don't know how I'll like the new raids, talents, abilities, or even if I'll like Monks. I putted around on the Beta a couple days here and there (though I tried mostly to stay away as to not ruin the game) and the game felt so... different. Not a bad different necessarily, but it seemed like a whole different game.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I won't miss Cataclysm. A piece of me might, but overall, I barely even liked this expansion. I PvPed most of the way through to stay away from the raiding scene. I had worn myself out on raiding in Wrath, I didn't want to do it again. My friends called me back to their server, and they wanted me to raid. I raided DS every week since January until the first week of September. I saw Heroic Spine so many times, that that fight is embedded behind my eyeballs. We didn't necessarily kill him every week, most of the people in our group decided to slack off by then. Raiding was a huge headache.</div>
<div>
I don't even know what the new raids look like. I have barely tried playing a Monk. I am extremely iffy on the new factions, pet battles, and the 'create your own farm' deal. I hope when I get to play after classes tomorrow that I'll have more fun than I'm anticipating. This game has always had a special place in my heart, and I really hope they didn't mess up what I've grown to love.</div>

I was messing around with MogIt on my Paladin, and I realize every time I go to look for new sets I always look for different shades of Blue or Gold. I ended up creating a set out of these two colors, and I love it to death! I don't know if I have the patience to actually get the pieces myself, but maybe one day. I do adore it quite a bit. My WoW Model Viewer is acting up, so I took screenshots directly from my MogIt.</center>

<br />
Different choices for weapons. This is what I show:<br />
1H Mace: <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=72804">Dragonshrine Sceptor</a><br />
This one may match better, couldn't find an exact match:<br />
1H Mace: <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=49783">Lucky Old Sun</a><br />
And for shields:<br />
<a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=14982">Exalted Shield</a> or <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=34675">Sunward Crest</a> or even <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/item=10195">Crusader's Shield</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
There's a bit of flexibility with the weapons, I couldn't find an exact match in colors, but Lucky Old Sun seems close enough to me. The shields all match pretty well, Crusader's Shield being the best of the three, in my opinion. I was testing this out on my Blood Elf, but this set looks really great on a Draenei!</center>

A bit before Cata launched, I rolled a human female Warlock named Kittale. I rolled her on a new sever, on a faction I hadn't played since I first picked up WoW. I had no desire to actually get her all the way to 80, and ended up ditching her around level 30. Soon after Cata came out, I went back to her, and actually leveled her all the way to 85. I had a blast! It was so much fun taking my time and reading the quests, and playing the Alliance side of things for a change.<div>
Sadly, soon after I reached 85, I grew tired of the Warlock class, and ended up deleting her. This was after I had brought the vast majority of my Horde characters over to Stormrage. I never once thought about her after that. I think I had a GM undelete her at one point, but she just ended up being disposed of again a mere month or so later.</div>
<div>
Why am I telling you this? Because I have once again decided to level another Warlock. Not on Alliance, and not without heirlooms, but on my 'main' server. It took me a while to decide on a race for this Warlock. I rolled an Undead, an Orc, and at one point, a Troll. I ended up making a mental list that went something like this:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Orcs:</div>
<div>
Annoying casting animations (I prefer them strictly as melee or Hunters.)</div>
<div>
I can't stand female Orcs in dresses. Just does not look right.</div>
<div>
I can't give them a sexy transmog because they aren't.. well, sexy in that sense.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Troll:</div>
<div>
Also have annoying casting animations. My Shadow Priest was Troll for a bit.. bleh.</div>
<div>
That two-toed thing.. I may end up race changing my Druid in MoP because of that.</div>
<div>
The way they walk - hate it, hate it, hate it. They just look ridiculous!</div>
<div>
Not enough choices for hairstyles/faces/etc. I like variety, not looking like everyone else.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Undead:</div>
<div>
Don't particularly like the female's casting animations. They're different.. but meh.</div>
<div>
Can't sexily transmog them when their bones stick out everywhere.</div>
<div>
I'm not very fond of Undead females. I used to have a male Undead mage: love them a lot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So then it came to Goblins vs Blood Elves. I like Goblins (my SPriest is one herself), but I didn't feel like going through their whole starting zone again.. Not to mention they're so tiny that it's hard to make a great transmog on them.</div>
<div>
That left me with Blood Elves. After all that, I finally decided. I used to love Blood Elves, they were my favorite race Horde side. Anymore, I think the vast majority of my toons Horde side are Orcs. Never saw that one happening, but they have grown on me. I still wish I had made my second Warrior an Orc rather than a Blood Elf. More fitting..</div>
<div>
Anyways, I am now leveling a Blood Elf Warlock named Heartsonfire. I will just be questing with maybe a few dungeons thrown in here and there, but I really want to see how long it takes me to hit 85 - eventually 90. This will be a fun journey I hope!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also have been unable to get accustomed to the whole TukUI set up.. I think I will go back to my boring and bland Dominos set up. I can't stand having my VuhDo to the side and my Portrait/health frames down towards my action bars. Can't get used to it, sadly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

I haven't posted in a few days, weekdays are a little hectic for me. Have classes Tuesday and Thursday plus two online classes - I had a lot of homework to finish off. 12 hours worth, to be exact. I have a lot more to work on this weekend, but for now, I am taking a break and playing some good ol' World of Warcraft.<br />
<br />
I have been steadily leveling a Night Elf Druid to 85 on Kel'thuzad, (and by steadily, I mean <b>steadily</b>) and I recently hooked my boyfriend into rolling a Death Knight after he ditched his Mage around level 40. <strike>On the days he is unavailable to level with me, I've decided I want to roll a Shaman. I want to see how long it takes me to get up to 85 (and eventually 90 once MoP hits.) Fastest I've ever achieved was about 3 days /played, but that was also before the patch that nerfed experience needed.</strike> I am scratching this idea for now.. I may or may not level another character over on Kel'thuzad before I acquire heirlooms. In the meantime, I'm not sure what I'm doing!<br />
Anyways, to start off my journey, I fixed up my UI. It was time for a new one, my old one was cluttered and messy. I picked up TukUI and added a few addons and tweaks of my own to it - I really love it! It really is a nice, neat UI. I do not like the portraits/health frames being at the bottom, but I'll see if I eventually grow to like it. I guess I'm just so used to looking up towards the top of my screen. Now if I can find a way to move my stance bar to a more opportune place than the top left of my screen..<br />
I will keep my blog updated as I go on another journey with a new character who also has no heirlooms.<br />
<br />
I have zero persistent readers at the moment - but I hope over time I will attract a few people.</center>

<br />
<a href="http://mop.wowhead.com/spell=56382/glyph-of-crittermorph">Glyph of Crittermorph</a> is still extremely hysterical to me. I find it funny to walk around in a major city (IE Darnassus) and see all the magical critters turned into Sheep.. or Turtles here (with a random sheep next to me.) The one I targetted was a Turtle, I had wondered how it got to the top there, then I realized it was really a Seagull.<br />
<br />
..Is it possible to polymorph a Seagull in midflight..?</center>

I've been quite fond of Transmog since it came out - I love spending hours looking for pieces that match and go together perfectly. My favorite Transmog out of all the ones my characters have is my Hunter's. It seems to fit perfectly on a female Orc. So here it is!</center>
<br />
<br />

<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is definitely one of my all time favorite transmogs. It's very tribal, and all the pieces go together quite well. I've gotten a lot of comments on it, but I must say I can't take credit for it. My idea stemmed from a screenshot I found, and I went on a hunt to find the items to put it together.<br />

I'm in the realm of ~11000 achievement points, and I've only recently become obsessed with getting them. Every time I see a new achievement flash on my screen, it brings me great joy. I don't have a lot of time on my hands anymore, what with college starting up and everything. When I do have free time, I'm either leveling, or achievement hunting!<br />
I hope to get some of these long awaited and dragged out achievements finished at least before the end of the year comes along.. I started up a few of these back in Wrath, and never got around to finishing them. (I blame my <a href="http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/area-52/Marktotems/advanced">boyfriend</a> for my lack of an ICC 25 mount.)<br />
<br />
Anyways.. I am currently (somewhat) focusing on my Battlemaster title. It's going to take a lot of effort to finish this one, but I will get it.. Maybe! I have not finished any of them in their entirety, but instead of looking at them all at once.. I will set goals to finish one or two of them in a few months. Here goes..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As of this post, I'm 27 wins away from this one! This will prove to be the easiest, I'm sure.</div>

I love the idea of this battleground, but I can't ever seem to get many wins out of it. Hopefully I can finish this one off faster than I think I will.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All those honorable kills, and still no Battlemaster.. I will trek on and accomplish this one, I swear it! Hopefully by the end of the year, or next.. Or the next..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, I've been slacking on achievements lately. I've been leveling a new Druid on Kel'thuzad Alliance side, and I've been having a blast. Last time I leveled a character with no heirlooms was on Stormrage a year or so ago. Got a Warlock to 85. Then deleted it, but that's beside the point. I find it refreshing to start over with no money, no heirlooms, no support. It's proven to be a breath of fresh air for me after months of continuously raiding Dragon Soul on my Priest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll probably end up finishing off all my loose ended raid achievements before I finish off my Battlemaster, but this one is at the top of my list, the very top. Above number one kind of top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These two achievements I hope to finish by December, at the very latest. Shouldn't be too hard, I hope. Though my boyfriend is also trying to achieve his Battlemaster at the same time, and we both tend to get a little competitive when it comes to ones that require capping flags.</div>

Yay! So, I'm new to this whole blogging thing.. I've thought about it for years, and now I've decided I'll finally start up a blog of my own. I struggled for a long time just deciding on WHAT to blog about. Here I am, years later, blogging about one of my favorite hobbies: WoW!<br />
<div>
I am an the epitome of an altoholic, I have a rather large army of characters spanned across three or four servers. I have multiples of a few classes, and I have enjoyed every minute of my time spent on this game.</div>
<div>
I love creating a new character, having a different personality and mindset on every one, even though I don't do the whole roleplay thing. I enjoy seeing the world from different points of view, and experiencing ever wonderful thing this game has to offer.</div>
<div>
I've played for a long time; the first time I picked up this game, Burning Crusade was near over. Wrath of the Lich King was on its way in just three short months. Never having played any MMOs before, this was all overwhelming. I leveled a Draenei Hunter on Terrokar, spent months leveling her to 47, exploring the game, and taking my time. </div>
<div>
Soon after, I rerolled my Paladin on Fizzcrank, dubbing her 'Phyra'. I made many friends, and I was in awe, this game was amazing! It took me almost five months to get to level 80, and when I finally got there, I was ecstatic! Even my own mother, who played this game a year longer than me had never reached max level on any character in any of the expansions. It was a feat I was proud of.</div>
<div>
Three years later, I have a vast amount of characters, Horde and Alliance alike, and I enjoy every aspect of the game. I love to PvP, and I love to raid. The game still holds a special place in my heart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Druids are my favorite class; I have leveled three of them to 85, and I have a fourth on its way. My main is a Holy Paladin, but that was mostly due to it being my first and most progressed character; no way could I abandon all those achievement points! Now that MoP is coming, and achievements are account wide, I may just switch to a Resto Druid for my main. I absolutely adore them, and they may (or may not) be a focal point of my blog.</div>
<div>
I love transmogging.. Though that could just be the girly side in me. I love spending hours looking up sets on the internet that match, and using MogIt to fill in the gaps. The characters I play the most have banks filled with a variety of gear, from green items to blue, to tier sets I mix and match into transmog sets.</div>
<div>
Beyond that, I (obviously) love to level. I complain about how much I hate it the whole time I do it, but the feeling I get when I reach another level is a rush for me. I will never tire of it.. That is, until I run out of the 50 character slots on my account.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways, I will wrap up this post in saying I hope to have some readers along the way as I post about my adventures, my transmogs, my hardships, and my achievement hunting!</div>
