Why didn't anyone tell me this?! (WoW)

Portals are back in Dalaran! Not all of them, no, but one to Stormwind/Org? It means all my alts can go home, back to Dalaran! :D And for the non-85s? So many trainers, so close at hand!

Good news on the RP end of things, too. Dandelion got into the guild, woo! And, in addition to them all being good RPers and really nice folks, it's a level 10 guild. +10% XP, hasty hearth, and other good stuff! So nice.

I finally, finally, finally got an alt honored with my own personal guild, so I was able to buy the +100% guild rep tabard for all my alts, Alliance included! So hopefully Dandelion will get high enough to buy the heirlooms and other soon!

I don't know what I was worried about in my last post, I think this guild is going to be a good fit. :) The one and only downside is when my friends log on Hordeside, I have no idea and can't chat and such.

... HEE. Welcome to WRA, the worst server for progression! While I was writing this post, my WoW window got spammed:


DON'T MIND US, WE'RE JUST AN EXPANSION LATE

Also, related to that! My "free" (1-2 copper) glyphs came with a great lesson: I will never, ever get back into that business. They don't sell. They get undercut nonstop. It's so not worth it! I'm this close to just vendoring the darned things.

Anyway, yay weekend! Yay RP! Woo!

I think we figured out why they were up there for 1-2 copper. It was probably someone in the market going "UNDERCUT! UNDERCUT A-FUCKING-GAIN!? I'LL SHOW YOU UNDERCUT!"

Also, is that the realm first for a guild achievement? I'm not sure how guild achievements work for realm firsts. If it's the case it would make sense since most people probably moved on to do newer stuff instead of going back for the guild achievements in the older raids. At least that's what I hope, otherwise wtf WRA!

No no, this was from that day I got a crapton of stuff for 1 or 2 copper. Some of the stuff I sold for hundreds of gold! True some of the stuff I vendored, but all in all it was mostly worth a lot.

I asked around, and apparently no one killed the LK on heroic 25 man before tonight! We're all too busy RPing to do this raid stuff. :P

For kicks I decided to check out one of the websites dedicated to WoW progression and I found out some info!

For currently content, WRA ranking for US servers:

10 Man: 175th (241 total)
25 Man: 238th (241 total)

So yes, too busy RPing clearly.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Wow! The 10 man one is just meh bad, but the 25 man one is impressively bad!

[bricriu.livejournal.com]

Wow, and I thought MG was slow on progression...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE!

...wait, I think I'm doing this wrong.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

This is exactly what I was about to say! Holy crap, I'm glad I didn't stick around on WRA, it's hard enough to find decent people to raid with on MG...

[teaandfailure.livejournal.com]

Sad fact: I had no idea there was a +100% guild rep tabard. I wondered how the hell everyone was passing Lu like she was parked.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I know! I didn't know about these tabards at all until last week! I bought the blue one for all my alts (150 gold x 7) and a week later Thack hit honored and so I had to buy the purple for them all (250 x 7). Alas the blue ones sell back for only 30, so don't make the mistake I did!

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

You didn't know about them until last week because they didn't exist until the patch hit last week. Same with the return of the portals in Shat/Dal. :P

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

.......

*dies* Oh well that explains it! I thought I was way behind the times.

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

You know...you might want to start reading the patch notes when a patch hits. Then you can find these things out. You don't have to follow every iteration with baited breath like I do, but the final edition of them certainly has good info. :)

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I do. I do so little PvE (and no PvP anymore) that most of the time it's all stuff that I'll never be around. Right now they're spamming all that Fire... Firelands was it? stuff. Worse is when it's stuff I might want but won't ever get, like the spiffy new wolf mounts (http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2011/april/hordepvpmounts_small.jpg).

My grand total non-RP WoW doings is: Fishing/cooking dailies, that Thieving Little Pluckers daily, JC daily on one alt. On my non-85s I might gather or archaeology. A couple times a year I might quest. That's it.

Though the patch notes do sometimes apply to those limited things! Like the new cooking/fishing dailies.

So, to conclude this rambling comment, sometimes I do, but mostly it's stuff I don't care about so I don't go out of my way to read them. :)
