thistlechaserHalloween arrived on WoW, and it seems to have crashed the servers. :P Mine was down for an hour or so tonight, which wasn't as annoying as it would have been on FFXI. See, I've always heard stories about Blizzard giving out free XP when the servers are down, but I guess this wasn't enough downtime to qualify for that. Or perhaps the free XP thing is a rumor, but I doubt that (it seems like a WoW-ish thing to do).
One of the costumes I got actually made me look cute! Gnome pirate, ahoy! And it was really funny being that short. (That's also the last screenshot Fluffy will ever make it into. RIP Fluffy.) My prairie dog is next to me -- when I'm gnome-sized he makes a more fitting pet!
My second costume actually succeeded in making me uglier, which I wouldn't have thought possible. Look! I'm a cross-dressing bull-man! Think I could pass as a female troll? (NO NO NO NO.)
The second screenshot also features my new pet: Pitch the white wolf! Oddly he looks more grey than white in the daylight, it's only at night or in the dark that he seems to be all glowy-white.
I leveled him from 19 -> 21 tonight, but I fell just barely short of hitting 23 myself.
A question for all you WoW people! What the heck is up with Elite mobs being so much higher than their stated level? And is there some rule that applies across the board? Like "Add five to the stated level of any elite"? I encountered a level 25 one tonight, but I didn't dare try it because I knew it would be much higher than that.
Related to that: I went into an instanced dungeon tonight, and ha ha ha, found my plans to be a total waste. The highest level mob in there was 20-21, and I'm 22, so I figured I'd tear through the place... but every single thing I found in there was elite. How annoying! Are all of those dungeons like that? I actually died in there tonight, and I've not died in days. Bah.
I suppose I should get a WoW icon, if I'm going to keep posting about it...
