DING 60!

Today, the 23th of December 2009, at 04:54 a.m I officially dinged my 59th level! :-D
Now I have nearly 400 screenshots! I promise, sometime by next month I will be making a video of the best one's. Maybe I'll even throw in a commentary. I don't know for now.

For all who are reading this. (That includes me and I) Merry Christmas! Must I have good luck raiding BWL the next weeks.

World of War(lock)craft

Hello my readers and all of those who does not read this aswell!

I have been doing well lately. Got okay grades for this autumn/winter term. Overall I am happy.

I have a job that earns me a perfectly fine amount of income, as I've mentioned earlier maybe.

And I have decided to play WoW again for sure! YEss!

Originally I was planning to make a video series similar to xandersham and bananapielord, but since my laptop currently sucks badly, I'd rather not. So I am leveling a warlock, for a change I am leveling a HUMAN warlock. LOMFG! (That's a mix of LoL/Omfg btw)

yeah you can flame me now lol. I got recruited and made a new account, and was supposed to level fast to 60, but I've yet to see that levleling speed. Mainly this is because I and my friend never agreed to which server we'd level on, where we had the best booster etc... (I am sick of Azeroth, so I wanted to skip most of it.)

Now I think we're all set, and I have an okay guild with someone who promised to boost us to level 40, given that she had multiple days to do this. This is perfectly fine for me, as I do not have a ton of time to spend leveling, even though my grades are all set, and there's no more homework. (No vacation just yet... )

What I am hoping though, is that I will reach 60 before January, if possible. If I can manage that, my life will be complete!! lol.

To make up for the fact that I cannot record myself leveling I am taking tons of screenshots, and probably making a screenshot series of my life ingame. I might post screenies ocationally if this is requested or wanted. Currently there's over 100 screenshots of my warlock, and I am level 28!

Currently human warlock, playing on the realm Trollbane PvP (EU)

Name is Miramis so /w me ingame sometime if you are there :-)

Best regards _Arthin*

First few screenies of my really low levels:

Simply the first screenshot :P

In darnassus while waiting for my druid friend to turn in his Bearform quest.

One of the /played screenies I will do more of later on. This is the first of its kind.

Patch 3.3.0 Is live!

As of today, I was just messing around. (I am supposed to study at the moment though.)

And downloaded the patch for testing, played with my trial account made for testing how my craptop ran the game.

And I was very surprised, the new quest system was nice, although not showing THE efficient leveling way, it sorted out what you had to do, and where. Did level twice on my lowbie, didn't get to test the dungeon system though.

I whispered my friend a couple of times too, he was excited about the new instances aswell as many others. He obviously enjoyed the instances, because if he didn't he would reply more often :-P

Now it's a matter of time before I can officially obtain my computer and race to level 80 with the speed of light! Maybe not. In either case, I will be working as much as possible this christmas. And that's both "-.-" and ":-D" because... I willearnalotofmoneyandgetrich... and... Iwillhavelittlesparetimewithfamilyandcrap yeah.

So that's it :-) Stay tuned. Hopefully an update next week!

EDIT: screenies!

Template and boredom

Sooo lately there's not been much new stuff.. not in my life atleast.

I'm as usual very bored and I've merely been playing any games at all, which would be good in theory, because I could spend more time doing school stuff.

Well... that's not gonna happen.

Today I'm just doing standard stuff... a little focus on school, the rest is put into random YouTube videos and the usual update on facebook and twitter.

Only thing new in my life is that I've decided (after endless hours of search) that I will be following bananapielord's "Let's play World of Warcraft" series, where he levels a draenei male shaman from 1-80. That's atleast what he said. Whether he makes it or not does not concern me, I will be watching this extremely entertaining guy from beginning to end!

And if you want to follow him too, I'll give ya a link at the bottom of the post! :-)

So I think I still want to get back into wow at some point. And something good is; I might get a job, 3 days a week, and about 17,50 USD per hour in the weekend. That is something that'll hopefully earn me some money, and money makes the world go 'round!

Not really... or it might be true. But what I was supposed to say was: "Money - New computer - WoW"

And I think that is awesome. If you don't you don't belong here! :-O

Now I'll be going to the gym to work out before I'll spend the rest of the evening doing nothing! I am one exciting person...

Anyways here's todays bonus!

Link for awesome video series: http://www.youtube.com/user/Bananapielord

And a screenshot of my lvl 5 Arisen Savant - you might aswell call this an undead warlock, but whatever.

*Burp*

As topic states... this a burp lol.

As of lately my life is bad, it's full of nothing, which I could, if I chose to, fill with school and productive work or whatever. But as you've already guessed... no, I'm not doing that. This whole blog thing now seems a little less "warlocky" than I intended to really do... as I did not intend to post anything till I eventually had my new computer in my apartment. (Typo?)

Anyways, now I realize my life is bad and nothing ever happens I think I might aswell sleep, but it's only, I am saying it again, ONLY 1:35 a.m... That's bad for me lol. I usually do 2.00 a.m when I go to bed "early."

So yeah, what should I dooo?!! I have a crappy computer, a crappy tv which wont show me any tv channels at all, and I have about 7 or 8 ps3 games that I'm sick of. I want to have something to stick to, something to put work into that'll eventually give something back to me...

Yeah, it seems like I'm saying I want a job or whatever, and I guess if I do a good job tomorrow I will have a job in January... By the time of February 18th eventually I'll have over 2 thousand $, which'll be the price for my new computer if I'm correct.

So... my question to those non-existing people reading this post is: What the heck do you do when you're bored to hell and don't want to go to sleep? :P

_Arthin*

What do you see when you're ganking me?

Hello everyone! Just wanted to make a quick update before I probably go play some warcraft 3 or eventually go to sleep.

I've lately been watching alot of wow machinimas on youtube. I must say some are really enjoyable! But especially the longer stories with a good humor and a bunch of the songs are really fascinating!

I must mention "Outlaws of Azeroth" and who hasn't watched "Illegal Danish"?!

The song "Forever a nub" especially makes me want to level a new character in wow :((
Damn, I'm still in need of money :/ I've heard rumours about that a job I might get in January though, I'll tell for sure whenever that happens, if at all. I gotta save up for my new computer and start leveling fast as hell if I ever hope to ding 80 before cataclysm.

Well anyway... Enjoy and have fun people!

A long night

Hi everybody!

I know it's not been a long time since I updated, but I wanted to do this before I completely fell asleep. The time is now 04.46 a.m for your information.

Tonight I've mostly been playing allods online, AND warcraft 3 lol!

Me, and my friend ezze played alot toghether in the past, and we decided to go for it again for tonight. It's been an endless number of different custom games. Among them were - Hero Line Wars Lition, X Hero siege and Angel Arena.

Recently we played a few failures, just me and him in hero siege, but the last try, we finally made it! haha!

Just wanted to post some screenshots I guess... So here's one! Enjoy^^

Free 2 Play MMO's and other random stuff

Hi there everybody. Wanted to update my blog although this isn't officially a warlock specific or a wow post.

For the past few months I've been bored to pieces and I've registering, downloading and playing alot of free to play mmo's. Most of them was really bad, and it's fully understandable. But I actually found a few games that it might be worth taking a closer look at, if you're the free to play type of gamer.

Runes of Magic

Yeah I know, it's "old" (isn't it 2008?) news, and the game has recieved pretty crappy feedback or whatever, but even though I played it for only a few hours it was great! The leveling system and character progression were very well developed, and the graphics were not half bad at all. Overall a very fun game, but I've been hearing it has a imbalance issue at max lvl in PvP, or so it seems. Another downside is bad PvP (so far?) and they could've spent more time balancing classes and taking one more time to look through the current content before releasing an expansion, if you want to call it that when it's a free to play.

I will rate this game, or atleast try to, based on the impressions I've had.

Graphics - 6.5/10

Character dept - 7/10

Gameplay in general (includes quests, landscape etc) - 6.5/10

So all in all I'd give it a 6.67/10 which will result in ~ 6.7/10

Sidenote here is: My current craptop sucks, as some of you might know, or might not, it kinda forced me to play on low settings, which reduced my view, as well as want to continue playing.

Second game I will mention is

Allods Online!

I've been reading and watching youtube videos on this for some time, and I was so excited about it! It looked so awesome, although the russian part does kind of bother me lol.

It is still in it's closed beta, and I was lucky (I think) and got a key maybe 3 days after release of Closed Beta. (CBT for short)

I played today after I had handed in my Nature subject report. (Stupid teacher giving homework and foricing us to do it friday night...) And the game was fascinating. I think the intro was interesting, and it does include the character into the lore pretty early, but it does not give too much information, as far as I know, which is good.

I created a Risen (Zem or undead is more words for the race) Savant! The risen savant is part of the archetype Summoner. Archetypes are somewhat classes, but they are not called that in this game.

I'll try to explain. There are eight (8) archetypes. Each archetype has unique skills and abilities. Every archetype has atleast 3 classes under them, sort of subclasses. How does this work? Well, each class is unique to a certain race, so for example; if you want to be a Warrior archetype and you want to be an Orc, your class would be called "Brute." That's the orc version of the warrior. Do you get me? :P

The main difference between the classes within the same archetype is that each race has it's own skill for that class. Example the Undead Summoner (called Savant) have a skill which heals all minions active, whil the Xadarian (or whatever the race is called) Summoner (known as defiler) has a skill that increases strenght for all minions.

Anyway, I like summoning so I made the undead (or Risen) version of the summoner class. I played it through the tutorial, got level 4, and finished up some quests in the second area you appear in. (somekind of sewers)

Anyway, it was fun, but annoying that I delivered all level 4 quests and was 1000 exp from level 5...

I'm not gonna rate this game, but it seems interesting, although it's in CBT still. Only thing I would "complain" about would be the exp rate.. It's really slow from 5 to 6, and I can't imagine what it will be like 10+. I say one word: NIGHTMAREZ!

And the level limit is going to be 40 at release?! Damn what a long leveling process it would be if they don't improve exp rates!

Well, that's for now, I am dead tired (it's 01:53 a.m here btw) so I think I'll just grap a donald pocket or something and read till I fall asleep :)

The beginning of a new era...?

This is officially my first blog entry... I would wait before publishing, but I did this anyway...

This will basically be writings of my World of Warcraft experiences, so if gaming is not your interests, you can simply press backspace or the red cross you eventually have in your upper right corner.

I am per now thinking of opening my world of warcraft account again, so before I did this I wanted to hear your opinion :-)

I am thinking of making either an undead or a blood elf warlock.

For looks, which one would you choose, and why?

For racials, which one would you choose, and why?

I just can't decide for now..

And one last thing... Does either one of you have a suggestion for server? (I am in EU, and I prefer english, and will most likely go for a PvP server)

So suggest me a server (the one you are on?!) and tell me what you think of it :-)

Keep in mind

-Warlock population ratio (Many or few warlocks in high/max lvl?)

-Economy (well developed or ruined in your opinion?) would most probably be ok if server is a few years old?

-Players (Friendly? Lots of non-english in general chat?)

I think that's it! And thanks for tuning in!
