World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft has nine classes to choose from when creating your character, Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Shaman, Druid, and Monk.  But there is a secret tenth class, in, the Banker.  Each player has a limited amount of space to store items in.  Each item takes up one bag slot, though some stack up to a certain level (often 20).  Gear is always one item per slot.  There are several options for storage available with varying uses. On your person, you can carry 5 bags, one being the core 16 slot “backpack”, the other being varying sizes depending…

Lately, in between working on stuff with my main, I’ve been running a few Alts with different purposes in World of Warcraft.  Firstly, I made a fully decked out Twink(ish) Troll Monk nammed Raman.  It’s kind of a play on Ramen and the Jamacan vocal patterns of the Trolls.  I d previous runs onquite a bit of Justice and Valor from my previous runs on Seige of Orgimmar and so I loaded up my new Monk with appropriate heirloom gear. Heirlooms are are a special kind of gear designed for alts.  They provide high stats and they “level up” along…

So I’m done. Done with World of Warcraft. Maybe I’ll come back, probably, but for the moment, I’m just done.  It’s just not fun anymore, that’s all there is to it.  I enjoyed it immensely but I just can’t find myself enjoying it.  I log on and it’s just a chore.  I guess I just don’t enjoy “grinding”.  I was having a ton of fun when i was running around the world doing quests and getting some story, but then I made it to Level 90, and I did some things in Pandaria, and then it got dull, and now…

So, Death Knights. Death Knights are a little odd in how they work.  Unlike every other class, you cannot create a Death Knight until level 55.  I’m not real sure why this is exactly, I guess it makes slightly more sense for a harbinger of doom to be an experienced powerful warrior, not some crummy level 1 nobody.  Also, according to the plot, Death Knights seem to be fallen or corrupted warriors, so maybe the idea is, you would “recreate” your character as a Death Knight.  As a Death Knight, you work for the Lich King Arthas.  This pleases me…

I’ve been playing through dungeons, which are grouped matches with 4 other players where you fight tougher than normal enemies.  These groups generally consist of a Tank, who absorbs damage and attracts the enemies, a Healer, who keeps the tank (and the group) alive.  And three DPS or Damage Per Second people, who have the job of dealing out as much damage as they can, as quickly as possible.  I am DPS, which is the most common type, since it’s easiest to play.  I like to think that I’m actually pretty awesome at DPS though since Fury Warrior ie Berserker…
