December 2008 Archives

It's lovely to be able to post one of these.

It's not really a Christmas story, persay ... it could have happened at any time.  But it happened on Christmas Eve, so I'm claiming it as one, goshdarnit!

I was out questing in Scalawag Point on my druid (newly respecced to boomkin, which is a lot of fun - going back resto once I hit 80) in Howling Fjord when I saw a yellow dot on my radar.  Ore!  Getitgetitgetit!  I raced around the hill and up, to get the precioussssss.

There I saw an orc death knight fighting a trio of bears.  I jumped into boomkin and helped him finish them off, then we did the good ol' emote communication.  He took some whacks at the ore, then I did.  Nice and sharing and I rode off with a smile.  I hate when people ninja nodes off me, so I try not to do it to others (occasionally I just don't see them, but I make an effort not to do it on purpose).

Doesn't end there!

A few minutes later, I get a whisper from a very flatteringly-named lowbie and we have a short conversaton.



That was so nice :D

I've not put his (or her) name in here in case they don't wish to be named, but I'll be pointing them in this direction.

Thank you again!  It was a really nice gesture to go to the trouble of making a toon, and it was good to share the ore.

So that's my cheery story for the day.  Happy holidays everyone!

I got to got to Naxxaramas 10 for the first time on Saturday, and despite being up until an ungodly time of the morning, I had fun!  I did Archavon 25 the other day in a PUG, and that's all the Wrath raiding I've done so far.

I got some nice new gloves from Naxx.  I like the place, nice trash:boss ratio (that is, not much trash!).  The gargoyles that heal themselves if you don't burn them down quickly are irritating (especially at 3am) but on the whole it's a fun place.  I'm looking forward to doing more there.

Here's some screenies.  I did miss getting screenies when we killed Grand Widow and Noth the Plaguebringer, unfortunately.

I managed to catch the moment on screenshot.  I dinged as a ghoul, which I find quite hilarious.  I enjoyed the whole questline.  I managed to get my level, the Drakuru achievement and the Ultimate Triage achievement all in the space of an hour.
