Playing, Not Posting

Although not all that much, really. I'm trudging through the endgame, and I'm really astonished at just how much content there is in BC - I'm at 68, and am only maybe halfway through the third zone of six. I've finished with Zangarmarsh and the SP/UB instances for the moment, and have gotten through some of the Terokkar Forest content, although I haven't touched Auchindoun yet.

Every so often I get bored and go back to Azeroth to clean up some quests - I'm working on some of the Blasted Lands stuff at the moment - but I'm holding off on all the Argent Dawn grinding I had planned because the next major patch doubles the rep gain rate. Which is GOOD NEWS, believe me, because I'm a completist, not a masochist.

I'm slowly checking off gear upgrades, and I'm in about half blues at this point, which isn't too bad. The gear comes slowly compared to the pace of the content, though. I suppose if I cared more I'd be grinding more instances and fewer quests, but I want to wait until 70 to at least have a shot at the really good stuff - why spend three days in Underbog to get a pair of pants that will be replaced in two levels?

Overall, still having fun, although real life has been intruding. It is summer, after all.

Busy Busy

Been playing quite a bit in hotel rooms, lately - traveling a lot. Consequently, I haven't gotten much of substance done.

- Hit 66
- Finished most of my BRD quests - just need to do the Windsor escort quest
- Finished (solo) one Scholo quest
- Hit honored with Sporeggar, friendly with Kurenai, and and very close to honored with CE
- Am about 2500 rep from being Exalted with all Alliance factions

Most of the above is pretty much just vaccumming the cat, but it is kinda fun to do level 20 quests and one- and two-shot everything. I play these days so I don't have to think about anything.
