WoW Thursday Update

2 Replies

There isn’t a whole lot to say about the World of Warcraft today, except for you either have the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, or you don’t. That’s the big thing for this week, and probably the upcoming weeks, as now you can start a whole new class with the Death Knight. I’m not really sure what a Death Knight is, and that answer would probably be revealed to me if I spend more time playing the class.

The problem is Death Knights report to Arthas, who is basically the supreme evil guy in the World of Warcraft. The Death Knights are all swearing allegiance to him, and they start at level 55, and they apparently are in this to kill everyone. I don’t think it’s an Alliance vs. Horde thing so much as Blizzard not wanting to take the time to make a legitimate third team. From everything I’m seeing it should be Arthas vs. Alliance vs. Horde. It is sort of a shame they didn’t go that way.

Who has the expansion already? I know Tim and my brother waited in line for the midnight release. Dan had it shipped to him, and I only know this because he was making regular updates on Twitter concerning where the shipment was.

The reason I’ve never mentioned Dan before is simply that he doesn’t play on the same server as any of my characters. He plays Alliance, which I don’t play at all, and if I’m not mistaken he plays on a PvE server. While I’ve often considered moving to such a server to get away from the whole hours of getting ganked fun, I have yet to actually commit to that. I have more of a chance running in to him at a Jonathan Coulton concert in Cleveland.

Jo said he would be picking it up today. He had it preordered and paid off, but weighed standing in line at midnight to be far more trouble than waiting till the next day. I had to run to Wal-Mart at 5 AM in order for a certain member of the US Armed Forces to have the game last night.

Renee, Rick, and Melissa might not have picked it up, but then again they don’t have any real immediate use for it. I could include Jo into this demographic as well, but he can at least see the finish line now. None of them are necessarily close to being 70 to take advantage of the new content in that respect. They could start Death Knights, but they still have the aforementioned characters to take from whatever level they are to 70.

Expansions cause so much activity!

Snow

Seems as though it were just yesterday that I was talking about the leaves changing color the all the wonderful things about Fall and here we are with snow. It’s not sticking to the ground, but that’s not far away. I still haven’t found a pair of gloves for the season as the gloves that I usually buy are no where to be found. I still have to make sure the kids have enough gloves and hats for the season as well, even though they probably won’t wear them.

I can’t even get them to wear shoes outside when it’s 50 degrees outside.

I remember when Will said “it’s Wal-Mart”, and that has really become a fitting motto for a place that just stops carrying gloves that I’ve bought there for years.

I still have to buy a shovel, because I had a really hard time shoveling the driveway last year when the snow piled up. The cheap shovel in the shed just isn’t going to cut it this year.

I should make sure I have an ice scrapper in my trunk. You should to.

I have this plastic stuff to put over some windows and one door so that the heat doesn’t escape as readily as it normally would.

Really though I’m just glad that we are almost half way through November before I’m talking about snow. There have been years where I would have been having this discussion in the middle of October.
