Pen, your mind has been transported back in time! ...and to Mars.

LEVELS:

• Nollerskates is up to 30, and has graduated from Darkshore, ready to take on the wide world of Arathi Highlands, Stranglethorn Vale, or Desolace. Hm. I forsee more ganking in Nol's future.
• Lyndall hit 29 this afternoon, with no thanks to some asshole Draenei shaman. He was doing one of those "things are gonna spawn out of nowhere and GETCHA!" right as I got a little too close, the mobs aggro'd me, and he went into wolf mode and ran off. Thanks, buddy. Don't count on getting a heal, rez, or fortitude buff. Ever.

Don't let me fall into nothingness! I won't be happy there!

LEVELS:

• Ol' Nollerskates is up to level 29. Soon he'll be leaving the wide world of Hillsbrad alone, and enter the even wider and scarier world of Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, and Arathi Highlands. Fun times.
• Lyndall is halfway through 27 and I'll probably finish it off tomorrow, whatever.

OTHER:

• It seems while I was off munching on birthday cake yesterday WoL allied with Band of Pirates, my old old old guild. I've checked the roster, and it seems that all the cool people have left BoP a while ago. Not implying that the new BoP is full of dumbasses and goldbegging morons, just saying that all these guys are new to me.

OH MY GOD!! Why are diaper deliverymen trying to kill you?

LEVELS:

• Lyndall is now 27!

OTHER:

• It looks like Ony's been spared for another week. Due to the lack of participation, the Ony run was cancelled. Bummer.

Mr. Garrison, every Christmas you suggest we get rid of all the Mexicans, and every Christmas we tell you, "NO!"

LEVELS:

• Not only did Idachi hit 65 today, she got to 65 by slaying Draenei! Fun times.

OTHER:

Herbs gathered for Ony:

• Mountain Silversage x 20
• Felweed x 40
• Ragveil x 20
• Dreaming Glory x 40

Here's hoping Ath can do some Alchemy magic with them

You know? Sometimes me conscience kinda bothers me... But not this time.

LEVELS:

• Idachi is 78% through level 64 at the time of writing, which means she should definately hit 65 by late tonight/tomorrow afternoon. After that, it's time to gather herbs for our next Ony run!

Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

LEVELS:

• Nol is up to 28, which means he's finally able to conjure Mana Stones!
• Lyndall hit 26 yesterday afternoon!

You're a loser, which means I'm a loser, which means my dad was right!

LEVELS:

• Lyndall is up to level 25, and I must say...Fear Ward is the beez kneez.
• Nol ("Nollerskates") hit 27 yesterday. Due to transferring complications, he'll have to stay on Balnazzar for a while, which I'm ok with. PvP servers build character, I suppose.
• Hanryn is up to 20 and trying to finish up some dinky quests so I can start bringing him into Thousand Needles.
• Zyre is still chuggin' along at level 15. He's not my primary concern, so he doesn't get played much, unless he's fully rested.

OTHER:

• Tonight WoL's headed to Onyxia's Lair. I think it's a guild first. Idachi's been running her epic ram ragged trying to gather enough herbs to help out with the potion-making process. Also, I wish Fel Blossoms weren't soulbound. Needless to say, pictures will be taken. Moving pictures.

For the record, I want you to know: rocks aren't people.

When we last left off...


LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 64! What the hell is Seal of Vengance?!?
• Lyndall, the priest created mostly to help out the WoL homies, is up to level 13!

OTHER:

• Nol is being transferred to the Staghelm server. I tried the whole PvP thing out...it was ok...I just am not too fond of the whole "gonna gank your squishy mage" aspect of it. There are only so many ways I can contain my frustration! I'm sure I'll give the PvP server another try...but not with something so small and fragile.

Will being teleported to our doom be fun and Christmassy?

LEVELS:

• Nol has jumped up two levels in the last few days. Now he's 25! YAY FOR NOL!
• Hanryn also hit 18 yesterday, which...uh...I don't remember what he learned. A new rank of Mind Blast maybe?

OTHER:

• Nol's talent tree has been redone. He's still a little frost mage (short and stout...), but now he's 25% more cooler.

Oh, that was a frost pun. I get it. Tee hee

Everyone has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS!

LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 63 yesterday out with her homeboys in Hellfire Ramparts. She only needed one more talent point to get Blessing of Kings....so she did. Woo! Kings!
• Hanryn hit 17 today, which means I can finally start using those fancy rings Jeff made for me. Thank you Mr. Jeefs!

OTHER:

• Idachi went to the Eye of the Storm battleground for the first time today. I must say, it's quite...interesting. Not as big as AV, but bigger than AB, but still laggy enough to freak out my laptop. Fun.
• I feel stupid for not talking about this already, but:

Yep.

I'm gonna write a personal check, and in the memo line, I am writing "Unfair."

LEVELS:

• Nol hit 23, which...doesn't really mean anything. No new spells...but he got some nice robes to drop. Oh, and his conjure food/water stuff went up.

OTHER:

• Idachi went to Blood Furnace for the first time last night. Didn't get much there, but I walked away with 18 gold, so it's hard to complain.

You used me...for land development! That wasn’t nice!

LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 62 yesterday afternoon, I just forgot to say anything. Oops. Crusader Aura is truly the beez kneez.
• Hanryn went up two levels since the last update, so now he's 16! He finally got his first big heal. They grow up so fast!
• Zyre (remember him?) hit 13 today out in the Blood Elf starting area. I figured I might as well kill two birds with one stone and make him grind/raise Silvermoon rep at the same time.

OTHER:

• Idachi is now a Master Herbalist! She's not too far into it yet (only 309), but she'll soon be able to pick any Outland herb out there.

It's like, 'how much more black could this be?' and the answer is none. None more black.

LEVELS:

• Lil' Hanryn hit 14 today, which means he got all sorts of goodies...mainly Psychic Scream and a fancy new Renew. I can't find any advice as to what's worthwhile in the Holy tree and what's useless, so I'm kinda flying by the seat of my robes with this guy's spec. Most people, when they hear I've rolled a Priest after the 2.0 patch, cringe and tell me there's no point now that Druids and Paladins heal for more. Of course, lots of people I talk to are shadow priests, so I don't value their opinions anyway. I don't listen to the following when it comes to healing: Feral Druids, Shadow Priests, Retribution Paladins, and one of those Shaman trees...I don't remember.

OTHER:

• Hanryn has started tailoring as his second proffession (berbalism is his first). It's nice to make robes that could replace my old 10 Armor level 8 [Robes of Ass] (I don't exactly remember the name of the robes).
• Also, people keep bugging me as to why take herbalism and not alchemy. You see, until you hit about 270 in alchemy, you're going to make more money with herbalism. When you start out, you can make crappy healing potions that sell for 2 silver for a stack of 5, or you can take all that Peacebloom and Silverleaf and sell their stacks for about 20-3o silver on the auction house, and once you start picking up Earthroot, a stack tends to sell for 7o silver to 1 gold sometimes, which is great for such a low level.

I am though if you'd listen! I'm casting Magic Missle!

LEVELS:

• Shendir hit 43 last night! Yay!
• Hanryn hit 13 last night too! Also yay!

OTHER:

• Idachi's new goal: Run Hellfire Ramparts until this drops. Best. Belt. Evar.

Actually, jazz is like the New Coke, it'll be around forever. Heh, heh, heh.

LEVELS:

• After turning in many a quest and listening to the sheer stupidity that is Hellfire Peninsula General Chat for the past few days, Idachi is now level 61! 61's good and all, but I can't wait for 62! Fancy new spells and whatnot!
• Hanryn also hit 12 today! He's a mighty cool little bugger. Already headin' up the holy tree faster than a green snake up a sugarcane! (Or whatever it is that Hermes always says).

I'm not moving again. People here grudgingly accept us. That's rare.

LEVELS:

• Hanryn's had a great start today in the fancy pants Blood Elf world. He's up to level 9 at the time of writing.

OTHER:

• Idachi was invited to WoL's first ever run to Hellfire Ramparts and won the need roll for [Heart Fire Warhammer]. My first blue drop, and it's already better than [The Unstoppable Force]! I am quite surprised that I'd be replacing the tUF so quickly, but that's what the Burning Crusade's all about.

And it may sound easy, but nothing could be harder. It will test your head, and your mind, and your brain too.

Alas, Adren had to go the way of the dodo. It was just getting too inconvenient to play him, what with being on another account and all. His awesomeness will live on in Zyre the Third, AKA Zyre...hunter version! Let's get one thing straight: I can't play a shaman for the life of me. They're cool and all, I just can't level them...but I can level hunters, and I've wanted a Horde hunter for some time now. Anywaaaay...

LEVELS:

• Zyre is a level 10 Troll Hunter with a badass bat pet! He's mighty awesome, but lacking a name...

No way. Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.

LEVELS:

• Shendir hit 42 and learned some things. Things I can't really remember right now. It was kind of one of those 'zone out and grind' situations. I think there was a new rank of Regrowth and Starfire...

If you want to be a non-conformist, you have to look like us, think like us, and listen to the same music we do.

LEVELS:

• None of my characters leveled yesterday, I'd just like to point out that January 6th, 2007 will be known as the Day of a Thousand 60s! Elyssia, Zammi, and Rebelmage all hit 60 only a few hours apart from each other. Many huzzahs.
• Shendir is also halfway through 41. Still haven't bought her respec, though, but Restoration sounds tons o' fun.

OTHER:

• Did I mention I got The Unstoppable Force? Oh, well, it's quite cool. Sure, the DPS isn't too different than the spear, but it sure hits for a lot more.

Once I take care of the humans, I will begin my war against... the bees!

OTHER:

• Idachi was in live Strat from about 10 to 2 in the morning yesterday (er...I mean, this morning). First group consisted of Me, Atherial, Zammi, Foddermike, and Shaped, and we wiped about 4 times. Second group was Me, Atherial, Zammi, Foddermike, and Warholl and we never wiped. Atherial and War got mad at Shaped (tee hee hee!) because she couldn't control aggro to save her life (...literally). Oh well, for putting up with Shaped's bullshit I was rewarded with...[Lightforge Boots]! Yay! They're so clunky, but now I have +40 attack from the set bonus.
