Doomhammer is stuck at retrieving character data. I can get into Perenolde and took a look at the barber. Gnome males have horrid choices. It makes me kind of mad actually how bad they are.

I'm still downloading. I'm at 33% I guess since they reset the talents and are preparing for Lich King now I probably have no reason to do Kara anymore. I'll just focus on getting Lilithen as close to 70 as possible until that time. Once Lich king coems out though it will be my first time playing this game that i will have a high level character ready for a new expansion right on release. So hopefully I can get 80 at a reasonable rate and start endgame raids at the same time my guild is. I don't want to miss out on it this time.

I LOVE the new login screen! *swoon* I just finished redoing Raylu's talents. Some are new and some are gone completly. I wasn't sure what would be good and what wouldn't be and I know I'll probably be spending some gold in the future to fix somet things. Atleast tehy got rid of the Wand Specialization talent in Discipline. I'd get so mad when I see Priests with points in that talent. What a waste. And the achievement thing is awesome! Complete ripoff of Xbox Live but I am an Achievement whore. What sucsk is that it recognises some of the things I have done and I have auotmatic ahievements. Like for killing VanCleef but some weren't brought over from previous time. Like killing Prince Malchazar in Karazhan or killing whatever that bosse's name in the Blood Furnace was. These are things I did do but they aren't showing up. XD EDIT>> Forgive the bad spelling in this post. I'm tired and too lazy to fix it. And I just noticed that they changed the map of Stormwind to include a Harbour in the north. The way to travel to Northrend I guess. I checked out the maps for Horde cities and they have nothing new so I don't know how they will get there.

Damn, she looks great. A lot more like what she looked like in Warcraft 3 as well. I'm surprised they didn't make that change when Burning Crusade came out.

Curse.com and titanpanel.org have most of the updated addons (auctioneer and atlas don't play nice with each other at the moment however). They're still having issues with logging in and such so don't panic if you login and don't see your characters even though it says it loaded them. Usually a reload will fix it. Also, you haven't seen addicted til you read this <.< videogames.yahoo.com/feature/gamer-juggles-over-30-warcraft-characters/1255554

I think "addicted" is too mild of a word for that. That's just insane... dunno how he can do that!

You know there was one Saturday where I literally spent all day playing. From the moment I woke up till the moment I shut her down and went to bed. I thought that at the time was a bit extreme, even for me, but THIS? Christ, the dude is retarded. I honestly don't see the point of that.
And he says it costs him $5711 a year for all those accounts. Now is that just for all 36 subscriptions or also the payments he has to make to his electrical company for that energy guzzling room? Further more, with that many computers hooked up so close I'm sure a lot of them have to be sharing outlets. Even with a power bar thats a fire waiting to happen.

Last night Lilithen got her very first instance party in Zul Farrak. And I had so much fun. Its my first time partying and not playing a healer. Our tank was a Arms Warrior and wasn't meant for tanking but with all the DPS we had it didn't matter cause bitches were dying left and right. Thanks to all the exp within the instance and plus the quests you complete within I got level 48 and I'm halfway to 49. Anyone playing a Warlock will be happy to know that you no longer have to spend money on Pet abilities. I was looking around for the Demon trainer so I eventually asked in Trade Chat where they had gone and people told me pets learn new abilities as soon as they level. I guess it would have helped if I had read ALL the update notes and not just the ones for Priest. In any case, this will save us money. And time. I hate having to swap one demon out for another to teach it a new ability. I also checked out Inscription. I can't craft the Inscriptions but I used them. Its pretty neat. The way I understand it is you can have insriptions that modify certain spells/abilities. By making them more powerful, or by cutting down the cast time or the cast cost. I'm not sure if there are any other things they can do but its still early so I'm sure there are way more things this can do. I think I will make my Death Knight an Inscriptor.

OK....any Warlocks here noticed your demons are invincible now? Or do I have some kinda talent that I'm not seeing? Every time my demons take damage...they're healed. My voidwalker and Felguard cannot die because of this. Now, not that I'm complaining mind you, but...this can't be right. >.>
I'm doing the Hallow's End event and it's very similar to the summer event that I can never remember the name of, but it doesn't give nearly as much exp and the headless horseman's fire quests are so damn tedious...in the amount of time it takes you to complete it, you could've done two or more trick or treat quests for *more* exp. But gee golly wow you get 10 achievement points! My e-wang just got bigger I guess.

Yeah I noticed the Warlock thing with my Voidwalker. It has to be a glitch that needs fixing cause this job was way overpowered as it was already.
I did the water tossing thing too and I didn't like it. I tried for the Headless Horsemen quest and I thought I could solo it. The guy is a level 70 elite so I got my ass handed to me. I'll try for a group before its all over with.
I have my copy of Lich King preordered at GameStop. Just gotta wait a month.
EDIT>> Christ, Doomhammer has become a laggy bitch latly.

I can't say I'm too interested in the WoW achievements. I thought they might be awesome considering it works so well for the 360 but these are just a little too simplistic I think. I like the 360 ones cause they actually try to challange a player as opposed to rewarding you for things you're going to do anyways. You get a certain amount of points for every ten character levels, getting a tabard, completing instances but nothing that really has you going out of your way to challange yourself with. I think a great example of good achievement points would be on the classic TMNT arcade game for Xbox Live Arcade. You get points for beating Shredder without allowing yourself to be turned into a baby turtle, you get points for beating Krang without losing any more than 10 health bars and you get points for beating a certain level within a time limit. That is a great achievement system cause it has players trying new things. But the WoW system just rewards people for very basic things. So in short, I'll just ignore that part of the update.
