I told you I was going to be posting about World of Warcraft

So here’s the deal.  I started playing WoW again about 6 weeks ago after a year long absence from the game.   My main reason (aside from the fact that I actually enjoy the game) is that the game is going to change completely with the release of the Cataclysm expansion in November, and I wanted to level one more character in the old world before all the changes. 

Anyway I have been playing this new character for about 3 weeks and I have gone in a totally different direction this time.  Usually I follow a leveling guide and try and get my character leveled as fast as possible.  In addition I skip the things like cooking and fishing and usually play DPS or tank classes.  This time I am concentrating more on things like faction reputation, achievements, and secondary skills.  It is actually a little more work but it is also a little more fun and interesting.  You miss a lot of stuff when you just powerlevel.  I am also playing a mage this time  which I have never done before.  It’s a lot harder than a hack and slash class.

So that’s where I am at with this.  I am just going to post updates – like I made level 42 in Stranglethorn Vale (my favorite zone) today and thoughts on the game as I go along.  There are already a ton of WoW blogs and podcasts out there, and I am not going to be trying to compete with them as far as posting quest maps etc.  Just stuff I find interesting.  One example would be the change to class talents that got posted today.  Personally I think this is a great change.  I hate piddling around trying to decide how to spend talent points, I wish they would come up with something similar for professions.
