Here it is over a month since my last post. Whatever happened to my schedule? Well, I've had a few real life issues creep up and between leveling my rogue and busy work schedule, I haven't had much time to get online to do a post.
As it stands now, I'll just give a quick update.
Odlaw - Undead Rogue - Currently standing at 77 with his first title *the Noble*
Kaldalon - Orc Hunter - Started him and worked him up to level 10
Zazue - Blood Elf Mage - Currently level 10, played with Noblegarden a bit to get Tome of Polymorph: Rabbit
I've also got my Death Knight, Paladin, and Shaman sitting waiting for me to come back. I started a Druid and Warlock as well, but they are only as far as the first starting area.
Anyway, I'm slowly working on my characters. Hopefully the next time I post something I'll be able to say that I have another character to 80. Until next time...

Ahead of the Plan
Another Tuesday is here, and I'm progressing steadily toward level 80 for my rogue, Odlaw. As of late last night, I'm sitting in Tanaris at 45, about 25% more to go before dinging 46. Yesterday was a busy day of leveling where i was able to jump 3, almost 4, levels. I keep edging closer and closer to the final goal.
When I started back a few weeks ago, I had rough sketch as to method to reach the lofty level 80. It was my intention to level about 10 levels a week, which for the first 60 levels, in my opinion, is a plausible goal. So far I've kept up with my goal, and in truth stayed ahead by a few levels. Today was my goal to be level 40, so as you see, I've made it and surpassed it. I realize I would need to adjust my leveling goals a bit beyond 60, possibly to 5 levels per week.
Outland does level faster particularly with flying mounts being available at 60 instead of 70 when the Burning Crusade was originally released. However, I've only previously leveled in Northrend once, and that was with an alliance toon. Now that I'm back home on the horde side, I don't know the horde quests or lore in terms of Northrend, so I'll be taking it slower than I've been. Though once, I get to 80, my hard work and perseverance will be well paid for. I'll be able to work on all the projects that I had originally planned when I was still on Blade's Edge (US). Until next...

Implementing A Schedule
It has been a little more than a week since I last popped on here. I need to focus a bit if I plan to use this blog more effectively. I'm planning on instituting a schedule for me to (try to) keep. At least if I have a imposed schedule, then my updates should be more regular. There won't be no need to a length discussion or tirade on my part, just something to say or an update to my toons. With all this being said, I plan to use Tuesday as my weekly toon update since most Tuesdays are downtime for WoW anyway. If I decide to add to the schedule with other days dedicated to other aspects of life, wow, or whatever, then I let everyone know.
I don't have much more to say at the moment except that so far Odlaw, my rogue, has gotten to level 36 as of late yesterday evening. 4 more levels then I'll be able to upgrade my mount so travel will be even that much faster. So until next time, keep grinding away.

I'm Back!
Well, it has been about a week since I restarted my account. I'm currently leveling an undead rogue, named Odlaw, that I had first started briefly before my hiatus. When I left the game, he was at level 6, but over the last week I've managed to get him to level 20 as of last night.
My current plans are to pick up my mount outside of Brill, then head outside of Ratchet to level up my lockpicking which I haven't touch as of yet. I have used the dungeon finder twice since getting to level 15 and used the time to get a feel for grouping as a rogue. That and to pick up a few upgrades on my weapons and armor. As the weeks go by, I'll be using the dungeon finder to offset the standard questing. Throw a few runs through battlegrounds toward the end of the brackets and I should be set for my rogue.
About once a week as I level, I'll pop in with updates on his level and what Odlaw is up to for that given week. In between all this, I plan to comment on current news in the World of Warcraft, give info on mods that I use, have tried, or realy hate, and I will give comments on what pops into my noodle. As of right, I merely wait until the servers are back up. Until next time...

Waiting for the Dust to Settle
My laptop was returned to me today with all the bugs (potentially) gone. At the moment, I've been a little afraid to start it up only to see the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death". Nothing can make your stomach drop down harder than trying to open a file, then all of a sudden...BLUE! Only time will tell if the problems have truly been eliminated.
What does it mean if these problems are gone? Simple, the hiatus will end. I think I've spent enough time way to get "fresh air" that I should be able to delve back down into the world of Azeroth. And it isn't like I was getting anything down with my time off. I thought I'd use the time to play some other game titles that have started to gather dust, but the most I've done was replay GTA 4 and I still haven't finished it this second time through.
The current plan of action for my return is still not fully decided. I do know that I'll be moving servers...again. I will return to my roots and be true to myself. I will return to The Horde! All my friends that originally were on Blade's Edge (US) on the Alliance have made the move while I was gone. Some started new toons, most though paid to have their alliance characters transferred. The choice to transfer or start from scratch is rather simple for me. For financial reasons, I'll have to start from the beginning...once again. LOL!
It does kind of depress me in a way, because it will awhile to level to 80 again. I realize that I could just start a Death Knight and be that much closer to 80, but if I'm planning to play a toon from start to finish, I want one that I can call my main. I've got time to think about what toon combination that I'll choose before I restart my account. I do have a few ideas as to what I'd like to do such as:
Undead Rogue (I loved my alliance rogue. Stealth, Poison, Pick Pocket. What is there not to love?)
Undead Warlock (My first toon years ago was a warlock, even though underplayed now, still a fun solo class.)
Tauren Druid (A little bit of everything: healer, tank, melee dps, ranged dps.)
Of course, there are many other combinations that jump out at me that I'd want to try. Who is to say that I won't try these and more? I am the alt-a-maniac, am I not? I'll probably start playing a little bit of each classes like I always do. But this time I want to try to at least stick to one toon most of the time. Trying, though, being the most important part. Only time will tell.

I'm Back, My Story
I'm still here, more or less. I'm online check my usual sites, but currently on hiatus from the wonder game, WoW. Why, some may ask? Well, there are many reasons for my departure. Might as well start from the beginning, which was about a week after my last post.
I was starting to work on getting emblems for my lvl 80 hunter when I noticed that a few of my friends had left the guild we were in. Now keep in mind I knew that one of my friends was on another server leveling a horde druid, but his brother and the others were firmly set in staying on the server we were on. While investing the departure of my comrades, I was soon to discover that they were not only switching servers, but switch sides. They each were transferring at least one of their characters to the horde side on this other server where my one friend had leveled his druid to 80. Here I was alone on the server. I had a choice follow my friends or stick it out and continue with the guild that I was in. Well, I stuck it out more or less. I did start a character on this other server and played a little bit, but since not everyone had jumped ship yet, I continued to play on with my hunter.
The tranfers of my friends weren't the only things that occured around this time. I started to have some computer problems that would cause my system to crash whenever I'd tried anything graphically intensive. I'd get on WoW and five minutes into the game, my system would shut down on me. This started my headache.
What continued the headache would be the burnout that I was starting to feel when I did get some time to play. I had been played for 6 months straight trying to level both my rogue and my hunter. I was needing some time off, try playing other games, something.
However, I wouldn't get the chance to try anything new. My grandfather, Opa, died the day after Thanksgiving. The family left to head three states over to attend the funeral and get some of the family affairs in order. A week away from everything helped clear my head enough to know that I needed the break and that I'd came back to WoW, just not yet.
So, here I am still trying to get my computer back to operating efficiently so I can start playing WoW again, though this time on the horde side. Which as a side notice, I've always preferred since I first started playing horde several years ago. The only question is when that will be. Sadly, it looks like the current computer that I use to play is out of commission until its problems get resolved (blue screen of death problem and the system shut down one as well). I might have to look into getting an new laptop and if I do, it may be awhile. Don't know much as of yet.
So, as I have stated, I'm here to an extent. I'll be popping back on time to time to update my status, give ideas of my plans, etc. Until next time...
