Ari told me that I wasn't able to receive comments, and I couldn't figure out what in the CSS code that was wrong, so I simply decided to yoink a new template. Where I got it is listed in the footer.
Player versus Player
Or PvP
I transferred my level 73 Hunter to Defias Brotherhood, to experience RP and "meet" my fellow blogger: Ari
Ever since I started with World of Warcraft, i've been interested in PvP. All kinds. Before I moved my Hunter away, I really didn't PvP that much, and I had no idea why. Well to be completely honest I do, because my Paladin is in the battlegroup called Blackout, I am horde and my favorite BG is Alterac Valley. That means I never won.
No I am not fishing for a battlegroup with 100% win. The one I am in now on my hunter is amazing so far. We had some good fights for Isle of Conquest and the win ratio was around 50%. In the preparation we discussed new tactics, and communicated well. So my Hunter that have been stuck in level 73 for 2 months, is now level 77, because I've been PvP'ing in AV and IoC like crazy.
Cannot wait till I hit 80 :D
First impressions of DB
There are roleplay, and there are also OOC (Out of character) stuff, so there are something for all, overall a really nice server. In the dungeon finder, there are A LOT of noobs. A unusual amount :S
My loot-crazed priestess friend still haven't got her Shriveled Heart after intense Halls of Reflections farming. Let us hope that luck will be with her in future runs! *Crosses fingers*
I see quite a few Kingslayer titles, so I assume there are a lot of raiding going on :o
This post today won't be so long, because I am not in a mood to WHINE right now, so I guess it'll be cut off here.

Burning Blade
The mighty realm, that used to be the home of my paladin. Not anymore. I decided to make him pack his stuff, and move to the vast realm of Doomhammer, to explore and find out what adventures that awaits there.
Okay enough with that ancient talking stuff. I gave up holy, put on some pimping, shiny tanking armor, pressed "I", and tried tanking. I enjoyed it so much that now I am tanking as main spec. I just had my easter holidays and had a blast. My friend was staying at my house for several days and we had a lot of fun playing wow, watching "Watchmen" and talking Final Fantasy 13. He "helped" me farming my shiny new tanking gear, and getting started with different tanking stuff, since his main is a tank. DK though. Not paladin. But..
There is always trouble.. While he still was here, we ran a random heroic with another of my friends as the healer. My tanking skills are not that good yet, and they were a bit worse at that point, so we took it easy through the entire instance. Drak'Tharon Keep. Then right after Drek, some retard, didn't get to see who it was, decided to ninjapull a pack and the healer dies. I get the blame. I yell at the guy that yelled at me, and I am getting some crazy shit right back in my face. So I press the little fine "votekick" button.
...
...
...
Votekick failed
What? I turned around and asked what the hell my mate pressed. "No, he is a good dps y'know"
I understood that the healer guy pressed no, because he wouldn't care himself.
So we completed the instance without me saying a word, and I didn't taunt mobs away from the guys that overaggroed.. Acting like a little baby >_>
We complete the instance.
Nobody in my room says a thing for 20 mins. So I decided to break the ice, by saying:
"Yeah we both know what you would have done if he talked shit like that to you. I remembered me and that healer we had here, when you tanked an instance on your DK, we talked shit about your crap tanking at that point, and you wiped us 3 or 4 times because of it. Why do you make a difference?"
He didn't really respond, and left after 10 mins, even though we agreed that he first should leave later that evening.
Then there was drama in my guild with the huge ego guild master treating the guild like we all were his slaves and minions, so I left without saying a word, except to my friends.
A few days later my friend wants to run heroics again, I accept, and we get into Halls of Reflection, the biggest tanking nightmare. I ask the healer and dps to stand in the alcove, all into it, so we can wait till the ranged mobs get close, so I can get the aggro first. Sure. They go over there, but still stands a bit out in the room, so the ranged mobs aggro's the healer, and I have to taunt all the time. The healer sucked ass anyway, and it was even a druid O_o. (I have played 1 year as a healer, I know it's not always the healers fault that we wiped, and it weren't here, but he could have been better.) We wiped, and I start to say why we wiped, I complained a bit to my mate in my native language, the healer left, a dps left, and my mate tells me to stop "raging" and stop talking smack and get going. I left.
He was in there another hour after I left.
We haven't talked since.
Then I decided to migrate over to my newly found guild, and a good mate of mine on Doomhammer.
Fantastic server.
I got a hunter in level 73, that I really, really, really want to get to 80, but I am SO TIRED of Northrend quests, and pvp in Blackout battlegroup, so I decided to do a random dungeon.
ARGHARGHAGRHAGRHAGRHAGr
The tank didn't keep the aggro (I kept my eyes on Omen, and I wasn't overaggroing, but something went wrong O_o) and the healer didn't throw a single heal, so I left right away.
I'm gonna send my lil' hunter over to Defias Brotherhood, and hopefully my fellow blogger, Ari, won't mind doing some heroics, when I hit 80 or something.
I started on Burning Blade, truly believeing (... Yeah I know something is wrong with that word) that I only belonged there, but now I am slowly going away with my characters. I feel backstabbed for I know that my friend only used me to get instant queues on his dps chicken, and some free cola, while our common healer friend, (his roomate) had his gf over or something.
Yeah pugs can be the pure shit, but I really can't believe he backstabbed my in a silly situation like that. BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT A NEW DPS IS HARD TO GET?
Sigh. It's just a game I know, but it's real people that we are playing with.
I found out that there are so many ways to enjoy this game without the gear circus. My friend, Daldara, that haven't hit the level cap yet, and I ran around Orgrimmar for an hour, playing "Easter hide and seek", where she would turn me into a rabbit, if I didn't get out of line of sight fast enough, and I would lose if I got turned into a rabbit. :D
I lost

My thoughts came across the other incident I had at Crossroads in The Barrens.
Having some fun on my Druid, I decided to go quest a little, and in x-roads,
I stumble into two rogues that are dueling.
One of them is wearing heirloom gear (SUPRISE!!!) and he is the guy that won.
"if i had my heirloom gear i wud have won, cuz u got twice my hp"
"lets just duel again"
"no i am lvling wiht my mate, and i got no heirlooms cuz of dat"
I interrupted..
"Yeah everybody can win, just if "....""
Okay this is where I got a little.... Suprised. The idiot without heirlooms went:
"u tink u r so cool just cuz u r behind that screen of urs, if dis was rl i wud break ur glasses nerd"
So apparently this guy want to kick my ass for real, because I interrupted their dueling.
The idiot left, and I started dueling that other rogue with the heirlooms, and he was not bad. He was really not bad actually.
Is it really that hard for some people to accept that there are people that is better than you?
I don't know this is just weird.
Angwe, his other account and Menethil Harbor.
I don't really care about that bullshit. In other situations though, do I think that I let my emotion get dragged along for no reason. It's really stupid. I need to learn how to seperate the internet from real life.
But then again. Just because I can't touch it, does not mean it's not real.
God I fail at grammar.
I got easter holidays next week. Think it is time for Pure Pwnage, World of Warcraft, Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Dawn of War 2 and Company of Heroes.
Almost forgot Final Fantasy XIII. One of my best friends and I are holding a nerd-lan-of-doom +2 +3. Have no idea what it is, but it's going to be nice to get my thoughts elsewhere.
It's about time to blow something up. (In a videogame of course)
Goddamn Facebook ... --
"It is real. Just because it*s in a computer doesn't mean that it's not real."
"But it's not real"
"Why is it not real?"
"Because it's not there, you can't touch it"
"Just because you can't touch it doesn't mean that it's not real"
From episode 2, season 2, of Pure Pwnage.

Yeah that's right. It says retrying because this is not the first time I am trying to blog.
Inspired by LarĂsa and Ari, i've decided to take up blogging again. I'm not aiming to get poplar like Matticus, but this is more like an attempt to get thoughts out.
Isn't that what blogging is about anyway?
Nevermind. I am not making a definition on what blogging is or what it isn't. That is up to the individual person.
I hope that I can upload a post every day, because nobody wants to read the old stuff all the time.
So yeah.. hmm.. What should I rant about today. There is always something that can be ranted about.
Ari, my fellow blogger, (Oh that feels awesome to write!) and I put together a list of gear that is pretty good if you want to get into raiding as a Holy Priest.
Well it's not because we wrote about gear. It got nothing to do with the raiding part. It got nothing to do with anyth... wait a minute.. It got something to do with this I guess.
I got a priest. Level 80. Shadow and Disc. I got so inspired by TankSpot's Aliena, that I wanted to try out healing as a Priest instead of a Paladin. So I rerolled an alt on a far distant realm, and started to level it like any reroller do. When I got to 80 I got burned out. *Applause*. So I never got to raid with her. (Draenei). I took a break from WoW, for a couple of months, and forgot everything about my Priest. Not too long ago, did I pick up WoW again, starting with my Paladin, Mage and leveling a bit on my hunter, still without my priest in mind. All my main characters are on Burning Blade, on the Horde side, while my Priest is captured as Alliance on a distant realm of Sunstrider.
It was when I was looking for gear for Holy Priests that I remembered. There is more to healing than 3 spells as a Paladin. More than block healing. Wait a minute!! I got a Priest. So my enthusiasm went up, and I recently ordered a ticket to Burning Blade, and hired the best magicians that can turn her into a Blood Elf. Arcane Torrent :3
So it looks like I am getting into raiding again.
Used to co-lead a guild that disbanded due to lack of enthusiasm and there were way too much drama. *sigh*
Haven't raided for a while, except an Onxya 10 pug with a few friends (Which failed due to drama too) and the weekly raid quest in my favorite raid instance: Ulduar. Shame it's that easy now. Maybe I should collect some old gear, and go there again.
What I am doing now is that I am hanging out in a guild where we are three main members, that just do whatever we feel like. There are more members, but for some reason are they too scared to join the Ventrilo server. I got no idea why. :o
Thinking of making a RP character. Would like to do pvp again. There is so much to do, and.. so much time.. That's the beautiful about a mmorpg, where you are the master of yourself, and YOU decide the way you want to have fun.
Haven't played WoW since Friday. ZOMG. No, I just got Final Fantasy XIII, which contains fantastic story, but a rather bad combat system, and exploration system. Paradigms are interesting and fun though. Can't wait to get further into that game!
I've got seriousface on this week, due to shitloads of homework, but I have to do other stuff than homework all the time, or else I would just drop dead.
