So this morning at 2am Central time Cataclysm is supposed to come live. It is 2:24 am and I have yet to be able to log in. Honestly, I am not surprised. I think between installing an entirely new game and all the technical stuff that required combined with dipshits like me constantly pressing the connect button and overloading the servers that it will be atleast 3 am before I log on to the servers to get to play. I’m really not that concerned. In fact, after I get done writing this post, I will probably check to see if I can log on again and if I can’t log on, I will nap.
I didn’t go nearly as insane as other people with their prep work for the release of the xpac. I think I was actually quite zen about the entire thing. I made me and my boyfriend some flasks (fake things that give your character more power in game, think of it as WoW Viagra) and emptied my bags. Other people went insane.
I know people who made lists and maps and charts. I know people who figured out the best way to get materials to level their professions as high as they could. One of my favorite aspects of the game is professions and I have been freakishly excited because picking flowers and mining gives experience points. Still, I am not going to rush to get my character’s professions maxed out the first night. I will get the stuff I need while I level. See how zen I am!
Now one of my guild’s jokes is my farming abilities. Whenever anyone needs something, especially herbs, they come to me because I am insane. I would hazard to say that since Tina left our server that when I am motivated I am Durotan’s best flower picker. Now I know its a silly thing to be proud of and it is Durotan and saying you are the best of anything on Durotan is kind of like saying you are the smartest person on a short bus, but let me have my one distinction. We all need to be good at something and my think is mindlessly picking digital flowers in a digital world to make digital Viagra. You really should not judge me.
I had planned on taking a nap from 10pm to 1 am but I watch “Ninja Assassin” instead. I know people who have stocked up on Mountain Dew and caffeine pills and probably black tar heroin. I thought about Mountain Dew but I decided coffee and naps would have to work for me. As much as I like the idea of staying up for three days straight tweaking out and playing Warcraft, I know realistically I am just not that hardcore. I like sleep. I like sleep a lot. I am also reading a really good book. Besides, whats the fun in a game if you are hallucinating while playing it. Okay I do know some people who love to play video games while tripping balls, but I am not one of them. I am also not going to get an ego boost from being one of the first in my guild to get to 85.
This blog is crap. Its 2:46 am on release day. What the frel did you expect? Happy hunting people and I will give you more lucid updates later.
