So close...

Well I figured it was time to make a blog, and as usual I've done it at a time when I could easily be busy doing something else, for once it's not a report I'm procrastinating on, this time it's WoW. I know how weird, anyway I'm 60% of the way into level 79, I could easily get 80 today, plus I'm ill, so that gives me even more of a reason to get to 80. I'm that sort of ill where nothing but sitting in front of the computer and going "uuuuurrrggghh" is possible. But I will get to 80 today, I know it, it's only 11:30, I've got ages, especially since I'm too sick to go to dance tonight. I figured 4 hours of dance mixed in with this rather nasty cold would not mix well, which is a shame since there is only one more week of dance left before Easter and lab sessions at uni have kept me away from dance for a little while :(

I felt I was looking bad ass at the moment, so here is a picture of my current main:
Yes I know it's a Death Knight, since WoW first started I've played a druid, a balance druid, and I quite liked being a druid and then a load of stuff happened, mostly with the guild I ran, and I didn't like playing anymore, I took a break when Wrath of the Lich King came out, and by time I came back everyone was 80 already. I logged my druid and I just didn't want to play her, it's so silly but all the upset caused whilst I was that character, that name, was still there. So I thought I would give a Death Knight a go and it was love straight away, exactly the kind of class I've always wanted to play. I love the life leeching and I really enjoy being a tank. So this lovely little Death Knight is my main now, and I'm enjoying playing her a lot, though I am just waiting for the nerf...it's going to come soon I can tell.

I've been surprised at how much money you can make in WoW so quickly, I took up Herbalism and Skinning as my professions as something quick and easy to level, whilst still providing a reasonable amount of income, and yes although they have attributed to a large amount of my income, a great big chunk of it is still from questing and selling unwanted quest rewards, it's nuts. It took me forever to get my druid her fast flying ability, that 5k gold was a real killer to get. It took me a couple of levels on my Death Knight and I still had change left over to buy her 950g class mount, as you can see in the screen shot. It's weird, but I suppose it's good in one way as there is less reason for gold sellers now, since everyone already has lots of gold anyway, it doesn't seem to have effected the prices of things on the auction house too much either.

Anyways I think I've rambled enough for today, I'm going to get back to some serious questing now, might listen to the music from Swan Lake whilst I play, there is some lovely bits of music in that ballet.
