adventures_in_azerothI've hardly posted about WoW at all lately, partly because I'd rather be playing it and partly because I keep thinking that no one is interested. And maybe they aren't, on my LJ, but geez, that's what communities are for, right? *laughs at self*
Anyway! I wanted to share the WoW squee, so here's a few squeeful things!
1) My main, Rayner, has officially filled every gear slot with current PVP honor gear and is working on the conquest gear (two pieces so far, and I ought to have another Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on how BGs go). \o/ God, being properly geared is so nice.
2) Having gotten all the honor gear I need, I'm now using honor to buy justice points to build a PVE set for him so that I can even run dungeons on him, too!
3) I am only four Tol Barad commendations from getting the Drake of the West Wind...which means I shall have it tonight. BWA HA HA! It is likely I shall make a second post to show it off. *g* It's my first dragon, you see.
4) Not having Area-ed since I turned 70 and ran three just for kicks, last night I 2v2ed with a Mage who asked for a partner in chat so many times that I figured s/he'd tolerate an Arena n00b like me just to have a warm body to cap points with. Not only did s/he tolerate me, s/he gave great advice and was super encouraging and offered to partner with me again in the future! \o/ I learned so much.
5) I bought a second account just so I could RAF my roommate up to 80 so I could have end game help on my server when I need it. I rolled a hunter, since I've been dabbling in the class, and I think it's my second favorite class now. I'll definitely be spending a lot more time on the hunter I have on my regular account once we're done RAFing.
6) Cross-realm raids in the next patch! Whoo hoo! Now (well, soon) my roomie and I can help each other's favorite characters get gear!
...I'll stop now. *g*

Indeed! I am amazed sometimes at how many different ways there are to play WoW. Folks who raid, folks who Arena, or run BGs, or play the auction house, or quest...something for everyone. :-) I keep dipping my toe into different areas to see how I'll like them. Random BGs are my happy place, but I did enjoy how different 2v2 was.

Thanks! I am going to endeavor to post more, partly because I've noticed that people who PVP only ever talk about it as if everyone in their audience knows everything they do. It makes it really baffling for n00bs and folks who are interested but don't participate themselves!

I've barely logged into WoW for the last couple of weeks, not for lack of interest but because I've been tied up working on my story for ante_up_losers, the Losers fandom fic exchange. It's with my beta now, though, so hopefully I'll be able to get back to the game soon. I miss it!
Grats on finishing your exchange fic! I was signed up for
