It's good you chose to play what you like playing.

As Jaedia has said, maybe I will come back to WoW after a few months. I've read her post on her personal blog about why she quit Rift and went back to WoW. I can understand her reasoning. I don't know if I'll have the same experience,but I can see it is possible.

So many good memories from TBC... things seemed more intense back then, or is it just the veil of nostalgia that makes me think that?<br />Nowadays I absolutely love to hang out in Ironforge with my Dwarves. Of course they have their hearthstones there, inconvenient or not. With the Draenei I just started playing again I always made a point of only visiting class and profession trainers in the Exodar, and that way I began to love that city a lot, partly for its quiet, but also for the soundtrack and the general sense of tranquility that the Draenei radiate.<br /><br />On horde, though, I've always been a boring Orgrimmar child. Thunder Bluff and Undercity are both awesome cities, but I always spent my idling time where everyone else did, in the Valley of Honor. Nowadays both my horde guilds kind of moved in in the Tauren district, so I spend most time there, although my hearth is set to the Valley of Spirits, since I'm a Troll and the place is awesome. :)Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491816948398944076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931837878490458349.post-18474516276335769822011-05-21T23:07:25.880-05:002011-05-21T23:07:25.880-05:00I like to go out to the cliffs of Aszura near Mt H...I like to go out to the cliffs of Aszura near Mt Hyjal.

I found out very early on in my WoW career that Silvermoon was completely dead, because Org and Dal where things were happening. (I started playing in Wrath days.)<br /><br />Those days are long gone, along with the portals, but Q frequents Dragonmaw Port.<br /><br />Tomakan, naturally, hangs around Shattrath for now. I'm working on Outland Loremaster on him, and really, outside of the Exodar where else would a Draenei be?<br /><br />Now Neve.... She's got that nice teleport spell, so she <i>does</i> split her time between Dalaran and Silvermoon. The peace and quiet of all of these sites is really appealing to me, although I've agitated in the past for more NPCs in the underutilized cities.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931837878490458349.post-14454044989988973552011-05-19T14:20:16.363-05:002011-05-19T14:20:16.363-05:00I totally get you.

Leaving the latest Warcraft magazine on my desk in plain sight has attracted more than enough WoW dialogue to hold me over. "My daughter plays that game" to patch discussions. I've even recruited more people who were simply thinking about coming back to the game.. <br /><br />GLElkagorasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16868176919786509891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931837878490458349.post-39869912049917272562011-05-05T13:46:35.168-05:002011-05-05T13:46:35.168-05:00If they aren't including you just because you&...If they aren't including you just because you're a woman, it's probably not a great loss.<br />I've been in situations like that before, but usually after mentioning something about my raid experiences the problem was resolved and those guys would even come to me for advice. :D I don't think this is about epeen, it's about the rage that wells up when you realise people judge you by your gender, appearance, age or whatever without even asking.

If you keep your main page WoW orientated and your additional writing on seperate tab, that's a solid way to work things. I think Anna did that with her blogs, though she kept them completely seperate.

I...Perhaps unsuprisingly, I totally get this post. I kinda wish I'd written it... <br /><br />One of the reasons I now run two blogs is that I really love writing. I love my WoW-blog, I love the feeling of being a (very) small part of a blogging community but I also love my non-WoW one for the freedom it gives me to write about whatever I choose to. It's a balance that works well for me. I highly recommend it!<br /><br />Can I also recommend NaNoWriMo (if you haven't already tried/done it) for the push it gives you to just... write? I got on board last year, and although I fell well short of completing it, I did make 30,000 words which I'm still damn proud of. All things being equal, I'm going to try again this year. <br /><br />Also, personally I like your 'voice' but I understand what you mean by it being your 'speaking voice' as I kinda feel that way about what I write. Being so narrative is causing me issues at present as I have to try and switch off from 'blog mode' and write academic essays, which I find unnatural and tough to do. I'm sure it's good for me though...<br /><br />And I hope this goes without saying but just in case it is one of those things that needs to just be said anyways... if you want to bounce writing ideas (or whatever) of anyone I'm very emailable...<br /><br />(OHeh - capatcha was 'skibe' which I mis-read as 'scribe'. This has amused me!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
