I don’t like playing PVP (player versus player) on WoW much, mainly because I suck, and also it can suck when the other random players on your side suck as well. BUT I really wanted a tiger epic mount. There were basically two ways of getting a tiger mount for my character: 1) Do random quests to get exalted with Darnassus and buy a mount from that city, or 2) play enough PVP battles to earn medals of honor and purchase from a PVP mount vendor. I went for the secoond option because the PVP black war tiger was cuter than the mounts available from Darnassus. Understand that at this point, I had already gotten a regular epic mount (a horse that increased my speed by 100%) and didn’t NEED to have another mount….but the tiger was cute!!!! (ok, maybe more like cool? whatever, I still think it’s cute) And if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you probably have a life. So just shut up and rejoice with me in the cuteness of my fake online pet that helps me move around fast in a virtual world that is sucking the life out of me. No really, it’s a fun game.
In other news, I set parental controls on Jed’s WoW account to help save the soul that Vince sold to get his own back. Sadly, Vince says he has “quit WoW” for real. Again. We’ll see how long it lasts. In the meantime, we have Jed to make up the 5th person in our group. (^_^)
And no, I haven’t been playing WoW all day during my week off. I’ve updated my website (see??? posts on the front page now!!), did some laundry, and filed my taxes. BOOYAH! I also plan to do some writing/editing of stories and resume this week, and of course do all my grading and planning jazz for teaching. Yay! We should all get entire weeks off every couple of months. I think it helps keep things in perspective?
