Eyes of the East

OK; I’ve finally crossed the half century mark in Azeroth.  As of writing this, I’m level 51.  It’s funny how the game was getting boring to me around level 45 to 49.  It seemed like I would never level up.  After getting over this hump - I’ve instantly gained more interest in questing… or is it really just finishing the quests for more experience points.  I try and read the lore, but I totally use the add-on, Lightheaded, to gain quick insight on quests that aren’t easily laid out.  I find myself logging in a lot with the goal to level up.  I want to make 60, I want my dungeon set (dunno what level), I want to make 70, I want to quit playing shadow and finally run discipline spec’d.  I think… I’m in need of an intervention.

I think I recall people saying level 20 to 50 would be fast and then leveling to 60 would be Hades on Azeroth!  So; I am AND am NOT looking forward to leveling at this point.  The funny thing is I can’t help it.  I’m called to getting my toon higher and higher… I want to run Outland so I can make tons of gold on the AH.  I hear about it all the time.  It was amusing… I have a couple of the guildmates as friends on my bank toon, FergatROn, such as: Jordi, Madmaxx, etc.  Since Maxx is literally on any time ANYONE is on, I’ll share my excitement with him as I tell him, “I made 2g on the AH today.” Then the next day I’ll say, “Things are looking up, I made 7g today.”  Only to have Maxx trump me with say, “Oh, I made 148g just today alone on the AH.”  I want the ability to say that to some lower-level guildmates, ha-ha.

Zone of Choice?

At level 49 I chose to quest in Un’Goro Crater.  OMG!? What a crazy place.  At first it was scary as hell - I kept running into level 53s and plant life/mobs where everywhere.  I felt like a total fool when I later realized, a day or so later, that the plant life are yellow and are not agrro’d until I attack them.  I also noticed that if I took the east trail (along the river), I could have gotten to Marshal’s Refuge, with my nerves still entact.  The first time I explored this zone, I went up the middle.  For a level 49 priest, I kept running into 52, 53 and 55 mobs.  It was scary as Hell!

Overall; I’m done with that place.  As soon as I leveled to 51 I made up my mind that I’m going somewhere else to quest.  This place is NOT fun at all.

Other than that, I don’t know what else I can say, I’m dreaming about World of Warcraft, I’m anticpating getting a break from the kids in order to play World of Warcraft… I need World of Warcraft!  So; since (and thankfully) I’m fully aware of this new-found addiction… I’m really going to have to keep myself in check.  We’ll see how I do!
