Tauren Toons

Tauren characters, male and female 

I’ll explain the title later in the post.  Last night I finally got a chance to play some WoW.  It’s been roughly 3 days since I last played and I’ve been itchin’ to play.  Life got in the way and I had to be responsible and not play those days.  So; tonight - all seemed right.  I was willing to go till 2:00 AM, but I shouldn’t go past that mark.I started to quest and figured I’ll hammer out some Darkshore things I still have listed and then get back to Astranaar to finish up some long-winded quests there.  I ended up in Wetlands and I had to rumble with some raptors, etc.  I asked the guildmates if anyone could help me - “I’m a priest for Elune’s sake!  So flippin’ weak - I can’t take on same-level raptors on my own!”  One of our guildies came to aide me - she was 5 levels below me - I laughed, but no matter, good exp for her and quest completions for me.  Everyone wins.

LakeshireLast night a fellow guild mate (Jorde) and I went to our first role play event, ever! It was being hosted by Bjorke and her guild (The Guild of Sterling) in an Inn at Lakeshire. I logged in around 5:00 PM (server time) and I saw Bjorke online. I thought to myself, “cool, I’ll finally get a chance to talk to this heavy RP player.” We said our simple “hellos” and she told me at 6:00 PM her guild is hosting an RP event at Lakeshire. I said, “Yeah, I’ll be there!” Now I really didn’t know if I could make it. My wife gave me a break from the kids and I had about an hour before the event happened.

So; I went downstairs and told my wife about it. I’ve been sharing with her my interest in role play and the podcast I’ve been listening too. So; she was cool with it, but I needed to spend time with her and my son, in order for my transition to WoW (before 11:00 PM) to be smooth around 6:00 PM, which was 9:00 PM EST. I helped my wife with something and I kept my eye on the time. Six o’clock came around and I happily went upstairs to log into WoW.
