That chicken will rue the day it crossed my path!Day 7
Perhaps the dullest day in Wow, I spent the whole day just traipsing around the world. In my travels I finally found a wand: the other weapon my Warlock can use! Hurrah! Unfortunately I now have to get my mastery with wands up to a respectable level, having around level 60 in Swords and a starting level of 1 in wands. My new super powerful wand is therefore barely able to damage a rabbit. This all changed over the course of the day however and I'm now a cool 50 with wands. Fear my ability to wield a magic stick!
Day 6
Some absolutely horrendous lag today which resulted in me dying: a lot. It can really ruin your fun of what is quickly becoming an excellent game. But anyway, today I had my first duel with another player; he was one level below me at level 12. And of course, I lost. Duelling with other players is exactly the same as fighting normally and as you'd expect, is actually quite fun - watching your health seep down, praying that he'll lose a lot of energy with your next spell, doing everything to stay alive. The duel came down to the wire and we both only had a tiny bit of energy left when he clinched it. I was actually casting my most powerful spell at the time, so I like to think that he was lucky...
AdvertisementSome of the quests really do require you to band together to complete. Unfortunately, the beta isn't exactly crowded at the moment and this means that banding a group together to do that, oh so difficult task, becomes a task in itself. I really hope this won't be the case in the final release, and looking at the stories of server collapses from huge user activity in the States, this shouldn't be something to worry about.
Day 5
The first thing I noticed when I logged on today, at around 4pm was the horrendous lag. Nicely, WoW informs you of your connection latency, and usually mine is around the 100 mark (the lower the better). Today it sat at 1400! I was getting stuck on objects and casting was taking an age. Thankfully, after about 15 minutes it cleared up: about the same time that a Night Elf player had marched his way into undead territory. I decided to lay the violence in all my level 12 glory. I died, over and over again, until I did a runner. The lesson learned? Avoid enemy players who have travelled to the heart of your territory.
The Undercity awaits...So anyway, I met a chap willing to teach me how to fish. Knowing how good fishing can be in RPG's I gladly accepted and got my hands on a rod as soon as I could find one. And then I proceeded to fish. Yes, fishing is great and I'd caught a large haul of the slimy fools so I happily trotted off to sell them. And then I found out that fish are next to worthless. One bronze for a fish? Well that's great, chuffing great. Driven by the urge to find more exotic and expensive fish I have started upon a quest to fish everywhere.
