I suppose I could watch some animé, but for some idiotic reason, this struck me as much more amusing. As some of you know, I started playing Worlds of Warcraft back in March. It is a lot cheaper than buying hundreds of dollars of animé every month, or obliging myself to buy series through massive fansub downloads (Ouran, here I come. That I don’t mind. Otome wa Boku, I mind.)
So I started on the same server as Master Plan, as a hordeling, and I now have a 45th cleric, a 31st warrior, and two lower level characters. In the meantime, MP has played so much he’s taken his main all the way from 38 to 43. Five whole levels. Bah. Dr.Heinous has almost kept up with me, having a 42 mage, a 35 38 pally, and two other characters in the 20’s. (Actually, in terms of aggregate levels, he’s ahead of me. I don’t play my alts as much.) Several other mutual friends have played with us, off and on, but they had lvl 70 Alliance characters, so they weren’t keen on spending a lot of time working up from scratch on yet another server.
I finally decided to spend a little time on their server, and started a gnome rogue there….only my sense of absurdity got the best of me.
The name is bad enough. For those of you who have played, look where she’s at. For those of you who haven’t played, it’s the Undercity, capital of one of the enemy factions. I walked her all the way there starting out at level 1 and dying dozens of time. All of her xp (save about 300 from one quest) are from discovering new areas as she ran through zones. Amazingly, she was only killed once by a Horde player. It took close to four hours, but I detoured a lot in Hillsbrad.
I think I can get her to Ogrimmar and Thunder Bluff if I try hard enough…
Update: A few minutes later….
How rude.
Speaking of absurd: “The world is a dangerous place to be without pants.“
Now get to Ogrimmar and Thunder Bluff. See if you can score the trifecta!
And be sure to wear pants.
If I fail to wear pants, we can start a band.
(Explanation of the in-joke: Dr.H and I had characters on Starsider in Star Wars Galaxies; they both had the Entertainer skill for a while. We formed the No Pants Band, a comedy-music duo. Smash hits, we weren’t, but we did play a few empty bars in the cities. No, this wasn’t meant to be funny. And for the record, I still hate Sony and the CU. )
