Holiday & Game Idea
The last week I’ve been on holiday. It was a nice break away from writing and generally away from the computer.
However while i was on holiday i started to think about WAR online and why it makes me think it’s much better than WoW. The answer is simply, that it’s done in a new way and has new features.
So i started coming up with ideas and improvements i would add to a game. I thought up all different inspiring games and books i’ve read and played in the past. From all of these i came up with some general points which, i feel if used to create a mmorpg, could bring foreword the genre to a new point.
That point would be the point of realism. The game would seem as if it could just have existed in the past. Along with he sense of realism would be the complete sense of freedom. To be what you want, travel where you want and change as you see fit.
I’m sure many of my points have been thought out by companys, but i must admit to acctually achieve some of them would be an enormous task, and some i could not come up with a way that they could work.
Anyway I’ll be finalizing them and post them up so people can see what they think. I think that if they could all work in a game, then that game would be great! 
Finishing Up
Today I decided to finish every group instance and visit every raid instance i hadn’t already.
Luckily I had already visited and completed everywhere in outland a while ago.
This first place i visited was Ragefire Chasm. Being Alliance it was once place i’d never been to, although ?I have visited Ogrimaar many times before. Upon entering the city i couldn’t help but take a quick break and moonfire an unsuspecting tauren who had just lost a duel. Muhahahaha ! Well i soloed the instance and i came out with a large number of greens and 200 linen cloth! Every mob was dropping 5 cloth and i was amazed. The instance was als oreallyp really cool. Simular to Stokades in layout but much much cooler. For thse who havn’t been, it’s much like either of the razorfens with a Molten Core theme , but much simpile.
Next I was off to Stratholme. Althou I had cleared the living side many times before, I never entered the undead side before TBC was released. Today after it buggin gout once I finally cleared the area and finshed off the baron. Unfortunately no mount =[.
Lastly it was time for visiting hte only raid area i had never been to before. AQ 40. Altough i only managed to explore around the first boss it was worth it. I saw a new kind of mob i have never seen the likes of before, a new interesting boss and finally a stunning area. I hope to go back at level 80 with a group and clear my way through!
Well thats it. Everywhere explored for now, oh and i finally reached 8000g. Just 2k more before WAR online and i’ll be happy !
Farming and Blogging
First off i’ve spent the last week or two farming in WoW for my upcoming Deathknight.
So far I have gone to all the lower level areas with various high level characters and farmed mats for professions. Using my own profession levelling guides, I have farmed enough to take my engineering to 300 along with recipies, my cooking to 300 along with recipes, enough herbs to fill up the contents of a normal guild space and have accumilated 7500g just for the character. My next aims are to farm whatever cloth I am likily to be short on to get my First Aid up to 375, any recipies and meat i will be unlikily to get to push me to 375 and the same again for engineering. I may gather what i need for fishing too, but that is unlikily. I have also gather large bags to use as well as a few other essentials.
Anyway onto blogging.
I’ve been writting articles for dominateyoursever.com recently, but have currently stopped writting due to them being under a lot of pressure already writing what i hope to be very detailed guides.
So now I have been accepted to write for a new blog. However this one is not for WoW, it is for Warhammer Online. The website is http://www.warhammergamers.com/ .
As i mentiooned previously i am going to be quitting WoW for a while to join WAR. While I play i enjoy to write guides to help others as well as an occassional post. However when I was offered the job I had very little idea of the game.
Since then I have read huge amounts about the game at http://warhammeronline.wikia.com and have almost become in love with how good this game sounds. As well as this I have also watched two years or so of podcasts by th makers themselves, over at http://www.warhammeronline.com/podcast/index.php .
Overall the game seems to be a great replacement for WoW and should be a very nice change. After a lot more reading I hope to have gained enough infomation on the game to write my first post. However it may take getting into the beta or even the start of the game to do that.
Content Change
Anyone who has seen this blog knows that it has never been really that active.
To be honest it’s because i’ve never really found writing it fun. It’s been more of a chore i would rather not do.
Because of this i’m now going to change the style of the blog.
From September 18th i am going to try and make a short post each day about playing the upcomming game Warhammer Online. Before then i might make a post once a week about World of Warcraft and my experiences in the game.
Lastly i may make very short posts just about random ideas i have at the time.
So all in all, each post from now on will be less complete but hopefully i can make them much more often.
