Free Candy For Everyone

I’ve been playing a bit of WoW and been busy leveling my Shaman. My Mage hasn’t been getting much play time. I still play most Sunday’s with the group I originally started with, the former Crazy Cattle. But the more they change the game, the less I like the Mage.

She’s not quite dead yet, but she is just not nearly as much fun as some of the other classes. It’s funny, I tried all sorts of different classes and kept coming back to the Mage. She’s the first character I took to 70 (and for now the only one, but that won’t be true for long) and I just couldn’t get enough of lobbing giant fireballs around. But it feels like the other classes are all getting more and more buffs and mages are just getting more and more fragile. It’s just not so fun anymore.

I keep up on my Druid and abandoned her in the low 60s for my Mage. But now she’s looking better and better. With all the great loot and buffs to feral druids she’ll be viable as DPS or a tank. It just seems like she has more options than my Mage. Plus, if need be I can re-spec her as a healer and everyone loves a healer. So why would I play my squishy Mage anymore?

We’ll see what happens. I’m closing in on 70 on my Shaman and still having a good time. But for grouping with my old school group I need something on that server and I just may have to revive my Druid for something a little more viable.

(And I really don’t know why all my character’s names end in A, that is totally weird.)

I just hit 70 with my first character in World of Warcraft. I know it’s hard to believe it took me this long, but I sort of stopped playing my main character months ago, and then stopped playing entirely shortly after that. But the Halloween events - excuse me, Hallow’s End events going on lured my old original Crazy Cattle crew back together to kill us some Headless Horsemen (or the same one over and over).

I was at level 69 and a quarter, or something like that. And I decided it was about time to hit 70, so this week I’ve been questing in Shadowmoon Valley and tonight I finally hit 70.

Here’s the moment of the ding:

Now I just need to buy my flying mount and start saving up for my epic flying mount! Though that’s a lot of grinding, we’ll see if I maintain interest in the game long enough to do that. I didn’t get my epic land mount until after the expansion came out, it might just be after Wrath of the Lich King comes out that I get that next mount up.

I should have enough cash on me to buy the normal flying mount, and if not, I have enough gold on some other characters to type the balance. Tomorrow I go soaring around Outland just because I can!
