MoP So Far...

It's pretty good so far. The Wandering Isle introduced the pandarian race a bit and playing said race is fun. Monk is a little hard at first, especially getting down Brewmaster, I haven't touched Mistweaver yet, but maybe later down the road. For now, I'm totally into Windwalker. Pandaria's Jade Forest is a great introduction to the new leveling areas. I'm about to go into Valley of the Four Winds, but later when I get time. The pet battle were interesting. I thought my Speedy was going down easier, but it leveled without problems and the system is becoming easier for me to understand. Overall, this game is looking bright for me. I probably just scratched the top part of this expansion and still have a lot to cover, but that's good to me anyways. However, I can't wait to obtain a Cloud Serpent. Those things look amazing.

Pre-Ordered And Ready!

You heard right. I pre-ordered the normal expansion for MoP and ready to go as soon as I get my copy from the store (couldn't get it online; almost could, but credit card requirement as usual). They did gave me beta access, but I didn't felt like going on beta since I think that would be a waste of time and computer space for my actual gaming for this expansion. I'm playing on Ner'zhul US, but I'm probably going to re-roll with a monk on Trollbane US with some friends around the release date. I'm slowly not liking PvP and when MoP rolls in, it's going to be crazy when the leveling 85-90 occurs. So I'm going to take a "break" from that realm and be with my friends.

A Longer (and maybe Pernament) Hiatus...

It's definitely going to be longer thanks to system requirements that are out of my reach right now. I just learned from a box art leak that MoP will require a dual-core processor and a better graphics card than what I have. As you may or may not know, my income is nearly non-existing as I have no job and chump change from my parents here and there. So getting these upgrades are not as easy as one may think. Not to mention that its risky to update my CPU with an five year old computer and it's probably on it's last limbs (just bought a sound card since the on-board sound died). So I practically out of the gaming deal of this.

I probably won't come back to this game at this rate. It's a shame, but I guess they have to upgrade the game's programming eventually. Just didn't think it would be at such a bad time.

MoP Login Screen and Pandaren Mounts

Overall, a little dull and boring. Even then, that's the point of the login screen. It's suppose to be peaceful and calm with this expansion. Even though war is still going on between Alliance and Horde, there's nothing wrong with a little serenity here and there.

Also, the mounts for the pandarens is going to be cool. Apparently, these bulky buggers are dragon turtles. I bet these are the epic version of them and the one with less armor are going to be the rare version of dragon turtles. Either way, turtles as mounts is always cool.

Cloud Serpent Mount

I must say, these are some really, nice-looking mounts. Especially how they move in the sky. A little funny, but overall smooth. I can't wait to try them out when the expansion is available.

That's A Wrap!

Since last month, I officially ran out of time and probably not going to come back for a while. Fortunately, I got my For The Children achievement before it ran out. So I finally got a worthwhile title for my tauren druid. Not to mention my lovely pet, since he so cute and all that. Also, this marks a slow down on my posting for a while. Until I get more time, I will be posting a lot less often than I use to. However, I may post something interesting here once in a while. If you want to follow me on where I'm blogging, check out my general gaming blog here. I'm doing mostly League of Legends for now, but I still do all other kinds of gaming. So it won't be 100% about just one game.

Until then, I'll see you guys around.

On Wings of Nether

Well, I had to get a few eggs yesterday and became exalted with Netherwing. I'm glad that I did this task before I go on my hiatus. So, here is my first Netherwing Drake I bought (and yes, I bought the rest). I could do that Mountain o' Mount achievement, but that'll take some dedication to get up there. Oh well, maybe when MoP lands, I go for more. I'm trying to get Matron this year, but I only have two days since my subscription ends the third day. Well, I'll see what happens. I'll probably get it all on the first day and finish it off their. I'll be a little busy in RL this week, so it's going to be tricky.

About Blizzard and Social Networking...

They exist. If you want to hear "official" wording from them, they have a Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter webpages for you to check out their updates. You can click here if you want to access one of their social networking sites for future news and such. Also, the Annual Pass offer will be closed after Monday, April 30th. So if you still haven't decided to get one, better make the decision sooner than later.

This will be my last week. So I'll be trying to get a Netherdrake for my druid this week. It'll take a couple of days, but should be able to get it done before my subscription runs out. I'll post another post after I get it. Just be patient with me.

Going on Another Hiatus

Next month, my subscription is running out. Apparently, the SoR isn't what I want it to be and I'm now going on a subscription game hiatus. Don't worry though, I'll be playing other games and make posts about certain things to come in MoP that I feel that needs attention. Aside from that, that's what I have current for now.

Sound Blew Out

No seriously. Was playing another game at one moment and after I uninstall it and try to play WoW, it just died on me. Now I need to get a sound card so I can hear again. I'm thinking of getting a USB one, but sticking to the idea of getting it in PCI. It'll be replaced around April, so we'll see what happens.

Also, I'm going to try and update my commonly used characters later today. My hunter and shaman have been on a roll when it comes to gearing and such, but still has ways to go before being completed.

About the Female Pandaren Model...

It's not too bad. I can see where they can improve on it, but nothing to get up to arms about. Heck, came out a lot better than what the female worgen had to suffer. In fact, they look kinda cute for their look. Oh well, there still some time before the beta and release. So they have a lot of time in the world to fix it.

Oh Boy! *EDITED*

Seems like SoR is getting a huge buff. Not only able to be instantly 80 and into Cataclysm, but also capable of getting a mount as well. This is really good news for me, since I always wanted to be rewarded for bring back people in. Hopefully one of you guys will help me out of getting one when it comes out.

*If you want a SoR, you'll have to make a comment with your email address. However, for safety sake, I'll hide/delete comments once I get your email address in the SoR tab.

I'm Back!/War College

Yep! Up for another round of PvE/PvP drama and excitement (what's left of it). Since I'm back now, I'll be re-opening my SoR section soon when Blizzard enables it. Just need to make some links and maybe (won't hold my breathe) some people needs them. I'll probably poke around more if people need them, but going to set up five when it starts.

Also, make sure to check out the War College, because they may have some advice on how to do Isle of Conquest. Probably not the best, but advice is advice.

Blizzard Large Laid Off/Coming Back In March

Seems like Blizzard let go 600 of their employees. Although it does not affect the game development areas, it's never fun to lose a job anywhere. Still, they might be able to find a place thanks to recommendations from the company. So, good luck to those 600 that got laid off.

Also, I might be coming back to WoW either tomorrow or next week. It may vary since I'm still in school, but I should be able to get back on soon enough. Also, I'll open up my SoR section when that happens. So be on a lookout if you need a scroll.

This is Good News...Somewhat

Well, Patch 4.3.3 has officially came out. Not only does it support 64-bit computer clients, but SoR has been buffed and turned back on. Even to the point of handing out up to 100 scrolls. However there is a few bad news to this:

• There will be too many scrolls going out, making the demand for them shrink immensely. This might make my SoR section pretty useless since there will be places that will have a lot of them everywhere.
• I need to get a subscription again to benefit this feature. By the time I get one, the demand for them will be a lot smaller and I probably will have to buy carefully now.
• Unless the next expansion is coming out real soon, this is too soon to be turn back on. People with Annual Pass have a free shot of cutting down that demand even more with this option.

So, it seems I just need to get an income at this rate because it's not going to be easy keeping my subscription up. Still, I will provide them when I come back on. However, I'm not sure if it'll be resourceful like it use to be.

SoR Maybe Back Soon/New FFXI Blog/Video Section Update

Scroll of Resurrection maybe back in the next few patches. I don't know when, but hopefully this will put me back on getting more subscription time. So stay tuned to Blizzard's announcements and MMO-Champion's posts.

Also, here's my FFXI blog, Tiny Ren. Just a little blog talk of my Tarutaru, Renwin. Similar to WoW, talking about gear and what I'm doing. Also, I won't have as many as 10 characters since that game is hard just with one. Two would not only hurt me time-wise, but even money-wise as well. Just what I need at this moment. Also, I'll be posting up some End Time videos on my YouTube, so click on the tab above if you want to view it. I'm not back yet, but I just forgot to upload them until now. Check them out.

Need a Break...

Sorry, I just got hooked on FFXI (Final Fantasy 11) recently (thanks to a friend of mines) and just couldn't post anything up. More so, my subscription ran out and have no cash on me. So, I'm going to take a break from this game. I'm not sure when I'll be back, but hopefully when I get a job or some cash near my birthday (highly doubt it, but just watch out for it).Still, I'm playing League of Legends and FFXI. So I'm not all dead. You can find me in those games. I'll post a new blog about FFXI, but it may take a while with the design. So hang with me.

Scroll of Resurrection

I have two US keys for Scroll of Resurrection avaliable. If you need one, just click one of the links below and notify me with a comment that you used one of them. That way, I'll take them off and won't have outdated keys. Hopefully, I'll get a few months out of this and post more scrolls for you to receive. Thank you in advance!

If you want a key, just follow this link here or click the "Scrolls" button above.

...And Somehow I Did.

Strangely enough, I just received a free month subscription via Scroll of Resurrection a while ago and I never knew about it until today. Now, I have three days left on my subscription and need to send another scroll to someone that's coming back to play. I'm not sure what to do to thank you, but if you want to, just comment to after sending me your information at MMO-Champion with a PM. My user name is Renwin if you want to look for me.

I Told You To Leave!

Yes I did, but not without ninja pulling you before leaving the group. Before you ask why I ninja pulled Kilnara in Zul'Gurub, it was not because I was just being a bad player, but because people accusing me of wiping the whole group on her (the shaman healer got killed by the Wave of Agony and the DK tank decided that popping Army with the adds still alive was a good idea). Well, they can now accuse me of that, but suffering more grief with no payback of any kind. But what can you do. Next time, mainly shamans who thinks I'm just a pushover, I'll make sure of ninja pulling before I leave.
