Heyo.
Sorry on the little delay, Ive currently been helping out and having some fun in Kharazan. One Khara epic for me, yay \o/.
Let me say first up - Black Morass is a pain, If you cant do it with a PuG, and fail consecutively.. theres nothing wrong with you. Its hard for PuGs to get the tactics nailed down (Oh Shadow Labyrith, How doth thee PuG's shame your name...) If you fail with a guild group im sure its either group composition or just bad luck :).
Right. Kharazan.
My Raid Community had a little fun in Khara, Downing Attumen and attempting Moroes on a Friday. I got attuned on the Sunday, So I will have to wait untill the next run (Being the only Holy/Disc priest attuned helps, I'll tell ya.) to see Attumen go down. We attempted Moroes on the Sunday and managed to slaughter him eventually. All good fun. We then went on to the Maiden and one-shotted her.. and now shes Nerfed. Free loot! I have the healing bracers she dropped, a VERY nice piece of kit there.
We moved on to the Opera event (Will go into some detail) the other day and got the Big Bad Wolf. (Note On The Following: This is not fake) Much like the story, the "oh what big teeth you have" chat boxes are quite fun.. and then you get. "Oh Granny, What phat lewts you have!".. yes.. To which the old lady responds to by morphing into a huge werewolf (Sons Of Arugal Model)and proceeds to yell "ALL THE BETTER TO OWN YOU WITH!!".. Yes.. We managed to get him down and are currently stopping at the Curator. Were not well enough geared to down him yet. All in good time.
Kharazan is a nice place, It has some icky pulls and you will wipe alot on your first goes there but its part of the process, and all in all its enjoyable. If you dont mind wiping.. Why raid?
Im not going to go into too much detail or describe the boss fights, WoWWiki (google it you lazy un's) has some decent tactics and stuff you can delve into. Will comment on the Opera Event though!
After talking to the Stage Manager he walks out onto the stage, and proceeds to talk about the play and such. Your confronted with a large audience of ghosts with cheering and clapping and stuff. It is very interesting and fun to experience. Nice event!
Thats all I can really think of so far. Will probably be hitting the Heroics/Instance Farming/Farming Early Kharazan for a while yet. As you know ive kind of left my shaman behind(Cylintir) and am currently focusing on the above with my Priest (Valiya) So feel free to stalk me on the armoury.
Anyways, Good luck to you all in your adventures. And get into Kharazan will ya? :).

The Armoury.
Just a small post.
The Armoury.
Is it good? Yes.
Is it great? Maybe
Is it an invasion of ones privacy? Kinda.
But then again, what do you have to hide?
Its a great little thing in my experience so far - Fun and fairly intuitive, but it still lacks a good few features, bag contents, alternate gear sets, etc etc. Theres not much i can personally say bad or good about it. But thats just me.
I do not know why Blizzard choose to do this, but hey if they have the money they may aswell spend it on us!
Hey, Like i said - small post, just letting you know im still around :D.

I No Life, Therefore I Am.
Ah quit it you mysterious commentators, but on the other side, thanks for reminding me.
For those who care, which seem to number at 2, And DM was right on the money - I have been EXTREMELY occupied with BC. Not blogging for one day turned into 2, then 3.. and so on.
But now im back!
I have been no lifing it since release. What can I say? Its great. My Shaman is 70, My Priest is 70 abd i'll be levelling those old alts sometime in the future. My Blood Elf Mage made it to level 20 and is ready to be played again in the future.
Of course, Im not the only one. As the title says, The creed for many a MMORPG player is "I No Life, Therefore I Am." Of course, this is not the majority or we wouldnt have a expansion mainly orientating around casual players. Yes, Casuals, dont argue with me or ill smite you.
I Levelled my Shaman (Pretty much neglecting my priest) Resto Specced upto 70 and was probably in the top 100 to reach 70 Horde Side on my server. I got his Kharazan Key and so forth - and hit a snag, a bit like tobold. The guild i had joined was already established as a good raiding guild pre-tbc. It was fairly well led with a good underlying network of friends and such - I slotted in okay, filling Healer spots in 5 mans. But, As i say - Like Tobold - The same 10 People were running Khara over and over. After not getting into any Kharazan raids i'd signed up for, I delisted and havnt logged in since I heard my Alliance Raid Community had a shortage on the Healer/Priest side of things.
So, Last Saturday I logged in and respecced shadow. I dinged 70 Yesterday. That's twice ive dinged 70 in Blades Edge Mounains. And as for my priest - I think thats where i'll be staying for a while.
As for Questing, BC has many parallels with one or two quest chain differences from faction to faction. Blades Edge of course, has pretty much the parallel of the Horde Quests. The Horde Q's being "go kill fey drakes" and such, and the Alliance being "go kill dire wolves" - rinse and repeat.
I think i could probably do it once, twice, or thrice more. But thats about it. But thats ALOT of content.
Sooo, Look through the blog, look me up, heck even stalk me in game. Upto you!
Moving away from WoW for a second, I think you know what im going to mention.
C&C 3 - Demo. 1 Word - Awesome.
Now people are like "graphics lawl" - and whilst im disappointed with the whole building collapse thing thats about it. One must remember that for a game thats been in development for a good portion of time, The game engine has limits unless they completely redisgned it today, which would make it release even later.. no thanks.
It plays decently, looks decent and seems to be a fairly enjoyable game with decent acting in the cinematics (Gogo Cylons/Sharon/Starship Troopers.. I mean GDI Lieutenant/Commander somethingortheother) - So yeah, some decent actors pulling it off well enough.
Apparently you can play NoD in the Demo too, but im not going to trouble myself too much with that - Its a recommended download if you care what I think.
Anyways, If i dont post again soon - Ive forgotten >_>. In that case post a comment and i get bombarded about it. Hehe.
Good BC'ing! Maybe I'll Mention the armory next time :).
