I am now the proud owner of a Blue Skeletal Horse, that I did not earn at all. I feel weird in saying that, but last night I was beginning my farming runs when I got a message from a friend. They asked how far away I was from my mount and when I told them they said there would be a message in game coming shortly. I didn’t ask them for it and they were very specific in saying that it was a gift and not a loan, but I still feel fairly indebted. I am not sure if I can fully express how grateful I am that I can stop trying to get to a specific amount of gold, because for me at least that is very much not my focus in an MMORPG.
I plan on paying it back, but I think probably the best way for me to do this is to finish the leveling process and be geared and ready for when they need something in the future. I want to be a functional dungeon and raid tank, and now I also very much feel “unstuck” because I would have avoided doing anything until I managed to get the amount of gold needed to get off high center and move on with my life. The biggest challenge now however is that while I have been all over the world in my quest for a farm spot, I have spent zero time actually focused on doing any of the content.
For now I think my main focus will be on the Badlands and completing a bunch of the quests there that will eventually lead their way into Uldaman, which I believe is the next real target for our dungeoning aggression. There are a few quests that start out in the zone, and one in particular that is a chain that comes drop a dropped item. So my focus tonight is probably going to be on tracking that down and doing whatever quests I can come across along the way. The parking brake is being lowered and I am going back into leveling mode again.
I did spend a little bit of time last night on Belgrave my Hunter as well. I am not usually big on playing female characters, but generally speaking if I am going to play an Orc or a Troll I am going to play the ones that aren’t hunched over. The real truth is that I wish both factions could play together. The current events happening in game are teasing that maybe just maybe this could be a thing. I would be all too happy to be running around on a Human or a Dwarf with my Orc or Undead friends. In the meantime however I am enjoying the process of seeing the game through Horde eyes, because really I did not see much of this side of the world back in vanilla. I think the highest characters I had back then were in the mid twenties.
