Crazy week

It’s funny, all these days have been crazy for me, there’s too much stuff to do at work (I’m a graphic designer in an Apple Authorized Retail store, I’m the one in charge of doing basically all the designs of promos and things like that for the store, and I’m the only one in that position, lol), there’s a lot of stress and funny things that happen at work (why would I knock the door to get out of my office?).

Anyway, lets get back to World of Warcraft… heheh

Oh, I’m now applying to Silent Requiem, one of the oldest guilds in Mal’Ganis. Ahh, and I’m going to Colombia soon! ^_^ (more details later)

By the way, any opinion about the new template I’m using? If that’s so I would probably modify it to make it more WoW-ish.

One little two little three little indians…

Here I am, standing in the fountain in front of Stormwind’s Bank, bored as it has been happening lately. For some reason these days are happening very slow, and to tell the truth I’m getting crazy wanting to raid (raid raid raid raid T_T). Oh well, I’m going to post a couple of interesting things I’ve seen around :)

We have reduced the cooldown period for characters that have already undergone a paid character transfer from six months to one month. This will allow players who have already transferred their characters to then move to a different realm after one month if they so choose, to meet up with friends, or just join a different realm community. If you have transferred your character already and are past the one month mark you can now transfer it again if you choose to do so through the Account Management page.

That can be found here, it was posted by Drysc in US-WoW Official Forums. Hmm, about The Burning Crusade, it’s funny how people is creating rumors about things that haven’t been announced yet. For example, I was checking digg.com and I was itchy when I saw this

Chalk up another delay to Blizzard. Two years for a basic content expansion isn’t enough. The best part of this will be seeing what Sigil does when they have to release in Q1 with the World of Warcraft expansion.

When I read the article (which is this one) the dude that wrote it even says it’s a rumor (it made me lol in real life). Now, the guy that posted it in digg.com makes it seem as if Blizzard actually said it. It could be possible, who knows, but so far it’s “expected” to get The Burning Crusade before Christmas, it can be delayed, it can’t, but Blizzard has never really said an official date (not very sure about this, tho). Some people “say” that Blizzard gave clues about the launch on South Park’s World of Warcraft Episode (Make Love, Not Warcraft). By the way, for those that haven’t seen it, there’s a blog that has the full chapter and mirrors ^_^

Talking about The Burning Crusade, on my very own personal opinion, I think that druids are going to rule, mainly because the Flight Form ^_^ Going into talents, this might be what I would pick up (keep in mind that they are constantly changing those things).

HealBot (4/0/57)
Feral (0/43/18)

Keep in mind that I’ve barely been feral so I don’t really have experience on it. I would mainly go for a HealBot spec, but if I had to be feral, I would end up with something like that.

Did I already say that I’m bored?

This just happened… I got the goblin morph for the Halloween Event and now I can’t exit the Inn.. now, that’s lame. -_-

Update: (102306) The transfer cooldown has been modified, again, from one month to three months.

We had originally announced a reduction in the paid character transfer cooldown from six months to one month. However, based on public feedback and additional internal discussion, we’ve decided to change the cooldown period from one month to three months. We wanted to make this change to address player concerns that a one-month transfer cooldown would make it more likely that players or entire guilds would hop from realm to realm, and possibly result in more gold being transferred between realms as well.

We feel that the three-month timer provides a good balance between having a sufficient buffer between transfers, while still giving more flexibility to players who wish to move characters, as compared to the original six-month cooldown.

Players who transferred characters three months ago or more can now transfer them again through the Account Management page. As always, thanks very much for your feedback!

Gahlok, ebayed, wtf!

Heh, surprising, isn’t it? A couple of days ago we were heading to Naxxramas and someone I know (I’ll keep the guild he is unknown, lol) asked me if I was the real Gahlok, I laughed. I asked him why he said that, and he said something I didn’t really understand (hence my bad english, lol). Anyway, I told him it was me (lol), and told him why would I ebay my character? Heck, when I used to play Lineage, even tho my character didn’t have great items or things like that, I kept my characters (and I quit that game like 3 years ago, lol). I did give all my items and money to a couple of friends, tho. He also said that’s what people were saying in his guild, which I find very amusing.

But, oh well, I guess that people makes up things without even knowing, lol.

[item]Idol of Longevity[/item] — Razuvious
[item]Desecrated Sabatons[/item] — Razuvious

Things have been slowly lately. Congratulations to Tritus for getting the first [item]Idol of Longevity[/item] that drops for us! Does anyone know what is a slack-jawed daffodils?

I was trying to ask Tritus about the [item]Idol of Longevity[/item]: I’ve heard that the bonus doesn’t apply to all Healing Touch’s ranks, and that the bonus on the tooltip would be like in the highest rank. Being realistic, most of the times druids don’t use the highest rank always, it’s usually rank 4 and higher. He said that on rank 4 he gets around 8 mp per cast, and that he really likes it on boss fights since he uses HT a ton, and that’s what I’ve been thinking. Some druids say that the bonus you get off the idol is like nothing, but it’s very good for endurance fights, and also, every bit of extra mana you get is very good. I can’t say anything about the [item]Idol of Rejuvenation[/item], since I don’t have it, lol, but it wouldn’t apply in the same way because they are two different kinds of bonuses, that would apply on different scenes.

Hmm.. what else… my mage Conjurus can now make [item]Mooncloth[/item] (lol), I leveled to 35 just for that. He can also make a nice and nifty [item]Festival Suit[/item], which looks very cool ^_^

Other than that, and as I said… things have been slow lately :( Hopefully it will get brighter. Oh, I’ve also been playing Civilization IV while I’m not raiding, I used to play the previous versions, and somehow I didn’t remember how… slow… things were, lol, at least compared to games like Rise of Nations. Ohh, and just in case… Gahlok has not been ebayed -_-

Edit: My friend Lions (again dude, good luck) just made me remind something!! I’m not sure if I’ve said before that I would love to learn Japanese (I’m chinese, btw, but I don’t speak nor understand the language, for me it’s just spanish and english). I got a ton of Asian Music, lol, (well, I used to have more) from people like BoA, Ayumi, Do as Infinity and Utada Hikaru :P I gotta go find some more, anyone mind recommend more artists?
