WoW post #3: Computer Issues and the Undercity

2/21/17, an hour and a half at home on my desktop. The gods that determine if my computer software works or not struck and struck hard over the weekend, making it impossible for me to play WoW for a whole week which shouldn’t be a huge deal, but I have been craving it pretty constantly since last session. So now that my computer is up and running again, I hopped straight onto WoW, and dove into the slew of quests that I had to catch up on. Today I climbed to level eight (from five), and I had to do a ridiculous amount of running around (which doesn’t give experience points, so it is basically wasted time in WoW). Finally I was able to make it to the Undercity though, which was awesome, because it allowed me to choose several professions in order to benefit and augment my warlock’s needs. I spent a good amount of time working on leveling the tailoring and first aid profession, since I knew that those would come in handy in the later game for money making, being able to pump out lots of product and then using the auctions to sell it at slightly higher rate (but not as much as everyone else). I was able to have more discussions with players during this session, mostly about dumb things, but I did get offered a spot in a guild while exploring the Undercity. It was a level thirty undead warrior who was trying to found her (I assume her. That was the gender of the character) own guild and needed a few more people to sign on. I let her know that my account wouldn’t be used for much longer, but thanked her anyway. It made me wonder if my old guild that I helped found with my old account was still running. If so, there was a lot of loot and gold just sitting in a bank, waiting to be accessed. In respect to class discussion, I have been thinking about how I have been playing WoW and it is interesting because I have been mostly and Achiever (with a little bit of socializer), but I have been dying to get into some Killer aspects of the game. However it is really difficult to do so without being much higher level. It seems that the game may be designed to push the Killers away and keep them from getting to a high level. I remember the game community used to be much more toxic and full of these “Killer” personalities. If Blizzard took this on as a project, it seems to have worked at least in part. I haven’t run into any Killers during my play time. Hopefully in my next session I will be able to reach level ten and choose my specialty for my warlock.
