How it feel? I'm askin' cuz I gotta wonder...
Na na na na na...
getting your ass kicked by a girl...

More events?

2009-06-25T11:40:00.004+01:00

Seems like more events are likely to be added soon, a US centered one : Thanksgiving.

As we have so many EU centered one (Midsummer, Brewfest) a US one seems pretty obvious to add. I really dont mind, as long as I get pets or cookingrecipes!

Pirates day and Day of the dead seems to have one achievement each so far so Im highly doubting that they will count for the Meta. Darl is poking around on testrealm and I guess Ill do the same soon!

Lonnie

So yeah..

2009-06-24T14:44:00.002+01:00

Summer is upon us here in Denmark and we got 25+ and sun as good as everyday, I've also managed to get a bad case of allergies so I'm even more reluctant to play WoW as im really tired and sleepy most of the time.

Me and darliedarl completed the Midsummer achievements on the first day and are now anxiously looking forward to Brewfest where we will get our Purple Proto. I'm stuck on 89/100 mounts for the achievement cause i really havent been bothered, but after brewfest I'm intending to try to go for it again, til then I will enjoy the summer and play when it rains or when I'm bored I guess.

I want my rogue to get to 80 aswell but yeah.. All this achieveing takes so much time, but I love it so I dont really mind!

Much love,

Lonnie

New patch, new mounts..

2009-05-20T14:21:00.004+01:00

Sup guys!

Anyways, new minor patch released today with some fun new additions. Number one for me is probably the new Argent Tournament mounts. As I'm going for the 100 mount ach theyre a huge addition to the collection. After buying 4 of the 5 mounts for 5 Marks and 400g each I'm now on 86/100 mounts. I'll be on 87/100 mounts later today when we have wintergrasp (Got my last Stone keepers shards today!).

What else what else? I went to finish my fishing daily in Wintergrasp and to my surprise a little strand crawler showed up in my rewardbag!

Now, i just need that turtle mount for 75/75 professions-achievements complete!

Twilight Vanquisher Ilona!

2009-05-18T19:47:00.003+01:00

So! Yesterday I finally got the Twilight Vanquisher title. The others have no issue with the fight but as I havent done it so many times as I wouldve wanted to, I felt it was alot to handle at the same time! With that said, died on voidzone in first try (Didnt even remember that there were voidzones, haha) i managed to survive the entire fight when we got him down. It's quite a .. full-speed fight, always something to look out for. Nevertheless, I finally got it!

Not that I'll actually.. Use it. Another title into the pile, think i got around 26 now, but more about that later!

The ones i would love to have the most, is probably the ZG mounts.. Mmm, especially the raptor!

Lonnie out!

Halaa - The battle of the talbuks

2009-05-13T12:11:00.004+01:00

So.. One of my main goals when it comes to the achievements are getting the 100 mounts. I'm currently on 80 with 2 more incoming. Yesterday me, Darlene, Coldheaven and Zerics went to Halaa in Nagrand to gather 170 battle tokens. It's really dead out there, so hey, I had to ensure that some horde would come. It was a battle of life and death, we struggled for 4 hours in the hardest battle I've ever participated in... AND THEN! Then.. we were done. 4 hours, 3 hordes that volunteered their time against some company on vent.. and the fearless foursome that I now call my crew of friends.

Anyways, I will need to gather around 335 more Oshu'gun powders to be able to buy both of the Halaa PvP talbuks, but after that I'm completely done with those and can move on to something equally exciting, such as grinding Baron mount(Yey?).

Anyways, off to do my dailies. Day off today!

Lonnie

Oh and...

2009-05-12T14:39:00.001+01:00

I'm reworking the layout, so if it looks abit weird Its just cause I havent fixed it yet. Gonna make some new icons for my characters as the ones i got now fits a black background.

Lonniecakes

Guess who's back..

2009-05-12T14:14:00.004+01:00

..back again. Lonnie's back, tell a friend.

Anyways, I've been asked to take up the blogging again by a couple of people and I thought I would give it a shot. So for now I'm back in business. I write this blog as an extension to what I do in WoW, this is not mmo-champion. If i find something on different sites I will post it though, but if you're reading this, dont expect anything but what I love doing in WoW with my friends.

So what's happened lately? I've switched guild to Brotherhood of the Wolf where I have a backup raider rank. I've been in Ulduar a couple of times for some Vezax tries but I never got to see him go down (Ofcourse when I'm not around they get him down, always my luck, sigh!).

Other then that I've been doing Argent Tournament dailies when I've had the will (They get really monotone really quick, same dailies over and over (And there's so damn many of them). Currently got 3 exalted factions there (IF, SW, Darna, going for Exodar now).

Got alot of catching up to do but Ill keep that til later or tomorrow.

/Ilona

Sup gusy?

2009-02-26T18:50:00.004Z

Picture from elsanglin.com

Ive been considering picking up the blogging again but hey, I really dont know. And if i do I will probably continue writing about wow-life on Stormreaver. Lots has happened in the months of my break!

I am soon up in 6000 achievementpoints (Yes, the achievements are my addiction nowadays!), with my current big aims being finishing up glory of the hero and 75 pets (Missing 2, ouch!).

Been poking around alot on the achivementforum and on PTR aswell lately trying to get a grasp of the new Argent tournament, but my character hasnt gotten copied yet so i cant really check it out properly.

Poked around on mmo champion and worldofraids and els anglin and found some new cool designs for bobbers and fishingpoles, and hey. I fell in love with the shiny and pink fishingpole. Whatever it takes, i will try to get it.

Love from Lonnie

Ilona - Where the fuck are you?

2009-01-02T00:29:00.002Z

Gotten alot of questions via mail and ingame whispers of where the hell Ive gone. I still play, just taking it very slow and just enjoying it without posting here every second. Enjoying the RL alot more aswell. All comments that I get are moderated and Ill publish them when I got the time.

Ive reached 80, almost 4k achievementpoints and changed guild to Lorn Daer Ronae where my old greek guildies have gathered the old bunch of people. I raid abit, but not much (All the time goes to achieveing!).

I just wanted to wish everyone still stopping by here a happy new year. If anyone else wants something, just log on to Stormreaver alliance side and send Ilona a whisper.

Lots of love,
Anna

Update - After the storm

2008-11-17T17:31:00.002Z

Ladies, gents. I've been majorly busy lately with life and WoW (Lichking release doesnt really give you room to breath, I've noticed).

Anyways. Lich king released and I started with finishing up Netherstorm and fishing for Mr Pinchy. I managed to get Mr Pinchy after around 10 casts and got him on the second cooldown out of three (The cooldown is 2 days and he has 5 different outcomes).

Netherstorm made me level up to 71 and now I am going for 72 in Borean Tundra.

What else? Instead of going with the rush in Borean i went to Dalaran and completed a VERY annoying achievement that involves fishing up an amazing amount of coins out of the fountain (Yes the very fountain that I detested in beta due to it being no water in it, and ofc i fell down).

Borean is alot more calm now then it was before, so I keep enjoying the content, the surroundings and will continue leveling in this rather slow pace.

Til we meet again.

Guild meeting + random rambling

2008-11-09T15:41:00.003Z

So yesterday I met up with two of my co-officers/leaders of the guild + another one of my dear friends, for a nice movienight and some fun. Watched Iron man and Kung-fu panda and ate a shitload of crisps. Alot of fun and I hope we can get together and do something else sometime!

What else, what else?..

I've been attempting to finish up everything that I want to finish up before WOTLK arrives. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to want to go my way. I'm attempting to fish Mr Pinchy up but with no luck. I'm also trying to finish up Netherstorm aswell as Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor for the Loremaster title, but its taking an amazingly long time.

Ohwell, Guess I'll have to stick through the old world for once, endless grinding is much more pleasant when it has an ending!

/Lonnie, Pinchy-less and loremaster-less.

Lords of Ironhearts goes Black Temple

2008-11-09T15:37:00.002Z

Lords of Ironhearts versus BT

So my dear friend Ferengus showed me a video made by a guy named Richie in his guild, its from their Black Temple runs. I gotta say i really like it and figured it deserved a spot here. I got alot of friends in LoIH and I wish them best of luck with raiding in WOTLK aswell (And hoping for some more of these goodlookin movies).

/Lonnie, Wanna to BT aswell!

Mount Hyjal!

2008-11-08T12:29:00.004Z

Morning and afternoon ladies and gents! My friend Caylie asked me if i wanted to come and do MH with him and some other people and I gladly accepted (Wanted my last rep).

Got first two bosses down and went on to horde side. My internet managed to fail madly (Yet again) and I dced halfway through the packs. Oh well, I guess theres always another time. It was fun nevertheless guys, thanks for the invite and I deeply apologize about the DC.

Also went to AQ40/BWL/MC, was alot of fun but too much drama (Aka probably too much beer in some people). Ohwell, guess the oldskool raids will be put on halt from now on due to WOTLK!

/Lonnie, Still not exalted with Scale of the sands.

WOTLK - Poll!

2008-11-07T15:39:00.003Z

Hey everyone, been a busy last couple of days. The WOTLK preparation I posted was supposed to be in the paper me and Skitty has been working on but unfortunately we wont be able to release it in time so I posted it here instead!

Been lurking the forums as usual and came across this poll about what the players will do first when Lich King gets released. The numbers are quite fun to see, and frankly I wouldve thought more people wouldve gone for leveling to 80!

Check it out here, and cast your vote aswell

Will make another update later on, with what's been going on in WoW lately!

/Lonnie, will level to 80.

WOTLK - Are you prepared?

2008-11-06T13:48:00.004Z

Wrath of the Lich King will be released November 13^th and approaching with rapid speed, I’ve been trying to prepare for WOTLK myself and thought I’d share my little tips and tricks.

Professions

Primary Professions: Now is the time to level up that profession you haven’t bothered with before. Getting to 375 is not necessary but I highly recommend it. If you don’t want to go as high as 375, 350 is the minimum you need to get Grandmaster skill in WOTLK. You will probably not be able to learn many new Formulas and plans etc if you are at 350 skill though. As I said, I highly recommending going straight up to 375 now as the prices are probably lower, and it will give you a great starting point for WOTLK.

Secondary Professions:

I’m certain that a lot of people have been doing it my way when it comes to the Secondary Professions, aka ignoring them. I found myself in major struggle 3 months ago when I realized that I should’ve leveled First Aid, Cooking and Fishing to be able to gain titles such as Salty and Chef when the Achievement system came. Cooking was the biggest struggle, but having the Add-on Ackis recipe-list helped a huge lot. Ackis is currently undergoing maintenance as far as I’m aware of, but there is a working one that contains all Burning crusade and classic recipes for all professions but Inscription.

Summary: Level your professions now for easier access to WOTLK recipes. Download the add-on Ackis Recipe-list to level your professions with ease.

Selling off items:

My bank is filled with all sorts of different items with everything from Un-used pets from Christmas to gems, ores and flowers. In preparation for WOTLK I have started selling off some items of lesser use and I thought I’d give a heads up on what I will sell and what I will keep and sell when WOTLK comes out instead.

We all know that there will be a lot of Deathknights and I’m sure a lot of them will want to power level their professions to be able to focus on levelling instead. I highly suggest saving all pure profession items such as metal bars (For Blacksmiths and JC’s), outland enchanting items, gems and such and sell them when WOTLK has arrived.

When it comes to cloth, there is an ongoing mad rep-grind for the Alliance/Horde forces due to the Achievement for the “Ambassador” title, and I’ve sold off all the Runecloth I had for a great profit. When it comes to the Netherweave I suggest either levelling up First Aid, and if you already have that then you should probably sell that off too as the First Aid will begin with the new cloth from 375 in comparison to last year when you had to level with Runecloth to get Netherweave Bandage.

If you have any rare un-used pets in your banks that you don’t need or want to use then I’d suggest selling that as well. There is a lot of people going for the 50 vanity pets achievements for the Mini-pet Skunk Reward and vanity pets sell for big profit right now due to that. Horde pets sell well on Alliance auction house and vice versa for Alliance pets and Horde auction house so if you have any of those, throw them up as well!

If you have some Badges of Justice that you can’t use on anything, buy some epic gems or Nether Vortexes and put them up on the auction house for profit and riddance of those un-useable Badges.

Summary: Save pure Profession items. Sell off cloth, sell vanity pets and other items of lesser use. Trade Badges of Justice for epic gems or Vortexes and sell them aswell.

Preparing for leveling:

The first step is to decide what class you want to play if you have multiple characters to choose from. I will continue playing my paladin due to their versatility and ability to change into whatever role they want to. Read up on your class-changes, new spells etc on the official forums and other wow-related sites such as Worldofraids.com.

When you’ve done that, it’s a nice idea to clear out your bags the last couple of days to get a fresh start with empty bags. Stock up with 2-3 stacks of bandages and some food/water as well as some mana/health injectors (They stack in bigger piles then potions).

If you are going to level by going instancing with some friends, some repair bots might come in handy too!

As Arena points will get reset when WOTLK goes live I suggest you buy some gear for them now for easier start of your leveling (Unless you already have better gear). Anything helps, and if they’re going to get wiped anyways, why not spend it on something that will give you some aid?

Summary: Stack up on some mana/health injectors, some stacks of bandages and clear out your bags before you venture into Northrend. Buy some arena gear for easier levelling in case those items are better then your current items.

This is slightly long, but I hope someone has managed to read through it and has found some help in their WOTLK preparation!

/Lonnie, is prepared!

The air is changing..

2008-11-04T18:09:00.002Z

The air and Buzz feels different now, almost a week before WOTLK release. Alot of people have given up on Burning crusade progress and is now basically finishing up the achivements they need to, to be able to leave it all behind. Been sneaking around on the forums (as usual) and thought I'd give you two of the highlights :

Jame's WOTLK leveling guide :
Jame is well known in the World of warcraft circuits due to his/her leveling guides, now he/she has released(Or will very shortly atleast) the WOTLK version of this guide.

Check it out here

4/11 - New patch incoming :
3.0.3 will be released tomorrow and some of the highlights(Or lowlights in some cases) of that patch is:
- A mask for all occasions - REMOVED from meta achievement.
- Druid talents refunded.
- Paladins are getting the nerfhammer.
- The levelrequirement to train gatheringskills - REMOVED.

Check the rest of the patchnotes out here

/Lonnie, awaiting patchday paradise for her title.

AQ Scepter Quest-chain, Part 1!

2008-11-03T22:45:00.003Z

So I decided to go for the epic cooking recipe and that involved me doing the scepter chain for the AQ40 opening. I got sent out into the south sea's to an island outside the map. I almost died on my quest to get there but with some healthpots, some healthstone, bubble, lay on hands and constant Holy Shock spam. After walking around there in awe of the pineapple wallpaper, the big oilpump and the random pirates walking around there my friend Coldheaven came along to watch this nice easter-egg by himself.

Found my questitem and after a couple of follow-ups(That involved killing majorly ANNOYING chimaeras that i only got down cause Skitty and Coldheaven came to help me) I finally got my epic cooking recipe! If you havent done it yet, you should do it. The island, the pirates, the pineapples and the piles of questitems in teh south seas is totally worth it!

/Lonnie, epic chef.

Kael'thas and Vashj!

2008-11-02T22:34:00.003Z

My dear friend Pisa (Parma) asked if I was in the mood of coming to Tempest Keep to kill Kael'thas earlier today and as I hadnt done KT before I accepted with joy and brought Coldheaven along to share my OOOH's and AAAH's with!

Went to TK and got Kael'thas down on first attempt and I won the quest-item which gave me a nice Neck (And some rep, cant forget the rep). And I got to hold legendarys! I felt powerful there for a moment! ^-^

Went to Vashj and got her down on first try aswell (With a pug, may I add. Im amazed.) and I won the headpiece that dropped from her. Was a trixy fight but we made it through!

So thanks to Pisa/Parma for poking me along and to Coldheaven for joining me in the madness!

How to annoy city-raiders!

2008-11-02T22:30:00.003Z

Bojax.wmv

Skitty linked me this absolutely hilarious video a while ago, I gotta say, I chuckled like mad after I realized what happened. More destruction to the people, Thunderbluff is now a place to go if you're suicidal!

/Lonnie, not going to Thunderbluff (Without bubble)!

AB night with Cold and Darl!

2008-11-01T18:59:00.005Z

Me, Darlene and Coldheaven (Aka the Paladin crew) has been having a really nice AB night today, still going strong. Completed quite some AB achievements and still working on a few. Frankly I wish I'd be able to track more then 1 achievement at the time. Atleast 2 please, It's getting annoying having to toggle in and out to see the progress of some stuff.

Yesterday we did AQ20/40, MC, BWL and ZG with the same old crew (Scorp, Straf, Darl, Pisa etc). Nothing I really wanted dropped. Managed to get some T1 parts for the oldschool feel but what I really want is a red mount from AQ40 and Tier 2.

Also a mage friend of mine named Azuroz has obtained 2 Tiny Crimson Whelplings in 20 minutes grinding, I'm jealous and considering going back to grinding that one yet again but meh.. It's so boring!

/Lonnie, Disgracin' the Basin

Slacking!

2008-10-29T11:33:00.002Z

I've currently run out of prepaid so well.. I'm taking a slight break!

Thing has happened and I'm not currently in Arisen anymore. A few people has started a new guild called Azure dream and when I'm back I will probably join them in their quest to be a Raidingeventpvp-guild or something along the lines of that.

My time in Arisen has been long and tbh, awesome. We've had alot of great moments together and It's a shame it ended up like this. Sometimes shit happens and moving on is the best thing you can do, so that's what I'm doing! To the Ariseners, all of you, Thanks for the time we had together, I wish you all the best of luck!

Tonight me and the Azure Dream crew will have a nice coffee session here in Stockholm, will be lovely. Might put up some pictures if I manage to find the wire to get the pics into the computer!

/Lonnie, nomnomnom sockerkaka.

Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza!

2008-10-26T19:09:00.002Z

Ladies and Gentlemen. I woke up today with a sudden urge to participate in the STV Fishing extravaganza. My first time so I went to El's anglin to read up some on what I could expect. There was a part about "war" and ganking so I decided to call upon some great PvP'ers and friends of mine to come and guard me and to try to prevent both alliance and horde to fish properly.

Coldheaven, a good friend and guildie of mine arrived first, helping me to scout for new pools and killed every horde in sight. Then Lewb and Zuckinator of the Horde forces arrived to help out killing my fellow alliance players. To that druid, that tried to fish in my pools, I'm sorry mate. I wanted to win and I did, cant have you steal my tastyfish!

Overall, great event (Yes, it was probably more great cause I won but still), and I can with joy say; This is something I'll never do again.

Great thanks to Coldheaven, Darlene, Lewb and Zuckinator. The master plotting on IRC worked like a charm.

/Ilona, Master Angler.

AV - How to enjoy it

2008-10-26T01:25:00.002+01:00

Well its AV weekend right now and I ventured into one alone due to boredom and found myself defending the base. Went into hall of stormpike and found 2 people named Hangedbyme and Mirodia from Stormscale and we chatted abit and transformed eachother into ghosts. Just wanted to give them a big /hug and say that I hope I meet more good people in AV from now on!

/Lonnie, AV master in Ghostform.

Karazhan - New event boss -

2008-10-25T21:26:00.003+01:00

So yeah, as a part of the event and invasion of the Scourge a new boss has spawned in Karazhan. Went with Darlene and Bob and some of Darlene's guildies from the Brotherhood just a while ago (What can it be, 45 mins ago or so?).

Anyways, We killed him after one wipe (Due to confusion about what he actually did) and a Minipet in the form of a bat dropped, aswell as an Axe called Arcanite Ripper. I rolled 98 and won it. Now, there's a secret with this axe.

It has a secret use, if you equip it and right click the icon it will turn you into an Undead playing guitar. Looks awesome! Guess I was amongst one of the server first to get it, so It's still very new!

Awesome, nevertheless!

Now, doing Headless Horseman! Wish me luck, need Hallowed helm and ofcourse I wouldnt say no to the mount either!

/Lonnie, UD rockstar.

300th post!

2008-10-23T19:55:00.002+01:00

Just realized I've made 300 posts so far. Thought I'd celebrate by giving myself a pat on the back and say thanks for all the visitors and comments and emails Ive been getting.

Went on some Oldschool raids tonight, was alot of fun. Got a nice old healingmace from Chtun and some rep from Molten Core.

Hallow's end has gone slightly better then before. We only had one squashling drop in our group so far but I got one out of a Crudely wrapped gift some days ago and Darlene got one out of a Trick or treat bag so we only need 2 more and then the group is set.

Been editing some articles for the Arisen times that should come out shortly, will be a very good issue with alot to read. I will also add my article here when it has been released!

The Zombie events have started and half the server seems to be plotting against eachother, blowing auctioneers and other people up and into fellow Zombies. I've been staying out of it though, as I dont really see the charm in it. There's also been rumours about an additional boss in Karazhan that is supposed to have something to do with the event, and ontop of that there's rumours about a new subzone being added in Deadwind pass. We'll see, but it sounds very interesting!

/Lonnie, not the hallowed yet, but will be if hallowed helm will drop...

50 Mount - Achievement for the Alliance

2008-10-22T17:48:00.005+01:00

So as the people who read here know, I've completed the 50 mount achievement. Alot of people ask how I did it, and while it might sound easy, it has taken alot of grinding and 6 reputations to exalted.

Let's start with the basics.

If you are a Paladin or a Warlock, you have the 2 classmounts.
Stormwind Exalted allows you to buy 7 Mounts (One is exclusively bought at Menethil Harbor).
Ironforge Exalted allows you to buy 6 Mounts.
Gnomeregan Exalted allows you to buy 7 Mounts (Only available to Gnomes and Dwarves).
Exodar Exalted allows you to buy 6 Mounts.
Darnassus Exalted allows you to buy 6 Mounts.

So that is 7 + 6 + 7 + 6 + 6 for Gnomes/Dwarves = 32 (+2 for Warlocks and Paladins).
And 7 + 6 + 6 + 6 for others = 25 (+2 for Warlocks and Paladins).

Kurenai Exalted allows you to buy 8 Talbuks.
Netherwing Exalted allows you to buy 6 Netherdrakes (I only bought 2 of these).
There's 5 PvP mounts (One that is gnome/dwarf only as with the other striders).
There's one Stormpike battle charger.
There was 2 Brewfest rams (I have them both) and 1 Brewfest Kodo.
There's also the Winterspring Saber if you can bother grinding that.

Buying the Cheap flying mounts might be a good idea aswell.

So there's a little heads up atleast. I managed to get my 50 with around 2000g and alot of preparation. If you arent Exalted with the factions you need that might be a good idea to go for.

Also check in on wowwiki's mountpage for some more information, if you are horde or want to know where you can get the mounts from. Its a big project but in the end that Albino Drake is so worth it.

Also, avoid the Cenarion Gryph if you're poor. You can get so many nice mounts for that money!

With love,

Lonnie and Albino Drake

Ding 31!

2008-10-21T22:45:00.005+01:00

Dinged my mage to 31 yesterday, and just before that I went and got her a mount that is exclusively obtained by going to wetlands. A black horse! It's nice and pretty and the run speed comes in handy while leveling (Running through STV is pain without a mount).

I also got a "Poly Penguin" glyph on her now and I have to say, its absolutely gorgeous. I wish there was something equally fun to paladins but I have no idea what that would be really.

Anyways, been doing Headless horseman 7 times a day-ish since the event started. I've seen 3 helms and a shitload of rings, no mount, no pet, no sword, no plate helmet. No nothing. Basically, a shitload of nothing. I need to get Sinister Calling finished, or no Proto-drake for me...

/Lonnie, Calling the sinisters, where are you?

It's been a long time ago(Pre-tbc and t2 anyone) since I saw someone that looked so similar to me that I actually stopped up and took a screenshot of the madness. This time I was on my druid and the other person was a priest I think. Same staff, blue cloak, same-ish hair. HELLO LOOKALIKE!

Other then that I found this Priestly motivational poster while surfing around on the big bad internetz. I thought it was a very suiting one for describing the priesthood to the extent that I just have to put it up here. Enjoy.

Hallow's End

2008-10-19T18:41:00.004+01:00

Hallow's End has started and everyone is up and running throughout half the world to visit buckets for achievements. I've coordinated the buckets with exploration in the last couple of zones I needed to explore and I have currently fully explored Outlands, Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. Still need a couple of buckets in Eastern Kingdoms but I'm gonna do that now to get it over with.

The problem is getting the 20 masks, but frankly. There is NO WAY that I will be able to complete that. So I guess that I wont get my title, unless they decide to remove that one. I've heard all over the forums etc. that they will remove it this upcoming maintenance and I truly hope that will happen.

Working on an article for the Arisen Times, should be done by tonight. I'm looking forward to readin the other ones aswell.

Fishing Raid to Orgrimmar!

2008-10-18T16:24:00.003+01:00

So me and Darlene and Quii went to Orgrimmar last night to get some of the fishing achievements done. After a while 2 hunters randomly joined us, and after that a warlock and 2 guildies of mine came there too. So we grouped up in a raid and fished together for the lulz. Got the "Fishing Diplomat" achievement done but the rarespawn only dropped to one of the hunters, and none to the other of us. But then again, It's MAJORLY rare so I didnt expect any of us to get it tbh.

Also, Hallows End has started. Did Headless Horseman with a 4 man team early this morning (Around 5) and have done half of the achievements already. I truly do hope they will remove the 20 mask one as it seems to be next to impossible.

Will probably do some oldschool raid with Scorpion and the rest of the people, I guess it will be AQ40! Managed to finish Blackwing Lair last night aswell, but didnt win any of the Judgement pieces. Shame, really. As I really consider that set to be the best looking one ingame!

Til I blog again,

/Lonnie, The Hallowed?

Ilonablog- Banner!

2008-10-18T00:28:00.002+01:00

A very nice person called Callysthene made me a new banner. I'm not sure if i should use it or not, or if i should use it as a signature on some forums instead. Just thought I'd show you!

So pretty, and the picture is of Tyrande Whisperwind!

Nyhm - Cant PUG KZ

2008-10-17T23:11:00.002+01:00

Added a song by Nyhm and Summergale on the blog some week ago or so and I found this song made by Nyhm. He has a funny view on WoW, and even though he might pick really random songs such as this one, it's still fun to listen to. This one is about Pugging Karazhan, and its pretty fun lyricwise.

I PUG KZ, you can call me crazy.

/Lonnie, doesnt PUG KZ, but you can call me crazy anyways.

Another oldschool raiding night!

2008-10-17T20:33:00.002+01:00

Doing another raiding night with Scorpion and the gang of usual people that tend to come along for stuff like this. Will probably do BWL later, was quite a while since I was there (Well, I got full Tier 2 so I've been there my fair share, but still. Fun to go back!).

Standing and waiting for someone to douse a rune at Majordomo in MC, attempting to summon someone right now so it should probably be soon!

Also I'm working on a small project considering Stormreaver guilds. We got alot of good and big guilds so I thought I'd do something on the forums for the blog! More bout that later!

Back to Molten Core, Ill see you all later!
/Lonnie, BY FIRE BE PURGED!

Patch - What's new with me?

2008-10-17T11:59:00.003+01:00

So, the Patch came some days ago and I havent written at all. So.. here it goes!

Stormreaver was down basically all day wednesday, not to my surprise though but i frankly feel sorry for the people who take their day off work to check out the new content. Its so well known that the servers rarely work instantly, and especially not Stormreaver with our excellent trackrecord of lagging.

So!

Currenly Lonnie :

- Is Ambassador and Jenkins, titlewise.

- Has obtained Stinker, that you get from getting 50 vanitypets (well, frankly I got 55).

- Has obtained the Albino Drake, that you get from getting 50 mounts (Now got 51).

- Have completed 170 achievements with very little action from my side.

- Managed to finish the Skettis bombing quest in under 2.15 min.

/Lonnie, Ambassador of the Alliance!

Patchday mayhem!

2008-10-15T13:09:00.003+01:00

Sup guys?

Downloaded the rest of the patch, drank my honey milk (Got a sore throat, eww) and then I attempted to log on. Well, the new starting page is nothing new to me, being in beta and all. Nevertheless. It's gorgeous and I love it.

The realms are still down so I'm reading some forums. Wanted to go for a walk but its pouring down outside right now, so I skipped that. So now it's me, my forums and a good book.

I started preparing some more for patch yesterday, gathered up over 50 pets from banks and mail etc, and got some mounts from different vendors. Dont have 50 mounts yet but its on the incoming, the pets on the other hand are safe and sound where they should be so i expect to get my Skunk as soon as i get on.

Enjoy the patch mayhem!

/Lonnie, patchmad.

I AM, THE RET!

2008-10-14T15:40:00.002+01:00

So, I was lurking around on the WoW-europe boards, more precise the Profession forum. And it happened to be so that I stumbled across this lovely attempt of a keylogger. I read it once, I read it twice. I thought "Hmm, this wouldve been awesome with pictures". Then I screenshotted it before it dissapeared!

Enjoy, I am .. the ret.

36-Boxer - PREPARED!

2008-10-13T15:09:00.002+01:00

So Darlene linked me a story about a guy who has 36 WoW- Accounts and enjoys Multiboxing with uhm.. All of them?

I've been writing about the guy who multiboxed himself up to high ratings in Arena before and thought I'd continue the multiboxing obsession. Cause frankly, I found it highly amusing to watch their setups.

Anyways, this guy is named Prepared, he spends 5711 $ a year in subscriptioncosts, he will spend around 1500 $ for 36 copies of WOTLK on release day.

Blizzcon - My favourite highlights

2008-10-13T14:10:00.004+01:00

So I guess alot of people have heard that Blizzcon just ended some days ago (or so) and I realized I havent really written anything about what I think about it.

Watched some of the live stream arena games and some of the Q/A session but got slightly bored and did something else instead. Well, I've read about it now and I thought I'd summarize some of the stuff i consider to be my favourite highlights! It's very brief but meh, I really cant be bothered going through all the class stuff right now. I like general stuff instead of class specific news (At most times, unless it has something really awesome to do with Holy paladins, then I'm all ears!).

Q : We keep hearing about a World of Warcraft movie. Any info you can give us on that?

A : Yes, it is confirmed that they are working on a movie and the script is purported to be "really good" but they cannot go into more detail for business reasons, more to come on this.

Q : Indoor movement is extremely limited, with no mounting or shapeshifting inside. What changes are there going to be for this with Wrath?

A : Blizzard stated that, exclusively here, all ground mounts will NO LONGER dismount in water and will now swim. They didn't elaborate on swim speed or anything but this was met with much cheering and clapping. I guess all those puddles finally taught mounts how to swim.

Q : As it becomes easier to be a hybrid, how do you protect the viability of the "pure" dps classes, such as hunters, rogues and mages?

A : Blizzard states that they going in that as they made hybrid more viable that would hit their utility. Warlocks, hunters, mages and rogues were hardest hit by this since they are designed for DPS so additional utility has been given to them. Bear in mind that these classes are still designed for damage and will always do more damage than a hybrid to some degree. For example, a good rogue should almost always be up near the top of the damage charts.

So there! Some of my favourite highlights amongst the questions, the one about the movie seems promising, aswell as the one with swimming mounts!

/Lonnie, wants swimming kodo!

Code Monkey!

2008-10-13T00:27:00.002+01:00

Another great song by Jonathan Coulton and a great great video! Cute song, and a cute cute video to go with it.

/Lonnie, where's my code-monkey?

Over 20k Visitors since 8th of may!

2008-10-12T17:15:00.002+01:00

I just checked the blog to see that my visiting numbers had skyrocketed to over 20.000 hits since May 8th this year. That's.. Amazing to say the least.

Just wanted to make a post and thank the people who check in from time to time and to those who's whispered me ingame and shown their appreciation.

Love you all.

Stormreaver PvP Event - Today everyone can be like Karvapallo

2008-10-12T16:53:00.006+01:00

Pictures as promised!

The PvP event was a major success when it came to numbers of people who wanted to participate. 7 Alliance raids was up and we gathered up in Lakeshire to start our march against STV -> and then boat to Ratchet were we expected to meet our friends and foes, The Horde.

Well.. We reached Darkshire with ease, gathered up there and went along for STV. Some horde cities were taken over and we then went for Booty Bay. THIS is where the madness began. The boats are known to bug when there's too many people going on them and this time was not an exception. Frankly. Half the raids got stuck on the boat with loadingscreen but laggy and .. clever as I am, i took a portal to Theramore and went on from there to Barrens and then on into Durotar. Again, lag lag lag. World server down, Stormreaver Offline. Next time we'll plan some attacks on different cities or something cause this sure doesnt work as it should!

Was fun nevertheless, thanks to everyone who participated and lead raids!

/Lonnie, pirate world PvP'er..

Nyhm & Summergale - Hard like heroic

2008-10-10T22:12:00.004+01:00

Surfing round on youtube as usual and found Nyhm's warcraft songs and here's Hard Like Heroic by Nyhm and Summergale. Ace ace song. Will put up some more awesome Nyhm songs later when I've gone through them! For some lyrics :

I love

That purple-headed staff because it's Epic

I think your Wii's the one for me

Because I'm swinging from the joystick

Moving to quick, carrot on a stick

Click on my button alchemy

But I got the notion that my Noggenfogger potion

Might give you the bone you need

Else you get small size like those Ally guys

No lies, cause Gnomes don't come equipped

And then we'll cyber like short circuit

Johnny 5 with a Microchip

Without a doubt I'm an epic mount

If you got a lot of Stamina I'll smile

And then Come back once in a while

Don't wanna subscribe just want the Trial

Strand of the Ancients!

2008-10-09T12:38:00.003+01:00

Picture 1. PvP room in Dalaran with all the Battleground Portals.
Picture 2. After entering the Strand of the ancients BG this is where you end up, on a boat taking you inwards towards the shore.
Picture 3. The green gate in Strand of the Ancients.
Picture 4. The Battleground map of Strand of the Ancients.
Picture 5. Me and the "default" mount you get on a premade character. If only it could be for real...

Hey ladies and gents, back with some more Beta stuff. This time I've managed to copy 3 premade 80 characters, a Paladin, a DK and a Hunter. Thinking about if i should copy a Rogue or a Druid as my last of the 4 copies but I'll decide that later.

As the premade paladin is a PvP geared character I decided to check out the new Battleground : The strand of the ancients. The map is posted above and I got to say its pretty much confusing when you enter it for the first time. In the beginning you're at a boat going into shore with the other alliance players. The horde is already on the beach appareantly. It's all about defending gates etc depending on what side you're on. You take turns in defending/attacking and then somehow the score is counted together and the most successful team wins (Or atleast that's what i got out of it). I love the siege weapons, you use them to bomb the other teams gates.

Won the first time and got into a draw with the horde the second time. It gets boring quick so I'm not sure how much i can bother doing it tbh. It's fun if you have a fun team and if the horde know what theyre doing but then again, this is beta. Running around like headless chickens is default!

WoW-Art - Wyndforge

2008-10-08T18:46:00.003+01:00

Firstly of all, all cred to http://www.wyndforge.com/ for these images.

Most people know I've been into wow-art/figures for a long long time. I've linked some wallpapers and artists before that I've really enjoyed the work of. Got these images shown to me earlier and I got to say theyre absolutely breathtaking. My favourite is the three I've put up here.

The way he creates these images is for me very interesting, as I'm somewhat interested in digital art etc. Basically you take a SS of your character and then he remakes that image to what is seen above. For more info click the link and press About.

KODO!

2008-10-07T23:13:00.003+01:00

So! My Lonnie has gotten herself a Kodo! Gotta say, its smaller then expected. But nevertheless, looking really awesome. Brewfest is over, so I'm waiting anxiously til next years event! What might come? Another brewfest souvenire(If not im gonna get sadfaced), and hopefully a new brewfest minipet. What else.. Well, no new mounts please. The Kodo made me sad. Almost impossible to get. Atleast having alts payed off for once!

/Lonnie <3

Back!

2008-10-07T21:01:00.001+01:00

Realized i didnt write a "I'm off, cya guys"-post but here it is. I've been on vacation / birthday getaway. I'm now back-ish and officially a year older!

I'll see you on WoW or on the forums!

Happy Birthday to me! (Well, almost anyways..)

2008-09-28T21:28:00.004+01:00

So I'm turning 21 on Tuesday (WOOO.. Or something!) but as I'm leaving early Tuesday morning I've been having early WoW-celebrations for myself. And.. Amazingly, I got presents!

Gotta say how much I appreciate it even if it's nothing major, seriously guys. You're the best!

Got an awesome epic tabard from the TCG from Skitty! Nice and purple, Thanks honey!

Got a gazillion fiery cores and core leathers for my quest for the Thorium Brotherhood (Amongst others) rep! Also i got some horde only recipes from Darlene! Thank you!

And, I got a Horde Only Black Tabby cat from Elnaira Aka BOB! Thank you so much sweetheart!

I got the best guildies and friends!

And when I had gotten lured to Booty Bay and had gotten that Tabard from Skitty some hordies joined in on my celebration, so a big /hug to Shadefor and Blazak from Arctica!

/Lonniecakes, soon a "big" girl.

Patch / PvP-stuff resetting (Lich King)

2008-09-28T15:07:00.004+01:00

Sup guys? Got visit from my guildie Coldheaven last night so I haven't really been around much, also my prepaid ran out but I'm up and running again. So what's new? What's to look forward to, or be annoyed about? Major rant incoming, so If you cant be bothered reading, just read the first sentence.

- Patch should be incoming very soon. The PTR is up and running and I've heard alot of my guildies who has been trying out things.

And what does the next patch contain then? Well, Achievements should be implemented. And I really look forward to that, to be completely honest. All the Ariseners (And probably half Stormreaver) know I'm very annoying when it comes to grinding, and I can assure you that I've been putting in some major effort lately to get up to the standards I want to be on (Repwise etc).

Also, New talent trees! Very exciting for my main class (Paladin) as we get some amazing trees. I've been looking into Holy and Retri on the Beta and I have to say theyre both really amazing.

What else? Pet/mount tabs and ofcourse the Barbershop, some things that I really look forward too. Not that the female human hair is that exciting (Tbh i think I'm gonna stick with the bun I have) but the Nightelf hair looks really pretty.

- Honor will reset on WOTLK release. It's been a major talk about this lately, people have been talking about if they should stack up on honor now, or later. But the people who have done that will have their dreams majorly smashed into pieces as the Honor will reset. So if you've planned on gathering up some to get a headstart... Dont! Also, Marks of Honor will be reset aswell. So go go go and buy tabards/Stormpike ram etc etc for them!

Anyways, enough ranting!

Battle for Undercity, Kodos.. Wowstudies!

2008-09-26T10:01:00.004+01:00

Morning guys and girls,

Been busy trying to farm that mount with and I quote "Insane passion", but I still dont have it! It dropped yesterday twice under the same run. I congratulate Skitty and Shamatic for their new cool mount. Hope it's my turn soon!

What else? Oh yes, our dear friend and guildie Agii has finished her study about WoW, so if you'd like to help her to fill it out, do so HERE .

Also Benithal posted a link to a video without really knowing what it was about!

WOW_Wrathgate_1024.avi

The video is from a WOTLK quest-line (For the Dragonblight, I think) with this being the end quest called The Battle for Undercity. There's both a horde and alliance version.

---> Horde Wiki about the quest
---> Alliance Wiki about the quest

And if I may add... NOW THAT should be the WOTLK cinematic. Woah, looks amazing!

50 mount achievement!

2008-09-23T19:09:00.004+01:00

Image from wowhead.com

Been doing the BRD boss around 25 times. And so far what has dropped is.

No mounts.
1 remote.
2 Shankers.

Where's the mounts? I really want that Kodo, and if I dont get it I'm going to go absolutely mental! Or maybe not mental... But you know.. I'm going to be.. less.. happy. Or something! Anyways, I really want that mount!

Also! I've been sitting thinking about the 50 mount achievement. In WOTLK there will be an achievement that involves gathering and learning 50 mounts, and after you've done that you'll get an awesome albino dragon(Picture @ the top)!

The achievement has recently been changed, before it was 75 mounts required, now put down to 50. Will be alot easier. Found THIS post at the US wow-forums with a nice handy list of how many mounts you can get and what theyre named. Will be a major help when i try to prepare for WOTLK, and it might come in handy for whoever reads this aswell. It looks very WOAH when you try to count it together but frankly, it's not that hard. I remember the times when people were amazed by people who had two different mounts. New times has come!

/Lonnie

Brewfest Kodo!

2008-09-21T21:24:00.004+01:00

Thank god Blizzard changed their minds about giving Alliance the Brewfest Kodo.

And for those who dont know how to get it : You need a 5 man party, tank + healer as for a normal instance. Then you go to BRD and take portal to the right to the Bar where you one after one can take a daily quest and make the mob engage. He drops some really nice trinkets (That are really similar to the badge trinkets), and can drop a BRD teleporter and a dagger (Or is it a fistweapon? Nah, think its a dagger) which is really good also. Ontop of that he can also drop a Kodo mount and a ram-mount which is just like every other mount.

So have I got the mount yet? Nope. Over 20 kills the past 2 days, and no mount has even dropped. I did get a nice new trinket for my Lonnie though so thats.. Somewhat okay. But I'm getting impatient. Ohwell, something's got to give, eh?

Hope i get it soon atleast!

/Lonnie

WOTLK - Mounts!

2008-09-20T10:17:00.004+01:00

I've been lurking around on some of the WOTLK websites and checked some new mount-skins out and I have to say, there's some awesome mounts to come, from what I've seen atleast. Thought I'd make a post with some of my favourites!

To be able to use Flying mounts in Northrend you'll have to finish the flying mount quest as explained HERE .

Choppers!

Yet again, the engineers get some awesome mount. Should I go engineering instead of Armorsmith on my Lonnie and get some awesome amounts of awesome mounts? Nevertheless, they are awesome.

Bear mounts!

I've always been really fond of the bear mounts, and I really want one of those Amani Bear's. Should i bother trying to get one before WOTLK? I doubt ill bother!

The Warp Stalker Ground mount!

Looks fierce, animalistic and totally awesome.

Mammoth Mounts!

Group carrier ones, looks awesome and totally nice and fluffy! I like the design of these!

Also, in WOTLK there will be a mount achievement. If you obtain 75 mounts (Yes, you heard me right) youll get a Albino Drake in reward! How awesome is that!

Gonna go check the brewfest out.

/Lonnie

Pirates day!

2008-09-19T09:37:00.001+01:00

So, as it is the official Pirate's day today both in WoW and IRL (The "Talk like a pirate day" to be precise), I thought Id have to say GO THERE, get your 12 hour piratesuit! I'll be going there later on today with my First mate's hat and check it out. I doubt its very funny but still, a 12 hour pirate suit buff cant be that bad, eh?

Just wish there would be a pirate pet... But then again, I got enough parrots.

YARR HARR ME HEARTIES'! Shiver me timbers!

Wotlk release - Random goodies

2008-09-18T10:44:00.003+01:00

I'm in Sweden again, so I've been very busy lately (Flying from Belfast -> London - > Stockholm, brrrr).

Anyways, I guess noone has missed that Blizzard has announced the date for WOTLK? If you have missed it, it will be in stores November 13th! This means, I need a job really quickly so I can actually afford buying it (Oh the joy of being unemployed, eh?).

Other then that? The brewfest is coming up soon(According to the WoW-europe calendar atleast)! I'm not really sure if I should get involved as I already have the brewfestrams on all my 3 70s (Yes, i do.. And the Wolpertinger..). If you havent got your Wolpertinger yet, get it!

To be completely honest, I think I'm gonna get tickets for some other goodies, such as the pony keg and the Romance Goggles, but we'll see I guess!

If you dont know how to get the Wolpertinger, click HERE !

And if you are unsure about what the Brewfest is, click HERE !

Naxxramas - I HAVE CLEARED IT!

2008-09-13T23:40:00.004+01:00

Tonight was interesting, I have finally seen the full instance of Naxxramas. And I have to say, It was absolutely AMAZING. I have seen Naxx before. Some of the first bosses of each wing, that was PRE-tbc though so, quite a while ago. I've waited to be able to finally be able to see the full Naxx, and it was so worth it. Organized by Scorpion (As usual), and with a lot of my friends in the raid such as Darlene, Pisa, Elnaira etc. I actually won a libram that was better then the one i currently had equipped and I thank Wormy for passing it for me.

All wings cleared, Sapphiron and Kel'thuzad down. Cant wait going Naxx when the expansion releases. Looking forward to re-seeing the bosses yet again.

(And the argent dawn repuation i got with it was lovely too!).

MC - Lonnie goes Oldskool raidingnight

2008-09-12T22:09:00.002+01:00

So I got invited to tag along to a oldskool raid going MC and ZG today, lead by Scorpion. Currently I've managed to DC from WoW , but we were just standing waiting anyways. Managed to get logged on and he was already dead, moving quick!

Now we're standing at Ragnaros waiting for everyone to arrive. And after that I'm assuming we're off for ZG where I will get my last rep to ding exalted.

Need around 17k for Hydraxian waterlords Exalted so.

Ragnaros died, some Nemesis and Priest legs dropped and now we're off for ZG.

/Lonnie, repmadness continues

2008-09-12T12:54:00.002+01:00

Woke up early today, around 09. Sun was shining, nice weather. Went for a walk, and now I got bored so I logged onto the beta. Ran around abit more in Stormwind, and when I got closer to the harbour the water in the canals had dissapeared. Looked terribly much like that time when i got stuck in a fountain due to the water not being water. So even though I wouldve wanted to jump in and check, I didnt.

Went on to Northrend for some questing, finished a couple and just scouted around a bit. Found one of the new herbs called Goldclover (Or something similar to that), looks really nice.

Handed in a quest, to (Yet again) compelete my 1500 quests achievement. And ofcourse, the moment that happened, WORLD SERVER IS DOWN.

On to real WoW I guess!
Pic 1. No water in Stormwind.
Pic 2. Just outside the starting area in Northrend.
Pic 3. Me and the new herb, Goldclover (Or alike).

Beta-update

2008-09-11T16:20:00.002+01:00

Source : wotlkwiki.info

Logged onto the beta for a while, finally managed to get all the content downloaded.

First thing i noticed is that my paladin looks absolutely disgusting. I dont know IF she's been looking like that before, but i sincerely doubt it. Her eyes are poking out of her skull and staring straight forward 90% of the time. It looked, to say the least, freaky.

I went to check if the barbershop had finally started to work and to my surprise it had! So i can tell you all, that it will be divine. Now i could finally see all the hair and colour etc with ease instead of having to buy every haircut and step away in order to be able to see it.

I also noticed that there's a TON of new titles such as :
Elder - Finishing all the Lunar festival quests. (Got a guildie named Eldar, so Elder Eldar will sound fun).
Love Fool - Finishing all the Love is in the air quests.
The Hallowed - Finishing all the Hallow's end quests.

Overall, really fun updates! Also, I'd really love that penguin. Been counting together how many vanitypets i got on my Lonnie now and i think im up in 42 or something. So, that's just amazing!

Off for dinner,

/Lonnie

A tad afk..

2008-09-11T13:39:00.004+01:00

So I've been very absent. Some stuff has happened and well, frankly I've had no will to play. The few times I've been on WoW has been to check my mail. Got bored today, went for a walk and now I had nothing to do so I'm playing some AB while im watching Project Runway. We've won around 50% so its not that bad.

What else? Well, as ive been absent from WoW I've also been absent from the beta. I know theyve removed some of the "server first" titles, and frankly its a shame, but also.. A good decision. I know I wouldve been so eager to get the Server first Paladin title : Crusader Ilona. How awesome does taht sound?

Anyways, gonna continue to do some brainless AB and watch more Project Runway.

Til we meet again.

/Lonnie

Grinding Madness has taken me!

2008-09-04T15:28:00.002+01:00

So, what have I been up to the past couple of days?

Havent been that much WoW, and the time I have been playing wow Ive been either idling in IF or grinding Cenarion Circle rep (Yes, you heard me right, the PRE tbc faction, Cenarion Circle). My guildies have been starting to consider my mental health due to all this grinding. Some people call it patience, some call it crazy!

Anyways, I've managed to grind that up to Exalted and now Im setting off for my upcoming grinds and enjoyments. My choices are either

- Grind for an Oozeling!
- Grind Argent Dawn rep!
- Skill up fishing!

Im thinking, fishing. But I could end up doing AB or something for Exalted with League of Arathor, who knows!

Also, my dear guildie and co-officer Skitty has put together an Arisen newspaper, which i love, click HERE to read it!

Back to idling and singing!

/Lonnie

Sporeggar Exalted!

2008-08-29T15:53:00.003+01:00

So I've grinded Sporeggar rep the last couple of days and now I'm finished. Darlene needed last 5% so he joined me this afternoon to get that last reputation. Had already gathered up the Glowcaps you need to be able to buy the Tabard and the Mini Spore-bat.

Here's a picture. And yes, I know we look too much alike. Its almost scary.

Next up? Skyguard in combination with Oldschool Cenarion Circle.

Ohyes, and I dinged 375 cooking yesterday! So now I only got fishing left, til i got all the secondary professions maxed out!
/Lonnie

Cyclone Down!

2008-08-28T12:12:00.002+01:00

It always seems like its either Stormreaver or entire Cyclone that goes down all the time. Today we have a lovely Error Retrieving Character List, that makes all the kids go rampage on the forums wondering if their characters are all gone.

Thank god Stormreaver is the only (Okay, almost..) realm i play on at Cyclone, so it didnt really bother me that much.

So so so, leveled up cooking to 373 yesterday, just need those two last silly points and then thats finished too. Next up on the list is either Sporeggar rep or leveling up Fishing. Probably Sporeggar rep, cause frankly, i want that minipet more then i want to fish!

/Lonnie, off to read more whine at official forums

Some progress..

2008-08-26T15:19:00.003+01:00

So lately I've been doing the major grind for most things. Leveled up First Aid from around skill 50 (Where i left it ages ago) to 375, got exalted with Shattered Sun Offensive and purchased a nice expensive title for a mere 1000 gold (-.-).

Currently I'm working on Cooking. As I dont have a very high skill of fishing and cant be bothered grinding Squids (What is that, anyways) I've found myself abit stuck. Gonna check the auctionhouse later on for Nightfin and Sunscale fishies and then try to level up a bit more. Got loads of meat waiting for me in the mailbox til i get over 300, so that will take me a bit on the way.

See that button up there saying Scan Skills btw? Darlene gave me a tip about an addon named Ackis Recipe List, which basically scans your skills and tells you what you dont have and where to find it. Works with all proffessions, and I love it.

Want it? Go HERE to download it.

/Lonnie

What not to do...

2008-08-24T10:58:00.002+01:00

While drunk :

- Attempt to respecc your Rogue, ending up with both Improved SS and Hemo.
- Attempt to grind Murlocs to level up Cooking, ending up having nightmares about little blue-green creatures that say MRGRLLLLLLLLL!
- Log on WoW, to talk to guildies, ending up dreaming that half of them dies by getting killed by a demon in an abandoned shack in Denmark on newyears-eve.
- Try to sell stuff on the Auction House. A stack of silk cloth for 150g might be abit overkill.
- Go to guildbank just to realize that Bob's gotten hacked earlier today, and there's nothing left.

/Lonnie, in dire need of food

Baby Shark!

2008-08-23T18:49:00.003+01:00

I got a light headache, am majorly sleepy due to lack of sleep and im supposed to go out in what, an hour? Anyways, I've been slacking, as usual. Here's a picture of a Baby shark underwater minipet that Fran linked to me. Due to being a major collector all i can say is NEED!

/Lonnie

PIRATE HAT!

2008-08-21T17:03:00.005+01:00

So the past couple of days I've been driving questers in Stranglethorn Vale completely mental by going rampage and killing 1975 pirates. Why? I wanted the First Mate's Hat. And it finally dropped!

I'd like to say thanks to Coldheaven (who was helping me when it dropped), Scurvy, Darlene and Franriel for their help when I was going completely crazy. Ontop of getting the hat i also got two very rare parrots (Hyacint Macaw), so now my pirate days are over(Til next time i want a hat atleast)!

The grind was painful but totally worth it, gonna go and count together the Silk Cloth and Mageweave Cloth stacks i got now and send some onto the auction house!

/Lonnie, your friendly neighbourhood pirate.

What i hate...

2008-08-21T15:52:00.004+01:00

Saw that one of the writers on Wow-insider had made a list of "10 Things I hate about playing beta". I thought the idea was rather funny, and while i know that alot of people would want my spot id never give it away. Cause even if i hate it, i love it too! Ill try to list some stuff i dislike, to the extent i can!

Without no particular order.

1. 15 minute trade/loot/quest-hand in lag.

While I know that this is beta, and that its expected to have lag, it's starting to go out of hand. World server down and lagspikes holding on for ages is no big deal nowadays, its NORMAL. When the servers are acting lag free, people start to get confused.

2. Fountains.

So the other day I was in Dalaran trying to scout around, checking out the views. And all of a sudden it appeared infront of me. A fountain. A big fountain with water splashing, so i jumped into it, just to realize that there was no water, and I was now stuck on the bottom of this particular fountain. Hearthstone cooldown and unstuck not working made me sit there for 30 minutes while a belf and a nelf also managed to fall in. STOP making big shiny fountains if theyre not working!

3. The Barbershop.

While i love the barbershop I also hate it, for not working properly. But yes, again. It's beta.

4. Inscription.

While this is completely MY fault, WHY OH WHY did i take inscription on the paladin. I dont have herbalism for goodness sake. Now I have a worthless inscription instead of armorsmithing that i couldve tried out (Though i doubt we will have something worth making).

5. Germans.

Wherever I go i see german in every channel. Theyre everywhere! While I have no problem with germans, it's still rather annoying when you think that theyre talking about something you would want to hear (As you find out all the juicy stuff in general in beta).

6. Gnome DK starting hair.

While making my gnome DK i cant choose the pink hair I want, and I know thats easy to solve as you can go to the hairdresser and change it after level 58, but still. Just give it to me, I like pink.

7. Achievements.

Again, I both love and hate these. I turn into a major achievement whore and have already been making a list of what i need to finish in the real wow to be able to get as many achievements finished as possible when WOTLK comes out.

8. Gear.

I dont really have any good gear so exchanging my gear for northrend greens is not really that big a problem for me. I have on the other hand seen other people in gear combinations that has made me lie on the floor laughing so badly. Think someone on wow-insider mentioned pants with polka dots, and thats exactly something along the lines of what ive seen..

9. The guild.

Theyre not with me.

And that's it, I'd guess. Me and Fran has started the Arisen Oscars on the forums where the guild members have to vote for the people of their choice in the different categories. Alot of fun, we'll see who takes home some prices!

/Lonnie

Dalaran - WHOA!

2008-08-20T16:07:00.002+01:00

I've been slacking lately, I know. A couple of days ago my dear guildie Arcanio joined in on the beta-testing and as our first mission we decided to go check Dalaran out. Bear in mind as you watch the pictures, Its far from done. Firstly i skimmed around some forums to see what i could find about actually getting to Dalaran. Found that I had to be 74 to get a quest to be able to enter, so i whispered a mage for a portal, and he kindly agreed to make us one. My first thought was WHOAAAAA! And you have to admit, it looks pretty awesome...

/Lonnie

DK - I've survived, the starting area

2008-08-18T19:50:00.004+01:00

Ladies and gents, murlocs and mechanical squirrels. I have survived the Deathknight starting area. The amount of lag was crazy, but nevertheless i managed to do it in the end. The questlines are alot of fun, and one of my favourite parts is that the surroundings change as you proceed with the quests, moving you forwards in history.

I've been hiding behind nice fake trees, killing people in basements and running around in typical Scarlet Crusade environments. The finishing quest was lovely, and it deserves its own post. I took loads of pictures from that, so they should be up tomorrow.

Also, I love the attitude the questgivers have. They call you a moron, they tell you you are a cold-blooded monster, and its so hilarious.

Currently pondering whether to level my Deathknight up to 68 and then move on to Northrend, or if i should just skip that and level my Paladin/Druid/Rogue instead. Got alot of speccs with those to test. Also, Id like to welcome my dear guildie Arcanio into the beta. Hoping he'll make a little post about mage's in WOTLK for me to re-post here.

/Lonnie

DING 58!

2008-08-18T13:46:00.004+01:00

So I played some more DK yesterday and dinged 58. It took me around 3 hours to do the quests in the DK starting area, that's with server lag and major overpopulation of DK's. Promised some more pictures but I'm absolutely exhausted right now. So It'll come later!

/Lonnie

Barbershop - Some hairstyles

2008-08-17T11:38:00.004+01:00

So as I'm a complete girly girl I've spend a couple of hundreds of gold changing my hairstyles throughout different characters. The Barbershop is currently bugged, so I cannot see what I've chosen before I've payed for it and stepped away. Up there is some of the human female ones i found interesting. I like the idea of being able to change your characters features like that. THOUGH, i do not like that you are able to change your Night-elf's markings, as I've always considered them to be something that belongs to your character. But then again, maybe thats just me.

Also, I've noticed that the nightelf's has gotten somewhat Female Dwarf inspired haircuts, wich for me is a tad strange but then again, I really liked one of them!

Gonna play my DK abit and hopefully upload some more images and some thoughts later on.

/Lonnie

More Deathknight.. DING 56!

2008-08-16T12:19:00.003+01:00

So I've continued on my beta-testing quest, thought I'd do something else then just level my paladin and check out Northrend, so i went back to the Deathknight I abandoned due to serverlag. Less lag today, only a few seconds quest-hand-in lag, in comparison to the 15 minute one we had the other day.

While doing the first couple of quests I notice that its alot more about the lore then actually learning the actual class. I don't mind that though, its easy to just spend 15 minutes on looking at spells and talents and build your opinion from there. With that said, I bet there will be alot of people playing Deathknight cause its cool, with absolutely no knowledge about their class.

So, there's 3 talent-trees. Blood, Frost and Unholy. What does what is for me abit vague right now, but discussing it with Fran we come to some kind of conclusion that Frost is mainly best for tanking, Unholy has minions and Spell dps etc, and Blood is some kind of pure dps tree.

Managed to reach level 56 by going through the introduction quests wich involve becoming a huge LOTR looking eye-bubble, dueling other Death Knights, stealing horses and turning them into your own Deathcharger etc. You get smothered with gifts (Aka, blue items) after basically every quest, and I must say. I love the lore. You get to do quests from Gothik the Harvester, The lich king etc etc.

Can't wait to see what's next.

/Lonnie, The Dk!

DK - The start

2008-08-15T10:37:00.003+01:00

So I've made my gnome DK (With HUGE dissapointment that I cant have pink hair), and started trying to work my way through some quests. Due to serverlag i didnt manage to complete more then the first quest, wich gives you a nice sword and something called Runecrafting, wich makes you able to put runes on your weapon or something along that line. Havent really gotten into it due to quest-hand-in spikes of 15 minutes. I got more annoyed the intrigued, and decided I'd leave it for another day. So that's what I'll do!

Starting area looks very dark and.. Death. So it's very suiting for the class.

/Lonnie

Pet & Mount-tabs

2008-08-14T22:41:00.002+01:00

As the collector I am I've managed to gather up quite some mounts and most importantly: Vanity pets. The main issue has always been the shitloads of bank and bag-space they've taken. In WOTLK there will be a new feature implemented, called the Mount and Pet tab. Basically if you have a mount or a vanity pet in your bag you rightclick it to learn it, and it ends up as a spell in your Mount and Pet-book. If you want to drag one out to your actionbars, its easy. FINALLY I got to free up 32 slots of bank and bagspace that I've had full for ages.

Bring WOTLK on! Ferengus, You'll love this!

Valiance Keep - The Borean Tundra

2008-08-14T13:09:00.002+01:00

Northrend Map

What you'll see when arriving on boat from Stormwind!

Valiance Keep, first stop!

More Scenery.

And finally another version of an inn!

This is the first "quest-hub" for alliance, youll find professiontrainers etc here. I really like this place, as It's abit different from what Ive usually seen. The Inn is cool, feels more inn-like then previous inn's. And the trainers are abit trixy to find, but theyre definitely there! The quests are okay, but as we are so many people playing beta right now I tend to find myself waiting for respawns or for someone to finish up before me. Gets abit tireing.

Just handed in a quest and completed my 1500th quest by doing that, making me unlock an achievement!

/Lonnie

Stormwind Harbour

2008-08-14T11:46:00.003+01:00

WOTLK Info!

2008-08-13T18:11:00.002+01:00

Ladies, gents, gnomes and Moo-Moo's.

After some frenetic surfing I've found a blue post on wow-europe saying that the WOTLK beta NDA (Non disclosure agreement) has been lifted and I'm free to talk about whatever about the beta I want!

Started out by copying my characters onto beta account and downloaded the content, decided to log onto my paladin first. On request of Coldheaven I am currently specced retri after a while's confusion over talents (Thanks for the help Cold).

First of all I started out by learning all my mounts that I had in my bags, second of all I went to shattrath bank (Was in skettis when i logged in), to learn more mounts and more vanitypets (Ferengus, you'll love the pet and mount tab, im sure!).

Had 90 achievements completed when I logged on (Not bad!), and managed to get a couple of more within minutes just by learning pets etc. I still havent really figured out where to go to redeem my achievement points for stuff, but time will come!

After that I went to Stormwind to try to find the Barbershop (Wich unfortunately is bugged right now), and found it behind the auctionhouse. Got myself a haircut without seeing what i chose (But it ended up looking pretty good!), and unlocked another achievement.

Next I looked at the map and ran over to Stormwind harbor (Pictures to come, I promise, not on that computer right now), wich is HUGE. Could hardly find what boat i was supposed to take to get to Northrend but I followed the constant stream of people and ended up in Borean Tundra where I learned new blacksmithing and mining, and picked up some quests.

To come : Pictures of Stormwind harbour, Review on Retribution specc.

Mini-Tyrael

2008-08-12T10:53:00.003+01:00

As I was trying to PUG Magtheridon(Not again... it never works out) a couple of days ago (Was it Sunday?) this gnome with pet caught my eye. I've seen it on Warcraftpets but have only caught one person on the realm with it before this guy. If you/dance with him, he will /dance back. Wich is what I've just done in this very random picture.

Other then that? Want some updates? As it's been said, I've gotten a beta-key. Currently I'm not sure what I can write and cannot write due to it being just that, a beta.

Let's just say this. It's awesome, the hour of testing i managed to squeeze in yesterday showed a completely different side of WoW then I've seen, It's bigger, more open, and with better Graphics.

Sounds good? Gonna do some research bout what I can actually say and then I'll take it from there!

/Lonnie, off for testing

BETA KEY!

2008-08-11T14:41:00.001+01:00

I HAS IT!

/Lonnie

Keymaster?

2008-08-10T14:40:00.003+01:00

So as I'm getting my informationz here I just realized that there's gonna be a keymaster achievement, obtaining a certain set of keys. And i have all... but one!

Obviously I'm gonna have to add that list to my "to do" list that i so randomly posted in the previous entry.

Whats up with the collection addiction you might say? I love collecting stuff. Why? Cause everyone cant collect everything, and it show's that you have put in a huge effort (When it comes to grinding hours of some things) or a lot of money (When it comes to other things). I get alot of help on my quests to have shitloads of minipets, titles, mounts, keys, So I guess I'm one of the lucky few that have absolutely no problem in getting it done, wich is rather nice.

Got the Dark Whelpling and the Azure Whelpling as presents from Fran, and as they are super rare, it makes an AWESOME addition to my collection. Thanks!

/Lonnie

Toothy is.. MINE!

2008-08-07T13:36:00.003+01:00

Ahhh, finally I got one of those cute little baby crocolisks. On my druid though, but nevertheless, I got it! Toothy is his name, and here's a little picture to show his cuteness. Cute, huh? Thanks Fran for helping me with it!

And here: A picture from my adventures as i did all the draenei lowlevel quests, angelic through and through!

/Lonnie, and toothy!

Exalted with major cities?

2008-08-05T17:49:00.003+01:00

So as I've just recently dinged Exalted on all the major cities with my alt rogue I figured it was time to start with the paladin too. Currently got exalted with Ironforge and Stormwind, and working on Exodar by doing lowlevel quests (and hoping Ill get Exalted before I run out of quests, Runecloth is so expensive nowadays).

Also, I've just updated my profile on Warcraftpets, as I have gotten a few new ones lately.

Click HERE to check it out.

Other then that? Currently gonna go do my first fishing daily, and hope for the best. I really want one of those cute little baby crocolisks to add to the collection.

Altoholics - Addicted, or just indecisive?

2008-08-03T16:05:00.003+01:00

So I read a post about altoholics on the -World of Warcraft Blogger- and thought I'd give my view on it. As most people in the guild knows, I'm very fond of leveling up new characters. I'm actually somewhat surprised that I've gotten 3 to 70, as I tend to leave them hanging once in a while cause I got sick of them and wanted to play another one. Currently I have one of each class on my realm-list.

70 Paladin
70 Druid
70 Rogue
31 Warrior
26 Mage
12 Warlock
7 Hunter
10 Shaman
29 Priest

So what's the deal with all the alts? Well, are you in the same mood every single day? Apathetic and boring? I fancy some change, thats why. One day you feel like mending your friends with flashheals. One day you fancy ripping people into shreds with a huge fistweapon and stun them while they quickly die. One day you want to be totally magical and cast portals, rip your body into shreds and relocate in another city. I'm very indecisive as a person, when It comes to WoW. I love leveling up, I love finding new guides and try them. I love getting closer to 70, getting new skills, trying them out. Every class comes with a new "role" and a new state of mind during the gameplay, and I guess I just want to explore that more.

So what's the downside? Well, obviously you tend to confuse people, logging on and off like a mad maniac. Also, It takes a lot of time, caring for all those alts (Thank god they dont need daily feeding or something). Instead of improving one character to the top, you have several "kinda good". I have titles and vanity pets and mounts and special fun items spread all through my characters, when I couldve gathered them at a single one.

I've ranted enough I guess, was just an interesting topic and I was abit bored and tired, and thats when i rant the best, and make most sense.

/Ilona, off to /roll about what to play

Kurenai Exalted - New Gear!

2008-08-02T02:50:00.003+01:00

So me, Franriel and Coldheaven decided to grind Kurenai Exalted rep for the Talbuk mounts(I want them all, really). As I had quite a headstart, I got Exalted after a couple of hours grinding of Ogres in the Southwind cleft.

We decided to go for a fun-run to Karazhan, I joined in on my druid but got bored and logged to Ilona to realize that I only needed 5 more badges for the Badge healing mace. So I went to pick it up and got it enchanted by Liskodruid quite instantly(He also enchanted by new bracers, much needed), really gave me a major upgrade.

A shoutout to Legal for the kind words, always appreciated.

/Lonnie, running out of bagspace for all the mounts

Raid to Orgrimmar

2008-08-01T15:01:00.002+01:00

So horde decided to make a try on attacking Stormwind and got Bolvar down to around what.. 50%? Somehow they managed to wipe though, and we decided to go for a counter attack to TB, where we managed to get Cairne Bloodhoof down!

Someone has recorded it i think, so it should come up on youtube sometime soon I guess.

Caylie, Kush, The Bucket and The ravenlord

Caylie lost her bucket. Kush lost the roll for the Raven Lord, so rumours go that Kush stole the bucket. Oh and Caylie named the Raven Lord Bob. Just so you know..
