WoW updates

Since I never update my blog, but I always talk about World of Warcraft, mostly to people who don't care, I thought I'd put my WoW stuff up on my blog!

Tuesday, I transferred my level 70 Holy troll Priest, Meeloo, from the Turalyon server to the Antonidas server. My main reasoning for this is that Turalyon is an east coast server and Antonidas is a west coast server. I live on the west coast and hence there should be more people to play with. This meant I had to abandon my old guild and I feel bad about that. To tell the truth, though, the attendance for that guild was horrible and I just wasn't having any fun with it. I moved to the Antonidas server specifically to transfer to a guild that I found there that raids on my time.

[note: there is a market for a web-based tool to help people find the perfect guild in MMOs. The current method sucks. Basically, I had to scan the Blizzard message boards for guilds that are recruiting and tie that back to the server time (which Blizz doesn't publish, as far as I can tell). Then I had to create a level 1 character to log on to the target server, "cold call" a guild member and start chatting. Painful and slow. Someone with some gumption (and who doesn't play so much WoW) could build a Monster.com for MMO guilds and rank in mad cash from the ad revenue.]

So, the transfer process was completely painless (except for the $25) and fast. I'm now a member of the Forsaken guild. I have run Karazhan two nights in a row. I jumped in right after Attumen on Tuesday night, and we one-shotted Moroes, Maiden and the Opera (little red riding hood). Last night we one-shotted the Curator and the Shade of Aran and did the Chess event (took two tries). This weekend we're planning on doing Gruul's lair on Sunday evening. I am having a ton of fun. The guild is very mellow and the guys seem low-key and really helpful. I'm not fond of the DKP system, but I don't care enough to fight it. I got my 2nd Kara drop last night, and it was a very small upgrade.

That's enough for now. I'm hoping to put up a little post with every evening of play.
