Anyway I haven't made a real honest to bob WoW update. I've put up a lot of screens on my photobucket/flickr account but as since have left it untouched in favor of completion. Frankly it's not gonna get completed so here goes:
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a bear can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life
OMG first before anything:
The beginning was a powder keg of sorts, if anyone got into a fight it was pretty much all-out. Luckily though while we were gathering nothing too drastic happened.
Ze big door! Time to go inside. After fighting through the trash we ended up here:
BEAAARRRRRRRRR! Frankly this guy isn't too tough at all, if you've got two tanks. It's pretty much necessary since one form does a mangle and the other does a bleed effect.
After beating this guy we got this:
The next guy was definitely fun to do. Running under a randomly ported character while trying not to die seemed really fun. Ugh the birds though, they were a hassle during the fight. Not too tough but just really really annoying during the encounter.
And the lewtz:
That was all we could manage to do. The PTR stability blew lots of chunks and we could barely stay online for 10 minutes at a time. Hopefully when 2.3 goes live next week I'll make a true and completed update on ZA. For now though I can say I really enjoy it so far. I love how the eagle god looks like something out of Mayan hieroglyphs.
The Hallow's End came and went pretty much. It was great doing raids in different costumes and pumpkinheads, the most popular of which was the leper gnome/pumpkinhead combo (why am I not surprised?). Personally though, I prefer the pirate costume:
I did manage to grab a very snazzy broom:
I even got a swift flying one but I won't bother with using it until later. Probably the summer.
Someone (I can't remember whom) wanted a screenshot with Maiev a little more prominent. Shadow Prison is an excellent way to take a breather before the last phase and to snap some screens:
You know, back in August if you had told me I would ever get this far I'd have laughed in your face. By then I was completely demoralized and dismal about the fracture of my guild and eventual departure of my home server. I came to Azshara knowing only few few people, and with nothing to lose. By a fantastic (almost unbelievable) turn of events I came to be a regular raider with my guild. First and foremost I must thank
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
gigogoomba (Setsuko) for offering really really really worldly advice (even now!) and the reason I came to Azshara. Without her I probably wouldn't have made the jump at all. There's plenty of things to be grateful to you for also, but that is another story to tell. There's another person who I owe a multitude of thanks to. Thanks for taking a chance on me even though I probably didn't seem to qualify. Honestly I didn't think you would but I had nothing more to lose and on the verge of quitting. I know I've been really hard on myself but that is because I don't ever want you to regret your choice in taking that chance. I try to make good on it every time I log on to raid. There's also a gazillion things that I am thankful for but as I said, that is another story to tell. You know who you are.
With that said, and with our extreme luck in only starting to farm Illidan, I was sure that that luck would soon run out. I really didn't expect to get this so soon, expecting to wait months for it actually (without complaint), but our luck didn't quite run out:
So thank you.
Thank you.
Against my better judgment (yes duh, I did enchant it), I started the Netherwing daily quests. I managed to finally get past Neutral and into Friendly. Already my favorite quest is the Booterang one. No surprise there, right? On my way to gather the material needed for my very own personal Booterang, I came across the southern portion of the Stormspire:
If this guy was for a quest, then I never did it:
My frienz, comrades etc. etc.:
Omg it's Noellee!:
IT'S ELECTRIC!
That's it! Ahhhhhhghgghhghgh I'm spent. Until next time.

The two in the mines
The crystal one
The one in nagrand
Other than those quests and turning in random eggs I find while doing the mines quest I don't bother.
I'm kind of in the state of mind that I had better finish up netherwing rep before we x-fer though. I can only imagine how much of a pain it will be on a high pop server like Mal'Ganis.
Oh, and btw, congrats again on the Warglaive. You certainly deserve it and I hope your mainhand drops sooner rather than later.
So nice seeing you in game. Going to be real sad when you're gone =\
