**Drumroll** Introducing ....

"Titchnfthrs" (with thanks to those in the shoutbox for help renaming her).

Yesterday Titch "came of age", well .... she hit 40 and learnt how to change into a moonkin!

The change was immediately obvious, and not just 'cos of the rather tubby feathery rear that had replaced my slim nightelf, but the increase in armour and crit chance were very noticeable. Must say, after my mage it's really nice to play a magic user who can actually get hit instead...

To moonkin or not to moonkin

Posted 07-28-2008 at 02:43 AM by Shorty
that is the question ...

So... Shorty's rep grind is going well, he maxed out Argent Dawn this weekend (I'm not going into Scholo again for a very very long time). He's basically halfway to exalted with Timbermaw and the frostsaber trainer people in Winterspring and then it's only some more hand-ins of runecloth for exodar and a couple of KoT runs to complete all the reputations he can feasibly complete.

Goodbye to the green plague

Non-raiding goals, pre WotLK

Posted 07-10-2008 at 02:55 AM by Shorty
So with WotLK information starting to be released and raiding going through the usual trials and tribulations related to being a pretty casual guild in the summer months plus my work hours which mean I only raid twice a week or so, I've set myself some goals to complete on non-raiding nights.

1. I've (pretty much) decided against leveling up any more alts. My druid is still stuck at lvl 39 (and has been for well over a year and a half), my priest is in her 20's (also for just about...
