WRUP: Entrusted with the most dangerous mission edition
by Elizabeth Harper

Matthew Rossi: Spain. 1938. Madrid. The Spanish Civil War is in full swing. President Manuel Azana's Second Spanish Republic is on the brink of defeat. One man... one lonely man... has been entrusted with the most dangerous
mission of them all. I'm not that guy, though. I'm going to level my Horde Shaman.
Uh oh. A dramatic cliffhanger?!
Alex Ziebart: I'm that guy.
A less dramatic cliffhanger, but a cliffhanger nevertheless. We do hope Alex will keep us informed of his progress -- but in the meantime, here's what the rest of the WoW Insider team is up to over the weekend. Not interested in reading about us? That's okay! Why don't you tell us what you're playing this weekend?
Adam Holisky: The one that didn't get away.
Amanda Miller: I've just started a new file for Black and White (original version). I missed it, and felt like playing it. Then on Sunday comes the usual Malygos butt-kicking.
Chase Christian: I'm trying out some different Rogue 2v2 specs on live, here's to hoping my partner is okay with losing a few games in the name of science.
Daniel Whitcomb: I'm still sort of half in the grip of Diablo II, but I think it's time to get serious about grinding to exalted with the Alliance capitals. I'd like to have that done before the Argent Tourney so I can spend all my rewards on Mounts and Pets instead of rep. If that doesn't work out, I may totally start leveling my Shaman or Druid to 80 for heal power, too.
Dan O'Halloran: Three birthday parties, a family dinner and a sockhop. Oh, and probably some Lord of the Rings Online Sunday night.
Elizabeth Harper: Am I raiding tonight? I think I may be raiding tonight... I should probably finish this post and log on before my guildies get wise.
Elizabeth Wachowski: I'm working day shift, but if I play, I'll probably just work on Loremaster and try to run a heroic or two.
Matt Low: I will be satisfying my Imperialist desires by playing Empire: Total War. I might try some Warhammer II as well!
Robin Torres: Having stumbled on an erotic emote that didn't make anatomical sense, I find I can't go back to my RP characters. So, it's back to the Mage. And I've got a playdate with The Spousal Unit: his level 20 Mage and my level 20 Rogue -- as long as we don't end up watching poker on ESPN classic all night.
Michael Sacco: Plowing my Rogue through to 80, damn the torpedoes! I want summa dat phatty Ulduar purp!
That's more Rogues than you could shake a stick at. (Because they'd vanish, shadowstep, and then ambush you from behind -- and trust me, no one wants that.) But tell us, what are you doing in-game this weekend, roguish or otherwise?

Hmm.. Levelling my druid so we don;t have another healer crisis at the next raid.
Malakori Mar 13th 2009 8:57PM
grinding out the last bit of rep with Thunder Bluff so i can be ambassador malakori and then wasting all of my gold on kodos.

Hopefully...
1. Having a party.
2. Raidz!
3. Friends (If time permits ;-P)

so many wow insider correspondents playing other MMORPGs is a bit on and indictment on the ridiculous state of nerf play and all round "stop bloody changing us just for a fooking weeek or 2" customer annoyance....
Ling Mar 13th 2009 9:09PM
Going to *try* and level my priest, if that doesn't work out will probably be playing Bioshock.
Zerokku Mar 13th 2009 9:12PM
Just got my wisdom teeth out this morning, so I'm not sure if I'll be feeling like doing much of anything this weekend >.
Wild Dwarf Mar 13th 2009 9:24PM
Grind for gear before 3.1 as usual.
Jaffarn Mar 13th 2009 9:28PM
One thing i can say is....
Dont level a rogue guys...
No one wants them....
I know from experience D:

That's not true, I'm in groups all the time with my rogue. They're already fun to play, and they're only going to get better.
On the other hand, I do happen play in a loosely organized, relatively unskilled, sporadically operating, often mildly drunk, guild who will take all the manpower they can get because we 25-man wipe like that. Oh yeah you know what I'm talking about.
So, yeah, maybe don't level a rogue.
KilgoreTrout XL Mar 13th 2009 9:30PM
Peggle, Warcraft, & Resident Evil 5 if I can make it to best buy.
Sminus Mar 13th 2009 9:58PM
Finishing up reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes vol. 1 and starting on The Complete Sherlock Holmes vol. 2.
Aubrecia Mar 13th 2009 10:34PM
Loremaster grinding for me, too. It's kind of nice to take a break from Northrend and breathe some fresh vanilla air for the moment.
SeanOr101 Mar 13th 2009 11:58PM
This weekend i'll skill be chucking at what Robin Torres is doing. (made me lol)
Maybe doing some Naxx with my mage on Sat. Canucks Hockey game to watch on Sunday night. : - D
Happy Friday to everyone!

Hmm I don't know. Maybe a few heroic UK runs if I can get a group together for the Staggering Legplates. Drop them for me, please! If that fails, probably finally getting the Explorer title for the last few zones I need to hit and/or doing rep grinds for either Thunder Bluff or Argent Dawn. Basically, spending time in vanilla WoW
Simerguesa Mar 14th 2009 2:13AM
I'll be running heroics and more heroics to upgrade my gear and get enough emblems to level my priest faster. This will be my 5th try at a title and I sure as heck am going to get one.
I'll also be secretly wishing for 3.1 bugs and all. I really want to get back to pvp feral druid =).
Mohrlock Mar 14th 2009 3:13AM
OS10 & OS25... maybe Naxx 25 if can find the time. Finish renovations on the house and possibly re-download Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online & get back to catching demons.
Oh and pretty darn sure I need to get the bottle shop to add the extra bit of "tanked tank" excitement for the raiders. Gotta love mystery boss pulls *laughs*
KiwiRed Mar 14th 2009 3:19AM
Looking at trying my hand at WoW blogging, sorting out my new UI, and leveling fishing (only 158 points to go!). Oh, and probably working on the last level to get my new priest to 80.
Namus Mar 14th 2009 3:45AM
Damn, I'm actually leveling my rogue! heading for Outland this weekend, I hope the DKs are dressed :D
RetPallyJil Mar 14th 2009 8:36AM
Finishing off Oracle and Sons of Hodir rep, then real life stuff out in the sunshine.
dawnseven Mar 14th 2009 10:01AM
Doing a little spring cleaning around the house, and during breaks and at night trying to get my highest alt from 76 to 77 so she can fly again (grrrrrr), and then as far as I can toward 80. It doesn't look like hitting 80 before the patch is going to be a problem, thank heavens.
