Me: It looks like almost no one is playing WoW this weekend.
Alex: Why would we? There's nothing to do.
Me: Good point.
Alex: If 3.1 doesn't hit on Tuesday it's time to start throwing Blizzard employees out windows. One a day until the patch hits.
Me: I wonder if it's in poor taste to mention throwing Blizzard employees out windows in this week's WRUP.
Daniel: Maybe if you use the term "defenestrate" they won't notice! As in "It's time to start defenestrating Blizzard employees."
Me: I wonder if it's in poor taste to use this entire conversation in this week's WRUP...
So what is the team doing this weekend?
- Adam Holisky: Transitioning to a new guild. Not sure which one yet, and I've been lucky enough to get positive hits from the ones I've applied to. All my friends will be staying on the same server and moving to other guilds as well, so that's cool.
- Alex Ziebart: It is done. [Editor's note: we're not sure what he's talking about, either.]
- Chase Christian: After the success on our first Undying run last weekend, we're going for a speed run this week, hoping for a 2-2.5 hour clear of Naxx 10.
- Jennie Lees: Planning a trip that might end up in a move to SF, and wondering how on earth I'll raid if I end up there.
- Matt Low: Screw healing. I'm done. I'm not touching a healing spell again. Forget restorative spells. I'm done with holy spells. I am going on strike from any sort of healing. All heals, unbinded. All bandages, vendored. They're on their own. It'll just be me and my honkin' 2H Great Apocalypse. AHAHAHAHA! I am death. Destroyer of Trolls! Zul'Drak will be leveled and wiped off the face of Northrend when I'm done with it!
- Matt Rossi: Hoping to run a D&D game, I'm trying out 4th edition.

Arcticwolf Apr 11th 2009 10:35AM
Do complete the game! Then wait for Assassins Creed 2 to come out. :P

The ending is great if you knew it was going to be trilogy from the outset. Those of us who knew that loved the game (missions aside) and those who didn't were flipping out until I told them what was up.

Asatherin Apr 11th 2009 9:18AM
Me staying in a hotel all weekend wishing i could play wow.....(sighs)
But I still think the patch is a while away the said when they changed the ptr notes at the end mounted fighting and more so my guess keep waiting(sighs again).

I feel the same as you guys.
About 3 weeks ago I cancelled my game time and stopped playing wow, even though I'd literally got another character to 80 (my third).
Raiding was just no fun any more, it posed no kind of challenge. I'm not a huge fan on pvp since wotlk.
Even though I've played wow for over 3 years now, and done every raid instance, I've done it all as an alliance healer, be it on my paladin or priest.
I've thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the game, and achieved some impressive feats with my guild. Its just that at the moment, there is not enough content, and the thought of sitting through another naxx run sends shivers down my spine.
I don't wish to completely stop playing wow, as it is hugely fun at times.
In fact, while not at work, I've been playing warcraft 3, and going through the campaign, and realised that for some reason I'm a lot more intrested in the lore, and the different units (classes) in WC3 than I am while playing WoW. I wonder why this is, considering its the same lore? Wierd!
Maybe I should just start from fresh, and create a horde character on a random server, and work my way through the levels.

If you like lore so much, try RPing. Its a hell of a lot of fun.

Ive been on a Star Wars high all week and was planning to settle in for a weekend of KoToR 1 up until Vista decided it wasn't going to play ball so its back to Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Grim Apr 11th 2009 9:53AM
Mmm... KoToR. I've been playing a dark-side consular lately, and having a lot of fun 'finding everyone's lack of faith disturbing'. :P

I'm levelling my level 42 Gnome Rogue, and waiting for the last 2% of 3.1 to download, after about a month of on-off downloading.
I'm also trying to think of a new character idea for RP.
That's all.

Roll a female Troll Mage who worship Elune and claims that her family has passed down the truth behind the Troll/Nelf "were we really once the same race" hidden within her family archives and base the entire link on the fact that Trolls, masters of vodoo and shamanism, have no direct indication in their history as to why they can learn the arcane flows of magic. (Nelfs used to be sorcerers)
Antony Apr 11th 2009 9:29AM
You should be greatful... Im in china and we dont even have WLK
Wasuremono Apr 11th 2009 1:03PM
I can't imagine. How are players in china dealing with the eternal burning crusade?
Antony Apr 12th 2009 8:17AM
Cus every other week there is a spoof that WLK will come through... and we are suckers for WOW
Outlier Apr 11th 2009 9:36AM
just got my red proto drake so Ill probably hlp those who helped me get mine get theirs.
Grim Apr 11th 2009 9:49AM
Other than the usual Sunday Naxx run, I'll be taking my shaman alt to Northrend to enjoy Howling Fa-jord for the first time (my main was all about the Tundra :P), and working on some Scholozar, Zul'drak or Icecrown quests to make some gold for 3.1.
And of course, listening to the WoWInsider Show tonight, followed by the Rawrcast show. :)
Got some Doctor Who and Red Dwarf to watch this evening too. Good times.
