Dawn of a new blog.

Well it took me a bit to decide to what to put here. I thought maybe something cute or witty would pop into my head but alas, nothing comes to mind. What I can tell you is the basics, I play WoW what you may not know is that I have cerebral palsy which limits my ability to control the keys on my keyboard as readily. I'm also visually impaired which makes seeing the game difficult when it decides to rain or snow or whatever. I'm also cheaky as hell so take what I say with a big joking grin because that is how I'm meaning it. Sarcasm runs deep in my family and I just wouldn't be me if I couldn't make fun of some things in game.

I'm also not that good with strategy guides. Usually they confuse me. They are never set up how I would want them to be and they never have information where I expect it to be.

In spite of all this I have several characters on WoW. My main is a level 44 tauren hunter on Moon Guard. I wish I could say I kick ass on her but to be honest there are so many damn buttons and abilities I usually end up totally confused. Most WoW speak loses me. It took me forever to remember that DPS meant damage per second and that it mattered in the game. You get someone talking about Crits, DPS and DOTs and you have me going "Huh???"

Oh yeah, I get lost too. Totally and completely. Until I had cartographer I could get lost completely without even trying. Now I have a handy arrow that leads me where I need to and it obscures my vision too! Mobs can't see the arrow all they know is you look killable. Me? I'm the moron trying to kill the mob and disable the arrow at the same time. If you saw a dead mage in Dustwallow Marsh it was probably me on one of my alts.

You see, I have tried nearly every class. I've got a mage, warlock, and paladin I also play regularly because I'm looking for that perfect class where everything will click for me. I don't know if I've found it yet but I'm having fun.

Speaking of fun, the new patch is full of awsomeness and win. No longer do I have to run from things only to be dragged down to a miserable death. Now I can run in style with my hawkstrider or kodo depending on the toon. No more having to deal with grey mobs whose sole purpose is to get in your way (Though they are great for raising weapon and profession skills so don't totally discount them). Have I skipped potential mobs while following my little arrow of doom? Not really. The ones that can get me XP, can usually knock me off my mount with one hit, thus forcing me to kill them to get to where I need to.

I'm also on an RP server. This means I get to have fun rollplaying my characters, which I do quite often. My toons are laid back and calm most of the time. I refuse to play a "spotlight whore" as some people call them. You know, the ones who claim they beat up, and stole lunch money from Arthas when he was a kid, thus making him the bad ass Litch King everyone fears today? If you're on an RP server people like this are part of the territory just like murlocks. They gurgle and wave their arms and demand attention. My view on this is simple. Yes you have the right to RP, everyone does, but no one made you RP an asshole. No one makes you pick on other players or piss in the ocean where they are swimming. We all pay to play and if you want to play an ass then expect to lead a lonely life because people will leave you standing there looking stupid while they go kill Argul for shits and giggles.

/ignore is the best command for ignoring asshats in the game. Use it as needed. It makes life peaceful.

Best advice is to have fun and ignore the jerks. Life is too short to worry about in game drama.
