Dear Warcraft Diary (Part Eleven)
The mages hit 56 last night, figuratively inches away from Outland. They are now embarrassingly undergeared and completely broke. Really looking forward to hitting those quests in Outland to get the decent green quest rewards…
For the moment I’m not really sure where they’ll be spending their time. Finished up most of the quests that are worth doing in Un’Goro (the only thing I want to do there now is kill me some Devilsaurs). Thanks to the ever-awesome Daddywarbuck I finished off the Linken quest line and waltzed through the Cauldron quests in the Plaguelands.
Also, with Jhonen imminent, my days left in WoW are certainly numbered.
I should, however, point out that I have now reached my original goal when starting up WoW again last month. I’ve gotten a character past level 55, which will allow me to roll a Death Knight when the expansion comes out (otherwise, I would have had exactly zero reasons to get the expansion). That means there are now a few new goals left for me to really achieve:
- Get the mages to 59/60. I have to do this in order to use the full benefits of my Refer a Friend abilities by autoleveling my gnome warlock.
- Get at least 1 character to 70. I’m not sure who it will be, although I’m leaning toward grinding one of the mages through Outland. Honestly I’m looking forward to playing only one character again!
- Play more with the “casual” group (Juls, Mel, Jess, Jack, and myself). We’ve run a few instances and it’s been great! We could probably level the entire way through the game that way if we wanted (they all get triple XP if we play together). Unfortunately people keep going out of town, and leveling portions of the group will undoubtedly lead to the death of the casual team (I’ve seen it before, as soon as some of the team breaks rank the other guys get left behind and usually won’t catch up!).
- Play a new character! I really want to make a decent tank, but I might just hold off that urge until the Death Knights Cometh. There are also more servers out there for me to hit up (I’d really like to spend some time on a PVP server), so maybe my altoholism will continue to run through my veins.
So that’s where we are! I never thought I’d make it to Outland, but it’s like RIGHT THERE.

I assure you that you will not enjoy a PvP server. They’re just… not fun.
