More News from the Other Side

Since life outside the game has compromised my raid availability the past few weeks, I’ve been doing most of my Huntering on my low level Orc. I gotta tell you though… 40-49 BGs are a refreshing change from the end game grind. I’m also really starting to enjoy this whole PvP server atmosphere.

Once I finished up my level 10 pet taming quest chain, it was off to Mulgore to find the walking and squawking lawn ornament who resides there. Once I got to the area where he patrols, I ran back and forth across Mulgore trying to put a bead on him. I didn’t bother with a target macro because as you can see, he’s pretty easy to spot.

As I’d mentioned last week, I finally decided to roll a Horde character after 3.5 years plus of solely representing the Alliance. My motives for doing this were many, but the main reason is because I wanted to …
