Guess what the first thing I saw was upon entering Dragonblight? If you guessed a dragon, you're wrong. I saw a walrus. These walrus were in a state of panic. Dark omens and scary wulvar (which look like man-bear-pigs) have been haunting the residents of Moa'ki Harbor. They are packing up and needing you to clear the way for them. After gathering crabs from their ocean traps, killing sharks in the water and wulvar on land, I am sent to check on the nearby village that was destroyed. Apparently an energy rift had been opened by the Blue Dragonflight (those are the bad dragons) and it either killed or drove insane the tuskarr in the village. After redeeming their souls, you have one last task...you must seek out the sea goddess and get her blessing. As always, things don't go as planned. The sea goddess foresees that Northrend will fall should the walrus run away. Apparently the only thing holding the undead back is the walrus. Upon delivering this message to the leader back in Moa'ki Harbor, they decide to stay and all your time was wasted.
Of course in a land of dragons, there's bound to be a little more trouble. I head north until I reach Stars' Rest. The night elf commander there is worried about the blue dragonflight and the ley lines (which are the energy rifts that flow into the Nexus in Borean Tundra) that are being blown apart. The release of energy from these rifts is causing horrible problems across Northrend. Also the undead and cultists at the Icemist Village to the north are causing the animals to become blighted. I burn the animals to the ground and kill the cultists...blah blah blah end of story. Back to the ley lines, after a while you discover that the blue dragonflight and the ethereals are joining together. This is a major problem as the two forces could destroy Northrend and possibly Azeroth as well. I get sent to kill both ambassadors but I arrive too late. The arrangements have already been made but I still kill them. I then get sent to try to fix the ley lines, which I start to do but it's already been a long day so after the first one, I call it quits...
So yesterday I ran into a bugged quest in WoW where the quest event wouldn't start. I went ahead and petitioned a GM about it to see if they could reset the event. After waiting 2 hours, a GM finally spoke to me and, as expected, asked if I was using any addons. Because I'm a truthful person, I told him the addons I was using and told me to rename my addon and wtf folder...blah blah blah. As I'm sure that wouldn't work, I described to him how the quest was bugged for everyone in my entire party and how a simple google search showed that this quest has a tendency to get bugged and require a GM reset. Surprisingly enough, the GM broke from his scripted responses and started going on and on about how "Google is not Blizzard" and how Google couldn't possibly know how the game works or how to troubleshoot. He said Google is great for finding stuff but if I want tech support then I should follow his instructions. I respectfully told him to #%@* himself and made my way back to the quest giver WITH all my addons still enabled. The quest was working now. This just goes to show that Google provides better tech support than Blizzard can :P
Hey guys, for all of you who are a little curious about the new expansion I've started a beta blog. The main reason I started it is because I remember when the BC beta came out, I always wanted to find out more yet it was hard to actually get any specific information unless you knew someone. Anyhow, I got a blog going with tons of screenies. Feel free to check it out or send me any questions. The blog is located at http://www.wotlkbeta.info
