Being a defiled DK is the only thing that makes this OK |
It’s been about five months since I rolled my blood elf rogue, and I’m at level 68. I just made it to
Northrend, and I’m starting to get anxious to
level up so I can raid with my level 80 buddies. But there’s so much other fun stuff to do in-game that I keep getting distracted. So it’s slower going, but I don’t necessarily consider that a bad thing. As long as I’m having fun.
Like last week, when my toon and my husband’s alt, a blood elf DK, were running around
slaughtering all the Talbuk in
Nagrand. Meanwhile, another Horde group in the area was working on gaining control of
Halaa. We were counting down as the number of Alliance guards went from 15 to 0. So when the chat window announced that Horde was gaining control, we both cheered them on in the local defense chat. And although we were in the middle of questing, I suggested that we head to Halaa to help with the final
capture of the area. So we dropped everything, and went to chat it up with the other players. Yeah, it delayed our leveling. But it also was a good time.
Or another time was when I dinged level 55 and promptly
rolled a troll DK as an alt. I went ahead and played through the first few levels, got all the awesome blue gear, and headed
back to Orgrimmar for redemption. But, wouldn’t you know it, I got to the Valley of Wisdom and an Ally group had just raided the city. Thrall was dead, with no hope for respawn for about two hours. And I was still in disgraced status, so of course the few guards who already had respawned were throwing rotten fruit at my pretty blue face and yelling for others to get a rope. No problem, I could have switched characters back to my main and come back at a better time. Instead, I joined a group of fellow DKs who were passing the time by /dancing from Thrall’s empty throne. Silly? Yes. But fun? Abso-freakin’-lutely.
And I can think of numerous times I’ve been in UC as a raid comes through. Each time I’ve been too low level to defend at all, but I head to the Royal Quarter anyways. Just to observe. And try to distract the Allies by
squawking up a headache as my
hawkstrider stands right on top of
Lady Sylvanas. I like to watch those Allies squirm.
Am I the only one who gets caught up in all this random fun stuff? Not that I need anything else to keep me from leveling, but what are some of your favorite distractions?
