"... And the world shall break."
When I hear that it sends shivers down my spine. I am not sure why but I like it. So much so that I had dusted of the WoW subscription several weeks ago to enjoy the game again. As I had blogged earlier, my main toon finally hit 85 and I was enjoying some of the end-game content but what I was really waiting for was the new expansion to release.
Well, today it released and I was up at 4:30am EST to enjoy all of the newness that Blizzard had to offer and I was not the only one. First thing I did in-game was to head over to the new level 80-82 zone Mount Hyjal and it was a freakin' zoo. Players and piles of dead animals were everywhere. I only lasted there for about 45mins. I was just too busy and rushed for my liking. It was time for a change of pace.
I then rolled a new toon, a Worgen rogue, and I enjoyed this much more. Although it was still crazy with people I didn't care. I was really digging the class and the race. I played for around 3 hours and didn't even realize the time fly. I will definitely be playing the Worgen much more over the next few weeks as I allow the higher level areas to calm down a bit so I can really enjoy the content rather than zip through it fast like a McD's drive-thru.
In other gaming news, I have been playing the Rune-keeper in Lord of the Rings a whole lot lately. I still think LOTRO is the best MMO on the market. I have been grinding reputation with the Aldraig in Enedwaith and hit Ally this week. One more level to go.
Finally, I downloaded the demo for Star Trek Online this past weekend. I was very anxious to do this because I am a big fan of all things Trek and I as hoping this game would not screw it up. Trek was my first Sci-fi love and nothing can compare to it, ever. Needless to say, I really enjoyed it. I rolled a Red-shirt Andorian and have already advanced to Lt. Grade 2. Playing the game really feels like the show. You have space combat and away missions and giant epic battles. All said, I am really looking forward to playing this some more.
So some very good gaming options for me to choose from over the Christmas holidays.
