So, a couple of days ago, I decided that I was desperately needing something fun to do, and that it was time to break out the guest pass for David's World of Warcraft copy.
Oh, what folly have I wrought?
Anyway, we tried to install it, only to discover that the nearly 4 gig I'd managed to free up was not enough to download and install all the patches, and there was no more to be had. It was impossible, and that fact made me weep bitter tears, as I hate sharing a computer. The next day (yesterday evening), however, David had a wonderful, awful idea, and I was worn out enough from meetings with school and worry (see previous post) that I let him do it. Given that our computers are very similar, he copied all the WoW stuff over from his system onto mine, overwriting my copy with his patched, tweaked one. Amazingly enough, it worked!
Last night, I logged on and played. I couldn't get onto Argent Dawn, so I went for Feathermoon instead (Alisdair has a character there--he likes to fish). I made a dwarf hunter named Lyran, whom I could tweak to look remarkably close to my real live self. She's better endowed in the chest area, but our hips look amazingly similar. :) None of that willowy elf shit for me. *grin* I'll attempt to get a screenshot when next I play to post here. Can't let![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bruceb have all the fun.
Being a dwarf hunter is very cool. I have an axe and a cool backspin move. I have a musket and can shoot the shit out of stuff! Also, there's damn few female dwarves on this server that I saw. Dunno if that's typical (and if so it's a shame, 'cause they're actually sorta cute) but it's true. And they're Scottish!!! How cool is that! Scot-sounding crack-shot skull-splitting girls with curves. Damn me if I'm not hooked.
Sigh.
So, yeah. I played for a few hours last night, which predictably got me to bed at least an hour later than I'd meant for it to and I had no idea where the time went. The game has quickly been relegated to Weekend Play Only, Upon Pain of Death. I had a good time, though. Gained five levels. Died twice, the second time being when I walked off a big cliff and landed in front of the big bad guy I was supposed to kill, only he still had all his cronies with him. I ended up running around, fleeing from a mob of ice troll whelps with their leader at the helm, taking pot shots from them until I finally fell down and went boom. Much amusement.
I'm so hooked. Pity me. :)
