That’s right.. The Troll Twins both dinged 60 and so did Treant!  Trolls had 3 and half days played.  I know others have gotten to 60 a lot faster under the RAF thingy.. but for as leisurley as my played time might be compared to a real hardcore leveller,  I had fun doing it.

It does make the game much more enjoyable haha.  Fast enough to keep you motivated to ding again soon while still moving you through the lore and some of the stories.  I think that the game played on “regular” speed the first time through was fine.  It might have drug on a little bit here and there but for the most part you had to finish every single aspect of each and every area to progress through the game.  After doing that a couple times, it really becomes an unappealing grind to level up again.  One that I’ve been loathe to do as atested to by my plethora of level 20 and 30 something toons.

Here’s my big suggestion for WoW.. (more…)

Yesterday I took Rossa and I ran some old world content..  Went through Dire Maul North, killing at will.. no tribute run.  Just before the last room with Captain Kromcrush and King Gordok, I summoned Jobu (the shaman), just in case something good dropped he could use.  Of course.. killer hunter legs dropped.  Poor Cerrano.

Next I went to Blackrock Depths and got Rossa attuned to Molten Core.. just ‘cuz.  There will be no soloing in MC though hah.  She barely made it to the zone with the first two Molten Giants stomping on her all the way.  They just have way too much health compared to Rossa’s life expectancy there by herself.  This week I might work on Onyxia chain for the halibut too.

On to Stratholme where Baron Rivendare will surely get sent to see Kelthuzad by Rossa’s holy might!  Uhh.. no.. the Ramstein the Gorger or whatever his name is event got bugged on me.  I don’t remember his name for sure because he didn’t spawn for me.  I killed all but one of the abominations roaming around and I let him go for a bit as I collected more Stratholme Holy Water from the supply crates, as most groups do.  I had been moving through the place fairly quickly too.  Got to that point just outside the Baron’s hold there with a couple short minutes to spare on the 45 minute timer.  There was no way I was gonna be able to kill the dozen big brutes, the waves of skeletons and Ramstien in those 2 minutes though.  Still I had made good time.  Nothing that would cause the last abomination to abruptly vanish and the whole courtyard full of them respawn.
