I can't get away @O-Tron you feed me the kool aid and now I am hooked. This last 4 months was the longest I have ever made it. You start off good, it's like I am 'clean', but then the months go by and I feel like something is missing. I really enjoy the work out it gives my brain. I don't feel bad about it, I feel it makes my brain "healthy" so to say. I love the bright and vivid colors. I was going to make a post on how this expansion maybe they bumped the graphics or something, but everything seems more bright and vivid. It's been interesting coming into this expansion last. I mean it's no longer a rush, I am enjoying more of the lore. No need to hit max level so fast. I am doing a lot more side quests, getting new toys and pets. Just kinda taking it all in. Everyone keeps saying it's the best since Cataclysm. I don't know about that yet, but enjoying it so far.
Yes agreed with @C Pav. If you are going to play, play now. My wife still complains that the entire time she was pregnant she never saw me. That is because I knew what was coming and got it in as much as possible. Thankfully at my old job me and @C Pav were able to make it up at work (those were the best of days). But now it's tough to squeeze it in. My raiding days will be missed, now I am just a casual mount, toy, and pet hunter.
Micro-Holidays in Patch 7.1.5
Patch 7.1.5 brings with it a variety of updates and new content. One of these new additions is what we’re calling micro-holidays. Each one is meant to make the world feel more alive without making players feel like they need to participate for big rewards—while still providing some more variety and fun.
These holidays are just the beginning and we’ll be adding more even beyond the patch so keep an eye on the calendar!

- Call of the Scarab - January 21-23 - To commemorate the first ringing of the Scarab Gong on January 23, 2006, players will be able to relive a portion of the Ahn’Qiraj gate opening by collecting items for turn-in. The winning faction will then be able to claim bragging rights and have their faction flag hang over the gates until the next Call of the Scarab micro-holiday event.
- Hatching of the Hippogryphs - February 23 - Those who head to Feralas will be able to bear witness to the yearly hatching of the hippogryphs. You may even make a little friend for the day.
- March of the Tadpoles - April 5 - Each year, the Winterfin murlocs allow their tadpoles free reign over their village. You can make a difference by adopting your favorite, feeding it, and protecting it from nearby predators.
- Volunteer Guard Day - April 28 - Step into the shoes of a guard in the major cities with a /salute and you’ll get to serve and protect the city just like them. Stay vigilant and watch out for any invaders.
- Spring Balloon Festival - May 10-12 - Several of Azeroth’s characters – some of whom you might recognize – are giving tours of Azeroth in their hot air balloons. You’ll enjoy their commentary and interact with other citizens as you take in the scenery.
- Glowcap Festival - May 27 - Head to Sporeggar in Zangarmarsh, collect some rare mushrooms, and help the sporelings heal the great mushroom, Fshoo. You’ll gain a bit of Sporeggar reputation for helping them out.
- Thousand Boat Bash - June 6-8 - Thousand Needles is where the biggest bash on boats can be found in Azeroth. It’s a chance to unwind a little, away from the lurking danger of the Burning Legion.
- Un’goro Madness - August 10-12 - Dinosaurs are running amok in Un’Goro. Help quell the rampage and you’ll be awarded some temporary evolution buffs.
These holidays are just the beginning and we’ll be adding more even beyond the patch so keep an eye on the calendar!

I thought you signed in, but wasn't too sure. I am enjoying it so far, way better than gaylords. I think the lands are fun, and like the Viking theme with most of the stuff. I hit 110 the other day, but still tons to do. This expansion is an alt killer, so much to do with your main. That ui above it's not mine. I kinda custom do mine. There are some nice pre done ones like elv ui, Spartan ui, etc. Oh and congratulations on the kid coming, your world is gonna change. Welcome back Gimlos!

I'm digging it. Will be playing on my nights in Dickinson. Don't tell my wife as she will hate that I am back playing it. My mental health is seriously better the last couple of nights having played it. I've had a lot of stress lately and it's nice just to have an outlet to just zone out and think of nothing else. It's amazing how great it feels to just play and then all of a sudden realize that two-three hours have passed. I kind of missed that. I really love the visuals on this expansion. It feels a lot like the old game and looks like the old game while also feeling fresh.
Also, when are we questing together once more? "Do that to me one more time. Once is never enough, with a man like you."

Need more artifact power! That is basically what it has turned into. Wanting to level your main weapon. I am so close to be able to run the next wing of LFR, just like 1 item level away but no matter how many heroic dungeons I win I just can't seem to break it. Hopefully today with the reset I can get something out of the older LFR wings. I will admit so far it's 10x better than Warlords. Story lines are interesting, and I kinda like the whole "Assassins Creed" feel of the city quests in that one city.
Sorry WoW bros, I can't even get myself falsely excited to log back in. I resubbed pretty much only to get the Christmas gifts and achievement but beyond that, due to time and other games, I have no desire to play it. It's just a grind and boring once you get so far and wince the rest is end game it's pointless.
Look I knew you would come in with this. I don't have the time to play 3 to 4 hours straight. 3 to 4 minutes is pushing it even. Queue for dungeon, wait 1 hour, take an hour to run it, repeat. Sorry doesn't interest me at this stage in my life. I like console gaming and single player games where I only have to wait for the game to load, play when I want and can and quit when I can.Like I said you will hit a point where it isn't fun anymore trust me. I've experienced the expansion, was fun for a while and now it's over.
Finally got my Ilvl up last night to 835 to goto the next LFR wing, only to find out it's not even released yet. Guess it's coming soon though.
