| Lame Blog? |
| Thursday, January 15, 2009 |
I wonder what makes a good World of Warcraft Blog? Is it the interesting writing? Is it the game details in the posts? Is it the stylish look? Is it all of the above? I'm not sure.
I have been looking through the internet for WoW bloggers (mostly because my blog is lonely) and have found a lot of variety. There are the kind who give you very specific details on Raids. Some are Class specific. Some really know the Lore of Azeroth and what is suppposed to be happening as the game progresses. Some are just like mine, a documentary of personal game experiences with (truthfully) very little game expertise.
I don't have a lot of the serious gamers' expertise. I write here just for fun. I write about what I experience and that's about it. I really am amazed at the level that some people can get into World of Warcraft. Some players just seem to know where and how are the best ways to gear their characters. They seem to understand what it takes to make the most out of their grinding time. I don't really have a clue about that stuff.
For example, it still is a mystery to me how to know what faction/group I need to be exalted with to get whatever special rewards they offer for my girls. I don't even get it when a Guildie tells me I need to grind rep with so-and-so to get something I need. Not that I don't get what they are saying. I understand the gist of what they are saying but I usually don't have a clue as to how to go about doing what they say.
Take for instance the guy here at work who keeps telling me I need to get the Tabard from the Ebon Blade and run instances to get rep for them. That doing that will help Pallanen (my Warrior) in the long run. I get that, but I still don't have a clue as to where the Ebon Blade is yet let alone how to grind rep with them. My Death Knights have some experience with them (obviously) but still, where does one go to find them and work on that? Plus, how does one know that kind of detail in the first place?
So (back to the point) this blog isn't one of those where big game secrets are exposed. Well, maybe they aren't "big game secrets" per se, they are the things real gamers learn to make their characters uber-geared I guess. But I'm not made that way. I'm just not that bothered by getting uber-geared and I don't feel the big need for getting there. So maybe thats why no one visits here regularly. Maybe because I just blog about general stuff and don't get into all the nitty-gritty details about how Raids and stuff like that should go. I dunno. lol
None of this matters anyway. This is just a place to chronicle my girls exploits. I like looking back to see where the girls have been. It's fun. I wish I had done a blog from the beginning. The game is so different since I first started playing it. Back when I first started playing WoW, I didn't even think I'd be playing it long but here I am, one of the 'old-timers' now. Pallanen (my oldest girl :P) was born pre-BC. It took a lot to learn how to level back when Pally was young. I knew nothing about the game at all. I had no clue about gear or what Thottbot was or how to use Pallanen's talents properly. The poor girl died a lot unnecessarily in the beginning.
Now when I level a new character I have a nice understanding of what to do. They rarely end up in really bad situations. But back then, poor Pally had a hard time.
*minor aside.... Maybe I should do some flashback types of posts to document those days. Before my memory of them is totally gone forever. The game was much tougher back then. Better too, I think. Those posts would be fun to do. "Hey, good idea Jen!" lol
At any rate, the original idea for this post was to marvel at the amazing variety of blog styles. But that's just not a surprise since the game of World of Warcraft is capable of amazing variety itself. Someday, if I keep at it, I may be one of the experts.
Maybe.
Could happen.
Yah, I doubt that too. LOL |

About Me: I started playing WoW after my best friend bugged me to play. I soon learned that I really liked it. Now 2 years later I still play and have 20 characters. LOL I am no gaming expert. I am no WoW expert. A lot of the terms and "how to do's" elude me still. But I love to play. All you will find here are the adventures of Pallanen and her sisters. I love them all and they really kick butt. So stay tuned and maybe we can learn stuff from each other that we never knew. xoxo
