Busy WoW day.
Its been a while, but the fun in the game we love to play is back.
Tanya's mage hit 70. I grabed this screen shot and made a wallpaper
Let me know if you would like the wallpaper.
And the Scourge invasion was in full swing. I hopped on Val and was able to get revered with the Argent Dawn and get a tabbard. Great time indeed.
Great time indeed. Now all is left is to rais the funds to move, Para, Val, and Tanya's mage to The Scryers to begin our new journey with Thought and Memory
Looking forward to the expantion. But for now. . Sleep time. Then. . a hard day ahead.. But all will be well.

Project Move Para - Custom Themes
/company experiment mode onI have found a new home. . Now I need to transfer Paravel and Val, and then Tanya's mage. and . . yea I know.
In the lean times of the budget crises with Tanya not getting a contract after last years school year, and my attempt to get the company off the ground, times, as with most in the country, are tight financially. So. . I have taken a custom theme I was doing for Deep Magic and I am offering it as limited edition theme for 10 lucky guilds out there.
I do not know if this will work, but my normal prices on a custom drupal theme run from $500 to $2500. These one shot themes will go for $25. Desperate? Hmm. . not sure. But its worth a shot to see how it works out.

Very nice intervew about the future of gaming. Althogh I find a slight seperation with Jon on Casual vs Hardocre. I think its time to define a new vocabulary to seperate the labels from a genera compared to a play style.
Check it out.

Oh Noez! My mods are borked!
Well we will be getting WoW 3 tomorrow. One thing I am doing, beside a lot of design work and such not related to wow, is updating and getting ready for the patch.I am a veteran of a couple of major UI/API changes and know how hard the switch for some will be when they log in tomorrow and find that most of the addons they use are broken. I hope to help at least aim you in the right direction to make this transition go a little smoother.
First download and install WoWMatrix. This little gem will search out updates for you. So instead of having to scour over endless web pages trying to locate the latest version of your mod, you just hit a button and it does it for you. And NO, WoWMatrix is NOT an addon, nor does it run in game despite what I heard on a podcast a few weeks ago.
WoWMatrix is safe. The author has even taken an extra step now to provide fuller description and a link to the mods webpage for you to check a certain mod if you have questions about it being safe or not.
I also suggest you keep WoWMatrix set to launch wow, and keep wow set to launch the launcher. This will provide a litle more security for those afraid of getting haxed.
Some of the mods that you currently use now might be going away or have not had any public announcement as to availability come Tuesday. I will be giving some tips and suggestions as I dig through my mods right this very minute.
Pre Expansion Blues - What do I do?
I'ts Monday. Enough said.I spent most of last night reading forums, reviewing WoWjutsu, and checking realm list creation dates and data center data locations in an attempt to try and find a place to call home for the expansion. I tell you, its not easy.
Here is my delima, and please excuse any rambling as it has been a rambling weekend. I am currently playing my main, Paravel, on the PvE Misha US server. Tanya and I came to Misha after leaving Earthern Ring. The reasons we left ER are not really important, but the size and age of ER was a factor in our departure.
We found ourselves on Misha because we had just been introduced to some local people through Todd, the former pastor at Cooper Ave Baptist Church in Yuba City. Todd and I hooked up when he first moved into our area. When I resigned First Baptist Live Oak we gravitated to Cooper. (See, I'm rambling) Back to Misha.
While Todd was pastor at Cooper he found out one of the members and her husband played wow. So they hooked up. At the time I was involved in raiding with a great raiding group on ER in the SaSu raiding alliance. Todd knew that the husband was struggling with raiding and guilds on Misha and possibly looking for a place to transfer. His joining us was not to be. As fate would have it we left ER and went to Misha mainly they where there. It turns out that Tanya and Michelle knew each other from when they where youth growing up in the same area.

Blizzcon: Ghostcrawler is not a HAWT Chick!
Time for class descusion.
First. Ghostcrawler is NOT a gril. The room exploded in laughter.
Best line ever about the new buff system
"We want to get back to where you bring the player and not the class."
The new buffing system now affects the whole raid. So now it will take fewer buffers to fill out the group and leave room for others to come. You know, like your friends.
We now have 4 main tank classes.

- Warrior
- Paladin
- Druid
- Death Knight
Another confirmation of dual spec from Ghostcrawler. He said it should not be complicated, no running back into town. You will not be able to switch on the fly like in an arena.
Another great quote. "Dont nerf me bro!"
Blizzcon: Notes from UI conf
We have confirmation in an upcoming dual spec ability. Meaning we can have 2 specs to switch between. At the same time the developers stated they will be addressing the specing UI to give ability to make sure you do not spend points without a confirmation.
Not only is auto shot for a hunter fixed and will not be clipped by another ability, but not for priests, mages and locks wanding is the same. It will stop as soon as you cast. No more having to wait for the cool down to heal or nuke. Yea!
The UI panel is over. Looks like a few cool things coming. More notes to come as the class discussion will start shortly.

Inscription
Scribing Tools now known as Inking Tools
First I made 30 Silvery Ink. This got me to level 28 and gave me the mats to make the next recipe.
purchased 16 Light Parchment (purchased 1 to many :) )
Made 15 Scrols of Intelect to get to level 40
I learned milling and started to create Alabaster Pigment
I made 30 Alabaster Pigment with 3 stacks of Peace Blossom
I then made 25 Moonglow Ink and hit level 63
Purchased 14 more Light Parchemtn to give me a total of 15. Now to make 15 Scrolles of Recall
I stoped at 13 when I hit level 70
Purchased 10 more Light Parchement to have 12 on hand. The guide was wrong on how many Moonglow ink, so I need to get to 80. Lets see how I do. . (Now a server notice that its going down. *hurry*))
Well, so much for 15 min warnings. A 15 min restart turned into a 10 second. So my data for money spent will be lost but we will continue on and see how easy it is to level Inscription. I am looking forward to being able to use the vellum for Brick to enchant to, so this should be a good test.
Ok, several hours later the server is back up! Time to continue the experament. First, get out of trade channel. *head desk*
I made 12 Bleached Vellum and got to 81
Milling 2 stacks of Stranglekelp gave me 18 Dusky Pigment and 4 Verdiant Pigment
Creating Midnight Ink was grey to me. So I made Scroll of Strength to get to 90 Made 10 + 5. had to fudge it some.
For 90 - 100 I am making Glyph of Wrath since the Glyph of Rejuv is now yellow.
For 100-110 I will make 15 Lion's Ink. First I need to mill 1.5 stacks of Wild Steelbloom gave me 15 golden Pig and 2 Burnt Pig
That only got me to 104. So I milled some more Golden Pig and got to 105 when Lions Ink went grey.
105-115 x 15 or so Glyph of Holy Light
115-130 x 25 Glyph of Healing Touch
Need alot of Lions Ink to get to 150
130-135 5x Glyph of Moonfire
135-140 5x Glyph of Lay on Hands
140-150 10x+ Glyph of Sunder Armor
I stalled at 149. Need to find a way to make more ink to get one stinking point, but some jerk has herbs on the PTR AH for 500 gold. *head desk*
And now for the AHH HAA and Head Desk x 2. Frustrated at not having the mats to get the one point I lo out. Switch to my other account and sitting on the PTR? My herbalist! DUH! TIme to farm.
Yea 150!
150- 155 Jadefire Ink (just keep makeing it :) )
155-160 Glyph of Righteous Defense
160-165 Glyph of Gouge
165-170 Glyph of Shadow Bolt
170-180 Glyph of Overpower
180-185 Glyph of Shadow Word:Pain
185-190 Glyph of Sap
190-200 Glyph of Revenge (Took about 14)
At 200 we get Artisan
Start makeing Celestial Ink I got to 205 after makeing 65.
205-220 Inscribed Vellum - At this level new spells are only green :(
220-225 Glyph of Starfire
225-230 Glyph of Ice Block ((Need more Celestial Ink)
Took me some time. Had to have Digory go farming just to get one point. Now lets continue shall we?
Well *sigh* Looks like im at a stand still. . Next ink is at 250. And everything we have now is green. Lets see how far I can get makeing Fiery Ink.
