2011 Resolutions, Volume 5

Posted by theepicraiders on January 17, 2010 at 12:18 PM

And the beat goes on. I have Medivh, the first realm to open the Gates of Ahn'Quiraj, and Garithos up for today. The tentative plan is to throw down my resolutions for Kirirn Tor, which include Carlah and Mariele, tomorrow. Then I can give the grand finale for Kel'Thuzad on Tuesday or Wednesday.


You may notice that some of these characters are not active. Frankly, they fall far down the totem.



Realm: Medivh
Istvann, Gentleman Warlock
Quick Note: All my toons on this server have Magic: The Gathering based names and this was my first toon on this server. It is based off of the character I rolled in the World of Warcraft open beta, and then later when I played on someone else's account. Uncle Istvan, was a black card from the Dark. He is the only alliance character on this server. I hadn't leveled on him much at all and realized I was still wearing mostly whites. Since early WotLK it was easy to get greens, now it's even more so. Plus rolling through the new Westfall was kinda cool. Also got my demon horse.
Necessary goal: Level up tailoring so I can wear something snazzy. I didn't level up the tailoring to do this, though I did level up some. Instead I took advantage of the new leveling gear and the uber bad-ass Staff of Justified Sins.
New goal- Finish outfitting myself in dapper greens.
Lofty goals: Get a beta key so I can beta the original game and Cataclysm with the same (similar) character. Sorry, my compy was too far behind the curve, oh well.
New goal- Craft a full tuxedo.

Layoftheland, Orc Shaman
Quick note: This is a green card you can play to search for one land card and put it in your hand. Not sure that was the right naming call, but we'll go with it. Believe it or not, there are four Layoftheland.
Necessary goals: Work on filling out the totems. Think I got a fire one to go with earth, still more to go though.
Lofty goals: Find a way to really enjoy leveling through Durotar again. Thank you Cataclysm!
New goal- Get a blue quest item.

Phyrexia, The Undead Warrior
Quick note: This is the second Phyrexia in my repetoire. Phyrexia is the plane of existance where undead creatures and machines meld together into abominations. I'm seeing a little bit of Forsaken tech and undeath meld together in Silverpine. Time to find out more.
Necessary goals: Get to level 20 and buy a mount. Almost there.
Added goal- Level through Silverpine.
Lofty goals: Bring the Nine Spheres of Phyrexia to the level 80 85 world.

Pyrohemia, Blood Elf Warlock
Quick note: This is the name I like the most. Pyrohemia is a burning of the blood. This was also the first character I rolled for Burning Crusade. When I first started played on this toon, it blew up my graphics card.
Necessary goals: Keep on rolling with the bunny ears on.  That is how I roll. Sexy Bunny Time. Look at the armory picture. That's pure pimping right there boy.
Time Permitting goals: Roll on to level 80
Lofty Goals: Rock out with my Infernal out.

Realm: Garithos
Shadowmoo, Cow Twink
Quick Note: We rolled these characters as part of my main guild wanting to see the horde side of things. We all rolled a twink and some of us rolled mains. But as with all guilds people come and go and the people who made this guild lively went. So now we barely check these characters, it's a shame beacause I got this female tauren druid pretty well decked out. As I lamented in my Hammardin article the twink infrastructure changed greatly when exp was added. I'm not sure that this battlegroup has a dedicated bracket of level 19 twinks, so my only hope might be to level through the bgs and then put Shadowmoo out to pasture as well.
Neccessary goals: PvP as much as possible before I ding 20 Nope never happened. Guess I'll have to try again.
Lofty goal: actually find a thriving 19 twink community. Psh, this lofty.

Thundahoof, The Cow Becomes the Hunter
Quick Note: The original plan was to make this a lvl 29 twink, which I still may do. It's just not a big priority.
Necessary goal: check the ah. I think it's been a while since I put some things up for sale on the AH. that's lost money if I don't get back in enough time.  Great. Nothing on AH now that's for sure. I think I want to do my lvl 20 hunter quest though.
Lofty goals: Kick butt and take names with a cow with a gun! And that hunter quest will help me do just that.

Gravey, Far-out troll shammy
Quick note: This is a homage to Flintlokcke's Guide to Azeroth, a great webcartoon about a relatively useless warrior who fancied himself a master of arms. One of his sidekicks is a stoner shaman named Gravy. Now the comic character has his own NPC.
Necessary goal: establish this toon as the main on this server. I got a little further in that during teh 24 hour down time on my main server, But not much more than a level and a half.
Time permitting goals; Hit 80 or 85 and get heirlooms.
Lofty goals: revive the guild. It's not coming back, but a boy can dream. One guy checks his toons every now and then.


Jusanotherdk, Just Another Death Knight
Quick note: I rolled this Death Knight against my own desire to keep dks off servers I don't already have a level 55 on. I rolled it to help out other twinks in the guild, but the guild dried up soon after I rolled this toon. This is honestly a candidate for deletion. Like I've said in a previous post. I don't like having DKs without a lvl 55 and all he's doing is collecting dust waiting for someone to run through low-level instances.
Necessary goal: twiddle thumbs. Seriously, I made this just to run lowbies, so unless I'm going to start a service providing runs for low level toons, he's just another pretty faced Blood Elf DK.
Lofty goals: I dunno, do something with him? Both of these goals are still valid and besides being a bank, he doesn't have much purpose.
