Wow, I haven’t posted a darn thing about WotLK since it came out, and I have a Naxx-raiding toon! It’s time to get back into the game – the game of posting about my playing again and bring you up to speed on everything since November.
Personal stuff first, for those of you who actually know me or of me over the years. In September I left my military contractor company to work from home for a company who produces WordPress premium themes as their Customer Support Manager. It was a great gig… until they up and kicked me to the curb in the first week of February, stating a “change of direction” for support. Since customers were happy, I had no idea what the heck that meant and was devastated for most of February. The very next day I began working for myself and have been ever since and just formed Petersen Media Group, LLC this week to get a business bank account set up. Things are going great now, so for all of you who follow me on Twitter @jpetersen and Facebook, thank you for your support the last 2 months.
On to WoW now… I’m hooked again. I took Protectr all the way from level 66 on expansion night to 80 in under a month and he’s doing Naxx 25 both with his guild and even pugging it from time to time and is a fierce tank, even if Gitr is still level 70. Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to play a “smack me” toon again who can’t heal himself just yet. In lieu of playing Gitr, I’ve decided to level Grimr to 80 ASAP to get him into dps slots of parties and he’s about to hit level 50. I’m power-leveling him with Kopp’s Guide to see how fast the Alliance side of leveling can be compared to my experience with Joana’s on the Horde side.
I’ve always like both Kopp’s and Joana’s guides. The Elite guide is pretty good, too. My favorite way back when was the Ultimate Guide, but I haven’t looked at it recently. I am still a bit burnt on WoW, but I’ve been leveling a new druid the past month so we’ll see …
OUCH.
I had no idea that happened – but am really, really glad to hear you’re moving forward and working for yourself! That’s awesome!
keep in touch – don’t be a stranger – etc – etc – etc 🙂
Thanks, Tomas! You’re always welcome at any of my sites. I’ve got you on my Fb to be sure we don’t lose touch. Let me know if you ever want to get into a new project together, I just don’t have time to make this place what we once imagined.
WoW never lets you truly leave its world 🙂
I left for 8 months and came back for Christmas break. Leveled Grimr to 80 on Feb 1st.
