Thank you for taking the time to comment! ...@Nairu<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to comment! That's exactly what I want from my readers, I appreciate your time greatly!<br /><br />Since writing this I have done some research in/out of game and have discovered the infinites', of which I came across in my questing, and got to say I didn't realise how much Dragons are involved in the Warcraft history and lore!<br /><br />Keep them coming!<br /><br />.. and thanks again!<br /><br />- JaminJaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933819665446187419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-7240592279412810192011-03-21T12:19:41.629+00:002011-03-21T12:19:41.629+00:00It is really wonderful to read how you enjoy the W...It is really wonderful to read how you enjoy the Wrath content. So many people grew bored of it and can't see it anymore... But I'm amongst those who never will, because I adore the feeling of the zones. Well, except Icecrown. I simply cannot stand the color scheme, and the music annoys me. But you won't want to go there, anyways, because it's full of group quests, and you can choose to do the much prettier Storm Peaks instead. :)<br /><br />Regarding your pet, I'm not sure what to make out of this name xD, but I sure feel the same about my companions. Yangli has had a white cat, Yashyr, for years. When patch 3.0 hit, the original cat I had tamed was changed to sport black stripes, and my Yashi changed with her. I didn't like his new look at all, but I just couldn't tame a 'new' Yashyr! It took me two years until I finally found the heart to do it, but to be honest I'm much happier now he's back to his old look. ;) (Had my ghost wolf out during most of Wrath, anyways.)<br /><br />And I feel I have to make a slight correction about the dragons. First, there is more than five flights. I don't tell you to be nitpicky, but I think you might be interested. :) Beyond the 'regular' flights there's also the Infinite Dragonflight, that's the one jumping through time and trying to alter events (CoT instances), and nobody knows where they are coming from. It is however possible that Nozdormu created them, as you see him in the end of that quest where you assist yourself; the whole purpose of it was to show you the leader of the Infinites, and it shows you Nozdormu! But Chromie just goes 'Ah, uhm, I wonder what that means'. Very interesting stuff. :)<br />Furthermore there is the Twilight Dragonflight, the Netherwing and the Chromatic Dragonflight, but all of those evolved from the primary five flights.<br /><br />The other thing I felt like pointing out (oh my, so much text, I'm sorry!) is that Malygos is not technically insane. He -was- after the whole Demon Soul affair, but at the time you land in Northrend, he's not. That's what they tell you; but actually he has just made up his mind and decided to take away all magic from mortals, which, if you look at it without a bias, seems pretty reasonable. After all the mortal races repeatedly blew up the world and/or lured demons from the twisting nether to Azeroth by toying too much with the arcane.<br /><br />All right, this is already a wall of text, but I am still going to answer your question. ;)<br /><br />For me, the game fits quite well into real life. I see it as a hobby like any other, a pretty time-consuming one, but still a hobby. I don't refrain from bringing the topic up even with non-gamers when it fits into the discussion. I have many RL friends who play the game, and others I met over the game and now see in RL regularly. It's only a guilty pleasure for me at those times where I'm playing and -know- I really -should- be doing something else. But more often than not the guilt kills off the fun for me and I just shut down the PC. Towards others, I'm open about it. I might sometimes play down the time or thought I spend on it, but that's usually just with people I just don't want to have a discussion about supposed 'addiction' and stuff with. But usually I just go about gaming like the most normal thing to do, and people stop bugging me about it. :)<br /><br />Sorry again for so much text. :3Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491816948398944076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-42007027052618529762011-03-21T09:22:55.424+00:002011-03-21T09:22:55.424+00:00@Dora

Just leaves somewhere to re-visit in the future XD<br /><br />Also. I'm sorry to hear your news, but glad that you can see the light from the situations. Chuffed that you can take a form of escape from my writing.<br /><br />Chin up!<br /><br />- JaminJaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933819665446187419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-1043048772047974112011-03-21T09:01:25.390+00:002011-03-21T09:01:25.390+00:00Great read as always Jamin! :) The Wrathgate is tr...Great read as always Jamin! :) The Wrathgate is truly an epic moment in game - especially if its your first time doing it. Takes you by surprise and its awesome!<br /><br />You asked where to go next. Up to you obviously - but I've always loved the Grizzly Hills - that fiddle music is just the best. :)<br /><br />Had some sad news. My dad passed away yesterday so I probably won't be blogging for a week or two. I am ok - just a little shell shocked as it came out of the blue, but I am relieved now that he is no longer in pain and suffering. Your blog really cheered me up this morning, so thank you.Döra the Level 1 WoW Explorerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350569187269541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-30375788341086347412011-03-20T21:07:49.568+00:002011-03-20T21:07:49.568+00:00@Mhorgrim
Thanks for the response! Did you head o...@Mhorgrim<br /><br />Thanks for the response! Did you head over to my post over at TimeWastedTuesday?<br /><br />Great to hear another fellow gamers perspective. I also spend intervals reading/writing and researching! Your not alone there XD<br /><br />- JaminJaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933819665446187419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1028597023048367336.post-86806575201991754732011-03-20T15:44:24.246+00:002011-03-20T15:44:24.246+00:00How do you feel the game we all love fits into you...How do you feel the game we all love fits into your real life. I want to hear what you think! <br /><br />Hmm...first and foremost, I enjoyed your posting and hope to see alot more. Your take on Azeroth is always entertaining. As to the above, I am far more a casual gamer. My RL is very busy so during the week I only have 1-2 hours a night to do things. On the weekends when I am not working, I tend to pour a significant amount of time towards gaming.<br /><br />Interestingly enough though, I tend to do alot of reading on my breaks/lunchtime concerning WoW. This allows me a little research time as well as working the auction houses and writing/reflecting about WoW.Mhorgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477248508719375474noreply@blogger.com
