Escape

I have been playing quite a lot of WoW these last few weeks, I'm really liking the new patch. Nazjatar is such a beautiful zone, and I haven't even went to the other zone yet, Mechagon. All in time I guess, right now I'm focusing on grinding rep with The Unshackled and collecting more Prismatic Manapearls so I can upgrade my gear. I really have to say I am surprised how much I have enjoyed questing in this new zone, it hasn't felt like this for a while. I know I also have to continue with my raiding soon, so I can try out the latest one.

I started thinking about for how long I actually have been playing WoW, and had to launch a small investigation. My Battle.net account didn't show any data older than 2012, but after a bit of research, I found a link that gives access to history older than that. So next Spring I have had my account for 10 years. That is, however, not the point when I played WoW for the first time. I started way before that, with leveling a character on a friends account. There was a way of finding out that date too, by going to Warcraft Realms. I still remembered the name and server of this character from long ago, so I could easily trace the date. Turns out that on 5th of August, which is next week, it is officially 10 years ago since I played WoW for the very first time. What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been..!

I also continued a bit on Pokémon Crystal, I'm currently pretty much done with Johto and I'm trying to level my Pokémon a bit more so I can fight the Elite Four and continue to Kanto. I decided to capture Suicune as well, since it would be a nice addition to my party. I had postponed this until I got to Blackthorne City where I could finally buy some Ultra Balls. I had to try a few times, because I just couldn't believe how many balls I had to throw before the bastard would finally get caught. I had him down to only a few HP, and he was also kept asleep all the time, but it took 33 Ultra Balls before he gave up. Well, now I'm a happy camper, and I'll just need to level a little bit more before I can kick some serious ass. Now I'm going to bed, cya..!
