They never want it again

 I have only been focusing on Loremaster these last few weeks, and I finally got out of Outland and continued to Eastern Kingdoms. So far I have been progressing relatively fast, and the amount of quests in each zone hasn't felt too overwhelming. However, on Thursday we finally got the date for Shadowlands, and it's 27th of October. This is a little bit earlier than I was hoping for, so it puts a lot of pressure on everything right now. On the other hand, I am not sure there will even be any changes to Loremaster in Shadowlands, so I might be panicking for nothing. But it would be very nice to get it done now, because when the new expansion is here I'll obviously focus wholeheartedly on current content, and then Loremaster would be postponed by another year or two.

So I have currently no idea how this is going to play out, it will all depend on how much free time I'll have this fall. In any case, I am surely looking forward to the next expansion as well, and I need to get to pre-ordering my copy of the game soon. I'll leave this very short today, it's mostly just a small update on how things are going. See you soon. Here's a pic of Missy and her mouse friend, in the beautiful Eversong Woods.

This summer went by in a flash, and I haven't even nearly done everything I was supposed to do. I have mostly just been working all the time, while simultaneously trying to finish school. There has barely been any spare time, and instead of relaxing, I have only become more exhausted. But as of Thursday it seems like my school-related nuisances are finally over, so maybe I can enjoy this last summer month a little bit more. As one might suspect, there hasn't been much time for gaming during the whole summer, but I have been able to squeeze in a little WoW here and there. I completed all the story-related quests in BfA, and then I went on to continue on Loremaster. I'll be done with Outland real soon, and then it's Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms left. This makes it sound like there is very little remaining, but we all know how many zones and quests there are in those last two continents...

The reason why I picked up Loremaster again is probably upcoming Shadowlands. From what I have read so far there will be a lot of changes to WoW after this expansion, and I am afraid this would alter the Loremaster achievement in some way. That's why I would really like to have it before Shadowlands, even though we don't really have an exact date yet. The Beta opened a few weeks ago, so that means we are getting closer now. Rumors are saying maybe November. I'm just going to continue forward, and make this achievement my number one priority right now. There will probably be some other achievements or items that I would need to get too, let's see what I have time for. In any case the eight expansion of WoW is coming closer all the time, and it makes me both happy and sad at the same time.

I have some work that needs to be done today, so I'll keep it relatively short. Let's hope I'll have time to post again real soon. Bye!

This month has gone by both really fast and really slow, but I have made a little bit of progress with certain things. I finally have the Pathfinder part 2 achievement, so I can fly in BfA zones. My night elf priest is currently level 118, so I am very close to my third fully leveled character. The fact that Blizzard extended the 100% experience buff up until next expansion is really helping at the moment. One thing that I am not sure about is how leveling is going to be in Shadowlands. As far as I understand, all the old starting zones for different races will be changed to something new, and from level 10 and forward you can go to pretty much any zone from any older expansions for leveling, since the quests will scale to your current level. Also, the max level will be scaled back to level 60. I don't know what to think about this, it feels like a lot of changes at once. I mean, I have always been okay with some things changing each expansion, but this feels like too much maybe. I kind of get the max level scaling, because we are already at the eighth expansion of WoW and level cap is getting quite high. Don't know about the leveling thing though, it sounds like a lot of things from "old" WoW will disappear. But there's not much I can do about it, so I'll just have to go along with it and hope it's good after all.

I also finally published my review on The Outer Worlds, and uploaded one of the two planned videos. I also booted up this old game I used to play a lot as a kid, James Pond 2. It was released on a lot of different platforms, but I used to play it in DOS, so that's the version I'm sticking to. It is a really cool platformer, with very colorful and vibrant levels. I recorded some material from it, so if I have time I'll post a review and maybe some short video later.

Otherwise I have mostly been at work or doing school stuff, I still have a lot to do before I can graduate. I'm not sure how I'll be able to pull these last things together, but let's just hope for the best. Laterz!
