Today I have completed the year long achievement “What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been” in World of Warcraft, not bad for someone who gave up Raiding a few months ago and is not a member of a Guild. Before you ask “no I am not back playing World of Warcraft”, I just had some unfinished business to deal with, as I had complete all the other parts of this year long achievement, it was only right that I done the Brewmaster achievement to complete the set, so when I am old and my grand kids are watching a history program about the Digital Crack we call World of Warcraft, I can say, “yes I was addicted to WoW also” LOL

If you’re not interested in World of Warcraft, why are you still reading? If you are, here is the achievements that had to be complete during the past 12 months to achieve “What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been”.

• Hallowed Be Thy Name – (Hallow’s End): October 18th – 31th
• Merrymaker (Winter Veil): December 15th – January 2nd
• To Honor Ones Elders (Lunar Festival): February 5th – 23th
• Fool For Love (Love is in the Air): February 11th – 16th
• For The Children (Children’s Week): May 1st – 8th
• The Flame Keeper (Midsummer Fire Festival): June 21st – July 5th
• Brewmaster (Brewfest): 20th September – October 4th

Keep in mind only a tiny percentage of players in the world will have completed this in September 2009 the 1st month anyone was able to do so.

And finally here are 5 screen shots, as proof, not that many folk reading my blog will be demanding proof LOL.

So that’s that, all done and dusted. I will be checking in on WoW for at least an hour each week, just to keep a hand in for when the next expansion comes out, feel free to give me comment abuse for posting something about WoW

Just wondering is any of the folk I know play World of Warcraft, my guild is looking for a few new people to help in our 25 Man Raids, we are on the top level (Ulduar) content. As most of us work, have a family and are limited on our game time we raid late at night 21:30 to 00:30 Game Time (that’s 8:30pm to 11:30pm UK Time) and it’s 3 Nights a week, currently Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday but of course it’s optional if you can make the 3 nights, a few of us can only do 2 nights and that’s cool.

So if you’re on the Horde side and fancy joining me check out the Grudge Website, you need to be level 80 and raid ready!

Woke up this morning to find the world had changed, the excitement and buzz surrounding the change was indeed something, some would say an historic moment and indeed World of Warcraft patch 3.0.3 had been released overnight was indeed something pretty major. The final patch before the release of Wrath of the Lich King next Thursday at 00:01 in the morning, I have my copy ordered from Gameplay however I will probably have to visit the stores on Thursday to get the additional 2 copies I will need.

I will be updating my ever popular WoW Leveing site some time after I have played Lich King as I want to make sure I still offer the fastest routes and best information to level in World of Warcraft.

I have not played World of Warcraft in a while so today when I opened my email to see I have been selected for the Wrath of the Lich King Beta to check out all the new content I was much amused, millions of player’s world wide would kill for this opportunity. Indeed only a few months back I would been super excited by this news, however as I have a Worldwide Invitational code card from the event in Paris I can activate any of my accounts any time I want, now I could multi-box the beta and I am thinking I might just do this as I would be one of the very few that could, 3 Death Knights anyone!

I have to say the new expansion from what I have seen of it looks ace so it’s with much amusement that after closing 3 of my accounts at the weekend, taking me from 6 to 3 that Blizzard send me the beta invitation email, maybe it was by chance this happened but you have to wonder, did someone read the reasons why I was closing the other accounts and got me approved for this beta, who knows.

Anyway if/when I do install it I will see about posting up some screen shots and a few videos for anyone that’s interested.

Way hey, I finally got my Blood Elf Paladin to level 70, my first Horde, this brings the total number of level 70′s in World of Warcraft I have to 4. On the Alliance I have 3 level 70s, a Shaman, Priest and Mage

I totally love World of Warcraft and I will be going to Blizz Con Paris at the end of June this year. Have to say it was a chore to get my Pally to level 70 as to start with I was only doing it a couple of hours every other evening so took longer than it really should have, ah well it’s done now
