Precious and Fragile Things

With World of Warcraft and all its expansions on sale (twenty bucks total until the 27th, so now's the time to buy if you ever thought of it), Sam has purchased WoW and we'll be rolling together through Azeroth. And, thanks to the Recruit-a-Friend, I'll be getting the Obsidian Nightwing Mount since he also purchased a month of paid time. I get to let friends fly around on my back!

We're going to wait until Tuesday to play since he has some Mass Effect 3 stuff to do, and also because that's when 5.0 goes live with all those lovely changes to the talent system. He won't be participating in the world event (I think he'd have to be 85), but I'll be doing that later on Folami, Wynfor, Thamina, and Aridhana for the achievement. (Yes, I have a busy day ahead on Tuesday.)

Sadly, I could not convince him to go Horde, so looks like I'll have another Alliance toon. He wants to go Night Elf and go Warrior (yes, OLAD buddies, he's going with a Saylin idea). I'll be rolling a druid for tanking healing dual speccing fun. I've been having so much fun healing on Thamina, I may as well learn a second healing class and teach myself to bear tank while I'm at it. If we decide to run a dungeon, it'll be instant queues all the way. With the recruit-a-friend benefits, we'll run around teamed up together and get triple XP, and this time I'm going to not level solely through instances, because there's game stuff I obviously want him to see.

Once MoP hits and he rolls with his monk, I'll try to get him to go Horde, I promise. Also, with MoP, I'll have eleven character slots, and I am determined to have six of them be Horde. (This druid will make five Alliance characters on this server and only three Horde. No, this will not stand. FOR THE HORDE!)

Real-life dinner conversation:

Me: "So, yeah, in Mists of Pandaria, druids will get a new form. They can turn into a stag and act as a mount for another person."
Sam: "That sounds rather silly, but now that you tell me this I feel compelled to gather a large group of druids to stampede through a city yelling, 'Stag party!!!'"
Me: "...I'm not letting you near my account. Ever."

The scary thing is, I know he was completely serious. Fellow WoW players, I'm keeping this element out of your gaming experience. You're welcome.

Soon I shall be posting some hot-hot panda action!

Muahahahahahahaha!!!!

...I am way more excited about punching stuff as a furry panda than I probably should be.
