I'm prepping for patch 4.3 today. Vel is a busy little bee. I am going to organize my bank and go through what I want to keep and get rid of for Void Storage tomorrow. Ultimately I would like all of my old gear to go in there and my banks to be used to cosmetic items, cool quest things, and unique tabards. My guild bank is where I store my crafting materials and extra stuff I usually eventually sell on Auction House. I'm pretty organized already, because I'm ocd about that type of stuff, but I don't want to be overwhelmed tomorrow.

Since I last blogged, Skywall has been shoved in the role of being a "New Player" server. I have NEVER seen so many gold sellers spamming trade chat, lag, new people, and stupid names in my entire WoW life. I have also never been in a que to log in since Wrath of the Lich King. That doesn't bother me as much as the some of the new players. To those who are really doing their part on Skywall as new players who love the game... May your leveling experience be as epic as ever. To those just polluting our population, go drown in the Great Sea. :)


I am currently up to 89 mounts. I am still doing my Argent Tournament dailies to get the other few things I need. When the patch hits live tomorrow, I will definitely be bringing that number up to 90 with the addition of Tyrael's Charger. After all of the organization and madness tomorrow afternoon, I hope my boyfriend has time to run the new 5 mans with me. I just hope I don't have that extremely overwhelmed feeling I usually have after a patch. :/

And one other thing before I go, I FINALLY won the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby that earned me the "Salty" title. I chose Boots of the Bay. Here is a picture of my achievement.

I've been so busy lately. Since I last blogged, Vel has added a few more mounts to her arsenal. You can see them HERE. That brings my total up to 73, which is great because I never thought I would make it this far! The Time Lost Proto Drake still escapes me. I will have him soon... I'm determined.

I forgot to post my favorite screenshot while I was working on the Loremaster title. It was in Un'Goro Crater that I was saddened to find my favorite Bloodsprout eating dino had passed. Of course I left a pile at his grave in memory of all the run times I had there in the past.



My wonderful boyfriend also bought me a Guardian Cub. I was very surprised since I never expected him to get me something so wonderful! I did dailies with him out for a week, then all my other mini pets started to get jealous. :)

So now, I am patiently waiting for patch 4.3. I'm excited to participate in the Darkmoon Faire and the new 5 mans. To keep the game fresh, I rolled an Alliance on an RP server. It's definitely different and needless to say, very interesting. I actually coaxed my boyfriend to join me on my journey. I figured with a year pass up both our sleeves, we need to keep doing different things. This was the perfect way to keep an old game very new and fun for us.
