MMO Night

The first MMO night is over and it was a blast, really found myself getting back into these games finally. Started off the night with World of Warcraft and decided that my task for the night was start clearing space in my bags so I can loot then take a look at my gear since I knew full well it needs sorting.

Well that plan went straight out the window, I do have a bit of space in one of my bags but I did not even bother to start looking into make space since I realised it was the first full of April which means the Dark Moon Faire event is on. For those who don't play the game basically the Faire appears on the first full week of the month, outside the major player cities portals appear which take you to the Dark Moon island. The Faire as all sorts of carnival games, weird pet zoo's and a concert (yup you heard me right).

During the week there are daily quests for the carnival games that can only be done once a day to earn tokens, games including everything from whack-a-gnoll, shoot the target and one of my favourites shooting yourself out of a cannon in the hope to hit a bullseye target in the sea.). Reputation is also earned from the quests which unlocks rewards for you to spend your tokens on, some of the cooler rewards are Bear mounts and vanity pets.

Dark Moon Faire

The Faire also as monthly quests which can only be done once per month (so once per Faire) that boost up your professions stats which is great quick cheap way to help level up, plus reputation and tokens too. Anyway back to the point I did today's quests and will be jumping back on every day to do the quests, of course the major levelling and questing will still have to wait until MMO night next week. Also noticed that this Sunday sees the Easter event going live, now normally I would not bother with it since I've already done it before and got all the rewards but since the Cataclysm expansions all the events have been revamped with new stuff so I'm expecting to see some cool changes for Easter (well hopefully anyway).

With the quests done I pretty much spent researching on guides for my class and seeing whats new, planning out what I want to do. Did pick up some new pieces of equipment too to help me get started into getting back on track so very chuffed, next week I'm planning to level up with some factions to unlock some cool enchants which will buff my stats up as well.

God I bet this sounds boring to people who don't play World of Warcraft, sorry folks maybe it's best to stay away from my MMO night posts.

Anyway I stopped myself since at the rate I was going at I would have no time for Star Wars, luckily for me today is the last day of my old time card so using that up first instead of paying for a month subscription. Going to order another time card in a bit and hopefully that will arrive in time for next weeks MMO night.

So my plan for Star Wars was to do my first Flash Point which is basically a group dungeon, was a rough start waiting for a group but after ten minutes grouped up with a nice Intelligence officer. Have to say it was one of my fun group quests ever, all the loot was for my class and the guy let me have it all so now got a nice set of armour and blasters so my Bounty Hunter is pretty pimped out right now.

The Flash Point was Black Talon, basically a simple transporter ship taking us to our destination which then involved us taking it over to use it to intercept a Republic Battleship with a traitor general on board. Plenty of fun but won't spoil anything with what happened during the fights, as I said I walked away with plenty of loot. Calling it a night now and next week my plan is to start clearing up some of my old quests and maybe have ago at PVP for the first time.



That's it for this MMO night, was a blast and it as sparked my passion for MMO's again! really looking forward to next week. Might even do a session on Sunday since it's easter and work is closed, until then anyway have a good one.

P.S. Will try to word my MMO night posts better next time and make it more enjoyable to read, will try and explain things better for those who don't play to.
