It's up!!!!

http://www.infamousnoob.com is now up and running, pointing to my WordPress blog. I'll be working on it over the next few weeks to get it all prettied up. This blog might end up doing something, but I'm not sure what. I'll figure it out as I go.


See you at WordPress!

General Update (complimentary hassles inside!)

Well. A lot has happened over the last few days.

I joined a larger guild with my druid to raid 25-mans. The following two days, we cleared Naxx-10 (Monday and Tuesday), and I got some much needed upgrades. I'm sitting about 1.5% under the hit cap, so I'm still debating on what to cut in favor of hit gems/enchants.

I started a priest. He's level 10. I'm not sure if this character will weather my intolerance of leveling or not.

My warrior has started doing timed runs of Strat for the mount. This is awesome. I was even able to sneak my druid in on one to get the achievement. I'm trying to decide what to get next with my badges. Possibly the mammoth mount.

Old-world and Outlands achievements have started becoming very popular among those who frequent the trade channel. I'm not sure if this trend will continue, but I'm sure I'll pick up what I need for the Classic and Outlands Raider ones at some point. And then move on to the Dungeon Master and Heroic Dungeon Master for each as well. I guess the only achievements I'm not too interested in are the PvP ones for now. And possibly the holiday ones. Those get to be annoying after a bit.

I'm really happy that we're about to start doing the 25-man raids. I've hit a wall with gear for both my warrior and druid until I can get the heroic raid drops, or in the case of my druid, some of the more obscure heroic drops.

All-in-all I'm very happy with this expansion so far, except for the players (as always). Every time I get on the forums, be it the realm forums, the class forums, or the role forums, everyone is complaining about how they got the shaft somehow. I'm hoping that this means that everyone in-game is happy and playing instead of on the forums complaining, but I sort of doubt it. Maybe that's just the skeptic in me.


And of course, the big news for this site is the domain name. I'm still fighting with GoDaddy's setup, and am playing around with WordPress a bit as well. Bottom line is that I want to have the archive of this blog transferred if I can when I get http://www.infamousnoob.com pointed to it. Right now I think it's just some spam that GoDaddy put up. I'm very unimpressed with them so far. Come Monday I might just have to call them and have them walk me through the setup if I can't figure it out on my own. I don't even know if they offer that kind of service, but for as convoluted as their process is to navigate, they absolutely should.

So there's my snapshot of what's happening now. I'm very hopeful that I can have a real site up and running before school starts, and maybe even get some playtime in, too. ;-)
