Faction Identity Crisis: Why the Alliance Still Feels Like Home

I have been playing on the Horde for the last few weeks, even before I posted the last post below, but I guess I will always be an Alliance player. I miss so much of the Alliance designs in the buildings, and the areas I love to hang out in are Alliance only, so I feel out of place when I’m in them with a Tauren. I guess there’s a reason why I have been playing Alliance for so long. I used to…

Embergrove Ashenleaf

I felt like I wanted to make this an update and an introduction to my newest character that I have been enjoying playing. I needed a change. Character Backstory Embergrove Ashenleaf once walked the quiet forests of Gilneas as a humble herbalist, tending to the trees and healing the sick with ancient remedies passed down through generations. But when the Worgen curse ravaged his homeland,…

No Raids, No Mythics, No Problem: Just a Casual Journey Through Azeroth

I find myself as a casual player on wow this coupled with the fact that I don’t really want to learn classes and just absolutely spam so many buttons that I really don’t wanna play I don’t have time for that but I do have time for is to just play the way I want, and I have been using add-ons to make one button macros for years under the assumption that I it’s allowed in the game being that one…

Well Needed Change…

It’s that time again. Switching sides to the Horde for once. I always have the itch to go play the other side of the game. There have been times where I played a whole expansion with one of the sides, but it’s been about close to 9 years of playing on the Alliance without going over to the Horde. I feel it’s time for some change. I just need to pick a character, but I want to change up my class…

The earliest memory of your moment in World of Warcraft

Favorite Zone in World of Warcraft

When I think of what zone I like spending the most time in, it’s got to be Westfall. I have a ton of memories playing and leveling in that zone when I was first starting out. It’s mostly because I didn’t know much about the game and I found myself just hanging out in the zone. I was slow at questing at the time. The zone’s story was a cool one too. I love the whole CSI crime starting to the area…

Reading back my old Posts

I just wanted to give a little update on my night, tonight I was reading some of my old posts that I wrote when I first started this blog and it’s bringing back so many memories that I have had locked away. I would have never unlocked them if I wasn’t reading them. I’m finding that ever since I started this blog more than 10 years ago there was a goal. The goal to record and share my experiences…

Current Project

I have been working on a project for my World of Warcraft account. I love to play alts and that seems to be what I have been doing most of my time on this game. This project is no different. I have set my goal to get all my alts (One of each class) to 70 to make sure I’m ready for The War WithinTM I haven’t been able to really get excited for a new Expansion Pack in a long time. Mostly because I…

Happy New Year 2024!

Well it’s that time of year again. I hope to make it a really good year for content on my blog as I have been lacking for a few years. This seems to be the longest running blog that I have had for years. It’s something I have been proud of and it’s my corner of the internet. That being said I want to get it going again, as I’m casually playing video games and I would like to blog more going…

Working on Loremaster Achievement

Well the last few months I have been working on getting the Loremaster achievement done for my main hunter. I think it’s going to take quite a while before I can get everything finished. But I have been working on it when I don’t find anything else to do in the game. I have a few things like that I love to do like transmog runs to fill out the collection. I think I love doing that so much because…

FOR THE HORDE!

I guess around December I decided to switch from being an alliance player to the horde. I needed something new for a while. There was no guilds that were casual enough for my play style of today. So I will continue to play as a tauren hunter, which is my main character and always will be. I’m happy to add a Tauren Warlock to my list of characters. I have made him this past weekend and I have been…

Been Streamin'

So I have been streaming over at twitch.tv/themythicaloak and I have been having a lot of fun lately. This is something new that I have been into for a little bit. I have been pumping up my production as of late. I still don’t have a face cam but I will in the future. As for right now I have been just getting used to streaming for a long time at a time. I’m used to taking a lot of breaks when…

Trading Post

New Post, I know it's been a while but here it is.

Well I have been playing some wow for a while and I think I found something that I can enjoy for a while, the trading post is something that I have been waiting for, for a long time. I find myself lost on what to do in World of Warcraft without a checklist or some kind of list that I can follow or else I’m just sitting in a city wondering what to do. The trading post is revolutionary for me. It…
