Internet Woes

Hi again,

Just a very brief update to say that my internet has been connected, but is STILL not working. It seems they have given me the wrong username/password to connect to it. GAH!

As an aside, I had a GREAT Christmas and am looking forward to New Year! Although yesterday I had one of my wisdom teeth removed, I feel great :)

Also, can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but my Guild has dropped all available 10-man content and is building up toward the 20-man content.

ARG! How could I forget?! My account got HACKED! I suspect it was when I checked my auctions at a mate's place; I think one of his mods has a keylogger on it. As I was away and had no internet, I couldn't report it. Luckily, Blizz stepped in and suspected my account was compromised and reset my password for me and restored my toons. YAY! I will have to wait until my 'net is working to double-check (NOT using my friend's computer again!) and my Guild is already aware that is WASN'T ME that raided the Guild Bank :S I'm hopful that Blizz will be able to retore the stolen items as well.

That's it for now.

Reincarnate

Good morning all.

It has been a long time since I've posted here on the blog. There are a many number of good and valid reasons for this, but I will not prattle on. Instead, I will move straight to the juice, so to speak, and give an overview of what has been happening in the life of Raitin between April and now.

First of all, I have not stopped playing WoW. Not once. Since my last fateful post of attempts on The Curator (oh how that seemed so long ago) many things have happened for my little in-game friend:

My Guild broke up. Won't go into details, but basically people stopped showing up and/or caring. So I followed another (ex)guildie to another Guild that happened to need a Rogue and was running Kara. The Guild is Nexus. After about two weeks, we were clearing Kara without a problem. We got a second team running. We had 25 people willing to take it up a notch, so we started on TK.

As you may be aware, TK (imho) has a higher learning curve than SSC, but we were committed. After a few weeks of wiping on Al'ar, we decided to take the fight to Void Reaver and Solarian. Both went down in the first week without a hitch. We had those two on farm and continued attempts on Al'ar while we decided to branch out into SSC.

After around four weeks, we had everything except Vashj on farm. Things were looking sweet, people were getting geared, we had a dedicated team, life was good. We started working on MH. We downed Winterchill and had attempts on Anetheron(sp). At this point we were very close to our 'sister-Guild', Tempest, and many of our member were getting taken on their BT farm-nights. Myself included.

Then something happened. "The Nerf" happened. As you are no doubt aware, just before WotLK, Bliz decided to drop the HP on all Raid Bosses by around 30%. Needless to say, this made things much easier for everyone. Now we had everything up until Azgalor in MH on farm, excluding Kael'Thas in TK and Vashj in SSC, but Tempest was happy to take our guys on their farm-nights. I was a 'regular' in both Guilds, learning the content, getting geared and most importantly, having fun. I can now say I have cleared all pre-WotLK content except Sunwell. We did attempts on the 1st boss, but no such luck.

Now Wrath of the Lich King has arrived. In the month that it has been out, I've reach level 80, replaced a few of my 70-Epics and am running Heroics almost non-stop. Nexus has started raiding Naxx10 with two groups, but I am not a part of either group YET. My wife and I have just purchased our first home and my internet STILL hasn't been reconnected. I'm typing out this blog at work, by the way.

I'm also going away for Christmas with my wife to sunny Queensland, but I'm hoping that by the time I get back, my internet will be connected and I'll be back full-swing into WoW-mode. Just a few more minor-upgrades from Heroics and Rep and I'll be fit to jump straight into Raiding. I can't wait!

Well, that's the story so far. I actually will try update this blog as exciting stuff happens. Speaking of which, I'm no longer Fist spec. After BT I was Mace spec for a while, but since I hit 80 I am currently Sword spec, as they are easier to come by. Assassination doesn't thrill me that much; I'm a Combat Rogue all the way! After we start running Naxx25, I'm hoping Kel'T drops a little present for me...... Look it up on WoWHead: Calamity's Grasp. Then I'll be all over Fist/Dagger like a fat kid on a cupcake!

Peace.
