Day 2- Why You Decided to Start a Blog

Hmmm.... This is a pretty deep question... Why would anyone take time out of their busy lives to start a blog, let alone a blog based off a video game???

The easy answer would be for pride and fame. That would be true, if I really did care about that. I mean I do get some satisfaction from seeing that my blog hit the three thousand unique hit mark, but at the same time I really could give a fuck about the number of people that look at it. It is more of a journal about the time I spend in WoW and allows an deeper immersion for me.

Also, there is the hope that I could write one day for a major blog company... I am looking at you wow.joystiq.com... LOL!!

With this WoW blog it's more of a way to look at the general populace and they way they treat a "different" person from the norm. That alone, I feel is an aspect of WoW that has not been explored. So far, it has been terrible if you dont have the best gear and best talents. I know that I can stand outside of fire, run away when needed, and make myself a NON-Burden on the healer....

The last reason, I wanted to have a public platform to write about this, and allow people to speak as well. An active dialogue is probably one of the strongest forms of changes one can have, and if that someone notices this... MORE THE BETTER!!!

The DARKSIDE was Terrible!!! FUCK THEIR COOKIES!

That's Right!!! I did go over to the Dark-Side... and the cookies sucked!!! SWTOR, was terrible... I really didn't get it... There was not a whole lot to do... I know, it is new, but come on!!! Don't release a product that can not even compete on the level of WoW... I can hear all the Fanbois, saying, "Nevernude, its new! They are adding new content everyday! I mean it is on par on Vanilla WoW!!!" 

You know what I say to that??? BULL SHIT!!! 

If I was designing a MMORPG for today's market, I would make sure it was at least on par on with the current ones... Why should I wait 2-3 years for a game with options that I can have now??? Makes no sense to me, and if it doesn't make sense to me, GOD HELP US ALL!!!!

Now I am re-installing and hoping to get my pony back... Blizzard you won this round... May your Dreams be filled with Pandas!!! 

I need a HUG!!!!

The journey to 85, is filled with peril and assholes! I do not know how many times I have straight up been kicked out of groups for having just a sword or a book... Has WoW become full of 3 button mashing monkeys that we have lost sight of what we are really supposed to be doing here... and to answer that question... its not obtaining loot.... or running dungeons under 10 mins... or making fun of people out of spite... It's CALLED HAVING FUN!!!

I have seen it time to time again, if you do not conform, you must not know what you are doing... Hey I have pitched shit about people's specs, equipment, the companion pet they had... but that was a dick move... Even in today's society you are still out casted for not following the norm... sad state if you ask me!

So a Plea to all of you out there, be more accepting... you might learn a thing or two! 

Oh quick update on the 2012 Journey... 

296/2012 levels which is approx 15% not bad... 

I am doing it on three different servers too!!! Grizzly Hills, Arygos, and Emerald Dream! So come and join the fun!

For all your Information!

Duskwood-Conquered!!!

Yes!! I did it!! I finished 45 quests in Duskwood!! This is so hard by the way, Questing... Reason being is you can only fight mobs that are with in five levels of you... well a mob that is 5 levels lower than me, still keeps it pretty interesting... and then if you do any lower level quests, you do not get any experience which sucks, and the mobs do not  give you experience as well.. so basically you are doing nothing in the game except farming low-level critters that do not really drop anything...

The journey so far has been filled with trials and tribulations, but I will keep my head held up high and go forth towards VICTORY!!! See you all in Stranglethorn Vale!!!!

Bane of My Existence: Blastenheimer 5000 Ultra Cannon

It's that time of the month!!! NO!! Not that time of the month, but Darkmoon Faire Time!! WOOO!!!! I am probably not the only one who is super excited about all the fun games that don't reward any experience,

(Yeah, Blizzard if you are reading this... We should get experience for bopping hogger with a mallet, just saying. It takes a lot of skill to run around and hit my hot key at the right time, more so than any other daily of getting X and giving them to Y)

Sorry about that rant... It needed to be said, so with out an further adieu, I present to you!!!!

BANE OF MY EXISTENCE!!!!!

Yep this little Cannon, has caused me so much frustration... and gave me so little satisfaction!

I earn ONE, I said ONE Darkmoon Faire Ticket and 250 reputation with you guys? for what? how about 7 deaths, and 30+ trips back to the cannon, and you want to know how long till I figured out there was a warp back to you???  Just now... Yep that's TWO Months of running back and forth... Not fun!!! But I'll have my day Maxima!!! You will see!!!

I Broke Rule One!!!

"1. NO weapons... you may have an off hand weapon that adds stats. That's it, the item can not add 
          damage. The goal is to reach lvl 80 with level 1 skill in all weapons expect unarmed."


Yeah I did Break it... SO what??? I break all sorts of rules, including the most important ones... LOL!!!

But Nevernude doesn't that make you invalid? I mean you should suddenly just explode because of your dire trespassing against yourself????

NO!!  This is why!!!

 

Yep that is a FOAM SWORD!!! 

(Sad part is my fist have more DPS then this....)

I obtained it from the Darkmoon Faire, which I must say is pretty awesome!!! Running in Dungeons whipping this thing around bonking Scarlet Crusaders in the head!!! 

I still cant use any other attacks other then Thunderstomp and Auto-Attack, since it's not recognize as a melee weapon... LOL!!! 

I did just hit level 30!! You know what that means??? NOTHING!!! Nothing at happens at 30... such a sad day... well I am off to collect more herbs and bonk skeletons on the head!!!

Beginning of the end of society

Lets start with Why and how I am going to do this and want this is...

First This...
This is a Journal of my time in World of Warcraft... Yeah I know lame... but whatever.. its not about swords and magic... its about Near Nudity... WoW does not allow you to be completely naked but pretty damn close. There is Character in the game Named "Gutrot" http://www.wowwiki.com/Server:Aerie_Peak_Europe/Gutrot

Basically He gave the traditional WoW the finger, and said I could do this with out all your fancy items, and he did to level 70 which at the time was the highest level... But, A new expansion came out and the level cap was raised to 80.

I decided to take this challenge on myself, with a Human Warrior because anything else is cheating... Mages, Warlocks, Paladins, Priests, Hunters, and Death Knights, can survive with out items. Rogues just suck so good luck with that...

Now the Why

I have been playing this game off and on, and have been looking for something more and I think I have found it with this style of playing, from the first day there has been controversy and I am going to get in to that later. It has just been alot more fun. End of story!

How...
Here are the Rules...
1. NO weapons... you may have an off hand weapon that adds stats. Thats it, the item can not add damage. The goal is to reach lvl 80 with level 1 skill in all weapons expect unarmed.
2. No armor that adds +Armor, so Trinkets, Rings, hats, capes, whatever that does not add armor is totally acceptable, but remember the goal is to be as nude as possible...
3. Have fun!!!!

That concludes the thesis statement...

Look for me on Grizzly Hills PVE server... The names Nevernude... if you did not know by now
