Happy new year 2007 to everyone!

I had family dinner in New Year's Eve. Was supposed to meet the gang after dinner, the plan was to countdown at Esplanade and then ton over Ritz's house I think. I felt extremely lazy though, the idea of squirming against a million other people during countdown is a total turn-off.

SO. I did the only thing left for me to do. Stay at home and play WoW. Heheh. And hence the journey continues...

From major city Stormwind, I travelled out of homeland to Dun Morogh, land of the Dwarves. I took a tram, or more precisely called Deeprun Tram, from Stormwind to Ironforge (capital city of the Dwarves). The tram was... amazingly real enough! As the tram moves you could briefly see the icy land of Dun Morogh. Beautiful. The tram, however, has no doors whatsoever, so I decided to see if I could fall off of it. I jumped down, and I fell off from the tram, I was like "ZOMG, I'm gonna get ran over and die"





If you enlarge the image, you can see a caring rat accompanying my lonely journey on the tram railway. Okay, so I didn't die and I visited Ironforge for the very first time. It was big, but I think not as vast as the human stronghold of Stormwind. Despite being built on an wintery land, Ironforge looks like a hot place. It is basically a giant furnace where Dwarves get cooked forge things. Near the gates of Ironforge, though, was something else. At one corner sits the Greatfather Winter (another name for Santa?) giving out free gifts! Talk about a delightful surprise.





I unwrapped the gifts and stared in disappointment. It was just some hp/mp heal foodstuff. No 1337 items. So much for worshipping the fake Santa. Anyhow, I'm realy getting addicted to WoW. Yesterday morning was my first Dungeon run at Deadmines. There were like 5 of us in a group, and everyone has a role. Being a Paladin puts me in charge of healing. I have just witnessed how cool my Paladin could be in instances (dungeons). My whole party like, got killed, and I ressurected all of them in a jiffy! And this situation repeated a few times - the boss killed everyone in my team while I dealt the last blow. Then I rez everybody back to life. It was just awesome. They even said I was doing a good healing.

Today I ran for Deadmines again, but only in a group of two people, me and my lvl 60 guildmate. Gotten a lot of scoldings from him for doing accidental aggro pulls, hee. I felt kinda discouraged and turned off for awhile. But I'm still grateful, cause it's not everyday that a level 60 wants to waste their time helping a noob, total stranger at that, at zero benefit. <3 nutty nutz! CA FTW.
