shit I don't know right now, I'm on Day 0 of garrison stuff, I just laid the flag down and saw it rise, logged off. I don't know what entails after that.
It's a good sense of overload I'm feeling. I have so much to read up on. Well, I do like knowing what trend ppl are using to level the fastest. Like if they are straight questing, PVP or dungeoning |

I think questing is the fastest pure way of leveling, but as always with this kind of thing, whatever "feels" shorter to you will be best. If you hate questing and it takes 10 hours to level, but love PVP and can level doing that in 20 hours, you'll probably be way better off doing the PVP route.

I love all routes to leveling, that's the thing, teehee.
I just know I'm behind and don't have much time to work with, but I want to be able to have a toon to run dungeons with when time is alotted to me. |

I don't like the feeling of being rushed. I always play at my own pace. Even when Warlords launched, I didn't hit 100 for like 4-5 days 'cause I was actually reading quest dialog etc. The game isn't going anywhere, no reason to feel like you're being left behind.

I think it's symoblizing him leaving Stormwind w/o a browser or something, maybe Stormwind kicked him out? Stormwind

I want to be able fly already. Getting sick of relying on Wind Riders.
Roll on level 60. Or 65, whichever. |

My recommendations:
Keep the bunker they give you at the start. Build whatever profession building for your first Small Plot. Build Lumber Mill for your first Medium Plot as garrison resources tend to be a bit scarce at the start. Build more crap as you want. Build mine / herb garden / fishing shack / pet menagerie as able Once you get the Town Hall to rank 3 you can move shit as you see fit. I highly recommend going Lumber Mill ASAP though to get resources coming in steadily to start. I didn't do this and really wish I did. |

It's almost like their thinking was in line with:
"Yo dawg, I herd you like Warcraft, so I put some Warcraft in your World of Warcraft so you can Warcraft in your world" Just with the micro-managing, building type and names and what they do, resource gathering/generation, etc. |

Still remember when they first added flying in BC, when I was in the original SMV and first got my flying mount. Legitimate feeling of joy first time I took flight. Felt like a whole new game. |

It was definitely a grind. It's funny how people complain about the "grindy" nature of some aspects of the game today. Vanilla was the woooooooorst grindfest. Timbermaw, Wintersabers, hell ANY of the reputation grinds were absolute monsters.

Definitely more pickup and play friendly now. Still prefer to have a minimum of 2 hours at a time for that game to really feel like I "accomplished" anything.
Unless I was on my Tank - LFG/LFR was pretty much instant and I could get shit done in a hurry. |

There's pros and cons to it. It's definitely way less immersive now and there is zero semblance of community anymore. A lot of my original guildmates I'm still really good friends with, and I simply could not see myself forming those kinds of friendships in the current game environment.
At the same time, I don't have as much time to play as I did back when I was 16 or whatever. So the ability to log in and hop right into a pickup raid is certainly welcomed. Take the good with the bad I guess. |

Over the past year I have spent arguably 80% of my ingame time doing pet battles. It's a watered-down version of Pokemon but has just enough depth that it's surprisingly fun.

I can't help but feel I'm cheating somewhat since I'm starting with the Molten Corgi and the pet I got when I bought WoD.

Considering there's over 700 pets in-game, a little headstart is okay lol

Some are impossible to get though. I think there's 693 that are realistically possible to get. Some other ones were like promotional pets in China and crap.
Even then, a few of those are BlizzCon ones and stuff so the only way to get them is to buy/trade them from someone. Can get pricey. Even with my stupid WoW Pokemon addiction I only have something like 421 unique pets. A bunch of missing ones. |

Nice. Try to keep a Beast pet leveled up pretty decently as you go, makes capturing/defeating the tons and tons of Critter pets you come across much easier. A cat-type Beast is best IMO, Devour gives you lots of staying power in fights

I think you actually get a fair amount of XP for completing pet battles as well, so there's that, too. It's not entirely a waste of time. I think when I was 90/91 I was getting like 10k XP for a pet battle win.

RDD, can my mage from Burning Blade group up with your Shammy in LB?
No harm, no foul cause the Pally on LB will rise, just wondering. I'm an altoholic |

I think if you're grouped up you can pretty much party with anyone. Could be mistaken though. We can try it out tonight.

Yeah my Marksmanship Hunter got nerfed the other day too. Flipside is that it looks like my Arcane Mage got buffed, but still annoying.
