typical juvenile behavior.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few days I had a couple of fun moments.\u00a0 Fist, I sold some swiftthistle on the auction house for 4.75 gold.\u00a0 I have no idea what it is used for, so I have no idea why it is so in demand, but with 34 gold in my pocket, I feel rich.<\/p>\n<p>Another fun moment was watching a Tauren enter Dun Algaz as I was traveling to the Wetlands (Menethil Harbor).\u00a0 I decided to follow this nut to see what would happen; I was kind of curious to see if this was the type of player that triggers all the \u2018local defense under attack\u2019 messages.\u00a0 I think Tauren got tired of a Gnome following him, so he started intentionally drawing orc towards me by firing arrows in their direction.\u00a0 After I decimated a couple of orcs, the Tauren grew tired of the game, and left.\u00a0 Good stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I decided to visit the Elves (or at least I thought I was going to visit the Elves), so I took a boat from Menethil Harbor to Auberdine.\u00a0 After a couple of quests and a jaunt in a Cliffspring River cave that resulted in my death and ultimately some satisfying strategy to escape and complete the quest, I started traveling.\u00a0 I finally called it a night in the eastern area of Ashenvale after I kept seeing 27+ level nasty things.\u00a0 I just looked at a map and realized that I should have taken another boat to see the Elves and I was fairly close to Orgimmar (I assume life would have been hell if I made it that far).<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I am having a great time with the same seeing what is next.\u00a0 I think I need to find a guild that has a lot of players around my level, because I am not sure how much harder the game gets without having someone around to help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Am I addicted?\u00a0 Maybe a little.\u00a0 In the last 7-9 days I have managed to take my mage from level 16 to level 21 (half way to 22).\u00a0 Some of the quests are harder playing solo, but I have managed to hook up with some helpful folks.\u00a0 I have also ran into some of the &hellip;
