Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. A full week of WotLK, how are we doing guys? Contest is posted on the blog and we've received some entries. We want more. Aprillian Aprillian dinged 65 and went to train at the Landing.  Wow, expensive! I've decided to move to a new server.  I can't take the queues on ER.  I already have limited play time and having to wait even 10 mins to get in, much less 45 mins is hard.  Plus I play at work and sometimes I have to do something and I'm idle for more than 15 mins or I need to move my laptop from the office to the break room and I'm having to log back in.  I'm in the process of moving 3 characters to Lethon.  I already had a guild there named Ctrl Alt WoW.  So I'm transferring over Iwari, Auntrillia and a new Dranei DK.  Oh and I'm doing another RAF. I have Trez, level 14 Shaman in Eversong woods killing dragonhawks for their eggs.  It's that time of the year again. Monday was a busy busy day.  Transferrin

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. Glanthur joins us. Issues to Discuss: Mail was returned and timer reset, good job. I was amazed at how smooth things went. Yes there were queues, but hey. What We've Been Doing Aprillian Spent time levelling Iwari to 55, so my new account could get a DK. Stood in line at Gamestop, got my c I love my Orc DeathKnight, Then I ran my level 30 mage out to Vengeance Landing via the zep So much to write, hope I remember it all. After the Wrath I am loving my Death Knight. I want an alliance DK, just because I love the way the Dranei DK looks, but I also want four Horde. I don't have any level 55's on any other server. I decided to see if I could transfer a DK to another server on another account, and it worked. Found out from Shat the quickest way to the Zep was through Silvermoon portal If you are grouped when you dual, each win counts for the both. Saw a Rhino in SW, ,way cool Still funny Ashayo In

Lots of complaints about the file Plans for Wed night: Aprillian will be in line at the local Gamestop handing out cards and candy and having a raffle to win a free Authenticator. What We've Done: Aprillian Did random stuff Monday night, all pretty stupid.  Thought it would be good if Aprillian used her cloth cooldowns, but she didn't have any neitherweave cloth so I sent her to grind out by Falcon Watch Tues night, don't know which pair to work on.  Then I decide I want a Devilsaur.  Auntrillia ventured into the Crater alone.  It didn't go well. I took my level 35 Druid, Drame and a level 30 something mage, we died Wed morning took Auntrillia, Rilfire and Aprillian into the Crater and got the Devilsaur. It's amazing. I'm hopelessly lost with the RAF.   Two days left. Decided to focus on my Mage.  I gave her some levels and now she's 38.  Took her to the Flats,   Then she had to go to Dustwallow marsh fo

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s great MMORPG. We start off with a discussion of the Scourge, good or bad?  Fun! What We've Been Doing Aprillian Right after recording, I logged on to my "Scribe" because I had remembered the cooldown and I learned a new minor glyph for warriors.  I'm loving it. Did some HH in Brill and Razor Hill. Sunday night I got caught up with getting everyone around to get the xp in all the pumpkins.  I was alternating summoning alts on the ref and mast account and then getting fps and then doing it again with different pairs and of course getting flight paths Tuesday I got my "new" MacBook Pro.  It's not the newest one, but for $1400 I got 2.5gh, 250 gig hd and 512 vram.  It's big and smoking. Dual boxing with cellular modem is like buttah.  Then I finally solved what I considered the Holy Grail of my Dual Boxing.  I suppose when you are living alone, the sounds of WoW are not an issue.  When Hubby isn't home, I usually have both co

By the time we are recording, we should all be knee deep in Patch 3.02 What We've Been Doing Aprillian Spent Sun afternoon getting Kapril, Drainei pally to 30.  Went to Menethil Harbor with Aloq and finished the cursed crew quest.  Ran into a Nelf Hunter and buffed her with underwater breathing.  Afterwards she saved me when I was fighting the Captain, and Kapril Dinged 30 in the help opening the footlocker.  She hearthed to Exador and summoned Aloq and went to the Pally trainer and got her pally mount and riding skill and bought an Elek, I love it.  So now I am going to get Aloq to 30 and then leave my alliance alone.  Sunday night I got Aloq to 30 and hearthed to SW and then Summoned Kapril and then ubby called me for dinner.  After I logged on, got the Warlock training and then the mount.  Then we rode across the map and bought a horsey Monday night spent most of the time trying to level my 27 mage Tiiaa

Levelled my 8 lock to 14 and my Pally to 16 and 18 Tues.  Wed, we are back in the Dranei area and a level 70 ne shows up and hits a kill, I chastised him for lowering the xp. Thursday night, again on Kapril Dranei Pally and Aloq Human Warlock, got them to 24 and 22. Did some PTR.  Transfered Aprillian over and got hair cut, found out that once she learns the nether welpling, she can mail it to another alt, even though I transfered her to that account from the actual Collector's edition. Friday Morning, Aloq has the succu

Full Show Notes at http://ctrlaltwow.com   What We Did   Aprillian   Sunday I totally reevaluated my RAF technique and realized my RAF accounts should be easy toons and the ones on my Referred account should be throw away leaving some low level to up level.  I botched up in that I should have made all hunters on the referred account.   Then I became obsessed with getting a yeti   Ran Primall and Iwari around until Primal got to 41 and got to wear mail and Iwari got to 50.  I'm not sure how many levels she  has to grant, pretty sure it's been 2 since I transferred her.  She was also able to level up Engineering and I wasted time on that. cc   Friday night I took Drame and Queaa into WC with Ardrion.  We cleared and did the last escort quest.  That was fun   Sat, back to reevaluation.  First I made a Shaman on the master account thinking I would use the lower level (10-25) to get that one up.  I realized it s

Episode 81 - Brewfest Time, Drink Up Game Stop showed up on my iPhone caller ID and even before I saw this thread I answered "Oh WotLK Collector's Edition is ready for preorder! I was at work and with a customer and needed to get on and off the phone really quick. The Game Stop guy was like how did you know. I just said, I'll be there in an hour. I work across the street from the mall. I didn't bother to say, why else would Game Stop be calling me, to see how I'm doing? Check on my kids? Brewfest tickets can be converted into Brewfest coins, but you probably already know this.

I brought in yet another bank alt, Mi a level 3 Belf Warlock male who was sitting in Undercity. Summoned him to Mulgore and got him to 6 and Drame to 5 and went to Silvermoon. A Tauren in Silvermoon is funny.  Wed Ran Drame and Mi around Eversong woods while on break and lunch at work and got them to 10.  Back there Thurs morn. Oh collected eggs while there, levelled up skinning on Mi. Since they were outmatched on these hawks, I had them use their "melee" weapon, sword on Mi and Staff on Drame. But then I realized Drame needed training he couldn't get from the Belf area, so he hearthed home, and trained and then I summoned him to TB

Episode 78 - Saving Frequently What We've Been Doing Aprillian Crazy whacky mayhem trading off alts in Scarlet Monastery just to get to the dog keeper and get a blue drop. First Aprillian with Suyna, easy at level 64 she and her Felhunter take charge. Swapped out Iwari so Primall, on Aprillian account, could join and get the RAF bonus. Iwari couldn't hold aggro. Brought in Treshel, was a little better but even she died. Note: Even if you don't click the accept button on the RAF summon, the timer resets. On Wed, I took a bunch Suyna 22, Primal 22, Ishaq 20 and Lucerferus 12 into SFK. I'm loving the Priest. I'm loving grouping with me. Changed some profession, made Primall an enchanter, made Ishaq a miner/engineer Then went back to Camp T area with Primall/Suyna and Ishaq, decided to make 30 my goal for the weekend.

Episode 77 - Why didn't I think of that Technical Difficulties What We've Been Doing Aprillian So back in WSG with Primall when someone asks again, why I'm in there at level 14. "Why don't you go level to 19" and I thought well I do have unitl August 24th. Plus, I have the extra speed from the refer a friend. So I had Treshel take Primal, Pri level 20 Rogue, and Suyna level 13 Warlock into RFC and by the time we were done we were 16. Tonight I'll go to WC and get to 19. I only took Pri for the bag space. Now that I have the gbank for my allie alts, I thought I would move my main bank alt to SW and pulled another alt to BB so Relaq can play more. Got up early tuesday morning to see if there was no maintenance and ended up running part of the way into WC. BTW Refer A Friend, or RAF can summon into instances. Very nice. I knowI 've gotten overly obsessed with RAF. Cleared WC did all the quest exc

It was nice to be back on a hunter againThursday morning got in a fishing mood.  Got Rilfire to 275 and g

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. The title comes from the fact that I have to go to a stupid family reunion . What We've Been Doing: Aprillian I don't know what to do, if anything, with Ardrion. I have a certain fondness for him. He was originally named Ctrlaltwow when I started him on the server. He is now 43 and at 300 in LW, 300 skinning and 275 cooking. But to do anything else, he has to get to 50. Right now he's good for making armor kits for my lower level Rilfire was fishing and not leveling, checked her skill window and she was 225/225. Did a quick search and found she had to go to Dustwallow Marsh and get a fishing quest. Surprised I hadn't done it sooner. She had to fly and ride to two different spots on both continents and fish until she got some speccial fish. Didn't take too long, just wish she had done it sooner and she would be levelling. Of course she got fish that she might be able to sell. Monday night I got a little treat

They are selling like hotcakes. I wonder if it has anything to do with the latest info on pets in the Expansion. Authenticator and 3 accounts are fun. Aprillian made a Spellfire bag (28 slot enchanter) for Auntrillia and bought a 20 slot Enchanter's Satchel, from the vendor in Thrallmar for like 12g. She equipped the spellfire bag, and put the satchel in her bank, buying a new slot for 25g. So now Auntrillia can de to her heart's content Saturday morning Triple boxed in Outland, completing some quests that Apriliian had and the other 2 had done, and then they did the pooh quest together a
