Well, Noor made it to level 35 in a very strange way; by dropping engineering and doing the wild leatherworking quest sequence. Of course, that takes a bunch of turtle scales, and some higher-level leather items that she didn't want to skill up to get before dropping leatherworking and going back to engineering, so she offered to pay people for turtle scales instead of waiting for them to appear on the auction house. I did this over the weekend, and saved about two and a half weeks of battleground quests to make it to 35. Thanks to Cooliyo, Ratchetx, and Ving for help with the scales and LW items.
Unfortunately, that means she doesn't know how to make Flash Bombs anymore, and the goblin in Badlands won't tell her again, so she'll have to rely on friends like Wildbill until the schematic shows up in the auction house someday. Plus, of course, she'll need to jump into Gnomeregan again to re-re-learn how to make a Discombobulator Ray.
She also unintentionally killed a few murlocs by Menethil Harbor by trying to use her Battle Chicken to distract them so she could skill up her lockpicking. Turns out the chicken (level 48 with Noor's 240 engineering) can take out a lot of level 20ish murlocs, and the chicken doesn't have an off switch...
Plus, as already noted, Noor accidentally punched a basilisk in Terrokar while on a naked mining run, so her unarmed skill is now 2. From now on, she keeps her fishing rod equipped, even when naked mining.
Level 35 allows Noor to get 315 engineering (level 63 combat pets) and first aid up to 300 to use netherweave bandages (if I can buy them or get someone to make them). She can make some good money by fishing for Skullfish in Deadwind Pass, and she won't miss 75% of casts the way she did when her fishing was capped at 225 (+132 with fishing gear)
She has Rocket Boots Xtreme in the bank, waiting for level 50, and once I grind her engineering to 315 and get a Zapthrottle Mote Extractor made for her, I'm seriously thinking about dropping mining and switching to tailoring so I can get 300 tailoring and use netherweave nets in BGs...

World of Warcraft = Virtual Crack.
Lets examine the similarities:
1.)Both can be expensive.
O.K., maybe WoW is cheaper than crack, but it can be pretty expensive. $15 dollars a month can add up, especially if you go a while without playing and forget about your account. Not to mention the amount of time spend playing the game. This opportunity cost can be staggering, as you could have spend your time working and making money instead of playing video games.
2.)Both are highly addicting.
Maybe not so much physically, although thats desputable, but definitely psychologically. Have you ever thought about the game when you not playing it? Do you daydream about the game? Do you get anxious when your not playing WoW? I can honeslty say yes to these questions, and I would guess many others would too. Crackheads are the same way. They constantly crave, daydream, and desire the drug.
3.)Both can harm your social life.
By which I mean your "real life" social life, not your friendship with fellow guild members.
And here I thought Magic: The Gathering was crack for gamers... Got a Black Lotus on ya?
Don't listen to them, Brian. Have you successfully gone through any of the missions WITHOUT killing anybody???
This is such an awsome concept!!! Leveling without killing... I play on lightning hoof, Megdiwen Tauren Druid. I also play Magic the Gathering and I think that both have worked out fine for my social life :) I have LAN parties at my house once a month, and we do Magic draft tournaments at work once a month. Keep up the good work!!
The only thing that really competes with Warcraft as far as entertainment time goes, is blogging.
Looks like you have the same damn problem too. This blog is really cutting into my WoWtime. http://magnificentcup.com/blog.html
is the guild on any other servers, because i'm on wildhammer, and i've never
"Noor accidentally punched a basilisk in Terrokar while on a naked mining run."
Perhaps the greatest out-of-context quote from a blog, ever.
Okay, I loved that quote so much I'm using it as the title for my new blog. Hope you don't mind! :)
I absolutely love this :D. Brave of you guys to attempt this. =P
Ahhh I love WoW. I have a level 60 on the Llane server and I have a level 40 something on Agewynn.
:)
Second Skin. a movie about online gamers coming out.
I hope to get married through this game.
