Played this for the first time in ages at lunchtime. Didn’t do much, really. Had a quest to slaughter some peasants, so went off and duly killed them. Died twice, once because I got surrounded, once because I haven’t played for so long I’d forgotten where I put “Sprint”. No real problems, though. Didn’t find any good loot, didn’t do anything very interesting, but I had fun.

You know you’ve set a buyout price too low for your auction when someone grabs it before your six feet away from the auction house. Bother. I guess that staff I just sold for eighteen gold could have gone for a lot more if I’d priced it correctly. It’s all guesswork, though.

Anyway, I’m happy, because after two days of looking for Jailer Eston I finally found and killed him. Hoorah.

Oh for pity’s sake!

I tried my rogue poisons mission and this time I managed to get all the way to the top of the tower and by some sort of fluke I managed to kill the boss. I had no visible health left when he was died, it was that close.

So all that was left was to open the chest and remove the MacGuffin inside. Except – gnnnnnng – apparently my lock-picking skills are too low to even let me attempt to open the chest. Nothing I could do. I had to leave. So near, yet so far.

Sometimes I really, really hate this game. Now I have to remember where I found some locked chests so I can grind my lock-picking skills. Sounds like fun, eh?

And will I ever manage to beat that boss again? Doesn’t seem likely, at least not for a while.

Still can’t do the poisons quest. I can’t even kill one enemy in the tower. Not a single one. I can’t sneak up on them. They see me if I get within six feet of them. It’s highly annoying.

Went to Ashenvale to deliver some reports. Got ganked several times. Made a night elf run away though by attacking him while he was having some food, though, so that was nice. Ended up only delivering one report then called it a day.

Too. Much. Running.
