So I was wandering around Silvermoon when a Tauren gave me a quest, which was win a match in Warsong Gulch. So I decided to give it a try. All I knew was that it was some sort of PvP thing. Turns out it’s a Capture the Flag gam, played between teams of Alliance and Horde. Jumped into a match that we lost within a couple of minutes of me joining. Then I joined another match from the start. I couldn’t do much, as I’m only level 21 and everyone else was 28/29, but I helped on quite a few kills. We won that match and I completed my quest and got a lot of honor points. Not quite sure what they are or what they do, but I think it might be something to do with the guys I’ve seen in cities with blue question marks over their heads. Not sure. Anyway, it’s good fun, if appallingly laggy.
Oh, and I got up to Exalted status in Tranquillien and got my posh cloak.

Right, yes.
Today I spent most of lunchtime travelling or dead. I did get a couple of quests done in Deatholme, but it was a highly frustrating hour or so.
I only seem to have two quests left in Tranquilien, both of which require groups, so I won’t be doing them. Annoyingly, I’m only 750 points off reaching Exalted status and being able to buy a special cloak. Maybe I need to farm some more rotting hearts and spinal dust.
Not sure what to do next. My rogue poisons quest seems to be impossible to do at my level and the only other quest I’ve got takes me from The Barrens into contested territory, where I’m sure to be ganked every couple of steps.

A somewhat frustrating lunchtime spent teamed up with someone who didn’t speak English and didn’t share a quest.
Still, I got one of my quests done and got up to level twenty, so it wasn’t wasted time at all.

This lunchtime I killed a lot of trolls. And then poisoned their food for good measure.
But they were bad trolls, so that’s okay.

Somehow, logging on to check my auctions saw me run around Silverpine Forest for an hour or so completing a couple of quests. That wasn’t meant to happen.

Quick session today got me sent off to the Undercity to deliver a necklace.
Now I have the choice of going back and doing missions in Tranquillien or doing some quests in the Forsaken areas.
The Forsaken quests look a bit too easy – i.e. will get me no XP – but I’m struggling with the Blood Elf quests I’ve got left. Tricky.

This lunchtime my rogue teamed up with someone for the first time. I got to a quest destination at the same time as a Warlock and, as we were both obviously doing the same thing, he invited me into a group. So we ran around together killing night elves, completed the quest and then I left the group because it was time to stop playing games and get back to work.
Quite nice, was that.

My rogue is now level fourteen and has some fun powers. I especially like Garrote, which makes the “Kill X of Y” quests much quicker. Had a lot of trouble stealing some plans from a Dark Elf ship yesterday, but got there in the end.

Time spent downloading and installing updates:16 hours. (It’s been a long time since I last played on the PC here.)
Time spent playing: 15 minutes, just to show my wife what it looks like.

I spent the first few minutes of today’s session dying over and over again, then didn’t die for the rest of the day. Odd.
Anyway, I killed some monsters, assassinated a dwarf, turned some guys into giant pig things and learned skinning and leather working so I could make myself some decent new armor. All looks a bit homemade but, well, it is.
Very good day overall. Tomorrow I’m going to try and hit level ten so I can finally dual wield some daggers.
