b'Aprillian, Glanthur and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard\'s great MMORPG.\\n\\nWhat We\'ve Been Doing\\nAprillian:\\nThis has been my best week ever.\\n\\n12/22/08 @ 2141 server time, Aprillian dinged 68.\\n At the advice of Glanthur and Ashayo, she headed to Northrend.\\xa0 It was great and overwelming at the same time.\\xa0 I enjoyed Howling Fjord, the quest were different and fun and I read the quest text.\\xa0 Only got a little confused by the two quest you have to fly to.\\xa0 The first time I did the bombing ship quest, I didn\'t realize I was suppose to drop the bombs from the air, so I flew out and back and had to go again.\\xa0 Each quest were intricate and not the normal kill and loot and return.\\xa0 I loved fighting side by side with our own NPC\'s.\\n\\nPlenty of herbs in NR.\\n\\nI loved the dudes in Baleheim, they were suppose to be these nordic giants but their hair looked like dreadlocks.\\xa0 I hope we get that hair style in the game the next exp.\\n\\nJoined a level 70 for the quest and she immediately popped up Free for all and so I left the group.\\xa0 Plays with her boyfriend, ended up being pretty cool.\\n\\nI continued to play just Aprillian.\\xa0 It was very hard to do, I kept wanting to have my skinner with me or a miner.\\n\\nSummoning Felguard when current one loses health.\\n\\nAnd on Christmas eve she dinged 69.\\xa0 I loved the New Agammand and the gathering of the body quest.\\xa0 The one where you went into the plagued village and made one of those UC guard things and then exploded on the plagued Valkri guys was fun.\\n\\nI am loving the feel of Northrend.\\xa0 Got to the Tusky people, the icebergy look is cool Pumped to get to 70. Christmas day, grinding so hard in NR, it\'s crazy.\\xa0 Aprillian dinged 70 on Christmas even on her lunch hour\\nStarting to have Space management issues. Bought another Guild Bank tab for We Live to serve\\n\\nDid my first Daily.\\xa0 I suppose I need to go to that island now.\\xa0 And no, I am no hurry to get to 80.\\xa0 Went to put on my first gem and it didn\'t work.\\n\\nI am loving flying. Aprillian bought the Mythic Spellthread from Scryer, and made one\\n\\nEncountered Queues on Sunday night.\\n\\nMonday I pulled both Epril and ThePrimall and Auruk down to Nagrand.\\xa0 Epril is 63 and Theprimall is 62, so they can\'t do any quests, but they just followed Auruk and helped him when needed\\n\\nMaking money on the AH\\n\\nTalked with nieces and nephews about WoW at Family gathering, way cool\\nGlanthur\\nAshayo\\nFull week!\\n\\nA second 80 - Asheal dings!\\n\\nTopped and tailed by instance runs on Death Knights. Looks like I\'ll be levelling just by running instances. Running them with 3 DK\'s, 1 Hunter, and Jekle for heals. Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Slave Pens, Underbog. Already 63. Tried keyclone with two DK\'s but because they are both melee, it is hard to position them\\n\\nProfessions: - Stopped \'learning\' from daily inscription research. There are only 60 minor glyphs - 6 per class. You just stop learning ; it doesn\'t say anything useful like "you know them all" - Levelled inscription to 425 so I can use the epic offhand. (Ponfarr PM\'ed me to say that restriction is being removed in the next patch. YAY) - Cooking achievements to get over 3000 - Sous Chef - 100 recipes ; good money making in AH by looks of it\\n\\nDaily quests: - "Aces High!" Wyrmrest quest opens up at 80. Fairly tricky vehicle quest (flying dragon). Much easier in a party - or dual boxing with key clones - Started doing Oracle dailies - three, but varies each day, and an achievement to do them all. Egg that hatches into things including pet or mount... waiting!\\n\\nRespec! - Changed Ashayo from affliction for 1st time ever. Now a hybrid Destruction/Demonology. DPS much improved. Increased from around 800 dps to 1500. Started running some Heroics with Ashayo, and the difference a strong group makeup makes is significant.\\n\\nMissing: Siphon Life CoExhaustion Dark Pact Unstable Affliction Haunt\\n\\nGained soul link Fel Domination Demonic Empowerment Summon felguard'
