I brought in Aprillian to do Tusker and when they were done, they got the achievement

What We've been Doing Aprillian Doing a couple of dailies a day on Aprillian. Mostly trying to get my DK's up so they can play with her. Friday Morning, grinding in Nagrand with theprimall. Didn't realize it was possible for a zombie to loot. Theprimall dinged 63 at 7:11am on Friday and I've been playing her straight through on the train to Washington. She's grinding in the Spirit field, there are mobs galore. Got to 63.5 by BWI Airport at 12:30p In the Train station grinding the Vir'Ani and killed an Arcanist, a Four of Lunacy dropped In Chicago playing in the First Class Lounge, Theprimall dinged 64. She went to the Consortium's camp and turned in over a 100 [Oshu'gun Crystal Fragment]. Then I lo

Aprillian, Glanthur and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. What We've Been Doing Aprillian: This has been my best week ever. 12/22/08 @ 2141 server time, Aprillian dinged 68. At the advice of Glanthur and Ashayo, she headed to Northrend.  It was great and overwelming at the same time.  I enjoyed Howling Fjord, the quest were different and fun and I read the quest text.  Only got a little confused by the two quest you have to fly to.  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.  Each quest were intricate and not the normal kill and loot and return.  I loved fighting side by side with our own NPC's. Plenty of herbs in NR. I loved the dudes in Baleheim, they were suppose to be these nordic giants but their hair looked like dreadlocks.  I hope we get that hair style in the game the next exp. Joined a level 70 for the quest and she immediately popped up F

Aprillian, Ashayo and Glanthur discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s great MMORPG. What We've Been Doing: Aprillian Had 2 sex changes - Theardrion became Epril and Rifire became Auruk Brought Death Knights to Nagrand and did some other fp's in Outland with Aprillian DK can kill mobs 4 or 5 levels above them. Decided I wanted to do some instances with my DK's, tried Hellfire Citadel, doable but lots of time is needed and concentration.  Then I tried upper and lower Black Rock and then Strolohome in EP.  It was fun, but then I went back to Nagrand with Aprillian and Auruku Got Ding Recorder Addon and Epril dinged 63 but it didn't show the interface so all you see is her in a could of ding dust.  Read the info and found out how to turn on "show interface" Got my Figure Print of Aprillian: [IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/AprillianAIE/AprillianFP.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll317/AprillianAIE/AIETabard.jpg[/IMG] Bought a Sun Scope +40 Haste for A

New weekly prize contest - enter a drawing to win one month's play time. What We've been doing: Aprilian Got Aprillian in Nagrand with Rilfire and grabbed every quest I could find.  Using Cartographer and Gatherer.  Funny thing is when Rilfire arrived, she had no ammo, just had her do hunter's mark and send in her ravager while Aprillian and her Felhunter did the rest.  Picked up the Nessingwary quest Monday morning, off today!!    Did some of the Nessingwary quest and Aprillian dinged 66. Tuesday morning, no maintenance, just server restarts.  Sent ThePrimall back to Thrallmar to level up herbalism, she was 300+ but needed 315 for Dreaming glory in FW.  Sent Theardrion back to Kalimdor to mine thorium and truesilver for JC.  Although I'm sure I could just do quest in Outland and use all the gold I make to buy the mats I need. I was in Dalaran with TheJasper enchantin

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

Aprillian and Ashayo discuss another week of playing World of Warcraft, Blizzard's great MMORPG. 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

Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 84 - Another World in World of Warcraft 36 Boxer:  http://www.ripten.com/2008/10/10/wow-whore-has-36-accounts-raids-by-himself/ What We've Been Doing Aprillian After all I thought about doing, leveling my 40's to 60, I decided to get my 24's to 30, and then decided to level my alliance toons.  Sacrilege I know but think about it.  How else would I endure the alliance? 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.

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?
