ugh… It *has* been almost 3 weeks since my last post. My only excuse: The 4-boxers were in Gnomer, which can make a person downright suicidal. I heard rumor that the gnomes were getting the upper part of Gnomeregan back, but that the instance would be preserved. Why?
To be fair, I don’t mind the layout of Gnomer, in the context of old-world instances. It is long. It is winding. There is no map, and no back door out of the place. None of this offends me at all. I like it, in fact. At least, I would if the stuff I killed would STAY FREAKIN’ DEAD!!!!!!!
Srsly, that is my complaint. IF you wipe, you have basically reset the instance, since everything is respawned. I can’t imagine who thought that was a good idea. As if the frustration of everyone dying wasn’t bad enough, you now get to start the entire process over.
But, the girls progressed to level 30, I got reincarnation, and moved on to the Scarlet Monastery. Stuff still comes back to life, but not nearly as much.
The graveyard feels so anti-climactic. I got through the torture room, past the courtyard, down into the crypt and killed big, bad, what’s-his-undead-face. Looked around a bit and realized ‘I guess that’s it.’
So that’s it. I ground Gnomer until I didn’t have to anymore, managed to psychologically recover, and moved on. I have a screen shot of the 4 boxers in action. I will post it as part of my next entry.
’till next time!
