11:50am: I am sitting in Stormwind. Stormwind is a raging clusterfuck. I no more than step onto those scuffed cobblestones that I call my home and I am ganked by 80s. GANKED I say! Like the miserable under-leveled Pally that I am. In my own God damn land. I don’t see people getting stomped about in Orgrimarr. I’m going to blame this gankage on the fact that I am level 75 and Stormwind has caused my computer to have a headache.
And I’m not speaking of those calm, demure, gentle throbbings but those *I’m not feeling very well* reigns of terror which my non-existent wife has. My computer has dropped down to 20fps. 20! This is when I’m looking away from those fiery-burned towners. When I’m looking directly at them it becomes 10.
This is because there are 1000 people simply waiting by the sign.
12:01am – The dogs are screaming. “BLIZZ TROLLED US” “BLIZZARD LIED TO US” “I WANTZ TO BECOME WORGENZ!!!” “BLIZZ IS SHIT!” “I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR THIS! RAWRRRRR!” The dogs are out and angry. Oh it’s so fun to watch!
12:04am – I’m not even going to tell you what is being uttered by them. Your grandmother might wash out your ears with dish soap.
12:05am – Blizzard sends us a yellow message. “*Cataclysm is now updated, please exit the game completely and enjoy the game. Thank you. ”
My head starts filling with dreams of grandeur. Perhaps I could be the first level 85 Worgen. Oh, it would be glorious. I’d actually not fancied the idea of being a Worgen. I much prefer a Goblin but as we are currently on a PVP server, I am resigned to try them. In addition, I’m saving Goblins for after the others…like when you save your dessert for last. Immediately we both log off and log back on and…DISCONNECTED!
Apparently blizzard has tricked us. They schemed a way for us to log off so that the log on server could slap us in the face. How cruel. How unjust.
What’s that you say, Richard? You’ve logged on. You’re creating a character? why? Why me? I’m losing precious Worgen kickassery time.
Success!
…Still on success!
…..Still on.. success means completed right? Success usually means completed.
No Richard, I don’t care how cool it is. God damn you.
Finally I create my character. The starting area really surprised me with its immersiveness and movie-like quality. I’m not going to spoil anything for you with this blog post because you probably haven’t played yet but I strongly urge you to give it a try. It’s quite fun.
Oh and Richard eventually got dc’d while I continued to play. Oh the sweet justice!
The problem I’m having now is that I’m seeing the druids…and the hunters…and I’m jealous. I want to play them all. Which one will I play most? Blizzard has won.
Protip: When you find a vehicle which may or may not catapult you into the distance: cruise around in it! Don’t just use it for launching, use it for running over other players! The Glaive Mobile is the surefire way to get all the ladies.
Protip 2: You must wait until level 10 to use this protip. Well, no, you can use it after level 4 or so but…it’s more exciting at level 10. It’s like a gift that I put under the tree – don’t touch it! Don’t shake it! Wait!

Oh and apparently Worgen dance exactly like I do.
Update: You might want to turn your General chat off..the Worgen starting area is a bit like 4chan: Dirty, raw and miserable.
