Ding! 55

On my trip out to Arizona, the wifi on the plane was free.  The seat next to me was open.  I thought, I will pull out my laptop and play some WoW and get the warrior I've been playing since launch - yes, launch - from 53 to 55 so I could roll a Death Knight on a new server and farm gold for my lower level toons in Cataclysm.  Well, let's just say this didn't work as planned.  Once connected, I went to speedtest.net and found my speed to be .1 to .8mbps, I figured this wouldn't do.  Tried it real quick, and yep, it was not playable.  So, I watched Back to the Future on my iPhone and took a little nap.

When I got to the hotel, it was about 10:00pm local time.  Fired up the laptop and within 2 hours, was at level 55.  It was a long six years, but I'm feeling uber 1337 now.  If only I knew what the hell a glyph was, I'd be all sorts of WoW Hardcore.

I kind of like my WoW playstyle.  Play for a period of time, and then once I start to obsess, or it starts to feel like a job, or otherwise looks to be on the path to becoming a problem, I'll just kill it for a few months.  Of course, this method doesn't lend itself to grouping or joining a guild, but really, I'm more into the solo stuff.  The nice thing about Cataclysm is that it seems to take the storytelling up a notch.

Happy to say, the Arizona trip did go well, and got some more business.  So all in all, a productive trip.
