World of Warcraft: Dragonflight (release day)

The two previous expansions for World of Warcraft, Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands, has both been huge disappointments.

I always try to avoid information about the next expansion to have a fairly untouched mind when it’s released. It’s impossible to avoid everything though, but that’s okay really, and some of the things I’ve seen and hears looks sweet!

I sleep and are awake several times every day/night, and the timing to wake up now was pretty good since the release of Dragonflight was only a couple of hours ago.

However, the release of a new expansion is never streamlined, and nor is it this time. 🙂

If anything, Blizzard always make sublime cinematics for launches, and this one is not an exception. Check it out:

World of Warcraft: Some character screenshots, and their names

I’ve been playing this game since 2007 (I think it is), and I still do. I take some breaks now and then, but I play it fairly often.

For historic reasons I thought maybe it’s time for a few screenshots of some of my characters. Mostly because of their mogs, and some for their names. I will also have a quick explanation for their names if there’s a point to it.

I haven’t done many screenshots since I got a new gaming PC, so the graphics are much better than it used to either way.

HORDE

Blood Elf Demon Hunter: There’s demon – and there’s…
Vulpera Death Knight: Cniht is Old English writing for Knight
Undead Warlock: Infuriator is the name of a song by the Swedish band RAM. I consider this character to be my main Horde
Undead Mage: Vooligan is in relation with the Australian band Karnivool. I actually have a hat from them with that word on hit. I guess Vooligans are fans of the band, and is a wordplay on Hooligans
Vulpera Warlock: Frehley is a tip of the hat to Ace Frehley (a founding member of the band Kiss). I’m not a huge fan of Kiss, but Ace Frehley rules

ALLIANCE

Gnome Warrior: Kebabnissen. It’s hard to explain this name. It’s just a funny one. Kebab is the tasty dish, and Nissen can be translated to gnome I guess
Kul Tiran Druid: Deathstimate is the name of a song by Therapy?
Gnome Mage: Hellbelly is the name of a song by Therapy? too
Mechagnome Monk: Cybertron (Primus) is the home planet of the Transfomers
Gnome Warlock: Astroneer is a game I play from time to time. It’s my go to game for relaxation. This character was and was supposed to be named Astronaut. He was before I moved him to a different realm, where that name was taken. I consider this character to be my main

There we go, a little overview of some of my characters. Not all are level 60 yet, and I have close to 50 characters overall. Some are very low level though.

World of Warcraft: WoW Classic

The classic version of WoW will be released soon (August 27th I believe it is), and yesterday we could finally pick 3 character names each.

This is what the queue looked like (~7100) to log into the game, not even 15 minutes after they made it available:2019-08-12 - WoW Classic Pick character names queue-Web.png

Two minutes earlier the queue was over 10k – and approx. 45 minutes estimated time to log in. Since people were only creating characters they weren’t logged on for that long I guess, so the queues went down quickly. 🙂

World of Warcraft: Gnome Heritage Set

Heritage sets have been around for a while in World of Warcraft, but for the gnome race it was introduced in v8.2, which was released a few days ago.

I decided to just get the set asap since I like it so much, and here it is:2019-06-28 - Kebabnissen-Gnome Heritage Set Combined.png
