Orphan Week - Dornaa 4/30/08

This is Orphan Week in WoW so I got a Draenei Girl with Wranngar. Her name is Dornaa. I picked her up at the orphanage in Shatt. I took her to see the Dark Portal, visit her brother in Nagrand and to the Circle of Observance in the Bone Wastes. Then she wanted to go see the Seat of the Naaru in Exodar but I thought she would have more fun doing a couple AV's first. I was right, she had a lot of fun. She wasn't any help in combat though. We didn't win but she got 44 HK's :). She can run fast too, she has no problem keeping up with my Swift War Tiger. Then we went to Exodar to the Seat of the Naaru and she saw that. From there we went to The Caverns of Time. We had to wait a long time before she noticed the Dragon and we could complete the quest. After that I got her a souvenir from the CoT gift shop and we were on our way back to Shatt to get her back to the Orphanage before bed time. All in all a pretty easy fun quest with nice rewards, you get to pick between Elekk Training Collar, Egbert's Egg and Sleepy Willy. I got the Elekk Training Collar

Server Back Up 4/30/08

I guess the server came back up around 7:30PM. I was trying about every 15-20 minutes or so. I went right into AV which also happens to be the daily today. I am really liking Deadly Boss Mods. It gives me all the times on all the graveyards and towers in AV, both Horde and Alliance. Like I said I have been wanting it for awhile and I finally got it.

Aman'Thul Down 4/30/08

I checked again at 7PM and the server is still down. You can check the Realm Status
here but it never seems to be right, it is saying that Aman'Thul is up right now when it is not. I created a new character Whelzely on a US server while I was waiting. The server is Jaedenar and it is a RPPVP server. I will see how that works out, should be interesting to say the least. I got Whelzely up 5 levels in an hour. She is a Night Elf Druid. I am also leveling another Druid on Aman'Thul, Sylventa, she will be Resto spec when I am done. I really like the versatility a Druid gives you. I haven't worked on Sylventa much, she is only level 11 but I do work on her once in awhile when I have my daily's done and am bored with the battlegrounds. That doesn't happen too often :).

Server Update 4/30/08

Well 4PM has come and gone and the servers are still down. They are no longer giving an estimated time as to when the problem will be fixed, they are saying they will keep us updated to their progress. That, to me, means it is going to be awhile.

Servers Down 4/30/08

I tried to log in today and the server was down for Aman'Thul along with a bunch of other servers. I can't complain too much, usually when the servers are having problems Aman'Thul is fine. I took that opportunity to download and install Deadly Boss Mods. First I downloaded WoWMatrix then I used that to install Deadly Boss Mods. The Deadly Boss Mod Add-on gives you the GY and Tower timers in the Battlegrounds as well as how long they estimate to win and who they estimate will win based on current conditions. I have been wanting to get this one for awhile but every time I thought of it I was already playing and didn't want to, or couldn't, leave to install it. So now, if the server ever comes back up, I will have that to use in the battlegrounds. I wanted it mostly for AV as that has so many towers, bunkers and GY's. Anyway they say the server will be back up at 1PM PST which is 4PM my time, which is now so I am going to see if I can log in.
