Back from the dead (trial ended)

While the posts are getting a bit shorter, a lot has to do with my dwindling time to play.

I was able to successfully upgrade my account to further play WoW for another 30 days (and then some), I guess I am now a fully fledged world of warcraft player.

I decided to go back and finish some of the earlier quests. The way back was quite a long journey on foot and I remember my friend Phil once mentioning the use of horses in this game...sure could use one now. This gave me time to admire the world. When I first designed a 3D world for my game, I cheated using heightmaps and real satellite data of ireland, but whoever made the maps in WoW must have had quite a lot of time to venture of in woodlands and stuff...quite convincing scenery.

I got stumped on one quest that had to do with burying the remains of a guy I killed earlier. I decided to go hunting on google to see if they had any pointers on finding the blasted tomb. Seems this grave wasn't so obvious so it was a good thing I looked it up. If there is one thing I'm greatful about MMORPG is that everyone is online (not like the old days where you had to buy magazines and walkthroughs in Babbages)

One quest done, first on my new 30 day adventure. Time to go to sleep.
