A Party Atmosphere

You must know that I couldn’t resist. After reading about the hubbubbub and the bruhaha on the Warcraft Medivh server over the giant influx of level one spectators, tourists and jagoff wannabes, I just have to see for myself.

Now here’s the thing, I’m just here to observe. I understand the mathematics of queues and lag, but I didn’t design this community event and I’m not in charge of allocating Warcraft hardware resources, so all I’ll say is “Congrats Medivh” and “This is the price of fame”, I’d also say “cry more” and “too bad, so sad”, but I’m trying not to be a douche.

AFK Gamer has a small team of reporters covering the Medivh globe; screenshotting our way from graveyard to graveyard on our epic journey to Silithus.

01/17/06 — HOUR ONE

The first thing to greet us, other than Welcome to World of Warcraft, was the spammed guild invites to the tourist guild. What a friendly server!

Guild Invite

We left soon after joining the tourist guild because damn, unless they have a warlock to summon us straight to Cenarion Hold in Silithus, what’s the point?

We were soon to realize, however, that the natives were not as friendly as our tour guides.

More later as we edit raw screenshot feeds and witness the mayhem history …

Sometimes raids just don’t go your way. Be it stealth afk’s, the stars misaligned, stupidity, or Blizzard (probably the biggest reason), you wind up wiping. I have noticed that regardless of how bad things are some people just refuse to die. They will do anything in their power to make sure they kill whoever just got divine intervention and to delay your attempted CR. Thankfully, I have the ability in certain encounters to ensure said wipe happens in a timely manner.

Warcraft Politics

When I’m redoing the Warcraft noob instances for the 40th time, on the 6th alt, of the 2nd account, I can’t help but consider the political implications of my task at hand. Take the Stockades of Stormwind, for example. The objective is to kill all the prisoners of war in the dungeon. ??? They’ve lost control in the prison and their solution is to massacre the whole lot?

Geneva Convention violations

After this conflict is over, I’m not taking the heat for The Stormwind Stockades Massacre. I was just following orders.

I’m trying a new approach with the professional farmers in Warcraft. We’ve already established that I have no skillz at all with the Asian languages; they have trouble with English. Perhaps one of the European languages could be a middle ground.

Lo Siento

Spanish was a no go.

I can always fall back on the universal language that all humans understand. (No, it’s not love.)
