My Official Retirement from WoW

After 4 years playing World of Warcraft with my hubby and our family and friends during Burning Crusade followed by Wrath of the Lich King then quit we quit during Cataclysm and I came back to test Mist of Pandaria, I decided to finally quit WoW to play Tera Online with my Castanic Priest, just not only to play Tera and other MMOs, is because WoW has lost it’s true fun, now everything is easy the game used to be hard and you always where praised by the people who where having fun and working to get their own stuff without ninja it or drama over silly things. I still miss it, but wow just wasn’t giving me what I wanted from gaming anymore. My Night Elf Druid, Luminar, will always be my favorite character I’ve ever played and she will always be in my heart. I’m going to leave inactive my WoW blog: http://lumis-sketchblog.tumblr.com/ and this blog too.

WoW used to have 12 millions subscribes, but last time I heard it went down to 7 millions of subscribers, why? Is because Blizzard decided yo kill the game with copy pasted old modified content, Cataclysm should had been a phased new area so people could see what happened before the shattering to follow the lore progression. The talent tree system disappeared from the game, some few helpful abilities got removed from each class when Pandaria launched, the class used to be unique and different from others now they share almost the same benefit, the game was hard, leveling was hard, classes get too much nerfs from people complaints who can’t play with their own class because x class was too overpowered that their x class, Blizzard instead of making and keeping the game fun is focusing  a lot on money and the crybabies, you needed to group with other people to complete a group quest and success as a teammate in a heroic or raid.

My hubby keeps playing WoW: Cataclysm in a private server, our family and friends moved to play other games and for me I moved to play Tera Online, Ragnarok Online 2 (I think is on beta test for NA), League of Legends, DOTA2, Lineage 2, RaiderZ and other games waiting to try Guild Wars 2, Elders Scrolls, ArcheAge and may be Stars Wars. WoW graphic engine is very outdated and I prefer Tera’s graphic and the gear design is beautiful including the environment, I like so much the combat system.<3 Yeah, as people will say Tera is pretty and shiny and I’m loving it, some of few of my friends started to play Tera too. Also I started recently to work on my Castanic Priest’s drawing. I made a Tera Blog for her too: http://sakurasu.tumblr.com/ and http://adiaryofacastanicpriest.wordpress.com/  http://a-diary-of-a-castanic-priest.blogspot.com/ So this is my farewell for World of Warcraft, thank you for the memories and fun I’d!!!  ;-;

This is what I wrote in Tumblr a few days ago. :O

:D My Druid reached lvl 90! Which toon I should level next?

>w< My apologies for my late update guys! Yeah, after the 7 day trial Blizzard sent expired on the day of my 26th birthday in September 14th in the same day I decided finally to use the Time Card to activated my account again and attempt my goal of getting the "Destroyer's End" title before MoP, after getting my goal fulfilled I could do a few things with my alts and started leveling step by step my NElf Druid on Stormrage's server, but I'll write a post about what things I did before Cataclysm ended on September 25. While players where desperate to reach lvl 90 on the same day MoP launched, I took my time and relaxed myself to enjoy the new things on Pandaria while leveling my Druid, Luminar reached lvl 90 on October 4 and got exalted with "The Lorewalkers" too, I'm happy with the flying disc cloud mount including get exalted with the Pandaren's faction to buy all of their turtle mounts! :D I like better this expansion than Cataclysm, more fun and entertaining plus the mounts, pets and new gear styles are fantastic, the only ones I like most is the mail set from normal/heroics and the cloth set from Tailoring, epic reputation gear and normal/heroics.

I'm still pretty sad that my hubby don't play this expansion with me because he says the new talent tree system sucks and he prefers the old one instead so he keeps playing Lich King private server and complains how boring is the server now because during the evenings he finds some noobs in raids and sometimes he says silly things to me because I'm playing a crappy new WoW retail, really a crappy new WoW retail right? He gets so amazed about the things Pandaria has that he almost said he wants to play again. -_- Who really can understand him? I know some day he will be back! I still love WoW and it doesn't matter which videogame or MMORPG game I'll play I still gonna play WoW while it last. I'll mention later where I got my Druid's spec and how to understand the new talent tree system. ;) Stay tuned for those sites addresses!

I'm using NPC Scan from Curse's site since MoP launched and I'd encountered a lot of rares besides Sha of Anger and Galleon (both are world bosses with a gray dragon frame) thanks to that addon, but the sad part is the drops are Binds when Pick up. -_-* These rares hits like trucks and my druid including the rare both died together. Lol!

Anyway, I'll post what things happened after my official return to WoW. Now I'm still insecure which toon I should level next, my lvl 85 holy pally has jewelcrafting and enchanting so I want to get the mounts to make some gold, my lvl 85 pally tank has mining and engineering I want with her and my lvl 85 frost mage the engineering new mounts too, my lvl 85 elemental shammy has herbalism with alchemy, my lvl 85 shadow priest has tailoring with enchanting and my lvl 82 fury warrior still need to lvl mining and blacksmith xD, my server action house prices are horrible to get them gear while leveling or reaching lvl 90! Let's see which one will become my 2nd lvl 90. I read a few comments/posts about players complaining how horrible are the dailies, seriously I'm doing it to get the new mounts and some epic gear step by step including the leatherworking epic recipes, rushing things is not the best option, I want the Chinese epic cloth set for my shadow priest so bad!!! Well, until next time and remember try to have fun in WoW instead of complaining on everything if you've a right choice of doing things without rush ingame, there's still Pandaria for who knows what long it will last! Bye, bye! :D

My Old World of Warcraft Art

During The Burning Crusade, I wanted drew so much my Druid, Luminar, and my hubby's Paladin, Cangri, but never finished coloring it because I was still bad coloring using Photoshop and using the wrong tools that always took me time to finish. I think I finished later or make a new drawing for them again better than this one.

During Wrath of the Lich King, I remembered when I was leveling my Night Elf Druid, Luminar, and how I liked so much her The Burning Crusade gear she was wearing during that time and never finish it because coloring it on Photoshop takes a lot of time coloring because I only knew to use Dodge, Burn and Sponge tools to make the "effects" of light and shading. Since now I'm coloring better using Photoshop CS6 thanks to a tutorial in Spanish I found in YouTube that I could manage to learn the trick right away since I know the program in English. I'll update the lineart and color it while I do that I'm going to get the set and make her wear it again once I'm back to WoWs new MoP expansion. I'm glad that Blizzard had made possible Transmogrification to change the character's gear and make them unique, the meaning reasons to make different styles and drawings. I miss so much my Druid and can' wait to be back playing with her! :D

My hubby wanted to try the Latin American server, Quel'Thalas, where his father and brother where playing with his Human Paladin, Samsom and I made my Draenei Death Knight, Jessibelle, to help him during leveling his Pally and I to reach level 80 to get heirlooms for my alts, but we ended up being back on Scarlet Crusade server again. xD This is another drawing I'll update too.
