Evening everyone!

I haven’t posted in awhile because I’ve been so busy getting achievements!  In patch 3.0.2, Blizz implemented the achievement system, and I have been working hard to get as many achievements as I possibly can.  This week was also the beginning of Hallow’s End, the Halloween holiday in the game, which gives more achievements to get!  I was able to collect all the candy in the game, which also gave me time to fill in all the zone maps.  It’s been a lot of work, but I find it satisfying =).

Look at those achievements!

Look at those achievements!

It is a great new system for opening up single player content, and I enjoy it whole-heartedly.  Go out and get those achievement points!

Hallows End, Black Temple, etc.

The Hallows End holiday started this week, which means a bunch of new achievements and fun!

Pumpkin heads!  My warrior, Bouba, was also able to get the helm from the headless horseman, which I has slacked on getting last year.

Also, since the patch nerf on bosses and the buff on everyone with the new talents, our guild went into Black Temple for the first time and was able to down the first 4 bosses.  Exciting!  I know some very hardcore players may be frowning on Blizzard’s decision to do this, but I think it’s great – they spend so much time creating content and it makes sense to let as many players see it as possible.  We were going to go in yesterday and try more bosses, but Eonar has been having problems related to their instance servers – every instance (including ones in Azeroth) was down and sometimes people would get their characters sent into “limbo” when they tried to zone in.

I also changed up how Arco (my hunter) looks at the barber shop!

I like her new hair, but she does look a lot less hardcore without that tusk helm showing, haha.
