Got back and finally hit 40 with my warrior! :) Plate Armor at last!

They give you a mount with 35 now, so traveling is not that a big pain in the ass anymore.My trusty Kodo steed looks funny though riding the pavements in ogrimar. I just hope it doesn’t fall over.

The graphics got an overhaul as well and I am thinking of getting a new graphics card now ^^ Bumped the graphics up and my card almost died, haha. Looks nice though.

I also got back with my hunter. It’s still very low, but extremely easy and fun to play and I deal alot of damage with my pet. It’s much easier to level than my warrior :/ If I knew that earlier I would have had stuck to Wow longer altogether.

Also watched 10 Days of Knight on Project Lore. Man, this Death Knight quest chain looks like alot of fun. Unfortunately I need to have burning crusade and wrath of the lich king installed to roll a death knight. Well, take all my money blizzard and make Warcraft 4 an awesome game :)

I enrolled an elf first, but then ran into a blue screen of death. Nice!

After that I made a human hunter, and I had good fun playing him. Then I went to the first instance and guess what? Blue screen of death. Wow!

Apart from the bluescreens, the quests are more of the same old same old. “Go hunt 5 of these wolfs … Oh thanks, now talk to that guy.” and so on. You run around alot. The graphics look nice, but not as polished as WoW’s. Also there’s alot of instancing going on, at least in the beginning. I’ve barely came across other players.

I will give the game one more try I guess, but these bugs are bad. Maybe it’s my graphics card, but bluescreens should not happen – ever! Wow and Warcraft 3 run like a charm ;)
