I’ve been playing WoW non-stop since December 24th, 2004.  That’s a long time, 4 and a half years actually.  Our logins have been slowing down recently and I haven’t really felt like raiding so I decided to take a few weeks off.

I did log in last Saturday morning, but I was only on long enough to do the Tournament daileys, a normal Saturday would have me on most of the day if I didn’t have errands to run or stuff to do around the house.  On Sundays I normally play all day and into the night but this past Sunday I only did 1 Tournament daily, so I could finish up the badges for Darnassus and move onto the last city- Exodar.  No one else in the guild was on at either time so I haven’t really talked to anyone in a week.

Last night I logged in with the intent to buy my Hateful Gladiator’s Plate Chestpiece and maybe see if my 2s buddy was on to get our weekly 10 games in.  As it turns out the guild was running a pug 25-man Naxx so I figured since I didn’t really have anything else to do so I thought I’d que up for a few BGs with my new chest piece.  Just as we were about to win a very fast Strand of the Ancients Keld asked if I wanted to come do some DPS.  An Emblem of Valor or 3 wouldn’t hurt and I didn’t really have anything else to do so I tagged along.  Also, I don’t have any of the heroic Naxx achievements so that was also a bonus.

We killed a few bosses then I brought in Ipaq because we needed some decursing.  We got to Gothik and after a failed “aoe everything” attempt it was 11:45 and I had to get to bed.  I think they’re finishing up the run tonight.

So I cheated a little bit on my break, but I probably won’t log in again for a few days and it’ll just be so I can get my 2s games in.

Like Ahab had his white whale WoW players have their white drake, the Albino Drake that is.

The Albino Drake is the reward that players receive for completing the achievement Leading the Cavalry, which requires the player to obtain 50 mounts!

Today I got Exalted Champion of Gnomeregan) so I was able to buy the gnome race mounts.  This put me at 26 mounts total and bumped me up to the last level of the achievement.

I had some spare cash and I remembered that I had a few more of the alliance flying mounts to buy so I headed out to Shadowmoon Valley and picked up the Golden Gryphon, Snowy Gryphon and Swift Green Gryphon.

Now I’m at 34 of the 50 required mounts, so only 16 to go.  I still have to get exalted with Darnassus and the Exodar too so that will help close that gap.
