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.
Blizzard wrapped up their druid skin updates with today’s release of the Night Elf cat skins.

So to wrap up, the taurens will be able to change their animal forms by altering their skin color at barbershop. The Night Elves will change their’s by altering their hair color.
I can’t wait for these changes to make it live!
In their continuing release of the new druid skins Blizz has released the new tauren cat skins.

For our third installment, we’d like to offer you a look at the new art for tauren cat form. Here’s a peek at the current look of cat form along with the five new textures. As a reminder, tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop –a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch.
Looks like we’ll have the final update, the NE cat skins, on Thursday.
As promised Blizzard has released the new skins for the Night Elf bear forms.
We continue our look at the new druid art with our second installment, night elf bear form. Here’s a peek at the current look of bear form along with the five new textures. As a reminder, night elves will be able to change which look they use by switching hair color in the barber shop.

Stay tuned for a preview of the new druid cat form art coming next week.
I can’t wait to see the new cat forms.
Blizzard has finally released info on the new character skins for druids that players have bugging them for since the dawn of time.
“In our next major content patch, druids will find a host of new textures for two major forms, cat and bear. There will be five different designs for each of these forms for the Horde and Alliance. Night elves can choose to change their cat and bear look at any time by visiting the barber shop and changing their character’s hair color, while tauren will be able to change which look they use by switching skin tones in the barber shop — a new feature for tauren in the next major content patch. Given that there are more hair colors and skin tones than unique form looks, some colors and tones will overlap with these new textures. The hair and skin colors chosen will, in most cases, correspond with the color seen in the look of each form. Some similar colors that may share a particular cat texture will not necessarily share the same bear texture.
We’d like to share with you this new art for each form and faction in four installments. So without further ado, our first preview is for the five new textures of the tauren druid bear form. We’ll also show the current form design so you can easily see the extra detail and textures of the new art. Work continues on new looks for the remaining druid forms and we hope to add them in future content patches.

Stay tuned for a preview of the new night elf druid bear form art coming later this week.”
This will make Ipaq, and every other druid in the game, very happy furrys!
