Zalazane’s Fall and my WoW status

I’ve been taking a little break from WoW lately. Moving up to school and getting situated for the semester took a lot out of my game time. Now that I feel ‘at home’ here, I realize that (along with 90% of the guild) we’re sorta waiting for Cataclysm. There’s no real incentive to grind for gear — not interested. There’s no reason to stress out about trying to progress into harder modes because I don’t find doing the same fights just harder to be any thrill. I’m more of a ‘let me do the content and enjoy it then move on’ kind of guy and so are most of my friends.

Today the first events for Cataclysm came out. Operation Gnomeregan and Zalazane’s Fall for Alliance and Horde respectively. I did Zalazane’s fall and honestly I was underwhelmed. The whole event took 30 minutes max and felt rushed. Even the big event at the end was just a moshpit of meaninglessness. Zalazane is gone or something. Woop. So what. That’s the feeling I had when doing it. I was expecting something a little more… Oh I don’t know… epic maybe? Yeah, it’s just a pre-event but that doesn’t change my opinion any.

Most of my guild is waiting for Cataclysm now. I’m tempted to make an Alliance alt to pass the time. At this point it’s just a matter of waiting. Cataclysm will be a relaunch for me and WoW. I’m reading about the changes being made to the whole world — even the loot getting some changes in places like Scarlet Monastery. I plan to play lots of alts and level characters up. Goblin Mage and Goblin Warrior then maybe a Goblin Shaman. Yeah, my plan is to be an altaholic but at this point it’s more than that. It’s about enjoying the best part of WoW and the best part of the expansions: Leveling. I might raid or I might not. Right now my plan is to just do the content and dungeons and not even think about going further.
