Aidem's Subscription has been cancelled

 

 

If you haven’t noticed, I haven’t posted anything on the blog lately. With the sudden surge of WotLK data, you’d think I’d be posting my opinions left and right. Unfortunately, I have some bad news (and some good news):

The Bad News: I’m actually attending my senior year in college at the moment (I attend a year-round college) and my current class is the most difficult class of my entire program. I need to shift a lot of my attention off of WoW and into this class. In fact, the whole project the class is working on together is a week behind (which is definitely not good). I’ve also prioritized my finances and WoW is (unfortunately) at the bottom of the list.

I’m not saying these two factors are the major reason why I cancelled my subscription. Just as the pass expansion, WoW becomes a bit boring. Aidem is a freash level 70 with only three epics and all the rest greens with a few blues. To spend time farming battlegrounds or the arena is not worth it at the moment. This leads me into the good news.

The Good News: There’s a fairly good chance that I’ll be renewing my subscription when Wrath of the Lich King comes out. I’m very excited for the expansion.

Before I head out, I would like to give my final thoughts about the expansion:

• Death of Rare Pets – As much as I’m happy that the leveling of lowbie pets have been fixed, I’m a bit disappointed also. The main reason why I love Stra, my awesome crab, is because not too many hunters put the time and effort to level a crab to level 70. Now with a swing of a wand, any pet will only trail 5 levels behind the master. With each family with a unique ability, the rarity of pets will thin out. I’m not 100% if crabs will be a popular pet, but I know a little part of me will die whenever I see another hunter with a level 70/80 pet crab.
• Pet Talents - I’m excited! I was actually hoping to have access to all three talents as we do. I was a bit disappointed that Stra will only have access to one. I’ve messed around with the pet talent calculators but I haven’t decided anything officially until we get near live.
• Exotic Pets – If anything looks or relates to crabs, I’m on it. I wouldn’t mind a dragon pet but that’s pushing it. My guess is they will open a few current untamable to BM hunters.
• Greens > Epics – Overall, I’d rather want to keep my current greens than get decked out in epics for WotLK. If I enter Northrend decked out with epics, they won’t be replaced until around level 75. The part of experiencing new content is experiencing the new quest rewards and gear. I want my gear to be replaced right at level 70. That’s just me though.

Alright, that’s about it for now. I hope everyone checks back in a few months. If I do renew my subscription, I’ll post about it. If you need to find me, I like to post comments on Mania Arcania’s blog. Thank you for coming and take care!
