Mammoth Rides

Some of the hardest mounts to ride on are the mammoths, either you need a lot of reputation with the right people or you need a lot of money or both. I got my first mammoth today.



I'll get later a size comparison beside a smaller mount and you'll see why they are good.

PvP (Player versus player) Activity

Over the weekend ive been doing a lot of battle between myself others of the horde and other players that play alliance characters. Over the weekend i died about 50 times and killed personally 2000 other characters, many of them i killed multiple times.

Arathi Basin is a 10-man per team, basically we have to control out of the 5 bases for points that get totalled over time, once your team gets 2000 points first you win.



Wintergrasp since Version 3.1 came out has a limit of 100 players per side. this has made warcraft crash less and im able to enjoy the battle to control the fortress more enjoyable.





Alterac Valley is a fun Battleground, its a 40-man per team battleground. and you have to fight your way to the end, through all the bottlenecks and kill the other side's leader.







After every battle you get what are called "marks of honor" if you lose the battle you get 1 mark, if you win you get 3 marks. If you get 50 marks you can buy a special wolf to ride on, i finally got it after 3 days of battles.

Argent Tournament

Jousting like the dark ages has been revelaed in the northern wastelands of Northrend, Ive entered in the Tournament and here are some pictures.



After a while and a few successful battle i got promoted to a Valiant Jouster (Signaled by the two flags)



It'll take me a few more days but i'll become a champion of the Tauren (my Character's race, thats why i look like a cow on two legs) soon enough

Version 3.1

World of warcraft has reached version 3.1 revealing lots of new content :)

Onyxia's Lair

Onyxia's Lair, home to a nasty dragon is an old Dungeon but Onyxia still has bite. But as expected we killed her.



I gathered up her head and took it back to the main City of the Horde Orgrimmar. My name proclaimed across the land.

Karazhan

Karazhan, the tower that is a LOT larger on the inside than on the outside, housing a mad mage and his undead minions is a dungeon that needs coordination from 15 people to overcome the Events and bosses in to finally reach and kill the mad mage.



here are some bits of the Dungeon







There was the bad times, I died.



In the end we killed the mad Mage

Exploring the ENTIRE Virtual World

One of the most time consuming Achievment in the game is Exploration, unlocking all maps and zones, basically meaning you been to every part of the world.



This involves visiting 3 continents and 2 worlds, in the real world equivalent you would have to travel approximately Christchurch, New Zealand to Perth, Australia



And in the end you get the Achievment to call myself Deathtobogie the Explorer
