Boy, I've been pretty absent over here at CuppyVille. Has it really already been a couple weeks? This year is just flying by....it's already going to be December tomorrow! Don't worry though, I haven't drifted off from WoW again as I am known to do. I've actually been playing so much that I haven't had... Continue Reading →
Ashamed to play WoW?
There's this common thing that I see on many blogs, particularly ones that cover multiple MMOs. It goes like this, for example: "I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it, but I'm back in WoW again." Sometimes, this is rephrased to say the opposite but still giving the same effect: "I'm not ashamed to admit that... Continue Reading →
How I Feel About Insta-90’s in Warlords of Draenor
Blizzcon has begun, and with it a whole slew of information about exciting tidbits to expect in the coming months. Warlords of Draenor was confirmed, complete with 10 more levels, new zones, player-housing, new raids, zones, and the ability to make one of your existing or new characters instantly level 90 with a handy boost....

Sir Murkalot
I logged in last night and was excited to see that my Blizzcon (digital pass) pet was delivered to my mailbox! Murkalot is absolutely adorable -- he's a little murloc with a set of armor and a shield. I basically love him. He has all sorts of cute animations too, so I pretty much want... Continue Reading →
In Which I Defend Achievements in MMOs
Syl at MMOGypsy wrote a post today declaring her hate for achievements in MMOs. I have to give her kudos, her post was well-written and clearly thought out, and it did a good job of showing her thought processes and backing up her opinion. I found myself being filled with annoyance while reading it though,... Continue Reading →
Dungeoning and dungeoning
I remember fondly back in the day when leveling was slow enough where you could quest through all the zones PLUS do each dungeon multiple times. Now, I'm just basically running the dungeons 1-3 times per unique Burning Crusade dungeon and I'm leveling so fast that I can't even THINK about questing. It's a strange... Continue Reading →
Sup, dude? My Druid is Level 90!
Yeah, somehow this just totally happened last night. I saw a named in Kun-Lai Summit (Nalak?) and decided to kill it. It took forever, being that I'm a slow lumbering Boomkin. But it awarded me almost 300,000 XP and ended up being the last bit I needed to get my FIRST EVER LEVEL 90 CHARACTER!... Continue Reading →
Jiraa’s Current Transmog
I decided it was time for Jiraa to get a little makeover so that she at least kind of matches. Fashion > all, after all =) Robe: Arcane Robe Belt: Stonecloth Belt Shoulders: Mistscape Mantle Helm: Hidden Cloak: Seer's Cape Staff: Tanglewood Staff (it glows without an enchant!)
Ding 60!
As of last night, Jiraa is level 60 and is headed off to Hellfire Peninsula in Outland to continue her journey. I remember two situations from way back in the day, many years ago. When 60 was the max level, I remember how long it felt like it took to get there. My first 60... Continue Reading →
Jiraa the Hallowed
Aside from having horrible latency last night (5,000+ms!) in WoW, I've been having a really great albeit casual time in WoW. My husband and I keep talking about how relaxing it is to play this game. I'm sure that changes at the max level raiding and heroic content, but so far playing my little Priest... Continue Reading →
