Time off...

I've been away from W0W for some time due to life's consistent time constraints - I don't know how some of my peeps do it (yes they have kids and full time jobs).

Basically I've made some decisions about what to do and when to do them based on these constraints:

1. Starting to PVP - this has changed dramatically since I last went into BG or Arena - the queue times are drastically down and the in/out times seem to have went down as well. This works well for me since I can't be on a schedule (its all adhoc) and I don't have much steady time to be on WoW - approx 1, 2 hours in a clip.

2. Getting my Epic - about 60% through collections and am running the 3,4,5 man group quests in BEM, SMV and NS - if I get a good group, we're basically going to roll through 4/5 of these in a clip - thats not bad l00t in one setting.

3. Rep building - need to get revered with some factions and considering exalted for 1/2 factions based on rep. rewards - some of them are real sweet such as skyguard.

4. Potion Mastery - I still need to run through bot and get my potion mastery - this will greatly increase my ability to make pots in quantity on occasion. I hope to get this before my epic as farming for herbs will no doubt be much quicker.

5. Skill Building - need to boost up fishing/cooking, as well as swords and thrown skills. Most of my other areas are max'd out already.

As for raiding, well this is not a focus area right now - its not the actual runtime through the instance that gets me its the setup, and the commitment to the scheduled time that I can't seem to fit in - oh well - luckily Bliz has provided enough rewards in BG/Arena to minimize the urge to raid.

More to come...
