To the Lists!

So much has come out with 3.1!  Dual Spec’s, Class changes, Ulduar, and of course – the Argent Tournament!  And of course, with all those changes means that many players return to the world of warcraft.  So what does that mean?  Well, TUE we didn’t really bother logging on.  Tried doing it but after getting insta-boot every time, we gave up.  So yesterday we were actually able to get in!

First things first, we had to fix our UI’s.  Then respect, since all talents were wiped.  And then?  Off to the Argent Tournament!  There was the initial ‘talk to this person’, then ‘talk to that person’, but the highlight?  You get a lance and a horse and can joust.  Well, kinda.  Day one is training and teaching you how to fight w/ a lance.  But it was still cool!  Just 2 more days of training and perhaps we can do some real jousting.

There were some additional dailies, but what I thought unique about these were that they take you to more than just one area in Northrend.  You wind up in Icecrown, Storm Peaks, and all the way down to Howling Fjord.  Btw – it’s Fjord.  Not Fajord…  It’s a “j” that sounds like a “y”.  In fact, Feeyord is closer than Fajord.  Kinda like how Lichen is not pronounced like the Lich King…  It’s liken to liken.  Anyway, sorry about the side track.  So I thought it was interesting how Bliz won’t make any mounts faster than already exist because they want us to see the countryside.  So this was an interesting way to make people head to zones they may not have hit in a few months.  My personal opinion though?  If I can fly faster, I’ll be able to get to areas faster, do more quests, and so on.  I won’t have time to explore every nuance in the game before the next expansion, so why not let me fly faster!

Ok, so that was totally a side track.  But anyway, the point is that the Argent Tournament is pretty cool and you should stop by to check it out.  Don’t forget to get tilted while up there!
