Preface

Dear Friends,

I have recently got my hands of a 7 day trial of WoW,

I'm goign to go install it now, and see for myself how it's like, and bring you inside details.

This will be a dangerous journey, but i am willing to take the risk. If i do not come back within 14 days, please, go on without me.

I will be updating my Journey on this post, with screenshots.

So begins my journey, into World of Warcraft.

Here I go.

Unlocking the door

Unlocking the door 2

After many hours of trying to unlock the contents of the "warcraft disk"
I have finally managed it. Am I ready to step throught the door into the new world? No. But I must. I might never be the same after I go. But I must, But I must.

AUG|7|5:30

There I was, ready for my adventure, but first I had to create myself. I looked at the two factions. The Alliance, or The Horde, Firstly I looked at the Horde choices.

Should I be the blood-thirsty orc? I glanced at my Orc-Self, ugly, rotting teeth.. no, Orc is not for me.

How about Undead? I'm stunned at the sight. No jaw, no blood, just weak flesh and bare bone. No thank you.

Next is the mighty tauren. Hmm a walking, talking bull? Sound pretty nice. While i think this, my Tauren-Self scratches his back obliviously. Hmm.. lets see what other choices there are...

I take a look at the Alliance side. There I see a Good, Clean-shaven human. Good ole' humans. Boring, and dull.

Moving on is Night Elf, while the females I admit, do look pretty nice... The males... well HUGE ears that stick out left and right, blue beards? Not for me.

Then I take a look at the Dwarfs, a little midget with an axe stares at me, he looks very angry, I quicky move on.

Gnomes? What is a gnome? I asked as I was looking at the "Gnome" section. At first I didnt see anything, but then i slowly moved my head downward. There I saw it. It was the tiniest thing I ever saw, even with his huge hair. I thought about it.. If I were a Gnome how would I open doors? How would I be able to pee in a toilet? No, definatly I'm not going to be a Gnome, I will probably get kicked around by Humans, and face certain death if a Tauren doesen't watch where it's going.

I thought about Tauren, The all mighty Tauren, big and strong. Tauren is perfect for me. How will I go through doors? Nobody knows.

Watch out Gnomes, Warkk the Tauren is coming!
Perfect.

I don't know what I'm goign to face, who I'm going to meet, or what I'm going to do. At this point my Tauren-Self is yawning with bordom, So i shoulden't keep him waiting.

Here I Come World Of Warcraft, Here I Come.

I was standing in the middle of the Tauren village; Camp Narache. I was talking with the Cheif of the vilage and he told me a few stories and sent me on my way. I was stunned. After I left the village I saw trees, mountains, and endless plains of grass.

After participating in the Tauren Great Hunt, getting some animal meat and pelts, I stood at the top of a small hill. The sight is amazing.

Today was a good day, but there shall be many more adventures. I sit under a large pine tree, and quickly fall asleep.

I coulden't write in my log for the last 6 days, I have been ahrd at work training my character. I converted from Warrior to Shaman, after trying out all the classes, I am level 7 now, I made it to the next city after doing quests for the elder Tauren. I am in Bloodhoof Village, I will finish more quests as soon as I can, and mabye someday they will let me in to the Tauren capital of Thunder Bluff.

This may just be me, but I think it would be a kick ass idea:

Imagine if there was a forum set aside for WoW "journals", where WoW players could make entries, explaining their days of WoW, in a role-playing manner.

Well, you could just do it all here, actually, but I thought it might be neater in a special forum :) And perhaps only Special Members and up who play WoW, so no one abuses it, or anything...

Just a thought :D

20 minutes has gone by, i have lost all hope...

On my jorney looking for wark i tripped on a funky looking gnome that gave me a quest, Something with buzzboxes and spiders wasnt really listening to him, Good thing i have my quest log...

Personal note of the day..

Buzzboxes.. Talking to people over a distance? What will the next be, sending invisible letters through the air for others to read at home... Ghee this gnome is demented..

Ok my trial is almost up, I thought I'd have to leave WoW but then, yesderday, my brother came home:

"Hey Alex, look what I got"

What could it be? I wondered, I quickly ran up stairs to see what he had.

And there I saw it.

"And there i saw it"

Three retail copies of WoW, one for him, one for his girlfriend, one for ME!

But no, thats not all, im his other hand was something even better

"somethign even better"

His new MasterCard.

Also, what's your char's name and realm? We should ply sometime. :D

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
