Finally!
The Darkmoon Faire is coming next week! I have a Noble's Deck sitting in the bank burning a hole in my bags! I've been wanting to get my hands on one of those decks for AGES!
A couple of weeks ago, I finally raised the coin to grab one off of the AH. Mind you it wasn't cheap! The normal going rate for the Noble's Decks are around 5200 to 5500 gold on my realm (OUCH).
I'm considering myself lucky however as I found a deck on the AH for 4300 gold! I scooped it up as soon as I saw it! You can actually get the Greatness card itself but those run around 8K on the Auction House. Ummmm.... Not an option.
While waiting around for the next Darkmoon Faire, I decided to just gold grind to try to recoup much of that gold that I handed over for this deck. If there is one thing that hunters do well, it's farming/grinding! Since buying the deck, I've recouped 3,000 gold! So at least I don't feel as bad as I did.
HOWEVER!
Until I can turn those cards in, I recently found something far more important to do. FIX MY &$%$^#!@ COMPUTER! My beloved WoW maching died a horrible death a couple of days ago. I've been shopping around for a new PC and have a couple of prospects. I contemplated building another machine but find that I don't have the time nor ambition to take on that kind of endeavor.
I was looking at some really nice high end machines but came to my senses. The World of Warcraft graphics aren't that demanding on moderate gaming machines so I'm looking to be a bit more frugal.
We shall see!
It's funny though. Having a computer die on you is stress enough. But that's not what is filling me with that sense of dread. What am I dreading? Installing WoW on this new machine! Installing WoW has GOT to be the worst experience any gamer can take on. It's entirely too painful! Blizzard really needs to do something about that. Oh well. Hopefully this is the last time I'll have to do it.
You see, next year a game is coming that has the very, very VERY real potential to actually pull me away from WoW. Next year, I give you - Star Wars: The Old Republic!
But that is another post (and another blog)!

I'm waiting for the Faire so I can get Majeste the pet!! Mae has it, but Maj has been seriously deprived. The girl doesn't even have the Wolpertinger!! I can't wait for Brewfest (and not just because Brewfest and Hallows End are the last I need for the Violet Proto-Drake, either!).
