Day 3 - Where Kornum had to wait for a bit





As soon as I log in, poor Kornum gets up and puts on an expression of determination, mixed with anger. He turns to face me, his God, Creator, his very soul, and his look is one of accusation. And what stings the most, his accusations are not baseless.


It wasn't his fault the rule was broken, nevertheless, it was him that paid the price of oblivion for so long. No, I didn't make him play Oblivion all this time - I'm not that sadistic. But I let him alone in that tavern, crying, for something that wasn't really his fault all this time. Time in which a Night Elf Druid, a Worgen Hunter, a Draenei Shaman and a Human Rogue all went from 1 to 85. But when the Human Paladin and Dwarf Warlock hit 40 and 30 respectively, Kornum have had enough. 


"Now look here, lad!", he said, waving his sausage finger under my nose. "The tree-hugger, the pup, the space goat and the cutthroat I be willing to let slide, but I'll be thrice damned if yer paying more attention to another paladin or another dwarf while I'm right here waitin' on yer sorry ass! I want to see the world, you hear me? And there's also those who'd want to know of my adventures!". "Words to live by", I whisper feebly while Kornum's unique aroma overwhelms my nose.

Unfortunately for Kornum, though, I log out soon after, promising myself to come back the next day.





















Out of nowhere, I remember Kornum exists.

I remember his story was not finished.

I remember he was peeved at the time. Something about being put on hold...I think back, real hard, and suddenly I realise I'm in for the motherlode of rants once I check up on him again.

Light give me strength, here we go again.

Day 1 - Meet Kornum

'Lo and behold, the newest champion of the light is here. His name is Kornum, and he'll try levelling as a tank MS/healer OS. Now, Earthen Ring is an RP realm, so let's give him some backstory. He is very conscious about his height, but in fact thinking he's normal and everyone else is gigantic. He's a bit slow, considering gnomes to be, in fact, human children. He's pathologically afraid of booze. He's a little bit paranoid, as you can see from his bug eyes. He's also superstitious, and mumbles to himself a lot. He never showers. As soon as Kornum appears, he's piled on top of a dwarf warrior called Swenson who's AFK. Kornum pokes him a bit, but Swenson never bats an eyelid. Hmmm. Maybe he's out to get me. I cautiously click on Joren Ironstock who's in front of me. He wants me to kill 6 Ironjaw Invaders, trogg mobs of which there's a huge pile of corpses around him. I suspect he wants to test my mettle, not actually help, since he...

Let's roll the dice and see if I'm getting drunk

So, this idea came to me all of a sudden. I've been trying to convince myself to level a character in World of Warcraft on the Earthen Ring server, purely to be able to play with my RL buddies, such as Pete from Pete's RPG Tips and Sam from Nibble & Byte . I mean, I tried transferring some of my characters on there, but it didn't work. I even tried transferring heirlooms from my main realm, but that didn't work either . I even tried levelling a Death Knight with heirlooms, but levelling a class you already have a level 85 character in is not fun. Not fun at all. So, here's what's going to happen. After some creative dice rolling (and a healthy dose of re-rolls), I decided to roll a random character (which ended up being, of all things, a Dwarf Paladin ). The goal of this blog? To track this character's progression from level 1 to the almighty level 85, hopefully getting him raid-worthy gear by the end. As far as professions go, he's going to a h...
