First!

Welcome to Easy Mode! I hope to take a fun, lighthearted look at the World of Warcraft through the eyes of a casual player. My current main is a level 70 Warlock named Begbie on Kael’thas, and I also play/farm with my level 70 Hunter named Brassneck (see Armory links in sidebar). Yes, Warlock + Hunter = Easy Mode.

I am in a small, real-life friends and family guild, which works for me on a lot of levels, especially with my limited playing time. We are working through most of the Burning Crusade 5-mans right now in preparation to run heroics. Having five level 70’s online at once is a challenge for us, but we manage to make 2-4 runs a week. Since I have been playing him for almost 2 1/2 years, and he’s the only level 70 warlock in the guild, Begbie goes on all the dungeon runs, while Brassneck and his stable of pets farms up whatever I need at the moment. It’s a nice symmetry I have going.

So, what can you expect from yet another entry in the ever expanding World of Warcraft blogs? Well, I am a casual player, so this will be a casual blog. I have done the hardcore blogging thing in the past (1-5 posts a day, rarely missing a day, constant research, etc.) and while I loved it at the time, the times have changed. I hope to update this blog 2-3 times a week with whatever is striking my fancy at the moment – be it WoW, music, movies, life, etc.. We’ll see how it all plays out.

Let the blogging begin!
