Big bear logged in last night, was greeted by an instant whispered invite to run Underbog, a second whispered invite to run Old Hillsbrad (I like calling it that, despite the LFG tools’ insistance that it’s called Durnholde), and Jay in our cross-guild chat channel posting “Hey buddy! Whatcha up to?”

I want to run Underbog, I want to run Old Hillsbrad (for yet another shot at the tanking ring), and I have about 1 hour of playing time available. So I regretfully turn each whisper down, and say Hi right back to Jay.

The following conversation is a testament to the evil bastards I call friends.

Jay; “So, whatcha got planned?”

Big Bear; “I’ve only got about an hour. I’m planning on making my lowbie Priest alt a Tailor/Jewelcrafter, so I was gonna go trinket to Gadgetzan and fly to Barrens for some serious Mining runs. I should get enough ore and stones in an hour to keep my Priest busy for the first 20 or 30 Profession levels.”

Jay; “I ran Ring of Blood earlier, the hunter from your first blog post was there.”

Big Bear; “Oh lord. How did it go?”

Jay; “Not bad at all. We had (names a bunch of guild officers) and two extra 70s outside the party helping… went great. I got this (Battle Mages’ Baton)”

Big Bear; “Sounds great. Glad to hear it went well.”

Big Bear; “On the subject of the blog.. I am pretty surprised nobody commented on the Aerial PvP article. I am pretty excited about the idea.”

Jay; “Nah. I think everyone is too busy talking about the new water mounts they’re adding.”

Big Bear; “…… what?”

Jay; “What?”

Big Bear; “What water mounts?”

Jay; “The water mounts they said they are adding.”

Big Bear; “Jay, what are you talking about?”

Jay; “The water mounts. The ones they’re adding for the water and land based area they’re opening up in a couple patches.”

Big Bear; “….. Jay, what the hell are you talking about? I’m on WoW Insider and the community forums all day. No one’s said a word about water mounts.”

Jay; “Blizz announced they’re opening up a new area prior to the expansion, it’s gonna be in Azeroth, and there are gonna be 200% speed water mounts usable in a new PvP BG. You’re gonna have to do a mix of rep grinding and Badges of Justice to get the mounts just to enter the area.”

Big Bear; “….. you are so full of it… where did you see all this?”

Jay; “I don’t see how you coulda missed it, it was announced on the WoW pop up interface when you start the game. The page that loads first with Blizz news links? It was right there. Had a link to a chat with Tigole from some German convention.”

Big Bear; “….. I have the announcement pop up disabled. My WoW loads straight to game.”

Jay; “Oh… so you didn’t see it. LOL. Dude, no one is gonna worry about your Aerial PvP cause they have new water mount PvP to talk about.”

Big Bear; “…..”

Jay; “Oh and….. psych.”

Jay; “I’m just messing with ya. Not bad for off the top of my head, huh?”

Big Bear; “You complete and total bastard.”
