		<description>Ultima Online started in 1997 and there are STILL people playing it that were there so long ago.  WoW will be around at least as long, unless they make a new MMO that is somehow more fun (quite possible, knowing Blizzard and their now billions...)</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been playing for about 16 months and got three level 70 and a mage stuck at 62, We&#039;re a small guild which has - until a few months ago - only consisted of a few friends. With the help of some more friends and a couple of pugs we&#039;ve recently cleared Kara (yay). That was fresh, finally some raiding!

The thing is, though, that except Kara the other stuff (ie dailies, try doing the Isle with three chars every day for a week) is stale, month old cheese with a little mold at the edges. What to do?

Roll another druid! My feral druid&#039;s been standing with pre-kara gear (we needed healers, enter resto shaman, damn fun to play) for a long time and with one dedicated pala tank and a warrior dito he&#039;s not going anywhere soon. And please don&#039;t say pug. 

But Tertia, only ten days old, is at level 44 atm and I&#039;m having a blast! She&#039;s got all the boost she needs with bags, but I&#039;m doing 95% of the mining required for the JC (first miner, might be the last as well, man it takes time). And I&#039;m skilling fishing and cooking for the first time as well - artisan on both and cooking has it&#039;s perks with the buff food.

The thing is; she&#039;s a moonkin. And it&#039;s really fresh cheese. Almost still milk tbh :) My original thought was to level up a resto druid to try some arena but now there are second thoughts creeping into my brain. Once you hit a tree with talents as a druid you don&#039;t leave it. All trees have great talents and I want them all! Thought so with Murmus (da feral) and right now it&#039;s the same deal. &quot;Oh, extra spellcrit on Wrath/Starfire/Moonfire (did a crit at 1022 yesterday)&quot;.&quot;EACH crit lowers the cast time on your the next spell with half a second. Wrath outruns the gcd, muhahaha&quot;. &quot;Mana regen at 3-12% of my total int, GIEF!&quot; (with a resto shammy as a main you gets to be a mp5-junkie).

She might still be resto when I hit 70, but I&#039;m gonna go there blasting my way through the mobs! Pew pew, watch out mages, you glass cannons, give room for the tanking spellcaster. Watch your mouth or I&#039;ll start a dance-off - your loss! 

And oh, btw, give me some conjured water pls. 

Murmus/Tertia at Defias Brotherhood (EU) - 
The Swedish cows says /moo - keep up the good work :)
And, roll horde ftw! ;)

PS. Damn, this was fun, I may have to start my own blog and enhance my English skills a bit and get to rant &#039;til my fingers bleed.</description>

		<description>As a Mac user, the only thing I&#039;ll be switching for is Starcraft 2.  I like Blizzard&#039;s cheese (good thing I&#039;m not lactose intolerant!)</description>

		<description>1.) Excellent Post.
2.) Your Right The Cheese isn&#039;t as tasty as the first time when it comes to alts. My solution to this was to do the following.
1.) Transfer 500gold (ok 425 after ah cut) to Horde toon
2.) Roll a Tauren Druid.
3.) Leave the Alliance Cheese alone for a while &amp; see the other side!
The Cheese is close to as fresh as possible but it&#039;s more a imataion of fresh cheese. In a way it feels like I&#039;m actually playing a handicapped ver of my NE Druid. I know how to mark, pull etc. I ran RFC like it was Heroic MagT =P but I&#039;m severly limited. Still though it&#039;s fun. &amp; it&#039;s also relaxing. Maybe that&#039;s what bothered me the most about my cheese. WOW wasn&#039;t as much fun as it had been because w end game raiding it&#039;s a serious effort. So I&#039;d work all day, come home &amp; work all night.

		<description>Yeah it was said earlier. The cheese for me is the group play. The very tastiest cheese in going into a new instance without first reading any of the guides. With a good group you can not get any tastier.</description>

		<description>As others have said, a very thought provoking article.  As for me I&#039;ve only been playing since December.  My Troll Hunter is 70 and my guild (which includes a few RL friends) has just managed to fully clear Kara.  We&#039;ve downed the first two bosses in ZA (though not under the time limit).  It&#039;s frustrating because on my server (US - Silver Hand) Horde (which we play) has a fairly low population.  This is making it hard to get enough quality people to move into the 25-man raids.  Even Gruul&#039;s and Mag.  I think that with WotLK things should get better because they are adding more 10-mans.  Though I&#039;d still like some more tier gear from TBC.  I&#039;ve still got plenty more to see though before the next expansion and I think I&#039;ll be playing for quite some time to come.
Thanks again for the article.</description>
