Cataclysm Collector's edition news, my vacation plan, and choosing the right guild

Hi readers, as you may know, the collector's edition of Cataclysm has been announced, so I used my birthday money to pre-order it, and boy is it nice. I mean the stuff that they are putting in there is pretty amazing. I am not really able to describe all of it's epicness, so check out the official page here.

In other news, the time is drawing near for me to finally get a new ring. This time what I seek is the Emerald Flame Ring, which drops from Prince Tortheldrin in the west wing of Dire Maul. No real idea as to whether I will actually see it, but I have high hopes.

I also regret to inform you I will be gone for a week, starting on Saturday, and thus will not be able to post. Due to this, I ask and encourage you all to keep up to date with Lkpriest's blog/vlog and enjoy all of the cool things she posts. I have included a link to here blog here, but also on the links page to the right.
 
Also, due to my want to power level my warlock, I have been playing less and less on my other 80's. Mostly because I am biding my time till cataclysm to get a fresh start with raiding, and partly due to lack of motivation. I find having a 80 character is fun at first, but if you do not raid on a regular basis with a stable raiding team, it tends to get rather boring and you end up losing your motivation to do the daily routine. Sometimes I find that I am hit with the sudden urge to go do a fun achievement, but then once that ends, I grow bored.    

Now you may be wondering what point I am trying to make in my rant above, and that is understandable. So here is the point. The point is be nice, find a good guild, and get on a stable raiding team of people you just like to be around in the virtual world. This makes being a max level not as filled with tedium and boring routine. However, make sure the way they handle loot is fair and balanced. There is nothing worse than raiding night after night and not being allowed to even roll on any gear that you need due to guild regulations.

Choosing a guild can be tough, especially with all the choices out there. Some guilds are made for hardcore raiders, while others are made for casual game play. Some may be leveling guilds, while others may be guilds made up of friends. In the end, picking one that fits your play style, your personality, or your needs is what is key. So don't get caught up in the popularity factor of a guild, because the most successful guild is not always the nicest, the one who has the most hard modes and world firsts under their belt isn't always the most lenient.
Prestige does not mean best for everyone.

So I wrap up my little adventure into guild land, I implore you to remember these key steps, and find a guild that is right for you. While I understand the guild life is not always good for everyone, always having nice people to talk to is something no person should go without. :)
