I had mayhaps the worst/best run of Korrak’s Revenge
it lasted around 2 hours.
I could tell the alliance players apart based on their names, thats how long it went on.
I could tell when a new player had joined.
In the first hour the alliance had a solid lead, they rushed the horde base and took the towers there, only iceblood somehow remained active, all the while we tried to push into their base, when that failed we got pushed all the way back to our base, in the fallback we also lost the last tower, We made what would have been a valiant last stand at the gates but through some combination of tenacity, grit and horde pride we stood our ground, for the 2nd hour of the match a dedicated team of rogues snuck into the alliance base to destroy their last two bunkers all the while we kept them away from our base gates and from back capping the base graveyard, for 1 whole hour all that stood in the alliance way of victory was one slip up.
Towards the end we had sneakily reduced the amount of defenders leaving like 3 dps, 2 healers and maybe 1 tank to defend the entrance to our boss while the rest of us stormed the alliance keep and killed the boss ending the battle in what I can only describe as game of the year.
And in a totally unexpected wholesome conclusion, someone whispered me after the fight and praised me for my call outs.
TLDR:
a surprising display of persistent teamwork in a PuG BG pulled victory from the jaws of defeat all because some of us decided to talk in chat.

To keep a long story short:

I am back to really enjoying myself in the game and in roleplay over on horde side, thanks in no small part to a certain warmongering friendo of mine. I haven’t really played horde side that much since wrath (despite really liking the faction and maining it previously) so it’s kind of like a breath of fresh air. Hell, I’m even going through older xpacks to see them from horde’s pov now, as looney as it sounds.
Heck, I really wanted to keep hating the game and just quit it but it won’t happen it seems… though Alliance being very peepee lately has actively encouraged me to do so. Moral of the story? Become orc, embrace the orc.

Recently got a back to playing on one of my favourite characters again, and had spare time to get back into a hub, thats close to my heart with said character.
Attend my guilds event and it was great!
It’s like putting on old, comfortable shoes, just sits right.

We played a word-guessing board game today, and I was the only player whose words (four in total) were all successfully guessed!

I recently got interested in chess, having very little experience playing it and still making rookie mistakes, and today I executed my first ever knight fork against a queen and king. It felt very satisfying and won me the game.

Some people might remember that my cat has been undergoing treatments for non-regenerative anemia since mid November, with the underlying cause unknown. The situation has been a heavy package of worry, stress and expenses. His prognosis wasn’t good, guarded at best.
I’m happy to report that he’s finally anemic no more! It feels like a heavy stone dropping off my chest, as despite him appearing alright at home the past weeks, on our previous appointment there was no clinical improvement - instead, it looked like his bone marrow could be shutting down the production of blood cells. Naturally I was quite disheartened by that visit. As a result I’ve been cautious to get my hopes too high up, given all the setbacks we’ve faced. Both me and the vet were now overjoyed that there’s at last a clear change for the better!
While he’s still at high risk of developing diabetes on cortisone treatment (blood sugar tests came back normal for now), things just got a lot brighter. We’ll continue with the medication but slowly decrease the doses over time, let’s hope we stay on the good track. 
Have a great weekend everyone!

Learning that customer support/GMs no longer help with specific issues, I have a better perspective on what to expect and faced with issues that I cannot correct, I’ve chosen to make the most of it. It’s motivating me to make sure the issue doesn’t happen again, and I’m driven to embrace an old alt.

Great to hear that the treatment and time won through in the end! All the best for you both!

I learned this silly country once had a noble house of “parrot” and that’s just adorable and delightful.

I flew to Iskaara to turn in a quest and found two RPers who were doing the soup event IC. After the event finished, I stayed for impromptu RP with them for a bit. It was pleasantly unexpected to find RP in such an out-of-the-way place!

After well over a month of delays caused by bureaucracy hurdles and public transport issues, I finally managed to sort out a pretty important bit of paperwork for my family. Also the sun was out after a bit of a gray period, so that’s a bonus, too.

Ticking the checkbox of another small dream of mine: picking up archery! 
Registered to an archery club and been there twice now. So far liking the instructors, the calm ambience of the place, and how it forces you to be very present in the moment.
