[Verb] It Up!

Getting to level 80, one alt at a time.

Intro!

or “What’s that weird guy talking about?!”

Hello, I’m O2! Yes, like that: Oh-Two!

I’ve played RPGs since I was 12. Caught the end of the AD&D train (I know what THAC0 means…), and then I started playing D&D3e and other games. Always liked playing other characters, bashing heads in as a medieval paladin or blowing things up as a modern mage. To me, the biggest hurdle to my RPGing habits has always been finding enough players for it. I’m not an american, and my country isn’t exactly famous for its roleplaying culture. I used to play in high-school, but then I moved to a nearby town and things got a lot more difficult since then. Last year I’ve found a new group for Storyteller-based games (Werewolf, more exactly), but I still felt I missed the medieval genre I had in D&D.

So… last December I decided to go and give MMORPGs another chance. Made a new account, picked up the 10-day trial, tried out a few different classes to see how they felt now, and well… here I am! Let’s go to the part that really matters here!

Here’s what to expect from [Verb] It Up:

  • Lots of talking!
  • Lots of talking about Alts!
  • Lots of Tanking things up!
  • Lots of Hitting/Shooting/Blowing things up!
  • Hitting/Shooting/Blowing other players up, occasionaly!
  • Lots of praise to healers!
  • Faction-neutral speech!

Explanations after the jump!

Welcome to [Verb] It Up!

As the title says, welcome to the (until a few minutes ago, that is) newest blog about World of Warcraft and related things on the internet.

Yeeees, another one! =D

Uh, what? Why the silly meta-linguistic name? Mostly because I really like the whole “it up” expression family. Applied to WoW, I like shooting things up, tanking things up, smashing things up and blowing things up. I even heal things up once in a while! So, since I can’t seem to focus on a single theme, I decided to go generic.

Hang tight, I’m still getting used to WordPress (last time I used it was two years ago, when it was still a really basic engine).
