This will be a short post, I’m still not quite clear to get back to a regular schedule. A 3 day old baby wreaks havoc on your schedule.  Anyhow, Mom and the little guy are home, and everyone is doing just great.  Thanks to everyone who sent their well wishes!

From here on out, Beta alert!  There are no spoilers really, but just so you know it’s beta talk.

As far as WoW goes, I haven’t had a whole lot of time for the game.  I did get in a BT run on Wednesday night, and saw the Najentus fight for the first time.  Sadly, he didn’t drop the helm I was hoping for.  Anyhow, we also took down Supremus and the Shade, and took a couple quick attempts at Gorefiend.  I’m hoping we take him down Saturday.

In other news, and the reason for the title, is that PTD is now in the Beta for Wrath.  A VERY gracious reader sent me an email the other day and asked if I would like his beta key.  He didn’t have any time for the game, and thought I would put it to good use.  I replied in the affirmative about 1.5 seconds later.  I was going to name said reader, but then I thought that perhaps that would cause some breach of some thing or other, and get either his or my accounts in trouble.  So we’ll leave it at this:  you know who you are, and I’m very, VERY thankful. 

I spent a good 3-4 hours downloading the client and getting it patched up.  I also need to thank Phaelia for pointing out a place to find workable mods for the beta.  I couldn’t live without ArkInventory at this point!  Around 11:30 or so last night I finally had everything up and running, and logged into the beta server.

Who the heck took Pummra?  I know Phae and Valenna had a hard time with their usual names as well.  This must be stopped! 

Anyhow, it gave me the chance to rename Pummra anyhow, as I haven’t felt like Pummra in a long time.  Now I get to go by PTD!  I just hope blizz doesn’t suspect me for a gold seller due to my lack of vowels!

Anyhow, I didn’t have a lot of time, but I spec’d him feral, and grabbed my kitty gear.  I hear respecs are real cheap, so I’ll probably try out a few different builds.  I did manage to remember to take a screeny or two, so here is a shot of Stormwind Harbor.

So I took the boat to Northrend, and ran around town a little. I  didn’t have time for anything serious, but I at least wanted to look around.  I quickly realized I made a silly mistake when copying Pummra over.  He was broke at the time, down to 7 gold.  Basically, I couldn’t train skinning or leatherworking for lack of cash!  Oh well.  I wonder if I can recopy him after loading him up with cash.

So that’s it.  I’m in beta, and I’m thrilled.  The server is down right now or I might not be writing this.  Now I have a question for you.  Is there anything you’d like me to cover regarding the beta?  A particular build for a druid perhaps?  Maybe something about tradeskills?  I’m wide open at this point.  If there’s something you’d like to hear about, go ahead and let me know in the comments.
