On January 4, 2007 I got this crazy idea to create a Night Elf druid. She wouldn't use weapons or wear armor. This is her LJ...

I moved to my new apartment at the beginning of February. Unfortunately, I still don't have an internet connection. For now I can't play...

2008 Goals
Complete Gnomeregan Ding!
Take on Scarlet Monastary Ding!
Get the Scarlet Crusade Tabard (& rock it like it's going out of style!) Ding!
Go to Uldaman
Maybe hit the Razorfens
Level 60

This year was filled with tons of up and downs. In a way, I feel like I haven't gotten anywhere with her since 40 became the new 30 with WotLK. Add to that finally moving to my own apartment (must be a reasponsible adult now), and my guild getting gutted like a fish. Things have not been easy. Still, AntiTweak finally finished Gnomeregan, went to SM (& got her new tabard), and found new ways to kill time (achievements) this year.
In 2009, I have high hopes for level 60 (finally). I know its taking forever, but I do have seven other characters (which includes a new one for recruit-a-friend) to manage. I like to take my time with things. Most people would have this sort of thing done in a few weeks, but what have they really done? Have they seen Azeroth? Have they even played the game?
I should step off my soapbox and save it for another entry...

So on Saturday, AntiTweak dinged 40! I wasn't paying attention when it happened so of course there's no screenshot. Sooo, it's supposed to be hard now without the armor & weapons according to some of the people I've talked to. We'll see though...

Earlier though, she got to tank Gnomeregan with Tralanna. Yes, I said tank and no, there are no screenshots. Sorry. We did make it to Electrocutioner 6000. Then I stealthed my way to the last punchcard since there was no way we were going to make it there without dying.

AntiTweak 39 Druid
Ameonna 45 Hunter
Fatguy 42 Hunter

This time we ran with my boyfriend's hunter. Antitweak did healing (which why you see her just "standing around"). After 3 more tries, the tabard finally dropped.

( Screenshots! )

( Midnight Launch Party )
Thursday morning, I installed WotLK. I once again got the error message about my RAM (which is enough, but there is something wrong that it doesn't actually know how much is has). Other than that I installed successfully! It was nice that they had a little slide-show about the lore behind the game. Its really nice for those who haven't played the Warcraft series or studied the lore.
Since my boyfriend hadn't gotten his copy (lack of funds, since he payed for mine as a birthday present), he was already on the game on his low level priest. We had decided not to goto Northrend right away to avoid the "rush to be 71-80 first traffic". So I hopped on Ikari to help him out on his Duskwood quests since she was doing them too. We made a good team.
When my friend Chibi Dragon got on, we switched characters for our AntiTweak SM run!

AntiTweak 38 Druid
Ameonna 44 Hunter
Jarail 64 Paladin

We hit every single part of Scarlet Monastery and we got the achievemnet for it. We didn't die once. Afterwards we went back to the Armory to try to get the tabard, but it refused to drop. We decided to call it a day since Paul and I had to go out for dinner for my birthday.
I did complete Mythology of the Titans and we read all of books in the library for part the "Well Read" achievement.
I took some screenshots, but they are on my laptop, so I will post them later.

AntiTweak dinged 39 when she handed in the quest. 40 is just around the corner!

AntiTweak is level 38! She's been doing some quests in STV, Wetlands, and Desolace.

I will being going to the GmeStop Midnight Launch party for WotLK. So if anyone else reserved their copy at the GameStop in the Bridgewater Commons Mall in NJ, I'll see you there!

Special thank you to Kasra for the Tricky Treats!

So, AntiTweak has been working on some Achievements. She camped out Lil'Timmy for the white kitten (& had some guy called her a jerk or something, when my friend & I had been waiting for over half an hour & he just walked up). AntiTweak has quite a few pets now, so she should get that achievement soon.
Now that Hallow's End is over, we are hoping to finally do our SM runs. I know we've been talking about this for almost a year. It will happen! Soon, we hope.

I just went through the screenshot folders on the main computer and found some old pics that never got posted!
( Random, Fire Festival, Mounts & Hallow's End )

How spooky!
I installed the last patch on my laptop and WoW still runs! Actually, I'm not lagging like I used too, so I don't know what Blizzard did, but /cheer! I'm really excited for WotLK. I didn't get my vacation time, but I still have off on my birthday (when it comes out, best b-day present ever).

AntiTweak is 36! She got her mounts (all three sabers, because I couldn't choose one). I do have a screenshot, but its on the other computer. Sorry.
Hallow's End has started! I love this holiday more than any other. Already AntiTweak has done Tricks and Treats for both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. She's also done Check Your Head, That Sparkling Smile, The Mask Task, The Savior of Hallow's End, and Trick or Treat! She's still working on A Mask for All Occasions and The Masquerade.
The Tricks and Treats were interesting. Eastern Kingdoms was easy until I had to go to Eastern Plaguelands. AntiTweak started in Hillsbrad Foothills and walked along the river until she got to Western Plaguelands and from there into the Eastern Plaguelands. She was ok till she hit that town and it took 2 deaths to cross that and a third to get to Light's Hope Chapel, but she made it.
( AntiTweak in Light's Hope Chapel )
For Kalimdor, I asked my boyfriend to help me around. I had completed most of them already, but I was not looking forward to going to Silithus (which means going through Tanaris and Un'Goro). He helped me out there, and going though Timbermaw Hold to get to Winterspring. Atleast I have all those flightpoints now.
( AntiTweak meets Linken in Marshal's Refuge )
He also went through all of his characters trying to get wands to transform AntiTweak. We got most of them. I hope to get the rest within the next few days.
After Hallow's End, we hope to run SM with our friends so AntiTweak can finally get her new tabard. For now she's started quests in Stranglethorn Vale.

AntiTweak is 34! I know, long time no update, but I've been busy. More soon... Maybe...

Its coming out on my Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but this is like the best present ever. I also got beta access. If you play on the Northrend server, add Wfckuroneko to your friends list!

I am looking forward to the achievements for AntiTweak. This will give me something else to do with her (I haven't give up on leveling her!). Due to personal issues and WotLK beta, I haven't had time to work on her, but I am working on forming a group for SM.

The WoW Division of my gaming clan has been removed. Jenn (ex-guildleader/GoA) basically took everyone out of the guild and moved them to her family's guild because she did not like the way things were being run. We tried to rebuild, but that didn't work. So they decided to get rid of the division.
Out of game things have been difficult for me. Money problems and life have been getting in the way of things. Hopefully things will get better though.

Sorry about not doing anything for a long time. I moved to a new apartment and had some other real life issues. I did level Kuroneko to 70. :)

I did some work on AntiTweak today. She is almost 33. I have to get things in order for her to run SM.

Happy Noblegarden

AntiTweak enjoys her first Noblegarden (I don't think she participated last year).

( Follow the brightly colored eggs... )

As promised, the screenshots from AntiTweak's Gnomeregan adventure.

( Gnomer Screenshots )

I was made the GM of my guild and that is why I have not been updating like I was supposed too. Its a lot of hard work being a GM and to top it off, I'm having issues at my job IRL. I'm hoping to get more done with AntiTweak soon.

Went on a rather unusual Gnomer run today...

AntiTweak 31/32 Druid
Droogle 37 Hunter
Denannian 30 Hunter

We went in to kill one guy, and well, we got killed a few times. AntiTweak leveled...
That's all.

Screens later...

My Draenei, Ikari, reached exalted status with Darnassus today. Now, I'm kinda lost... That was my whole reason for leveling the way I was... I guess I can just keep going, lol. I need to get that kitty for her. She also has to be level 40 to use it...
( Classic screenshot or it didn't happen )

Welcome to 2008!
This year the AntiTweak Project is hoping to move into the 40s and I personally hope to level Kuroneko to 70.
Goals
Complete Gnomeregan
Take on Scarlet Monastary
Get the Scarlet Crusade Tabard (& rock it like it's going out of style!)
Go to Uldaman
Maybe hit the Razorfens

We're taking one day, one quest, and one instance at a time.
Also, =WFC= has a new tabard... Again...
( I liked the old tabard better )

Back to Gnomeregan Third Time's the Charm
AntiTweak 31 Druid
Fatguy 39 Hunter
Dazarlex 33 Paladin
Charay 28/29 Shaman
Lvjiov 40 Hunter

First off, I want to say Charay was awesome! Passed on most of the stuff and never needed (that I noticed). I hope to work with her again in the future.
Second, "Lvjiov" was horrible. He needed on a lot of stuff and didn't speak to us at all. We didn't kick him, but we watched him. We let him pick need or greed before we did so if he needed, we all would too. He seemed to straighten out about a third of the way through.
It was a great run. I didn't get all of my quests done, but we are probably going back. No one complained about me and no one died. We wiped the floor with most of the guys, but then again, we ran with a 39 and 40...
( Screens!! )

Tomorrow will be one year since I started the AntiTweak Project. Although I've only reached 31, I know that by this time next year, she will be level 60.
The primary reason for lack of work on AntiTweak was because I was waiting for a Gnomeregan run, but its been hard to find a group. Everyone hates Gnomer and those that do run, are a bunch of n00bs. I'm going to try one last time and if it can't be done, I'll just have to move on. I will be running Scarlet Monastery though, just for the tabard!
2.3 came as a huge blow to us at the AntiTweak Project (all one of me). Although it made things easier for others, reaching 60 on AntiTweak just won't be the same.

Overall, 2007 has been a good year for me when it comes to World of Warcraft. My main finally reached 60, and all of my other characters are above 30. I got promoted within my division (guild) to Major General (fourth highest rank). I got the ball rolling on my own WoW website, and I'm hoping to move to a space of my own...

OMFG I'm 58 *squeeeeee* because 58 is the new 60...

Sorry, but I have been leveling as much as possible to try to reach 60 before December 5 (the date I started playing two years ago... I know I suck). That means kinda leaving my other characters behind a little. When I'm not on Kuroneko, I've been lurking on Ikari. Since 2.3 its been easier than pie (by the way, I baked 3 yesterday, from scratch) to level. 2.3 has been a double edge sword for me (see last post), and I'm trying not to get too upset about it.
Today, I had about a quarter to go on my bar and I had to squeeze all that XP in in under an hour... I did it and ran to the Dark Portal! :) So now I'm standing in the Outlands just outside of the portal. *squee*
Now I can spend some time on AntiTweak. I hoping that my guildies can help her out with the Gnomer run (so I can finally get it done).

As many people already know, in patch 2.3 they have lowered the amount of XP needed to reach 60.
We here at the AntiTweak project are not pleased with this move. Our original goal of reaching 60 has now been compromised by this patch.
We will continue the project as planned. Even if reaching 60 doesn't have the same meaning it once did in the pre 2.3/BC era, we will push on.
