And so it ends...

Now that the open beta testing of World of Warcraft has ended, I can resurface again. My last entry complained about various aspects of the game and I'm glad to report that most of the bugs I've encountered have been fixed. In fact, the game is quite fun now! While there are annoying quests and such, there are also some cool ones where a large party is required. There are even raid quests also, so more than 5 ppl can go together. Ah well, all that remains is to see if I subscribe to it. For now, I've posted some screenshots. (NOTE: While first 3 pics are small, the rest are bigger/actual window size)

A picture of my character (dead). The other two people/portraits are other members of my party.
Another view of the same death. The environment/world is very nicely made.
Server restarting due to lag? bug fixes? The world is ghostly, which is neat... also note resurrection option.
Remember my complaints about lag? This time I didn't even get the revive option since it's so laggy.
The following are from last night, when tons of ppl starting raiding since open beta was ending...
Raid begins. Green names mean Alliance/Allies, so they're flagged as PvP (also denoted by little shield by my portrait). This means that we're fair game for any Hordes. In the lower left you can see combat and chat messages. I'm currently chatting with Sunstroke, my classmate.
Another pic (lov the scenery)
Waiting for Hordes to arrive at Alliance town Astranaar. These ppl have blue names since we haven't attacked any players recently, so PvP isn't on.
Alliance fighting Hordes (red names) and the computer guards outside of their encampment. We were #@$%ed.
Corpses of ppl outside of Astranaar
More corpses... lots died in that raid...
Waiting for next raid...
Hordes around my corpse, so I didn't resurrect yet...
End of open beta - it was fun! I got to ride in that ship also...

Ha ha, but you at least have your party portrait... I think... Or you can recreate your character in retail! Although I'm debating if I want to join a PvP server...
