Not many news... I'm very busy studing some arcane scrolls so I don't have too much time for killing monsters.

I've battled again horde enemies (they appear to like this zone, I've identified at least three back again from the last encounter).
With an elven mate we managed to free an encampment from a tauren druid and an undead mage.
Later I found the same undead rogue that I battled multiple times, and I died, but I'm improving my skills disarming, slowing, and stunning for next encounters with rogues.
Finally, I went back to the encampment after finishing a quest (killing some big, nasty elder tigers) just to discover it was overrun with horde... I counted 2 warriors, 1 mage, one rogue, one warlock and at least one hunter, at least one of them high-level (I can't measure yet their level if they're too strong for me).

So... I went back to Ironforge, smelted some minerals, helped the local dwarven cloth store (by donating to them 60 silk cloth pieces), and take a ride to Wetlands to finish some quests (now that I'm more powerful).

I have decided to keep some notes of my findings, so that my masters will be pleased.

I lurk in the shadows. I move silently. My name is not important. My missions are not to be revealed.

I have come to bring some pain and suffering to this lands. And so it will be.

I'm still young but my flesh is already rotten. I have so much to learn, to practice, to expertise in. But I've got time and all will be as planned.

I've started to do some little tasks for local chiefs, like Gordo.

The tasks I've been assigned to are so fun. From killing human farmers from a nearby field, to trying alchemist's potions to transform humans into ghouls.

Still, the humans live not so far to the south, so I'll be careful until I can face and stab them.

In another server (where my sweet friend Sigilo plays) I play the horde faction.
Although it's an alt. pj (I don't play so much compared with the main character), I'm trying to play "always rested time" to get 200% experience always. I've got 5 characters in the Alliance server (probably I'll make a 6th one to try the remaining proffesions) and two in the horde one, and I'll switch between them to make the others recharge rest time.

Seems crazy but I prefer to level multiple characters to lvl60 instead of focusing on just one and getting the best equipment for him (which can be done at any time).

Nevertheless, I'm going to write right now journals only for my main character in the alliance (human warrior) and in the horde (undead rogue) servers.

Yesterday was a very challenging day in my life.

I'm starting to go deep into the jungles of Stranglethorn Valley (where I'm staying since some time because there are monsters of increasing difficulty perfect to improve my battle skills), and things are getting really dangerous.

There are a lot of horde enemies. Literally. I've started to improve my combat skills just to survive. You can be killing a panther or tiger, and suddenly an enemy attacks you (if you're lucky, they usually come in small groups of 2 or 3).

I've killed some of them, mostly same level foes, but I discovered two things. One, that I cause some pain to stronger foes than me (not too stronger but a bit), and the other than same applies the inverse way.

Later, Sarita came and we finally had some fun together as I had promised her.

Nice looking sword. Too bad someday will be destroyed as Sarita, being a paladin, will surely use a mace or warhammer (to whom she has racial bonus).

We went to the rebel camp to kill their leader Kurzen. We reached his position, killed his bodyguards, and started a furious fight with him... But he was too much for us. After almost killing him, we both finally died.

We swore vengeance, and soon we'll come back to get rid of him.

After all this combat in just a few hours, I went to swim a bit, under the pale moonlight.

The level difference was me being 36 and my enemy a lvl 39 rogue when I won, and 36 the other rogue that killed me twice.
Skills controlling the character and having strategies to kill opponents are crucial. I'm loving this pvp. People that dislikes it say that not fearing to lose equipment makes it boring, but it's the inverse; by not fearing to lose your objects, you can be more aggresive (which Blizzard wants between the two factions).

Today has been quite fun. I walked for not too long this lands, but I had some interesting encounters.

First I was fighting with rebel warriors, when one of then turned out to be an allied spy. I helped him to escape and now I'll try to help finding some information from the enemies.

Just a bit later, I was killing some huge panthers, when some Horde enemies appeared from nowhere (well... actually from behind me) and killed me very fast (I can't stand to enemies at one, at least with my current equipment).

When I got killed, a female rogue night elf dropped from shadows to help me. She died too, but we made a party to defend ourselves better. We killed bigger (and in less time) foes.

After helping her to obtain some shadow panther skins, she guided me to an expedition camp that I didn't know yet. The problem is that is in the middle of the jungle, so too often Horde enemies attack it.

And lastly I went back to Ironforge's Inn, to have some beer and rest until my next adventures.

Not so much has happened since last entry... I'm still in Stranglethorn Vale, killing some Goblins and jungle beasts (there are HUGE tigers out there).

Killing a nasty gobling geologist. Sometimes they have "lumberjackers" with them (big and dangerous machines with sharp razor-discs).

It's not an easy zone. As it's close to Booty Bay , there are lots of enemies (today I was killed by a high-level Tauren warrior, and escaped from a Undead rogue) and you've got to be very careful and watch out for incoming foes.

Too much work and lots of things to do (in real life), so I don't play much and therefore I'm leveling slowly.
