Hello there, and an early Happy New Year! For those of you still following this blog, I apologize for the long absence. I've had a number of developments in my life, some positive, some negative, but all time-consuming, and I haven't been updating like I should. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm pleased to announce that I'll be coming back to start the New Year, and you might say I've got new incentive to get in shape, and a new way to lose weight!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just purchased myself a new bike, since the old one kept jumping the chain, and rendering all attempts at working out kind of pointless. This one is lighter, keeps track of distance traveled and calories burned, and provides more opportunities at a varied workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More importantly, my wife and I found out in October that we will be adopting a baby that is expected in mid-to-late February, so the next several months will be spent getting in shape for running after a baby, picking up a baby, carrying a baby, playing with a baby...well, you get the idea. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I'm sorry for the long absence, and I'll be back better than ever in the New Year.

I'd like to first express my appreciation to everyone who participated in the polls that determined my new character's race and class, in addition to the appreciation that I have for people who stop by the blog daily or subscribe, for their ongoing support. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While the vote for goblins was fairly one-sided, (and I'm happy about it, since it means that I get to not only play one of the two new Cataclysm races, but also experience Horde content for the first time) the class vote was hotly contested until at the end, mages won out. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qeExfWLCDcmMS-2spG0jrXoSNssl6HUBa5D_kwlpN4PY0Lb4lmCDD0uKd1arMgxvqMWKhH4K4G6lWcvJ4MPrFMgoXPU4c3NhHhFwmuCx8bJ2QexyA0DlmhsietFugVymAazpdyAfV2W5/s1600/Class+Poll.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="96" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qeExfWLCDcmMS-2spG0jrXoSNssl6HUBa5D_kwlpN4PY0Lb4lmCDD0uKd1arMgxvqMWKhH4K4G6lWcvJ4MPrFMgoXPU4c3NhHhFwmuCx8bJ2QexyA0DlmhsietFugVymAazpdyAfV2W5/s400/Class+Poll.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ah mages, those fragile, yet lethal damage-dealing machines.

Nothing, for my money!

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The expository fly-over of the starting area, (which every race gets) explains that the Goblins are ruled by the greedy, power-hungry Trade Princes, and keep mostly to themselves, choosing not to pick a side in the ongoing conflict between the Horde and Alliance, (why do that, when you can cater to both sides and get double the profit?) They inhabit the seedy city of Kezan, in the shadow of an active volcano (foreshadowing!) and have, over time, become extremely shrewd, due to their exposure to kaja'mite ore, which they harvest from mines underneath the volcano. At first, they were made to harvest the ore by the local trolls inhabiting the area, but after prolonged exposure, they become intelligent enough to turn the tables, and enslave the trolls. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6WyM1h76oWRilktqx6DhVoyMcprbKJe4wiIg6iPVuo9XBjd59F2fHk8VRqggI8LTvw5AiPhAtLIvHQUbF1SgJ202zqL1w9tnCSjc_lguc6PrpgANvhUERuUDn5ykQbwAEaWXZlukfuG3E/s1600/WoWScrnShot_053011_004948.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6WyM1h76oWRilktqx6DhVoyMcprbKJe4wiIg6iPVuo9XBjd59F2fHk8VRqggI8LTvw5AiPhAtLIvHQUbF1SgJ202zqL1w9tnCSjc_lguc6PrpgANvhUERuUDn5ykQbwAEaWXZlukfuG3E/s320/WoWScrnShot_053011_004948.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Our character owns a kaja'mite mine, and has come up with the brilliant idea to manufacture it as a beverage that gives the imbiber intelligence.

</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It doesn't take a detective to figure out that the above picture was taken last Christmas. It was also a point in my life where I had bottomed out, and was completely unmotivated to stick to any kind of diet or workout routine. In prior months I had been able to stick to both for a week...maybe two, before I would maybe have a bad day at work and stress-eat, or be out at a party where I'd succumb to a couple of beers, and eventually, the mindset of "Well, I've already ruined today, might as well go whole hog..." would rear its ugly head. People who have been frustrated with weight loss will know the rest. One day would turn into a week...which would turn into a month. And that's where I was on Christmas. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I began this blog in late January. It was something that had been rattling around in my brain for some time, the idea of turning this weight loss into a game, but my primary reason for starting then was to A) maybe alleviate some of the knee and back issues that I'd been experiencing before our scheduled Disney World trip in a couple of weeks, and B) get started on my weight loss earlier than my usual April-May kick, so that I could go to the beach during the summer and not be completely self-conscious. </span><br />

As I've already said, YOU are going to decide what I do this time through Levels 1-85, so please, visit the <a href="http://levelingdown.blogspot.com/">home page</a> of the blog and vote for what race you would like to see. Sometime next week I will put up the class vote, and shortly thereafter, professions. If you want to lobby a particular race or class, send this to your friends and get out the vote. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

However, one dwarf sees an opportunity; if one of the Firebeards marries a Thundermar, they'll be bound by blood to unite. You discuss the idea with the two dwarves involved, and they both agree, as they've fallen in love in a recent battle. You help with the marriage preparation, like escorting the vital beer to the ceremony...</span><br />

I've reached Level 85 in the 102 days that I've been keeping this blog since January 28, 2011. I'm proud to report that I've lost 45 pounds, and am feeling great. Before and after pictures will be featured in my Level 85 post. However, I still have some work to do, and I'd like to keep this going until I reach my ultimate goal. Therefore, I am going to start from Level 1 again...with a twist. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

And since I've gotten some feedback from people telling me that "You missed ____," or "There's not enough Horde stuff," I am putting the decisions of what race and class my character will be, and what professions they will have, into the hands of the readers. On the <a href="http://levelingdown.blogspot.com/">blog's main page</a>, I have created a poll, which will determine my character's race. Sometime soon, I will tally the results and put up another poll, this time to determine the class, and later on, professions. I hope that if you are reading this on an RSS or Google Reader, that you click over and vote, because the more interactive this is, the more fun. It just takes a second, so VOTE OR DIE (or don't vote, whatever.) Also, encourage your friends to vote, if for no other reason than to ensure that I play a blood elf something, who has to suffer through the engineering slog.

Meanwhile, Blue Dragonflight minions surfed around on discs like <a href="http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Kit_Cloudkicker">Kit Cloudkicker</a>, also attacking the group with magic spells, so members of the raid needed to hop on their own discs and kill them. Finally, when all of his minions had been defeated, Malygos shattered the platform in a rage, attempting to send the raid members falling to their deaths, but drakes of the Red Dragonflight showed up in the nick of time to catch the players, and the final phase of the fight began. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUaMdzo9Z6KMvWmyrCsQxAfpw67zZs7dQxujPv3m7Ic2vuZKdooZeyV901OQaBpWWUhnsvGdLXXPLHqv2TQgEzTQAVuaOebmLpRR-G16nP_BPDl5b1-ZHRPcJfjdQonoeA-D6TC67xjWN3/s1600/Malygos+fight+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUaMdzo9Z6KMvWmyrCsQxAfpw67zZs7dQxujPv3m7Ic2vuZKdooZeyV901OQaBpWWUhnsvGdLXXPLHqv2TQgEzTQAVuaOebmLpRR-G16nP_BPDl5b1-ZHRPcJfjdQonoeA-D6TC67xjWN3/s400/Malygos+fight+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While riding drakes, the players needed to both deal damage to Malygos and mitigate and heal through the damage that he was dealing out.

En route on a flying gryphon, your escort fills you in on how Yorg came to be king of the frost dwarves. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyWf8Dg3nJopWcmBpy6zFjMGIvASxO4eWpZRRfrULuGf-90_OmcQjcRyzpknoNMuMOPNAGXGLcmzZ6TDAbDE7WgcD_i3zhrxhD7YeZ3ldeN2NNLaGuZGpubd19eSFeucpk74Qu4NBwa3g8/s1600/Muradinscourse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyWf8Dg3nJopWcmBpy6zFjMGIvASxO4eWpZRRfrULuGf-90_OmcQjcRyzpknoNMuMOPNAGXGLcmzZ6TDAbDE7WgcD_i3zhrxhD7YeZ3ldeN2NNLaGuZGpubd19eSFeucpk74Qu4NBwa3g8/s400/Muradinscourse.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Then he drops you on a cliff ledge and has you battle a giant iron dwarf. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjKHya74fet-45O15zeVC-cMjJoflYMoCMyXM6ILWPER3YovxXzaS94BCi0EF4RkPVWliSquf5VasXnuiCuc26scDqF8g58atcbxXiMTwBVmeo4FR6zhiTW_LuTU30WqKPWNXyigwM4MI/s1600/The_iron_watcher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXjKHya74fet-45O15zeVC-cMjJoflYMoCMyXM6ILWPER3YovxXzaS94BCi0EF4RkPVWliSquf5VasXnuiCuc26scDqF8g58atcbxXiMTwBVmeo4FR6zhiTW_LuTU30WqKPWNXyigwM4MI/s400/The_iron_watcher.jpg" width="336" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you succeed, you return to Yorg, and having proven your worth, he aids you in a long quest chain to find an ancient Titan artifact.

You are successful in helping him recover the artifact, and he accompanies you to Frosthold to thank Yorg personally for the help. When he meets the king, he is astonished to find that it is his long-lost brother, Muradin. It turns out that Muradin was with Arthas on his expedition to Northrend, and was with him in the cave when he found the cursed blade, Frostmourne, which completed his descent into madness. Muradin was thought dead in the explosion that occured when Arthas took the blade, but he was merely struck with amnesia, and was left wandering the Storm Peaks, where the frost dwarves found him.

While there is a fairly long storyline that brings you into the latter, the buildup for Violet Hold is relatively simple. You receive notice from Rhonin, the leader of the Kirin'Tor, that there is a jailbreak in progress at the prison in the center of Dalaran. Malygos has discovered a weakness in the building's roof, and is sending waves of his forces through in an attempt to break through into the city. You and your party are locked into the prison, and must survive multiple waves of enemies and bosses in order to protect Dalaran. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvGqF8vkOVFZbAbZEgkRIWDsEruDvKVUPvrJp23cf-aRBcOS3dp6W42j2kq4mU4iwr-EArl5OiYn0CoC9mBfrlaFCtuFnJeodUz5OhAAsVZ-xc6BJO08kDrDcSNK5pG1IvLj5GnIJKYAg/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvGqF8vkOVFZbAbZEgkRIWDsEruDvKVUPvrJp23cf-aRBcOS3dp6W42j2kq4mU4iwr-EArl5OiYn0CoC9mBfrlaFCtuFnJeodUz5OhAAsVZ-xc6BJO08kDrDcSNK5pG1IvLj5GnIJKYAg/s400/images.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are 18 waves of enemies altogether, and bosses come in during the 6th, 12th and 18th waves. The first two bosses are randomly drawn from a pool of six, but the final boss is always Cyanigosa, a blue dragon and lieutenant of Malygos. This dungeon has the added element of a door that you need to protect. Not only do you need to ensure that you and the rest of the party survive, but if the door is destroyed, you will fail the dungeon. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLC1zH3FeGkzXDo42Ud-meZuq7nv-B5LoXqACscev_IiSguSm8Gyg6mfPaL3Wn9pyLpse_T7n-XMyN_3sxOdWqlSUF8HqATTj_LXG14RrVJO0lWfK7Hh887pLAtmeNI8izzyiD56Jipg/s1600/Cyanigosa.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJLC1zH3FeGkzXDo42Ud-meZuq7nv-B5LoXqACscev_IiSguSm8Gyg6mfPaL3Wn9pyLpse_T7n-XMyN_3sxOdWqlSUF8HqATTj_LXG14RrVJO0lWfK7Hh887pLAtmeNI8izzyiD56Jipg/s400/Cyanigosa.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Drak'Tharon Keep is located between the two zones of Grizzly Hills and Zul'Drak, and continues the story of Drakuru, which began in Grizzly Hills.

Their leader, named Malygos, has gone insane and decided that basically everyone who uses magic, except for him, is a threat to the world, and needs to be stopped. You first encounter this threat at the Amber Ledge, where mages of the Kirin Tor are working with the Red Dragonflight to save some of their kidnapped members from the Blue Dragonflight. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmx3OaaIcMY6rasSoA-gwxxqmDRY5OnsS50DOYE5WUUCtFxbIA8YUAzaHPq5OiTSn3w8IcOgaiwBm2_F1rpEAPtPoUxj_b-0ChoN9f3-w2tO5XyAytDfaBtaG_dZqmLOMMAOZD4pTmAzY/s1600/WoWScrnShot_031311_114715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmx3OaaIcMY6rasSoA-gwxxqmDRY5OnsS50DOYE5WUUCtFxbIA8YUAzaHPq5OiTSn3w8IcOgaiwBm2_F1rpEAPtPoUxj_b-0ChoN9f3-w2tO5XyAytDfaBtaG_dZqmLOMMAOZD4pTmAzY/s400/WoWScrnShot_031311_114715.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Eventually, they fly you into the frozen region of the Tundra named Coldarra, where The Eye of Eternity, Malygos' base is located. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTlkNA_WaAPOFrQlVk7rj_hyphenhyphenYJgd1WJsq8ppiVAByYFoC7tGvsyL6tLGD0qOIdfbOUDTPJo3HJbOuSUeYRAUn5uyYz_2TXQrPoztdVUk8Ebi1g99ewd9EOFjUmQKisWl26qf1jEFOTNJA/s1600/WoWScrnShot_031311_120741.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTlkNA_WaAPOFrQlVk7rj_hyphenhyphenYJgd1WJsq8ppiVAByYFoC7tGvsyL6tLGD0qOIdfbOUDTPJo3HJbOuSUeYRAUn5uyYz_2TXQrPoztdVUk8Ebi1g99ewd9EOFjUmQKisWl26qf1jEFOTNJA/s400/WoWScrnShot_031311_120741.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Working with the Kirin Tor and Red Dragonflight, you participate in a plan to lure Malygos from his fortress and take him down.
