I headed back to Storm Peaks in WoW tonight to resume questing, but I had to cut one of the quest chains short because some jerk was killing a quest target over and over again. I’m not sure why they’d do it other than to deny other people the ability to do the quest, since they don’t drop any special loot like they would have back in EQ. I couldn’t even ask them to stop since they were Alliance.

Ah well, I headed to the northwest area and helped out the rock dwarves and Horde camp there, getting a bunch of lore about Ulduar in the process. There was a fight against someone named Valduran that turned out to be difficult for tanks like me since he continually spams spells, and I failed a few times, but finally got it on the fourth try with the right combination of shield bash and spell reflection.

I’m about half-done in Storm Peaks now, and along the way I managed to break the 4000 gold mark and now have four weapon skills at the 400 skill level. Just 1000 more gold to go for my last major expense…
