Hello CAW,

My name is Jortandra.  I ave been listening to your podcast for a couple of years now and have to say it is one of my favorites.  The enthusiasm for WoW that comes through during your episodes is very infectious.  I would love to be part of the CAW community and hope this quick email is sufficient to qualify me for an invitation to the Guild.

Hi COD Crew,

I am a big fan of the show! I don't play alts but I learn a lot listening to your adventures.   I play a dwarven priest named Fiderbooze on a PVP server.  Some of my fondest

memories of the game are battling horde on an open world server.   Taren Mill, Booty Bay, the gankfests trying to get into MC or other raids were all fun times.  The anxiety of questing in an area where you might get ganked really adds to the fun of the game IMO.

 So my question to you all is do you think you are potentially missing the best part of the game by playing on a PVE server?

Sincerely

Fiderbooze

PS I am 46 so it's just not kids that play alliance!

Greetings C.A.W. peoples,

I know the pet battle episode was a couple weeks back, but I just wanted to mention a few things:

First up is a link to a very detailed PvP pet battle guide found on the WoW forums. Click here

Second is next Friday is the official start of summer, so along with Midsummer Festival event starting up again we'll have our chance to capture the elusive Qiraji Guardling in Silithus. I'm betting that pet will be the last pet most people need for the Taming Kalimdor achievement.

Last is the Blossoming Ancient pet is now available from the Blizzard store, so if any of you guys have ten bucks to burn i recommend picking up one.

Ok I think I've rambled enough for one e-mail

Laters for now.

Hi guys - I have been so frustrated lately healing in lower level dungeons that I just had to put a plea out there to all the Monk Tanks.  You guys are awesome tanks, except for one REALLY annoying habit that I have seen consistently on almost ALL Monk tanks.  Love you guys and have a great show!!!

Juuno & Pixiegirl

Hi Aprillian, Ashayo, Tedrah, & Jeppy

 It's Friday and of course by now you know that our Juuno is on her Halloween trip, yep I know it's a little early in the year yet. But hey that's my girl, when it comes to anything that has to do with THAT holiday she is in lol

 And from the posts on twitter sounds like she is having a blast, yeah I'm like all of you the only information I get is through twitter!

Anyway last Friday's night raid was awesome we had a total of 19 people all together, even our Jeppy joined us for a little, nice surprise that was :-) And a big thanks to all of you for coming with us. Not sure how our sweet Leeta puts up with us sometimes, but she does and does an awesome job of being our raid leader!

 Saturday's raid with Tedrah was another awesome day with a very nice turn out, and again our Jeppy joined us, Aprillian came along too :-) We had a lot of fun, I love our times together. Tedrah did a great job of leading us through the Black Temple! And I'm looking forward to this Saturday see what she has in mind for us, thanks Tedrah :-)

 My druid went from one bar into level 70 to one bar from level 75! Thanks to Big Steve, so if you haven't tried the Elixir of Ancient of Knowledge you should it's amazing! She is the next one who will join the Clan of Darkness, that will leave only four on Korialstrasz! lol

 Speaking of, I did bring my mage over to Earthen Ring only she is a member of Aie, thanks to Takemikazuch, Amijadethelock, Cyberwaif & Lilulicious. Takemikazuch asked so nicely I couldn't say no :-) She is in Fortuna with Take & Leeta, got to say I'm a little lost right now, you wouldn't know it but I am a little shy until I get to know people lol

Well that's it for me this last week, hope everyone is kicking butt on & off the game!

Big Hugs & Kisses

Juuno & Pixiegirl

We love you gals & guys

PS Juuno made me promise I would send in an email :-)

PSS Kittyfox hope your move went well this week, and really missed you on the game!

Pontis hope you had a really nice vacation, missed you too!

Aprillian I hope you join us today Saturday, love having you run with us!

Mata shame on you really Rift! lol

What We've Been Doing:

Aprillian

Ran with CoD, had so much fun. Dual boxed while editing 322, hope it came out all right.

Woke up Sun realizing I hadn’t done my gardening.

Taking Prillian around on Epril to explore Pandaria. Prillian started out at 30%

Forgot about the mining in Pandaria. Prillilan was 303, mined Kyparite and got 11,440

Ruh Roh, While flying through Kun-Lai Summit, flying through Peak of Serenity, Prillian kept being pulled in. Epril would go and get her and it would happen again. When Prillian tried to hearth, she would end up back in the same place. Finally noticed the portal to Org, took it and hearthed, should have gone to DMF

Ashayo

LostTreasures mod

Hiide started at 63% into 87. Ran out of rested xp at 50% of 88. Quested till 89

Ding 90!

Still get disconnected riding 2 seater

Got the [Riches of Pandaria] achievement. Need to find the rare spawns to get the title.

Got a (grey) Unborn Val'kyr from Howling Fjord

Got the picolo that makes everyone dance from Stratholme!

Finally did all the LFR in ToT on Jekle. No idea what was going on. LOL Unlucky Streak in 5.3 doesn’t treat me well.

CoD - Onyxia, Obsidium Sanctum, Lich King, Trial of Champions, Ruby Sanctum

Hey everybody,

Hope you all had a better week than I did. Everything just seemed off all week. I did manage to get my WoW time in however. I got my Monk to level 35 as planned. I'll be playing a lot this weekend, and i'm actually going to start a Death Knight alt! I started running out of rested before my daily playtime is up, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to play an alt after my rested runs out on my Panda Monk. I consulted a few experts on the subject (aprillian), and it appears my DK needs to be an Orc. We'll see if that actually happens once I get into the creator though. And i'm considering xferring my 85 Undead Rogue over from Lightening's Blade, although due to a $235 surprise from the BMV to register my Soul... yes, my soul. Kia Soul that is, I may be a little more strapped for cash than I previously expected to be. Although, it's bothering me that I have to keep switching servers. I may just skip something I usually buy for a week and transfer though.

Oh, and I saw updates all week (or some of it) from Junno on twitter and instagram. She's been in my neck of the woods all week it appears! I'm in central Indiana, and it seems she was up where I grew up near Lake Michigan. Hope she had a wonderful, and spooky, time!

I really have enjoyed playing with everyone thus far, and can't wait to spend more time in game this week! Have a great week next week, and I look forward to listening on Saturday!

To be read in a high pitched helium voice…

Hello CaW crew, Aprillian, Ashayo, El Jeppy, and Tedra. Sorry for the late email entry. Not a lot of time for wow since last we spoke aside from the incredible CoD dungeon pet gathering marathon of last week. I was great, We went to a bunch of raids and dungeons, had an awesome time and everyone got a cool battle pet it was so… no wait thats not what happened, We did a but load of dungeons, has an awesome time fun time however no one got any battle pets alt all :(

It really was great fun hanging with all our terrific guildies. Hope to do it again this weekend :)

Sitting for yeh olde dungeon marathon can be a little hard on the bum as I have a very poor excuse for a computer chair. I was wondering what kind of comfy computer chairs that you guys have and if you might recommend a style or brand that will a little kinder to my tired tushy?

Cheers and thanks for your kick ass podcast love you all

and remember undead love is forever…

PS

below is a photo of my cruel chair
