I have not visited World of Warcraft since I left St. Maarten in June of '09.
I missed the game for a while, then found that I no longer missed WoW, but I did miss my friends, especially those from the guild, Elders of Legend.
The guild is still going strong, as I keep in contact with the current guild leader, Nan.
Well done Nan!

February
I miss WoW!!
I cannot buy a gamecard or the expansion here, for the US servers. South Africa falls into the Euro servers.
As I dont have a credit rating, and am self employed, I cannot get a credit card. However, I can get a "special" card after March 5, which is my 60th birthday. (The banks here in SA are weird!)
The other issue is the quality of Internet here. There is no cable Internet. WiFi Internet is in its infancy. The so-called broadband is via normal phone lines. The packet loss is just plain bad.
So, some time in March I will be trying out some options.

Moving!
I am in the process of moving to Johannesburg, South Africa.
At the moment I do not have Internet, and will not have Internet in South Africa until settled. That may be late July.

Guild guidelines, and other stuff.
People play World of Warcraft for:
We are a casual-style guild with raiders, dungeoners, and those that prefer not to go into instances.
We have many couples, parent and "child", and grandparents.
I have not bothered with working out our average age, suffice to say I, the Guild Leader, am 59 years old.
Our gender makeup is 60% male, 40% female. (Compared to the standard 84/16!)
Elders of Legend has few rules.
It may seem like the average age for World of Warcraft is 14 years old, but according to some surveys, 84 percent of "World of Warcraft" players are male, and 16 percent are female. The average player's age is 28, and female players tend to be a few years older than male players. Regardless of their gender, players spend an average of 21 to 22 hours a week playing the game
Note: Asked many times... How do you know the person is really over 25?
This is very easy. New members have a 14 day Initiate period. The guild will soon know if the new person is really mature enough to stay with the guild. How? Speech and actions!
:)
- Socializing with real-life or in-game friends
- Exploring the virtual world
- Competing against real or virtual opponents
- Entertainment, relaxation
- Accomplishment that comes from in-game achievement.

- PG13 - Swearing will have one warning, and one only
- Courtesy - Harassment - one warning. Sexual Harassment - instant dismissal, and a note to Blizzard.

Feb update
Back to having issues with my Internet service. My latency in WoW has gone from the 300's to between 600 - 1200ms, which is no good for grouping.
Basicly, Bikutanda the level 80 Hunter does the fishing and cooking dailies, runs a skinning route in Scholozar Basin, then thats it.
I made a new Tauren Hunter, and have been running him mostly. The idea is to go with what he gets from quests and drops, without twinking. I do have Bikutanda make leather gear now and then.
A few weeks ago, I dusted my level 29 Rogue. This Rogue was my pure pvp character. However, for some reason the level 29 battlegroups are not as popular as before. The waits in the queue would be longer than 30 minutes. Soooo, I took him out questing. I tried a few random dungeons, but the latency issue is very bad for a contact melee type.
The baby Hunter is level 28, and the Rogue is level 32.
I plan to level these 2 up in different zones, to avoid boredom.

New Tabard
As Two Bit Horde had the same tabard as Elders of Legend, we changed the tabard on Dec 18.

Race Change
Bikutanda is no longer a Troll!
Yah, he is now an ORC.
I have not liked the forever-stooping-and-stretching look of the Troll. In fact it became annoying to look at this character from the back. I splurged on the $25.00 and took the race change.
I actually like the Orc, because of the size and most animations. Orcs need to have some work done on the gun-shooting animation! Its pretty bad.
I will tru scrounge up some before and after images.
