World of Warcraft trial - Day 9
Stayed up almost until midnight again, which was Not Good. But it was fun.
I was working on a quest with another player, an investigation into the death and/or disappearance of two guards near a Murloc village (if you don't know Murlocs, think of a half-sized Creature From the Black Lagoon).
The problem is that A) the little bastards are fairly powerful, B) they tend to attack in groups, and C) there are a lot of dangerous animals in the area who tend to be drawn in when combat starts.
We got killed several times, and had to run away a lot. I used my new Polymorph spell to turn enemies into sheep when necessary, but it didn't last long. So basically we're at a stalemate. I suspect that we'll want to level up elsewhere, perhaps with easier quests, and then come back to this one.
But I did start getting some insight into strategy in WoW. It's possible to "draw" an enemy from one member of the party to another. That gets them running an extra lap, so to speak, during which they can be hit by ranged weapons or spells. I imagine that this could be a very effective technique, particularly if a group set things up so as to draw enemies from one member to another in a planned sequence.
I'm thinking I might buy one of those 60-day cards, rather than give them my debit card number. It would be a better way to test things out without committing to too much.
Does anyone else play a Tauren, by the way?

no subject
The more closely resemble bipedal Turkeyfish.
A. Yup.
B. Yup. Aggro ranges.
C. Yup. Helps to kill them first before drawing the enemy with ranged attacks.
If ya want I can start one??? I've been through all the different starting areas.
