Auction House Gold Rush!

I went from 1400 to 3900 gold on my banker in one weekend! At this rate I may be able to afford two fast flyers soon! I'm not doing anything super sneaky/secret - just found something I can farm during my kids' naps and sell in the AH for decent profit. I'll post specific details later once my luck runs out. :)

That is all!

Achievements FTW!

I'm not sure I have any readers atm since it's been so long but I figured I'd post something anyhow for my own records/etc.

I just wanted to post that I think the new ACHIEVEMENTS system in WoTLK is great! I suppose it would be hard to find someone who thought otherwise. In any case - the reasons *I* personally think it's great are:

• Whole new layer to game!
• It's another "bite size" way to play the game over time - if you're like me and don't have enough free time to schedule more traditional play stuff (heroics, arena, group questing).
• It breathes life (or at least one last dying breath) into the "old world" areas as many achievements encourage folks to go see, do, kill, etc things from the old areas of the game.
• It's like POKéMON and has that "gotta catch 'em all" feeling!

In addition to just enjoying single achievments as my toons get them, I'm have long/short term plans on getting Hoof the "Accomplished Angler (Fishing)" achievement for the "Salty" title and Hoofie the "Hail to the Chef (Cooking)" one for the "Chef" title. I may never get the Salty one because the final item I need to do is based largely on LUCK (a fishing tournament every Sunday at 3PM) - but I'm fairly certain I'll get the "Chef" one at least.

There are of course more impressive titles from PVP, arenas, raiding and exploring (even one that comes from getting *25* mounts!!!!) - but the fishing and cooking ones are things I can do w/my tricky free-time schedule and I do actually enjoy both fishing and cooking in game (I bet my wife wished I was that way IRL!... at least the cooking).
