A is for Alpha. B is for Beta. BC is for Burning Crusade alpha and beta tester!

For those of you who read my other blog, Mommy Needs Coffee, you may be aware that I have had some medical issues I have been dealing with. So, you may be assuming that is why I have not blogged about World of Warcraft or Marama, my beloved Night Elf. You may reason that I have not been playing WoW and therefore couldn't blog about it.

Well, actually, you would be wrong. Well, partially wrong. I haven't actually been playing my character Marama in World of Warcraft as much as I was. Did I quit? Nope. Did I decide I couldn't be a gamer? Not at all.

So what have I been doing?

Playing the Friends and Family Alpha edition of The Burning Crusade, baby.

You read that right. Me--the "latest neo-gamer" I believe I was called by some silly website. I have been having the time of my life playing WoW- The Burning Crusade.

I have been playing the so called secret "friends and family alpha test" for relatives and associates of Blizzard's employees for quite a while now. It was very hard to not talk about playing The Burning Crusade, but there was an agreement that contains a clause strictly forbidding participants to even acknowledge the program's existence. But let me tell you something. It existed.

Now I am playing the Burning Crusade closed beta edition. How do I let you know how much fun this is? How about...it totally kicks ass! I have created character after character to just see what new spells and talents they have. I will continue to blog about both the WoW experience and Burning Crusade experience--now that I can acknowledge that it exists.

I can admit to playing the game and can tell you with no fear of you ever coming back to me doubting my word, you will really enjoy WoW-BC. I wouldn't lie to you.

Here are a few screenshots from the Blizzard website. If you enjoy WoW, you will really enjoy The Burning Crusade!

So, do you count as friends, or family?

I would count as friends.

But if they send me the collector's edition of The Burning Crusade, I will totally marry one of them. ;-)

K, were you crushed that they moved the date to January 2007 now? Even I was crushed at that one. But it is a good thing. It will make the game EVEN BETTER!

I just want to get ANYTHING to level 60! Heck, I will be happy with 40 now.
