Into the great unknown…

July 26, 2009

My life outside of WoW has become increasingly hectic the past few months, culminating in a move back to my home state next week. This added stress has been the foremost reason I have been neglecting maintaining DruidKitty with regular updates: I do still have a lot to say, and a lot of information I want to share, but I simply don’t have the time currently to put in to this blog.

For this reason I am officially going on hiatus until I am more settled in from my move. I am not retiring the blog, just simply taking a step back from it for some time.

I am not taking a break from WoW or Raiding with my guild, Concedo Nulli, at all. We are still forging ahead, stronger than ever. It is worth noting that we are still recruiting – please check out our website Concedo-Nulli.com for information on how you can join our winning team.

In the mean time, you can always check out my twitter updates here.

Thanks for all your love and support, and I hope to have new content for you all soon!

New Cat Forms

July 2, 2009

Due to the insanity that is my life right now, I have yet to delve completely into devouring the Patch 3.2 Notes. Needless to say, the thing I am most looking forward are the newly redesigned Feral Druid forms for both Night Elves and Tauren, and for both our bear-y best friends and we felines.

My first reaction to the new Night Elven kitty cat forms was: “YES! I can be a PINK cat!”! I have, quiet honestly, always wanted to be a pink cat. But after some thought, I was truly on the fence whether I really liked these new forms or not. I don’t know why I need to wear little bracers or why I have bells around my neck, and I was unsure if I liked all the color combinations. I was starting to feel like the Tauren got the better end of the staff on this one.

But as soon as I got onto the Public Test Realms I finally got to sink my claws into the new forms, first hand. After spending several hours with my future self, I am decidedly very happy about the changes. I have really only played around with the pink coloration. I had planned on playing with the other colors a bit, but I am so loving the pink kitty and have been traveling the world with her to see how different scenery and lighting affects how pink she really looks. I, of course, took many screenshots along the way, and will share them with you here.

If you are also PTR-ing it up, you can find me on Broxigar, both as “Kathoid” and as “Druidkitty”.

So as you can hopefully see, the lighting really affects the coloring of this new pink Kitty option. I will definetly be sticking with the pink once Patch 3.2 goes live!

If you would like me to check out a different color for you, or would like to see the Pink Kitty travel to your favorite destination in Azeroth, send me an email at DruidKitty AT gmail DOT com!
