Twas a cold night, the Horde advance force had finally made it's way towards the outskirts of Goldshire. After a what had seemed like an aeon, the heavily set Orc raised his battered and notched sword towards the small village. Around him, his elite band followed the point of his mighty weapon as he motioned for them to spread out. In front of them was a scene like that out of any fairy tale book, villagers going about their everyday business without a care in the world, children chasing one another around the local inn and forge and an army of bunnies hopping, jumping, sprinting around corners and doing things that bunnies do best...

Okay, perhaps I should brush up on my writing skills before attempting some creative work like that*. It does sketch a brief picture of what it was like around Goldshire last night, especially when that Horde party decided it would be fun to make an appearance. Something tells me that they didn't read the invites properly - I mean come on, it wasn't a masked ball after all!

Needless to say, Perri jumped into the festivities like only a Gnome could. Firstly, stuffing his face with chocolate then running around as a rabbit to find more. Got to say, even if it is just to myself, he does look dashing in his Tux two piece. Well, after the rest of the guild played turns each chasing one another around that inn, Perri's thoughts where on one thing only... yep, more chocolate.

Really, what is it about Gnomes and food? If I wasn't over six foot tall in real life, and a strict veggie... err, I have no idea where this comment is going so perhaps it is for the best that I end it here.

It was also fun watching all those different levels, from 1 to 80 (and at one time nearly every other level between except for 31 for some reason), turning into rabbits and running about like... well rabbits. Bunny ears here, cotton tails there, and lots of mini egg leftovers. Now I wouldn't want to be the one clearing all that up considering the amount of chocolate consumed!

Although Perri is now gearing up close to the mid levels, there is still much to be done before he can wear the tag - "Done that, got the soul shard". This Noblegarden event reminded me that the game isn't always about slaying monster x for loot y only to hand it over for reward z and XP. This is also the reason that I am still mid levels, Perri is going through the game slowly but enjoying every bit of the journey. So chocolate eggs (half eaten because I was taking too long to type this according to Perri) in the air, and lets all do the bunny hop...**


*It should be noted that there is a book (or series of books) being written. Of course it is only available some time in the future or through your local Temporal Bookstore...
** It should also be noted that normal service will be restored tomorrow, and that this blip is only due to too much chocolate...
