View on the Spiral so far

Merle Ambrose found me in the Spiral in January of 2008. There were no houses, no crafting, no gardening, no pet talents, no mounts, no Grizzleheim, no Celestia, no Wintertusk, no Witsteria, or Zafaria. Noone even had a voice! So much has changed since I started studying ice here. And all this change has been crazy awesome.
When I was a mere level 17, I bought my first castle (right after housing came out). I bought myself a lovely wooded cottage. It was small, yet it was my home. I took so much time decorating it and making it the best it could be. Then when I was deep into Dragonspyre, I finally had enough to buy my ice house, which is where I have resided ever since. I love my Ice House, and I don't have the time or money to buy and decorate more than that. Why would I? My ice house is a prized possession of mine.

Now onto worlds:
Wizard City:
I have had mixed feelings on WC. I loved it when I was there, but I also didn't know there were multiple worlds in the spiral that you get to go to. Going back when I was levels 30-40 I couldn't stand it. It was such a childish world. Everything was really just... annoying. Now when I go to WC, I thoroughly appreciate the creativity that it has to offer. Plus you can't hate a place where you sometimes live when you have classes to take.
Krokotopia:
My least favorite place in the spiral. Yes its cool but I got soooo tired of being inside a tomb pretty much the entire time. The smell kind of got to me a couple times. The mummies really have a scent of death, and it is not appetizing.
Marleybone:
Opposing many oppinions of this place, I actually really really liked it. I love London back on Earth and it just embodies that. Since the world is based on Sherlock Homes, it just has such a good vibe to it. It is really cool to see a early 1900s based world. I love it, even if you do get pulled into random duels because of the lack of sidewalks.
Mooshu:
Such a world full of life and so beautiful and bright! It is a great world to go to after the darkness of Krok and Marleybone. It is so pretty! plus you get to duel against NINJA PIGS! :) Woo! Jade Oni too! We get closer and closer to finding Malistaire.
Dragonspyre:
We get to go to a world with Cyrus Drake! The myth professor... YAY! He is so kind and is my favorite companion in the spiral!... not. But hey, I got over it. We will like to see and defeat many draconians and ghosts. We get to see dragonspyre when it was pretty and ride a drake up to defeat Malistaire. Its a world full of lava, not too favored for the one who likes the cold. Although defeating fire people is so good for me :)
Celestia:
Celestia oh Celestia. This world was so difficult and challanging that you can't help but adore it. It took so much stratagy and thought, you really learned to be a better wizard just through experience. It was a great world to have to work through.
Zafaria:
Although I have not completed the main story line of this world, I would say that it is a break from the monster of Celestia. Maybe because Celestia was so hard, that we know the right strategies that makes Zafaria so much easier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We'll save the side worlds for another time... I'm lazy
See you in Zafaria!

UPDATE

Hey guys. Long time no see. Well it just so happens that it has been a really long time since we last talked on Halloween. There has been so much that has happened.
  1. Celestia. Done! well main story line at least. This makes me incredibly happy. I will have to go back and do side quests but hey. At least im on my way.
  2. Level 58 Spell: Got it. Took like seven tries to defeat that boss for the Ice diamond. He's pretty tough. YEAH SNOW ANGEL!
  3. Zafaria. Working on it. Currently main questing it, but to record progress I would say that I am currently in Stone Village. or Stone Town. Whatever it is.
  4. Level 68 Spell: GOT IT! WOO! I've got the Wooly Mammoth and every Ice Spell out there as of right now. So excited! This guy was not nearly as hard to defeat as the guy I had to for my level 58 spell
  5. Master Artisan? ....no not yet. It took me so long to get the ore to transmute the diamonds when they weren't harvested. But I have finished the rings and have 1 of the 2 cloaks that i need to make. All I need is 9 frost flowers and 4 black pearls and I'm SET!
I have been working really really hard here lately since I broke my foot and have had to ride my faithful dragoness everywhere. Awful for physical activity yet awesome for my questing. I can't go for early morning jogs around the Iceburg or around Ravenwood when I have a class. It's so disappointing. But my dragoness is faithful and does so much for me. I really am grateful. She does everything from making sure there's a fire lit in my room in the morning so when I get up I don't freeze in my Ice mansion, to getting the mail, taking care of my plants, and even cooking for me. The best caretaker out there. For real. I don't know what I'd do with out her.

Until Next Time
