GAMEPLAY
I have played 8 more levels and have fallen even more in love with this Blood Elf version of the pally. I have traveled to a new area that is much darker than the area I had been fighting and questing in earlier. I have also ventured into the main Blood Elf City. It is very expansive and I learned my professions there. I am excited and hope to enjoy it even more later on.
In the new area called the Ghostlands I have been faced with new quests and new monsters. Monsters of elite standing meaning they do extra damage and/or have extra life but yield more experience for killing them. The quest rewards are also getting better and I am looking forward to a blue (Rare) item that will give you an even greater magic bonus than green (Uncommon) items.
This new area also seems much more expansive and I am playing as part of a group were we can work together to deal damage, add buffs, or heal. It was great fun.
GAME DESIGN
One thing that I love about this game is the aspect of the professions. My main professions are enchanting and mining. Enchanting so that I can give magical bonus' to my items, and mining so I can make some money. You can only have two main professions at a time. Yet you can have as many secondary professions as you would like, but there are only 3. It is a great aspect and adds a lot to the game.
Another aspect that I was curious about was how they were going to solve the pally dilemma of using only maces. The pallies of the Blood Elves call themselves Blood Knights which not only sounds really great but also gives a bit of reason behind why they use swords, which can be inferred from quest dialog.
One of the main aspects of this game that I love though is how it never ends. It is always being added onto by Blizzard programmers and I am excited to see the new content in play from the new patch, Wrath of the Linch King. This has been one of the best started characters I have made thus far in the game and I hope that it will continue being fun until level 70 or 80. Depending on when the new patch is released for this ever expanding game.

SUMMARY
One of the worlds most expansive MMORPGs. Played online you are either an Alliance or a Horde member, battle monsters and complete quests.
GAMEPLAY
This log will be about starting out as a Blood Elf Paladin. I started a Blood Elf Paladin, pally, I was a bit skeptical going in because I have had bad experience starting pallies before. But to my surprise I ended up having a lot of fun leveling. In my first session of play I got to about level 10. It was a lot of fun getting used to the new controls, as I am used to a Shaman's talents, and it didn't take too long to get a hang of it, especially at a low level.
The story for Blood Elves is a great one and starting any Blood Elf you get a brief synopses of why they are part of the Horde and what made them the way they are. It is an exciting story and I was surprised to see that the pally start weapon was a sword instead of a mace. It is classic knowledge that Paladins gave up the sword so I was a bit taken aback. I am curious to find out why they have swords.
The beginning quests for Blood Elves are quite unlike much of the rest of the Horde's. Their quests are have a bit more violent connotations and involve the use of an ability that steels mana from other creatures. It is an exciting new experience and I hope I will enjoy in in the later levels.
