				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been playing <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com" target="_blank">World of Warcraft</a> now since about Christmas, after someone I know gave me a 3 month game card as a gift.  A lot of things have changed with the new <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_of_Warcraft:_Cataclysm" target="_blank">Cataclysm</a> update&#8230; I mean, a <em><strong>lot</strong></em>&#8230; and in some ways it&#8217;s made it even more fun than it was before.  I do have to admit there are some things I wish hadn&#8217;t changed, but then that&#8217;s the nature of MMO games unfortunately sometimes.</p>
<p>One of the new things that I found really cool was the new secondary skill that&#8217;s available at level 20, <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Archeology" target="_blank">Archeology</a>.  I have been messing around with that, and it&#8217;s really quite fun.  Of course, the ability to actually fly on <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Azeroth" target="_blank">Azeroth</a> now makes it that way &#8211; if one had to simply use mounts or travel overland to each site it would be extremely time consuming.</p>
<p>At any rate, as those who play WoW know, there are many <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Event" target="_blank">World Events</a> in the game&#8230; and the one that began yesterday was the <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Lunar_Festival" target="_blank">Lunar Festival</a>.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve participated in many of these over the years, but since the <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Achievements" target="_blank">Achievements</a> were added to the game, I haven&#8217;t really done much with them.  Each festival now has a bunch of achievements you can earn to get a full blown achievement for the festival itself.  So, when I saw that yesterday, I just got the bug to actually finish all the achievements for the Lunar Festival for once.</p>
<p>To that end, I spent several hours in game with friends of mine running around the world and hunting down all the <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Lunar_Festival_Elders" target="_blank">Elders</a> I need to talk to.  I completed every one of the achievements with the sole exception of the <a href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Lunar_Festival_Elders#Dungeons" target="_blank">Dungeon Elders</a>, and plan on doing that over the next couple of days &#8211; I just hope I&#8217;m high enough level to get into some of the higher level dungeons to be able to complete the achievement.  If not, well&#8230; I&#8217;ll just have to grind as much as I can for the next few days.</p>
