    So, last night I tried a few more add ons.  AutoLootJunkDump, Mostly Harmless Item Linker Item Linker, AutoRollSelectEr, MobHealth, planb, Chat Alert!, and Orcanizer.

    I've got to say that PlanB is by far the most useful one for a Black Orc.   Being able to set up my abilities on sets 1, 2, and 3 saved me so much realestate.   I think it probably increased my dps too.  So, big kudos for that mod.   The rest worked as reported, except the AutoRollSelectEr which was causing me many lock up issues, but I could see how valuable a mod it's going to be, so I can't wait till those bugs are worked out.

    Orcanizer was something I thought was a good idea, you know, to make you speak like an orc, but you didn't have to actually type like an orc.  Only problem was that when it did work, I felt like I was doing l33t sp34k or something, and it didn't do enough.   It needs to be really immersive so people know what you are doing.. not that you just changed the s's to a z.  Also, there needs to be a quick switch to turn it on and off.. which there might be, but I didn't know it. 

    Autoloot - awesome!   Saves me so much time and clicking.  Junkdump could be nice, but there's so much crap out there that is green or white that I want to sell that I usually spend time clicking on a bunch of stuff to sell anyways.   I'm sure that in time, more controls are coming, and of course, me learning any that are already there.

    Ok, so I got the mods out of the way.   I finally got to 20 and got my boar.  50% speed increase is awesome.  So much faster to get to places of course!   I'll have to get the auto dismount mod now, because that was the only issue I was having, attack and getting flags while mounted!

    So I spent the night in the 2nd Tier Dark Elf zone.  Ellyrion or something like that.  It's a very bright zone with sparse trees and rolling plains of grass as far as the eye can see, with a few mountains/hills mixed up in between.   There are High Elf camps everywhere, and some dark alliance forming between some of those and some dark elves... hmmm...   Don't forget that all elves are the same, just the name is changed!

    I also spent a great deal of time in the the scenario for this level.   Phoenix Gate I think it's called.   You capture the other team's flag and kill them to get points.  First to 500 or 15mins later and the game is up.   Having a mount at this level is a bit unfair, but hey, you use what you have.

    At the beginning of the night I was just pugging these scenarios and it was painful to not be healed much.   Very painful.   So  later in the evening when I hooked up with some other "Misfits of the Warp" guildmates, I was gettng healed a great deal and staying alive much longer.  Ahhh.. that was really nice!

    Anyways, I still had Heroes to watch, so I called it a night pretty early, but all in all, it was another fun night of Warhammer!
