Back

I'm back playing WoW, I still have mixed feelings about the Cata changes, but I actually having fun. I really hope they find a new place for some of the whelps to drop since my farming in the last week has failed and I really want an azure whelpling .

I'm back on the US servers since the EU shop won't sell me time ( I will draw character portraits for EU game time or US even, just contact me if you're interested. samples of my art http://doombunni.deviantart.com/). I went back to Moon Guard, like always, I guess it was the first place I ever played just for myself and how I wanted, so it's still my favourite place to go, I need more character slots though or to delete a few characters... maybe there will be queues and free transfers off with the expansion *shrug * I can hope.

I can't wait to try a gnome priest , or troll druid though, but I may just race change my NE druid to a troll, because I have two druids on the server already and both have pets and neat items from the past.

just a minute

My son: I died.

Me: I can rez you in two levels if you want to wait.

One level later an orc warlock level 80 falls from the cliff where you do part of the shaman quest. We stand looking down at his dead body.

My daughter: My mum can rez you in one level after she trains.

other nonsense

It seems odd the zepplins run by goblins are free , but you pay for a wyvern ride.

tanks and lava again

Ok so, what is it about the lava in ragefire chasm? three tanks fell in , one jumped in a second time on purpose.

The one that jumped in said he was a bad tank and leave him dead, he was and I did, but all in all it was a strange day.

if you don't let me drink I'll ground you!

My son started a leveling a tank a dwarf warrior, and I started a gnome mage to level with him , but by 20 I hated being a mage ( I find it fun to solo as frost but not fun in groups) and switched to a pally healer so I'm his pocket healer. He's surprisingly good, rarely loses aggro makes good pulls and never lets me get my face smashed up by a lot of mobs. We've pugged to about 50 now ... the only issue he had was forgetting my mana ( no, I won't really ground him) and when there was some confusion about real life water and in game water ( it's hot and well I was thirsty, but I meant I needed to drink in game). we've survived a couple of crazy pulls like when that rogue dug up seven graves in ZF while I was drinking ( I let the rogue die) the rest of us all lived and it was fun.

One particular benefit is we are in the same room, so we have fairy clear voice communication, the tank healer trust level is pretty high so at points where I've seen other tanks freeze up we just keep going and pull through ( see this on my main healer a pull goes bad, and the tank just says we're all gonna die, and just stands there. I never understood this , why stop trying how else will you have those great tales to tell if you don't try<3 Lorsty for all the crazy amazing storys we have).

The groups were all surprisingly civil, I remember discussing with him at level 15 how people are mean to tanks and try not to be too distressed if they act like asses, then we hit the random LFG and were off only one super obnoxious hunter who someone else started the vote kick on before I could. It's been a lot of fun and when his papa (80 warlock) and sister (62 boomkin/kitty) join us someday as DPS, or rather we join them as we catch up we will have family fun.

He's planning a healer next and I'll give tanking a go, it should be interesting.

I cancelled

I know to Blizzard I'm pretty irrelevant, may family's accounts don't mean much,but they are all canceled. I still have time paid til October, I have been playing five years so buying time in big chunks seemed like a good idea, except I no longer can find any interest in playing the game anymore. I logged in on Crystia and Taisie today to pick up their gold from auctions,at least everything sold, looked at Koralie on the character select page thought about dailys and a random or two, but no, all that is in the back of my mind is Real ID and where they plan to go from here, maybe if they change their minds about the forums and real names I'll keep playing. It's hard to know. The funny thing is this last weekend I moved my last character off the server where I was harassed( after not playing the character for six months) , the guy still plays there so yeah privacy and real names *sigh* wish I'd known about real ID future plans a few days earlier. I do really enjoy the game it's the place I hang out when I can't do anything else. I love flying around on my blue drake, fishing for that elusive turtle on Koralie(I have four of them on alts and EU Koralie has hers) and just looking at the scenery and daydreaming,I certainly don't hate the game and I will miss it I already do. I just don't like the unknown the feeling that eventually we won't be able to be just our characters in game. I really don't play a roleplaying game to be myself , not that I don't like being me , but a break now and then is rather pleasant and gives interesting perspectives. Of course right now I really don't have any friends in game, most had already quit or were on extended breaks so no one will miss me.

So for now I'll go be an elven rune keeper when gaming online, and a pokemon trainer offline I have a nifty flying pikachu and my houndoom to keep me company, and other places to daydream about.

annoyed

the Real ID forum thing makes me angry, and I have nothing to clear to say, except , I'm glad I have other games to play, LOTR online is fun and at least Lorsty plays it too.
