Also, I do historically vary between long posts and little short ones, because some things strike me as more suiting for a quick note than a long essay. <BR/><BR/>But to be realistic, I still have a lot of Warcraft in me. There's a whole new game addition I haven't played yet! <BR/><BR/>I will look into the Auctioneer add-on. Thanks for the tip, Pallas!<BR/><BR/>And welcome, Okie reader! I'll try to stay relatively mentally healthy.

He will try to borrow money he says for gas to go to work which he should have if he didn't pay for it every month. He plays his every waking hour. Sleeps.Eats.Bathroom.Plays...Work..the cycle continues....I am really worried about him. It's creepy as it reminds me of the old Dungeons and Dragon days.

I joined a clan for player-killing. <BR/><BR/>And then, massive drama ripped the guild apart. And I basically stopped playing the game...<BR/><BR/>The game bored me far more than the participants, actually.Troublehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553273498093394669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-30713027473597044592008-03-27T13:30:00.000-07:002008-03-27T13:30:00.000-07:00... in WoW, of course.You can't get a restraining ...... in WoW, of course.<BR/><BR/>You can't get a restraining order in Lordaeron, can you?

Back in the day I used to be all over the WeLL, an early online community (this was before there was a World Wide Web, back in the days of dial-up and BBSes). I ended my account when I was studying for the bar exam. I knew I couldn't pass the bar with the constant distractions of the WeLL.<BR/><BR/>'Piph, thanks for calling the other day! I'm so sorry once again I had to get off the phone; I had to get to the pound on time. I don't actually know people in IRL who play WoW. I mostly hang with other parents who don't cop to a gaming habit. I do know a parent who owns a videogame company, but he has never tried Warcraft because he's all about the gaming platform games (he develops for a gaming platform we don't own). <BR/><BR/>To start a guild, you have to put in more time & energy than I want to. You've got to get 10 characters to all go down to a particular bank in a particular capital city and sign the charter. <BR/>These characters all have to be on the same server. <BR/><BR/>WoW is so big, that it has many, many, many servers. Ask your friend which server she's on. If we aren't on the same server, it's not possible for us to hook up, alas. I'm on Drenden but plan to make the move soon.the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-12902089717753622562008-03-26T08:24:00.000-07:002008-03-26T08:24:00.000-07:00Me and mine just quit WoW this week (right when 2....Me and mine just quit WoW this week (right when 2.4 dropped! >.<) to focus on school and my mental health issues.

Or people you know IRL?<BR/><BR/>Don't look at me - I have enough to do in my life without getting sucked in to this. But my friend K., for instance, a gardening, pagan, 50-something gal, says WoW is one of the best things that's ever happened to her. If you like, I can put the two of you in touch? Maybe she has a good guild (made up mainly of amazon women, no doubt!)Epiphanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411334175194085503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-47664767599167192562008-03-25T18:42:00.000-07:002008-03-25T18:42:00.000-07:00oh jeez. hunky warlock = too much work. i want to ...oh jeez. hunky warlock = too much work. i want to be what lola is and just pick flowers.hughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995638646423120399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-21676042076886675192008-03-25T17:41:00.000-07:002008-03-25T17:41:00.000-07:00Jeffrey, I got the cash for my epic mount by herbi...Jeffrey, I got the cash for my epic mount by herbing, also.

(I have a druid with an epic gryph, and even the epic druid flight form, but I no longer play) Really, relying on a guild for such support is a lame way to run a guild to begin with.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I have bad luck with guilds myself. I always join nice ones a little bit before they go downhill. or I join too small ones, since I like friendly mature banter, and end up doing instances with other guilds. Or I join a powerful one just before politics ruins it and a new crop of people join that ruin it.<BR/><BR/>Right now me and a few friends are looking for another online home, having burned out on WoW, and previously having been in AO and EQ. Each time I have grand hopes for finding a guild of size and maturity and activity.. but never fulfill those hopes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589330888978276020noreply@blogger.com
