World of Runescape, er... Runecraft? Warscape!

[Chris Chandler]

Okay, LG, LB and I were discussing how we would like to have a place where we could discuss our favorite MMORPG, and we know that the rest of you really enjoy World of Warcraft, and really enjoy discussing it. I'm putting this thread here so that we can do just that. Feel free to make plans, tell anecdotes, leave messages, etc.

[Chris Chandler]

For a first post for Runescape, I just gotta say that I'm really excited about the prospect of a blood rune altar. I think that will just kill. I am, despite my efforts with slayer, really becoming more mage than anything, and the runescaping just solidifies that. I mean, my first "combat" skill that will reach 80 is going to be magic (without even trying), not ranging.

That sort of shifts my image of what I intended Ralig to be. Lady is the Adventurer, Crazy is the Slayer, and Ralig is the yeoman. Now he's turning out to be Oz. Ah well, Oz the yeoman. It could happen. I suppose, though, that I ought to learn ancient and lunar magic, too.

[LightBringer]

Ralig the yoddling, yeoman of Oz, lumberjack. LOL

Seriously dude, with an 80 mage you reallllllly need ancient magic. You could be doing some massive damage.

Even though I'd rather have an 80 Slayer, my first 80 was Attack. Although my second was cooking. :fun:

[LadyGlutter]

Oz, I can so see that. How close are you to making Death Runes, anyway?

And you know you'd use the magic for the Lunar quests, too. I mean, how great would it be to yell, "Ph34r my Lunar MagiX111!!!" as you baked a pie or filled your vials or made your planks that way? Hmmmm?

[Chris Chandler]

I would so stay with lunar magic all the freaking time if I could access high alching easier. Lunar magic rawks!

I'm almost to 63 (like, I'll get it today). Death runes are 65. So...

I need to do the Waterfall Quest so I can do Desert Treausure
I need to do Lunar Diplomacy, then work on 85 combat to be able to do Dream Mentor

That's some big quests... I'd better prepare.

I am so all over saying that with the Lunar magic.

[Vash The Stampide]

So I had one of those 'You know when' moments Tuesday. I was thinking to my self i needed to 'equip' my binoculars. I knew after that I have been playing to much WoW

[Outlawjc]

I did that this morning when I grabed my naked(tm) fruit juice from the fridge I thought time to drink and I sat down to boot >.<

[LadyGlutter]

Mmmmm yummy naked juice. Outlaw does drink healthy stuffs! What flavor?! I like the antioxidant berry one.

[Outlawjc]

I drink them all lol they are soooooo goooooood

[LadyGlutter]

Even though I'd rather have an 80 Slayer, my first 80 was Attack. Although my second was cooking. :fun:

How'd this slip past me? When'd you get 80 cooking!?

[Outlawjc]

Oh I hit 490 defense rating last night! I am now Uncritable!!!!! woooooot!!!!!

[LightBringer]

Nice!

That was an oops moment. I actually stopped short. I'm waiting on some chef delight from someone. :worry: I had it in my mind that I made it though. Now it's a race to see which one hits 80 first, cooking or fletching. ;)

[Chris Chandler]

I have an 81 fletching... It'll jump to 86 after I finish this load of yew and magic logs. I'll be smashing then.

[LightBringer]

Cool! One day I'll be an 86 Slayer. That'll be soooooo cool. :cool:

[Chris Chandler]

86 slayer and you'll be able to make just a bit of profit every once in a while.

[LightBringer]

OOh yeah!! :cool:

[LadyGlutter]

Hey C, I know you have a ton of quests you've got lined up. What order are you planning on doing them? I was thinking whenever you're ready for Dream Mentor, but I'm up for doing it with you. Can't remember, but it seems like that's a lot of prereq's away for you though, so it should give you plenty of fair warning. ;)

[Chris Chandler]

The only prereqs that I don't have for Dream Mentor are doing Lunar Diplomacy and having an 85 combat level. Getting 5 more levels of combat may take a while. Personally, I think that I need to improve my defense more than any other melee skill, so I might work on that when I'm not sniping. I'll let you know.

I'd like to do Dream Mentor with you.

I was going to do Lunar Diplomacy, then Waterfall, then Desert Treasure, and then work on the hassle that is Underground Pass->> Mourning's End II. That involves, at the least, getting to 56 agility. That should keep me occupied for months.

[LadyGlutter]

Hahahaha.

Well then, by the time you do all that nonsense, your combat level will already be 85, you won't even have to train! You'll naturally have gained that in Summoning alone. >.<

We trawling today, by the way?

[Chris Chandler]

If the 'net cooperates, I don't see why not. It's a good fun mini-game.

[LightBringer]

WooHoo, I now have 80 cooking. I own the sharks. :cool:

My Defense is up to 78, and my Strength will be 78 after afternoon break. :D

[Chris Chandler]

The Edgeville furnace makes smelting a non-issue, rather than a PITA, in very much the same way as the Wizard's guild teleport to the rune essence mines makes it a non issue. It is amazing what a difference a few yards make!

[LightBringer]

WoooHooo, watch out magic trees I'm on the hunt.

[LightBringer]

And there's the first victim. :cool:

[LadyGlutter]

CONGRATS! That's a big fat hairy deal!

((Lol, and for my part, I am finally online after waking up from my nap with the net out. Yep, at the VERY least 7 hours. Go Charter! I don't even want to scape any runes but feel like I ought to just for the principle of it....))

[Chris Chandler]

Guess who completed Devious Minds.

Yep. I sure did.

[LadyGlutter]

You bitch. When? After I went to bed last night?

I can't believe with your YEAR hiatus, you're the one who finishes that one first. I think that's the one all three of us started accidentally, anyway, first thing on becoming a member.

[LightBringer]

Nice job. I was wondering why you were so quiet last night. ;)

[LadyGlutter]

Yeah yeah, what he said, nice job. I'm totally into being gracious and stuff. :fun:

(ho!)

[Chris Chandler]

Without a mature dwarven stout. I'll hit 68 smithing easy peasey. Mithril Platebodies... yum. Those alc for a bit over 3k

It was super easy (the quest). I think it was one of those, "hey, weirdo who has all three of those skills (runecraft, smithing, fletching) that high, have some bonus xp for 10 minutes of work." Plus, it's a Tiffy Cashen quest, and I'm always ahead of the curve for doing Temple/White knight stuff. I mean, you two Guthix followers work for him because it meets your ends. I do it because it's the right thing to do.:roll:

[LadyGlutter]

Ok, so maybe Ho is the wrong thing to call you, Mr. Moral Standard. But I stand by bitch because you just told me whose you are. LOL!

[LightBringer]

ROFL!!!!!!!!

Those are a strange combo of skills. Honestly, I haven't even looked at that quest in so long I couldn't even tell you what the requirements were. Right now I'm debating finishing Desert Treasures, or starting Shades of Mor'ton. How messed up is that!

[Chris Chandler]

Y... You haven't done shades of Mor'ton? Oh great googly moogly. LG will be helping me with Lunar sometime this week (should the net hold out) and then I'll do waterfall and desert treasure.

LG - if the net holds out, would you like to help me with Lunar tonight?

[LadyGlutter]

Yeah! That's a fun quest.

In fact, all this talking about it has made me start to thinking.... I know my first 99 is going to be HP, unless I alter my playing style unnaturally to let something else be it. And I really don't see any big thing about having a HP cape as your first one, and I really don't want to lay off on doing stuff I find fun to spend beaucoups of gp to make farming my first 99. It'll destroy my love of farming.

So, I'm going to make the quest cape my goal. :) :) :) I know, it's a natural choice, but I often hold off on quests because of you goobs. And I love questing, except when I hate it. Case in point, I'm delaying Mourning's End because I have to mess with those damn sheep again. :tsk:

[Chris Chandler]

The multi-colored sick sheep?

Maybe you get to kill them without herding them.

[LadyGlutter]

No, it's worse than that, but I shan't spoil the secret for you. I'll let you get pissed naturally like I did.

[Chris Chandler]

That is far away all I can see is little tiny pale green, pink, and pale blue dots.

[Chris Chandler]

LG was kind enough to walk me through Lunar Diplomacy. I can now make glass without a furnace and without cooking the seaweed.


FEAR THE LUNAR MAGIC!!!

[LightBringer]

W00000000000000000000000T, Somebody just fletched up a mess of magic short bows!!!!!! :cool:

[Chris Chandler]

I'm so sorry I didn't congrat you! I logged off just as you were leveling.

Sorry!

[LadyGlutter]

Hee hee, that sounds like one of my conversations. Congrats Fletch! All these 80s, I don't know what to think....

Are we thinking we might be able to trawl today, or not?

[LightBringer]

No problem, big guy. I know you were ready to get the hell out of there. :)

I'll be out there. My main focus is back to slayer, but I'm up for trawling. I be sure to carry some tele runes on me.

[Chris Chandler]

I should be there, barring any yanks for my attention.

Oh, I got a clue scroll of a jelly, nearly died (and pissed LG off greatly when I sent a few pot shots toward a revenant vampire), and was rewarded with 80 nats, some purple sweets, a rune full and Zammy Legs! W00t! I owned them for all of five minutes, selling them quickly at mid-price. It was a nice rewarding end for something that, lately, I've been really annoyed at doing. I'm halfway done with the jellies and have netted almost half a mil from them.

[LightBringer]

Sweet!

[LadyGlutter]

Lol, yeah you did piss me off a bit. I'm the resident expert on ways to die! You shouldn't try to steal my thunder by asking my advice and then ignoring it.

"Oh, he's only level 68, I can take him."

With half hit points and two monkfish. Yeah, and I'm the reckless one. >.<

[LightBringer]

Okay, here's the question I asked LG about. What's with the download specs 'update'?

I understand how those things help with games that we buy at the store, but shouldn't they be more concerned about connection speed? I can barely stay connected with dial-up as it is.

Edit: Yeah quit trying to steal LG's corner on character death. LOL

[Chris Chandler]

After my tactical withdrawal, I did say, "You know, I really shouldn't die twice in 24 hours. I don't need to pull a LadyGlutter or anything."

[Chris Chandler]

Okay, here's the question I asked LG about. What's with the download specs 'update'?

I understand how those things help with games that we buy at the store, but shouldn't they be more concerned about connection speed? I can barely stay connected with dial-up as it is.

Edit: Yeah quit trying to steal LG's corner on character death. LOL

I missed this question.

I can understand that, but I'm not really sure just how much Jagex can control how fast we get the bytes. Now, they can refine the game so that it is easier to parse. I'd address that first and foremost. It is a resource hog, even when I play during lunchtime.

[LadyGlutter]

Hey, so I started thinking just now about the fact that Crazy doesn't know the name of W 64 Chat. (That's it, btw.) That's the big chat I discovered about a month or two ago that I go on when I want company and don't have you two to amuse me. You might not be interested, but then again, you might enjoy it on occasion for something different, Crazy. Ralig and I have both had fun with those goobs. :)

[LightBringer]

I may get around to checking it out. I usually have someone to chat with though. :)

[Outlawjc]

only 4 months til warhammer online ahhhhhh I want it now!!!

[LightBringer]

Mmmmm, now that could be interesting.

[LadyGlutter]

Outlaw -- this is related I swear.

That computer you've discussed selling us and then tried to sell the dude and had the drama with? C says you have it again. Are you still looking to unload it? Can you tell me some of the details? We're talking about setting me up a work station of my own in the bedroom, and it might end up being MY computer, so, I'm curious.

[LadyGlutter]

Nevermind, the phone works wonders. :P

[Outlawjc]

So I got to be in the beta for Age of Conan its pretty cool definitely an adult game unless you want your kids to get to decapitate there foes for the finishing blow. But for the mechanics of the game I like the combat system its nice you have be active about how you swing but I don't like the skill system its a little weird

[LightBringer]

Sounds cool. When do they expect a release date?

[Chris Chandler]

I have been jonesing for AoC for a while now. Me loves some Cimmerian smashy.

[LadyGlutter]

Here's what happens when you have people over. They wreck your house and take your chairs all over the place. :O
http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk309/Alwaysanoob5/Chairwars.jpg

http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk309/Alwaysanoob5/W64chatftw.jpg

[Chris Chandler]

Hey! Put those chairs back!

[LadyGlutter]

I'm super low on runes. That Recipe ending finished off my already depleted stocks from way back when I spent that lunch in the mage training place.

*checking bank*

Chris, if you would be so kind, what I need to have my minimums of each is:


200 law runes
500 airs
1000 earth
900 water


I also could use some sharks, but I don't know how stocked up you are, right now, Crazy. I've got plenty of midlevel food, so I'd only really want like 100 or so. On this one, I'm not planning on fighting anything major anytime soon.

There's really no rush, whenever either of you have them. I'm kind of hesitant to post this, because we've all been preoccupied with Epic and haven't spent as much time as usual so I don't know what your reserves are at. But, it is part of why we set up the thread.

If you want me to stock up on ranarrs, potions, battlestaves, or other goods and services I can provide, let me know and I'll get on that myself. ;)

[Chris Chandler]

I'll be able to knock those out for you. I'll take a break this afternoon, get your runes, then we can make a trade before I come home. It won't take me long to craft them.

[LadyGlutter]

What do you want for them? Just shiny gold circles?

[Chris Chandler]

Sure, that's fine.

[LightBringer]

I'm good on sharks, so I can provide those if you still need.

I prefer green and leafy, as to round and shiny. :cool:

[LadyGlutter]

So I was planting my crops just now, and the friends list went out.... then the GE went out... and now all of RS is out. Interesting how it went in little chunks like that.

[LightBringer]

Hmm, maybe they started an update and forgot to tell anyone,........then again it is Friday the 13th!!

[Chris Chandler]

That figures. The day I'd have a lunch to myself, and it's down.

[LadyGlutter]

Ok, the computer is now downloading the low detail version of the new RS. I'm nervous. :P

[LightBringer]

Just for the record, I think it sucks.

[LadyGlutter]

Well, after a day of significant playing around with things, I have mixed feelings on it. I may as well write it out.

LD is freaking odd looking now. I feel like if I end up staying in LD, that I'll get used to it eventually, just like when they changed the control panel and whatnot and I kept clicking on the wrong button to run. But, I don't like, mostly, the way the bodies of our characters are defined and the animation for walking/running and the faces is a bit creepy. Still, I used to be creeped out by certain games that now look normal to me. It's a style choice, and I can handle if things like that change, as long as they don't essentially change the game. The turoth's plunge of death is stupid looking, but if they chose to die that way it's not going to really affect my enjoyment of the game.

Those things that are, are what concerns me here more than anything.

It was crashing my compy bigtime at first, in LD or HD. Well, No Big, right, when they released Summoning even though I was playing Xaos I kept crashing, just because it was a new update and everyone was downloading it. But I still figured I could tweak it. I took all the textures and set them to low. I even played in safe mode and kept crashing.

So, I went and read the articles, and upgraded my version to Java 1.6. That helped tremendously in both modes. I found that after that, HD actually ran a good bit less clunky than LD unless I ran LD with all the textures and extras removed. That makes sense to me with my limited knowledge of how things work. Since they are using my computer to stream stuff automatically instead of feeding it through my connection, it's better. Teleporting to new areas didn't have that lag because it was reading a new area in HD. But, on the front end, it's a pain to get here onto the computer, and if your computer doesn't meet the minimums, then it's no good at all. You're stuck with an uglier version of the game (again, not a hugely big deal, I can live with having a thicker waist and spaghetti arms on my character, :P) but for with more lag, I'm not happy.

So, let's talk HD. HD is absolutely beautiful in certain landscapes. The desert and the water running up beside it is really nice looking, if you can ignore the freaky way your character moves. Oh, and your character looks much better in HD too. Those clothes (the blue with the bodice) that I had to strip off in LD, looked very very nice (I went back and checked) in HD. Putting it into full screen on HD was even better, though I have to get used to where the tools are and where to click for each screen. I'll get used to that too.

Playing without the anti-aliasing was the other big help with lag, by the way. That's in HD only.

So, here's my hope, though it may be overly optimistic: in the long run, after people have switched over to HD, that will take a lot of burden off of LD players because at least half (probably more) have put the majority of the graphic burden onto their computers, and so it will actually be easier to play in BOTH modes.

But yeah, it's gonna be a bitch to get on your compy, Crazy. I don't know what the specs are for your compy, but it might be that you would do better in HD. I kinda doubt it though. You'll have to read the articles and figure that out. Hopefully after getting over the hump of getting it actually onto the computer, it'll work better in whichever mode is appropriate, because thousands of people won't be downloading it at once. If all else fails, updating Java (which might or might not take a while) could do the trick.

[LightBringer]

Sounds good. Like I said, I'll start trying to download it tonight. I may do the Java update first, since that won't really effect anything else on my computer to much.

[LadyGlutter]

Okay, I'm about to fuss a teensy bit.

I am doing this quest, right? And there's this suppppper easy puzzle in it, where you just put together the pieces of a hand Should be the easy part of the quest. And I have to switch graphic modes TWICE to make it work, not because i can't work the puzzle, but because it's glitched. Yeah, I finally resorted to doing a websearch on the flippin thing because I know what a freaking hand looks like!

What really gets me about it, is it's the newest quest! Surely you'd think they'd, I don't know, CHECK IT OUT seeing as how it was released like the same month as HD.

Ok, better now. Back to the trenches. :)

[LightBringer]

Here's a question for you, since HD is glitched the hell up, why wouldn't the quest they released be glitched up as well?

I mean, come on, you do remember the armor glitch right? And that's just one example.

[LadyGlutter]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b49/LadyGlutter/lastone.jpg

How pretty is THAT?

[LightBringer]

Pretty damn pretty.

Congrats again, a most superior job well done. :cool:

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF THE QUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[LadyGlutter]

Two weeks later, and I'm already two quests down! :) That makes me happy. So any time anyone wants to do new quests, I'm available. Interestingly, I actually can't hang my cape on my cape rack if I'm not done with the quests.

Oh, and today they changed HD to have a resizeable screen. I still am playing around with it, but so far, it makes working the controls so clunky (in weird places on the screen) that I'm probably going to either be in fully in fullscreen mode or low detail at all times now.

Oh yay, I can turn it off:

This feature is completely optional. You may activate or deactivate it via the Graphics Options, either on the login screen or in-game (accessed via the spanner icon).

[LightBringer]

I only tried out the HD for one lunch break. I always just play in LD. HD was nice, and some of the details were pretty cool, but I can live without them. :fun:

[Outlawjc]

Well WoTLK comes out in a month or so woot new stuff to do!!!!!!!!!!!

and I want to dual-weild two-handers so bad!!

[LadyGlutter]

So what do you guys think about THIS?

http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/new-game-enemy-takes-a-solid-day-to-defeat/1238418

[Chris Chandler]

Eh, no different than you, LG, pulling a 16 on the original Warcraft. I imagine that if we had WoWcrack, you'd have 3 70s, just like the boys.

[LadyGlutter]

Hmmmmmmm, I think it's quite different.

If after 18 hours I hadn't managed to get a good hit on with my entire team... hell, if after 30 minutes, it kept regenerating any hit we got on with our best gear, then I'd know that it was going to be too much with my current situation I think, or that I was doing something wrong. I'm amazed at the stubbornness of a group of people going at it for 18 freaking hours. When I was on the original Warcraft, I actually was succeeding in those 16 hour stints. Just like your example of the boys on WoWCrack. Those hours gave them 3 70s, not a big fat nothing.

That's what surprises me, everyone getting upset at the game makers, and not even mentioning how those kids were unnecessarily stubborn.

[LadyGlutter]

In the last two weeks, the RS economy has gone really wonky.

Flax has dropped to the low 70s. I'm thinking that kids are back in school, so all the summer projects of 99 fletching or firemaking or cooking were put on hold, and people dumped all their raw materials back in the GE. On the other hand... everyone on the street keeps asking me "when is PK coming back?" So even if they aren't gearing up for the new PK worlds, when it comes out I bet there's going to be a whole new market out there again for things like potions, good food, knives, etc.


Also, from today's news:
Two worlds (60 and 61) have been designated as suggested 'Great Orb Project' worlds (http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?guid=themed_worlds). While we've noticed a fair amount of activity on worlds such as 1, 2, 6 and 9, these are the main trading worlds and are often near capacity or full. Therefore, we have selected 60 and 61 so that you'll be able to log in straight away and join others who're playing this minigame (http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?guid=the_great_orb_project).

With this in mind do we want to keep to world 60? C has been having lag difficulties there, and today was a test day to see how it went. He says on 64 he didn't lag out once. So maybe the server issue is gone with world 64, or do we want to try and stick it out on 60? School being in probably has an effect as well there.

[LightBringer]

We can return to 64. If we are having less issues there, then there we should go.

[Outlawjc]

so yea C&T and everyone else all i have to say is free WoW yea private servers hehe

[LadyGlutter]

What?!

[Chris Chandler]

It's Outlaw - he's illiterate.

[LadyGlutter]

No, I'm used to that.

I just want him to explain more before I jump to conclusions. Since I haven't gotten the wheels for my soapbox just yet, I figured I'd wait to pull it out. ;)

[Outlawjc]

private wow servers = free wow

[LadyGlutter]

Okay, lol, that was actually the exact same amount of information as the first one. Let me ask it this way:

free wow = pirated wow ?

[Outlawjc]

no people create a server and as long as they keep their own server running its g2g. there are hundreds of free servers some are silly and others are just like the game. its pretty cool.

[Outlawjc]

unless you count that as pirated, its not on the main wow servers people created then using a program that wow put out there.

[LadyGlutter]

Well, I meant to talk to you about this in person on Friday, but forgot.

The reason I asked is because on Runescape, there are people who have private servers. Jagex at least considers it pirating. If you are caught using one, your character is shut down and the private servers are targeted by Jagex pretty regularly, so even if you aren't caught using one, your server goes down and that's it for your character. If Blizzard is cool with it, that's one thing, but I'm really cautious about what goes on our computer.

Also, didn't Vash say something about playing chess? www.funorb.com (also run by jagex) has an online chess game. If we really want to do that sometimes, we could set up dates to play each other. I've off and on wanted to learn to play chess myself, so it might be fun!

[LadyGlutter]

End Of Summer Sucks.

Freaking board won't let me yell or use all caps.


....hours later

BUT I BEAT IT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I only died... I think 11 times.

[LightBringer]

Nut!!

[Outlawjc]

Wrath of the Lich King in less than a month *drool...

[LadyGlutter]

PvP worlds came out on RuneScape today... hmmmm

[LightBringer]

Hey we should do Law and Xaos PvP! It's alailable on Free worlds.

[LadyGlutter]

Ooooooooh -- I am intrigued. Yes, let's!!

However... Xaos is gonna be squishy! How do mages fare in PvP with no uber spells? Oh well, it'll be kewl! I like it.

[Chris Chandler]

Mages are squishy if they can't keep the tanks off of them. Were I to PvP, I'd go in ranging, but with a complement of entangles and the like. Keep folks from moving, then pound on them. A good mage would do the same, only fighters will get hurt a lot faster against maging than ranging.

[LightBringer]

Of course they didn't have my prescription ready so, that fucked up that, maybe tomorrow or next week.

[LadyGlutter]

We'll get em next time. ;)

Heck, I may just spend some time gathering runes for Xaos in preparation. How weird would that be?

[Outlawjc]

wow WotLK countdown 20 day!

[LadyGlutter]

Listen! C came home last night and saw something I'd toggled on the compy and was all cooled out and I realized not everyone would know it, and it might help you out LB. If you've already discovered it, cool, if not, you'll like.

When you log in, and now you get auto routed to a world, and you go to the world switcher, there's these little hearts on the side, right? You can select up to two. If you do that, on your computer (providing you have cookies enabled) on the login screen you'll have a choice of (in my case) world 60, 64, or auto. I may change that if and when we get into doing Law & Xaos to make the second one a ftp world, but either way, it's helpful! :)

[LightBringer]

I'll take a look at it next Tuesday, lol.

[Outlawjc]

ahhh less then 3 week WotLK

[Outlawjc]

so umm yea ok and...





1 week,3 days,11 hours, 12 minutes and 40 seconds

[LadyGlutter]

Are you sure your time is right? I mean, what if you're off by a few seconds?

[Chris Chandler]

I finished up Dream Mentor last night. You guys psyched me out for serious on this quest. IT WAS CAKE. I went in with a super defense potion, ranging potion and a full inventory of tuna potatoes. I completed the entire battle only using 6 potatoes. I beat the first big guy without even realizing it. I thought I was about 1/3 or midway through (based on how many shots I'd fired - I actually couldn't see damage, but was hitting 25s on the other guys), and I was getting beat up, then he collapses! WTF, mate?!

You bruisers just must be lame. It took me longer to kill the little burrowy-snail thing at the end (not that he ever did a point of damage to me).

I can now tele to Port Khazard! Lunar FTW!!! Next quest, Desert Treasure, and then I will be a spellcasting terror!

[Outlawjc]

so um update:


they moved Lich King back to the 13th but goo news that it went gold so it will be out that day

[LightBringer]

Sweet deal C! You are King of the Range!!

Don't forget your face mask if you start Desert Treasure.

[LadyGlutter]

As you know, I've very happy for you too, but I want it on record I died during DT because of LAG. I don't even want to hear gloating about how that one is cake. ;) It really ought to be with your level of magic, anyhow.

[Chris Chandler]

Yeah, I was looking into what was expected for DT, and it sounds like I'm going to have to learn how to fight with magic. I mean, can you do that? Maybe I can alch the baddies - that should work, right?

I will do my best to not gloat. Of course you know that my best is pretty terrible, when it comes to gloating. :P

[LadyGlutter]

So I don't forget, for easy reference:

w60 penguins
penguins w60
w60 penguies
riods2525

[LadyGlutter]

Okay, I read this week's news just now. There's a huuuuuge quest in the making, and I'm so excited. They call it the "First GrandMaster Quest" -- Doesn't that sound right up my alley?

Also, this is just plain funny:

Finally, after that huge update will come something much, much smaller! For a few days over the last weekend of November, you’ll notice Thanksgiving turkeys wandering around the map, gobbling and generally minding their own business. Hunt them down for some tasty drumsticks or find the turkeys in disguise for a special reward. Look out for more short celebration updates like this in the future.Why are Brits celebrating Thanksgiving!? "Yay for the Pilgrims! We're glad your ancestors left and survived and gained independence from us because now we take more American dollars than any for our MMORPG!" LOL

[LadyGlutter]

YAY

The QUEST IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha... all my prep work, and the thing I hadn't done was to defeat Bork in the Chaos tunnels. :P And 65 HERBLORE. Wow.

[LadyGlutter]

And Dragon Plate too!!!!!

[LadyGlutter]

And the turkeys! They are ginormous!

[LadyGlutter]

Okay. LB -- if you bother to do it, have Crazy and Law and Val only kill the turkeys. Don't bother to go on the wild goose ... turkey... chase because you can get the emote and cornucopia without the trouble of doing the whole chase. Wish I'd have known, I could have been penguin hunting instead so's I can get my herby up.

[LadyGlutter]

Oh My Gosh! I'm soooo excited. My cape is back on my shoulders again! :) :) :) Bonus, no dying, not even once!!!

EDIT:


20 NEW HAIRCUTS! Lol, I'm gonna crash off of the Runescape high soon, aren't I?

[LightBringer]

Hey LG! Are the turkeys still running around? I'll be signed in all day, but doubt I'll get much time other than lunch, if that.

Of course, the system had to crash today!!

[LadyGlutter]

I took my slice off the market, due to getting frustrated at watching it drop 5 million in as many days... +/- 5%.. Oh, we mean 10%!... apparently. And also because of this:



We have made a couple of changes to the behaviour and drop tables of the tormented demons. Due to the layout of the area they are in, they didn't behave the way we had planned, and a knock-on effect of this was that they became a lot easier to defeat. We also made an error when we calculated how many demons players would normally be able to kill over a certain period of time, which resulted in the dragon platebody parts being dropped at a more frequent rate than we had intended. To fix these problems, and to balance the demons to our initial design, the following changes have been made:

The demons will behave more appropriately against Ranged and Magic attacks, and not try to use melee attacks if the opponent is attacking them from a distance.

The drop chances of the individual dragon platebody pieces have been reduced to give the drop rate we intended, considering the frequency at which they are killed.
From the forums, quoted from Jagex staff.

So, here's the thing. All pieces, the shard, the lump, and the slice, are the exact same prices in the ge. Why is that? A "random" drop is so incredibly evenly dropped that the prices don't vary a cent?

So... I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by taking it out of the GE or not. I have real concerns... trust issues, if you will. :)

But I'm looking at it like this: I did this quest and got 400,000 experience. Right there, it was worth doing. Yes, I spent about 1.5 million doing the quest. I've made that up easily selling herbs, and expect to be back to the point where I can buy dragon chain in two days. I am going to do that, by the way, because the price of those went way down and is climbing again, now that people see this.

I'm going to let it sit in my bank and not worry about it for a while. In two months, if it's worth 40k, then it's worth 40k. 40k or 1/3 of a dragon plate isn't half bad. But if they truly are adjusting the drop rate, then these goobs dumping their pieces for junk... well.. the pieces became rarer, and all those people who just finished the quest won't be flooding the market either.


I only wish I'd done two things different -- not sold the elite, and actually gone and camped out at the Tormented Demons like I meant to while the getting was good. And even that... well, I love the game, but it's a flawed game and I know that in a week things are likely to change. So, I'm overall happy, and I'm letting the drama stay with the big merchanting class out there. That's just not me anyway.

[LightBringer]

Hey you coming out here to get this sword?

[LightBringer]

Have fun LG!!! See you guys later. Have fun tonight.

[LadyGlutter]

This thing tears through dust devils... maybe I'll get lucky. :)

[LadyGlutter]

No way. So I'm getting ready for the penguin hunting, right? Lookit this roam range for the cactus penguin:

4. Al Kharid - Cactus - 1 pt
Roam Range: bank/Shantay's Pass/palace/Mage Training Arena/Digsite/Varrock/Falador/Taverley/Catherby!

[Chris Chandler]

From Shantay's Pass to Catherby? That is... a pretty big area.

[LadyGlutter]

Yay for patience paying off. I haven't checked prices for a long time, but did this morning. Elite black bodies are back down to roughly the price I sold mine at. Whew! Now just gotta wait on someone to sell their status symbol, and I won't be worrying about future quests. :) Also, dragon platebodies are 8.5 mil right now. >.< My 13 million dragon piece is 2.4. That's cool though, because I am seriously considering buying up the others and having a spiffy platebody, even if it's not that big a deal anymore to other folks.

ETA: never let Dunk chose your clothes and hair, unless you want to be royal blue head to toe. I suspect he's a Saradomist.

[Outlawjc]

Well Wow has lost its luster to me now that we are back to raiding. It saddens me that the expansion didn't last as long and the quests ended rather quickly. I don't feel riped off but I do feel like they didn't try as hard as they did on the burning Crusade even though the BC was not lore while WotLK is a huge chunk of the lore.
I am now waiting on Diablo 3 hoping that it will fill the void but in the mean time I am going to try out Sacred 2 and NWN 2 and maybe even play around on runecrack from some friends.

[LightBringer]

You know the rune crack's good, come over to the dark side!!

[LadyGlutter]

Alright. We're officially moving to world 124 except for penguins, GOP, PC, and the like. :)

Outlaw, I'm gonna remind you, if you ever wanna play with us, you gotta let us know your name! I have a free character, named Lady Xaos, and of course, LadyGlutter is my "main".

ALSO -- Vonapier, what was the name of that game you were playing the other day?

Have you guys heard anything about this game? (http://www.mortalonline.com/) I was looking for pictures of half orc women to show Ian what XaXa looked like, and google image search linked to a really good pic (http://www.mortalonline.com/files/races/FemaleHalfOrcInText.jpg), much more similar to how I mentally see XaXa's facial features than the nasty picture in the D&D handbook, from their website. (That's a drawing of a full orc, in my opinion.) Anyway, Chris and I were wondering have you heard of it? The screenies are absolutely beautiful.

[LadyGlutter]

As you may know, we recently made some changes to the Culinaromancer’s chest in Lumbridge and the gnome cuisine fruit ‘n’ veg shop in the Grand Tree. We have now reconsidered these changes, and have decided to implement a different approach: we have returned the shops’ stock prices to their former state, and have removed the option to sell stock back to those shops.
Finally, we’ve taken on board the feedback you gave us about last month’s quest list improvement, and made changes in response to some common issues. New text makes it clear when not all quests are shown, but the best improvements are behind the scenes: the options you set before you log out will be there again when you return, and we have greatly reduced the delay involved in switching the list between quests and achievements.


They listened. w00t!

[LightBringer]

I am glad, but not impressed. They should have thought of that in the first place.

[LightBringer]

My question would be then A, who did you game with on WC? From what I've seen there are always people looking for groups to run dungeons and raids with them.

[LadyGlutter]

Runescape is incredibly over the top glitchy today. So far, I've heard, you can't summon familiars, you can't step west after lighting a fire, I couldn't get into my bank, POH rooms are locked, aggressive monsters aren't aggressive, you can't cast certain spells.... I'm going to see how it works at lunchtime but WOW, I should warn you.

[LightBringer]

I already went out. I finished my slaying, and retrieved my kingdom riches, but couldn't access the GE, or the bank at the GE.

[Chris Chandler]

I had no issues, and I was slaughtering defenseless iron dragons. Chair-Keyboard interface error, I say.

I will say, though that I was regaining run energy like gangbusters! It was quite helpful.

[Outlawjc]

Mortal Online Release date Q4 2009 WOOOTTTTTT
and pre-order begins june 28 at 4pm here again WOOOOTTT
every pre-order gives a beta key that last until launch once more WOOOOTTTT

if you can't tell I'm excited.

[Chris Chandler]

Mortal? Is that anything like Halo?

[LadyGlutter]

:)

It really does look super cool. As long as it's not like Oblivion really, because that game is boring. I know... I've watched across the room while reading a book. That makes me an expert. :)

Also, Chair-Keyboard Interface errors? Maybe so... they aren't really my domain, Chris, so I'll have to rely on your overwhelming experience.

[Outlawjc]

No its not like Halo Think Oblivion but you create and mold the world based on your actions.

[Outlawjc]

One more week hopefully until we can pre-order and get into the beta, they had some problems with their ordering system...

[LadyGlutter]

And to think, all this frenzy because you guys pictured XaXa all wrong.

[Chris Chandler]

It's true. It's LG's fault - totally.

[LadyGlutter]

Do you want to date my avatar? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU)

[Chris Chandler]

That is awesome!!! And totally not impossible to laugh at during work!!!

[Vash The Stampide]

:O awesome

[LightBringer]

Yeah, that one is pretty cool.

[LadyGlutter]

Last night, Chris asked me had you watched The Guild (http://www.watchtheguild.com/), LB? Season 1 or 2? They're also on YouTube. (Or Dr. Horrible (http://www.drhorrible.com/mushortio.html), for that matter. But that's another matter, it's just Joss Whedon [from Buffy] writing and Felicia Day acting and zomg, yum! So much fun!)

Anyway, I didn't know. I've linked to it on the blog, and maybe here, but that doesn't mean you've watched it. It's all the characters in that video, playing an unknown MMO (WoW). But we agreed you'd absolutely love the crap out of it, if you had the time to watch. So funny!

[LightBringer]

No, I haven't seen it before, but, yeah, that was funny as hell. LOL

[LadyGlutter]

Which did you watch, LB? Season 1? Because Season 2 makes much more sense after season 1. Or Dr. HOrrible. Or all of em? You really gotta watch them all, allllll I say!

I'm gonna meet Felicia Day this weekend! And William Shatner! Woohooooo!

Oh, and I'm a little bit hyper this morning, apparently. Not sure if it shows. >.<

[LightBringer]

I had time to watch the Guild one you were linked to. Although I watched the season 3 ep 1 of The Guild yesterday.

FIght! Fight! Fight!

[LadyGlutter]

Oooooh, season 3?! YAY!

[LadyGlutter]

Fun fact: when you do Tears of Guthix, and your low stat is thieving, you get the message, "You feel your respect for other people's property slipping away."

[LightBringer]

Lol, thats a good one.

[LadyGlutter]

I think I want me a fire cape!

[LightBringer]

What does that consist of? I think I have time issues, if I remember our last discussion of that.

[LadyGlutter]

Killing wave upon wave of Tzhaar, finally defeating Jad, etc. Yeah, it's time that will be the big deal probably. That's why it occurred to me that I actually could do it! We're plenty strong enough. But, that's after getting my quest cape back, of course. :)

[LightBringer]

I got my Kights of the Ebon Blade tabard last night. Keth looks soooo cool now. :)

I see A has had the flu. I was wondering what happened to GC.

[Vonapier]

Well i dunno what I've got to be honest. But I've been on to do my dailies and other such stuff. Everyone wants to know why you wont come over to our server but i bet you like killing any ally at will eh? hah.

And speaking of your Ebon Blade tabard, i just got exalted with them on my shammy. And yes i do agree, the tabard does kick ass. :)

[LightBringer]

Yes indeed it does. I was just able to get the tabard. I should get up to honored tonight.

Yeah there are a lot of Allies I have to track down and kill in payment for ganking me. :D Mostly though I already have PvP commitments to my group. If it were just me I'd probably move over, but it's not. If you want tell me which server and I'll start something new. Course it will be awhile before I can run with you.

[LightBringer]

So guys, what do you think about the updates? I used the random dungeon finder yesterday, and had a blast!

[LadyGlutter]

I think this quest is AWESOME.

[Chris Chandler]

I've only got about 3 more attack levels and I can do it!

[LadyGlutter]

Yeah, you're flying through those levels, too. Well, I guess it's not really the same as if you were actually sitting at the computer while playing. AFKer!!!

[LadyGlutter]

Wow. That was a TOUGH quest!

Now I have 150,000 combat exp 3 times! It just has to be in a skill that's 75 or more, which means stinking prayer is out. Unless I train it up that high... hmmm.

[LadyGlutter]

LOL

Dudes, poor LB is totally trying to talk WoW with you jokers. Ignore Chris and me and read post 161.

[Chris Chandler]

Yeah - talk back to LB!

Oh, and I only have one quest remaining!

[LightBringer]

Whatever! I'm just here on my own saving Metzen, making gingerbread cookies, and being turned into a Christmas elf dressed in a green Santa suit.

I can't wait to go smack the crap outta allies and get me a few more achievements.

Knock that bad boy out C. With the holidays you may get to wear that cape a month without having to worry about the next quest.

[Chris Chandler]

I started on it last night, and it looks like I should finish today.

[LadyGlutter]

Woohoo! You're one of the cool people now. ;)

[Chris Chandler]

Quest cape yesterday!

75 runecrafting today! Spitting distance to blood runes!

[Outlawjc]

oh yea well mortal has released its full 100 main skills and close to the 1000 secondary skills

[Chris Chandler]

Are the races implemented yet?

[LadyGlutter]

So, I'm going to need some information on servers and names of characters.... :)

[Chris Chandler]

So, Outlaw's face was apparently priceless when he saw LG playing Saturday.

[LightBringer]

I was quite shocked to find a letter from Xaxa waiting for me, as well.

I can't wait to see Merrimoon.

Btw, the reason I haven't been out to RS is that virus smacked a lot of my files while I was trying to, and succeeding in, kicking it's ass. It seems to have really done a job on my Java folders. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Java, but RS keeps telling me that Java's not on my computer. I'll figure it out sooner or later.

[LightBringer]

SOooooo, I finally got Java working and managed to sign into RS for a short bit yesterday.

Lol, the first thing I noticed was that I had 850 hit points. That tickled me and made me smile, but I just about fell out when I hit for 303 points of damage. LOL What do they think?!? That they're WoW?

Other than that, there were the same people in the GE bitching about fletching being boring, yada yada.

I must say though, there seemed to be fewer people wandering around. I may have caught it at an odd time though.

[LadyGlutter]

The reasoning behind the X10 hp was because when a chicken hits you for 1 or 2 hp early on, that's 10-20% of your hitpoints. X10 gives them a little more room to help out those n00bs. Yeah, surprising, it was a n00b update.

I need to log in myself and do the Easter event. Quite frankly I'm a little burnt out of RS in general, anyway. It got to be like a job recently and that's the death of any game for me. I don't blame RS itself, but maybe it is their fault. Since Nomad it hasn't been the same for some reason.

[Chris Chandler]

It's all about Nomad for me. the quest was a bruiser and the contention about the quest just really made it not-fun. I'll likely get more involved, but I just need a break from it right now. Been playing a few single-player games I'd been meaning to instead.

I do check in every once in a while, but I dunno... meh.

[LadyGlutter]

I'm dying to do the whole Easter Bunny Jr. nonsense, lemmetellya. ;)

In other news, I died by being shot out of a cannon last night on WoW. And it made me happy.

[LightBringer]

lol, Shot out of a canon?!? That's a new one for me. Where was that?

[LadyGlutter]

Thunder Bluff. :)

[LightBringer]

Hmmm, I'll have to check...nvm you died. Why would I do that?!? LOL

[Chris Chandler]

So, the new RS skill is here... Dungeoneering. Let's see how that pans out.

[LadyGlutter]

To be fair, I was told how not to die. I just forgot to pull up at the last moment.

And dungeoneering. Woo. Pretty sure they said it was going to be a unique skill.

[LightBringer]

Ahhh, yes, it helps to pull up. lol

I saw that yesterday, but didn't make any effort to go to the new area they created. It's on the side of the wild, so I wonder if they are going to allow pk'ing?

[LadyGlutter]

So, someone was jonesing pretty bad today to get onto WoW... :D He called me and couldn't wait til I got home to put in my info to rez his character... Heehee, I can't believe I've recorrupted the group. Chris is the lone holdout!

Minions!

[LightBringer]

Lol, I had a good time run through the Chasm with Luthious and Merri!! Keep me updated on your levels, since you'll probably run past my 'Lock. I'll give you the name of my rogue if you catch him before he gets to 80, and we can do some dungeons.

Have you used the new random dungeon feature yet?

[LadyGlutter]

Someone got a farming level without letting me see fireworks.

Boo.

Speaking of which, I'm awfully close to 94. ;)

[Chris Chandler]

Hey, I just got all my skills about level 6.

Dungeoneering is... not the skill I'd hoped for.

[LightBringer]

I still haven't made it into the dungeons. I'm basically picking fruit and working the serfs.

[Chris Chandler]

I don't think you'll like it.

[LadyGlutter]

I hate it.

In other news, my computer appears to have power supply issues right now. I'm not avoiding WoW for any reason except I can't get my computer to stay on for more than 12 seconds. :depry::tsk::cry:

[LightBringer]

Sorry to hear, I hope it gets better soon.

[Vonapier]

Now, in WoW, ive lost the will to pvp and some aspects of pve. It may be for that time to just drop wow soon. But in the mean time that i am still here ill drop my two cents and we will see who wants to spend it or keep it.

Ive been thinking alot about the crafting systems, I think it to be a good idea gone wrong. This system could have gone soo much better if they just took some extra time and started making them all complex. NOW and idea on how to do this, instead of just QQing, is to make it to where every profession could mesh with one another. Now i know that you can make some leather gloves then pop and enchant on it and put a gem inside of them after slotting it with black smithing, sure, BUT what if they put a slight spin in it?

Lets stick with the leather gloves. Druids and Rogues could use this item of course, BUT WHAT IF we got, oh say, blacksmiths to make some plating for gloves? eh? metal plating+gloves=some mail piece OR hell some plate mail piece!

Now lets not stop there! lets put a stop to the tier process. By this i mean lets not grind x amount of peacebloom for herbalists for this amount of potions. Lets instead incorporate a system where it UTILIZES that same peacebloom into later potions. For example, lets use peacebloom for a more effective potion than useing something like goldclover. What if peacebloom provided more of an effect and made a better item? On that subject, lets talk about random! Would it hurt to put a little randomness and diversity in the profession that is alchemy. BUT WAIT! lets not stop there! Lets talk more!

Now lets say we used my handy dandy alchemical skills to make a potion. Knowing my extensive knowledge of alchemy, i know that i might need a little more kick than just my gay little flower power can accomplish. We might need a dust or powder from, oh lets say, METAL! HEY, ILL NEED A SMELTER OR BLACKSMITH! hey hey! I think i just created a need to get more peacebloom and iron "dust" to make a better armor potion or elixer? Hell i might have just made a better gaming experience by shocking a little more life back into the lower level areas of the game? HELL id foresee a rise in prices for the economy!

Now far be it from me to say wow is a bad game. Its an awesome game and it very well my be around for a few more years, if not more. But with a few teeny, tiny ideas like this should help it become a much better game. Keep your kid graphics, keep the easy playability, but Jesus Christ lets get a little more diversity in the fucking game to keep the "Veteran" players goin in OTHER ways than throwing "endgame" content at us.

[LightBringer]

Okay Von, I'll take your 2 cents, and give you some change. :cool:

You don't go into any details on your lost will to PVP, and I have no direct input(since you don't PVP where I PVP).

I'm at a loss as to which style of PVP you are tired of. I mean, you can do any of the, what 8, battlegrounds, any time you choose. There's 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 arena, all of which take different tatics. Heck there's just PUGing arena now that I think about it (where you sign up and get assigned a random partner/s). There is also just ganking some low levels until they get some higher levels to come and try to run you away. Then you get to test your skills against them in a less formal arena style match. You could outnumber them. They could outnumber you. Trying to outwit them while getting your body back. It's almost endless. Is it that you are so great you never lose? Or, are you sucking wind so much you never win? (I'm closer to the second category myself, but I still love PVPing.)

As far as the skills go, I agree that they could be a little more robust. I am confused though that you say they need to be more complex, then start taking out materials, like goldclover, and simply want to use peacebloom for higher levels potions. This seems like making it simpler to me, not more complex.

Now if they did like you are suggesting later in you post, and bring peacebloom back with another agent to make a more potent version of something, that is adding some complexity, and making the materials a little more valuable. I wouldn't say they would dramatically increase, since peacebloom is still a common herb, but they would go up some, due to more useage.

I think they do, do a good job of meshing the professions. What I would rather see though, is the ability to learn 3 or even 4 professions. It would allow those players that just want to buy their skills to continue doing so, but those of us who like to be self-reliant could do more things on our own. Like you said, I would love to skin my kill, craft my 'gloves', socket them, and cut my own gems to place in them. I'd still have to buy the gems, since I can't mine, or have someone slot them, since I wouldn't have blacksmithing. So you wouldn't be able to do EVERYTHING on your own, but it would be close.

As far as Veteran players go, there's nothing but end game content to add for them. It's that way for every game I've ever played. It's like saying, 'Add another freaking goblin to your campaign DM. I know my level 50 Warrior won't get any XP for them, but I'm tired of just killing the green ones!' They could make all the new low level products they want, but why would any skill level 450 make them. Even if they made new high level items, you are maxed out on level. That doesn't convince me to start making those new items (unless they could be useful to my toon), or drop my current profession and learn a whole new one for a few new shinies. So, I'm afraid no matter how much you think that adding end game content sucks, for the majority of maxed out toons, that is the only way to add new stuff for them, and keep them interested. :worry:

Even so, I find it hard to believe you've explored every inch of the world, and completed every achievement, and maxed out every reputation available. If you have, I give you cudo's, but if you haven't, then there is still plenty to do.

Btw, I miss Gnomecleats! :\

[Vonapier]

i see what your saying, but getting achievements isn't what i want to do. You may like it but it just isn't my cup of tea. And yes i have explored all the regions of WoW, over 5 years i know most of the place by heart and the places i dont is because i have no need to be there. Also, in my honest opinion, i dont want to be "topped out" so to speak. Not being able to progress further in the game due to no content. It sucks, it happens to all of us but it sucks.

Now after digging in internet for 2 days i have found Fallen Earth. Fallen Earth is almost similar to Fallout 3 BUT with all the mix and professions i was QQing about. This (http://www.fallenearth.com/node/12) is what i was looking for. It greatly appeals to me. And yes i do agree with you that one should be able to learn 3 or 4 professions in WoW. I have been discouraged in placing faith into blizzard with The World of Warcraft due to the terms of service i read while trying to find a way to send them my idea personally. It reads as follows:

"We appreciate the time and energy people put into making suggestions for our current and future games. Our company policy, however, prevents us from accepting for review any unsolicited ideas. Often in our industry, an idea being submitted will be identical or similar to one already used by other companies, or already being independently developed by or for a company. Therefore, Blizzard Entertainment® has adopted the unalterable policy of refusing to accept or look at any unsolicited submissions or ideas. You can post your suggestions to our Suggestions Forum (http://forums.battle.net/board.html?forumId=12016&sid=3000)."

I just want to experiment with skill based games from this point forward. I like the way G.U.R.P.S. had skills. Romarez from the recent G.U.R.P.S. campaign was very skilled in axes and if my character picked one up i wouldnt be as skilled, therefore i would have lost in any contest of skill. That system is what intrigues me, and this game has just that.

With that being said/typed, I will just play wow till my time runs out then ill play Fallen Earth or quit playing MMO's completely for the time being. I could use the money and i have Oblivion and diablo 2 to keep my company anyhow.

[LightBringer]

I agree fully with you on the Topped Out aggrevation, but that's part of every game I believe. Every video, and MMO type game, that is.

Well, it sucks about the terms, but really that's any company who is making tons of money. Last thing Blizzard needs is someone taking them to court claiming some idea was theirs, and trying to get some kind of payout. Yes, you wouldn't to that, but there are plenty of people who would, and I'd wager a few who did. That's usually how a company ends up with a set of terms like that.

[LadyGlutter]

That was exactly what I thought when I read the terms. There's very little other way for them to cover their asses.

I don't think you're qqing. I just think that sometimes games get old. Five years is a long time, after all. I can't do the kind of intense gaming that you guys had, anyway, and I'm a newby. I'd be burnt out in no time. Do what you like to take a break, but know that on Spinebreaker some of your besties are out there goofing off and would love to have you. :)

[Vonapier]

lol I think im putting down wow for a while. Ive picked up EVE Online with Daniel and he and i are having a blast! Then again im having a blast just at my job. NOT to mention im finally getting paid next week. cant wait. Its gonna be like i dunno lol 200 dollars, im expecting that much. It most likely would be more but OH WELL :) better to get more and expect less than to expect more and get less.

So, ill just wait and bide my time till im in a great position for some expansion of the financial type.......I might need a new washer and dryer. >:(

[LadyGlutter]

You make no sense, and this thread shows it doesn't have to be that way. :D

Who is Daniel?

And don't you need the washer/dryer hookup first? Like a place to put it? Like a house/apartment/etc?

[Vonapier]

I make no sense because i suck at the english language i guess lol. and the washer and dryer at my home atm are giving all of us a hard time. i think its time for them to crap out. So ill invest in a new set or combo or what not.

Daniel is my friend, blake and jared know him. In fact i just spent the last 3 days over at his house. He and i have had a freakin blast.

[LadyGlutter]

No, your English is just fine, when you use it. You just leave sentences out like I'm supposed to understand. You know what? I just flashed back to that little trick you pulled that proved you do this on purpose. So... Nevermind.

[Chris Chandler]

Thought this episode of one of my favorite webcomics was quite appropriate for you guys:

[LadyGlutter]

I got Chris. :)

[Chris Chandler]

*sigh*

Yes yes. She got me. I'm playing a Tauren Druid (Islero) on Spinebreaker. We'll see how it goes. I'm kinda squishy right now, but it's pretty fun going out and exploring.

[LightBringer]

You won't be squishly for long dude, druids rock! I think you'll be happy with the abilities that come with the class.

[LightBringer]

WOOHOO, Val is now level 80!!

Time to gear up.

[Chris Chandler]

Grats!

[Outlawjc]

hack for the third and last time got an Authenticator!!!

[LadyGlutter]

Huh? Dude, you have a degree. I am going to be merciless from here on out. Learn to use punctuation and make sense. Please and thanks.

[Chris Chandler]

Yeah, wow, that made very little sense.

[LadyGlutter]

So, were you hacked 3 times? Did you get an authenticator 3 times? I thought you thought authenticators would get you hacked. I'm not sure what you meant. :S

Also, big congrats to Val. :cool:

Though it's funny, because I'm trying to string my leveling out as slow as possible by not doing dungeons and stuff. I even got a little bit excited when Val was nerfing our exp the other day, because I could just play without worrying about leveling. But on the other hand I feel like I have to get 80 to hang with you guys at all now. So I guess I feel both ways.

[Chris Chandler]

I agree. I'm surprised how much of this game is the destination, and not the journey. I was really looking forward to doing stuff with folks, no matter the power level.

[LightBringer]

Lol. When I read it, I saw.

I have been hacked for the third, and what will be the last time. I now have an Authenticator to prevent hacking.

I think a lot of WoW is the journey, but what happens is the false sense of 'things'. Sometimes it's a false sense of emergency. Other times it's a false sense of waste, as well as others false senses.

You feel like you are falling behind. You feel like you have to always be maximizing your time. You have the desire to see what's right around the corner. Pick a reason, I'm sure there are hundreds more.

[LadyGlutter]

>.<

Wow. It's like I'm a new player again.

[Chris Chandler]

I agree. A new learning curve.

[LadyGlutter]

Even though I'm having fun feeling the WoW right now, I think this is pretty freaking cool (http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/11/23/cataclysm-annotated-map-adventure/). Click on the map for more details... someone put a lot of work into it.

[Chris Chandler]

This is excellent - very well done.

[LightBringer]

Lol, I see you guys made it on. I was coming out to say if you thought there was a learning curve before...WoW to the curve now.

[Chris Chandler]

This comes to mind:

[LadyGlutter]

Wow - talk about too little too late. This is for LightBringer, but I'm pretty sure we've discussed it with you guys... 3 years ago!!!

[LightBringer]

Lol, I was just coming out to tell you about that.

[LightBringer]

I haven't heard from LG. You or C should call me about this week.

[LadyGlutter]
