Exquisite Turmoil

Blogging

I suck so bad at blogging, seriously.  Honestly, life has been fairly boring recently.  Most of my time has been taken up with reading ratforums and sewing rathammocks and other things involved with rat obsession.  I actually registered a new domain name yesterday for ratblogging!  Don’t worry, I still intend to blog here, the rat page will just be for rat related items.

So, Dan and I have played a bit of WAR.  We’ve both got level 21 characters, mine is a Warrior Priest and his is an Ironbreaker.  The game is fun, but I’m having a little trouble getting into it.  Don’t get me wrong, it would be all too easy to get into it (we played basically nonstop for three days when we finished downloading), but as I’ve said about a million times before — I am an all or nothing person.  If I’m going to do something I am going to do it.  I don’t really want to get sucked into MMOs again, it just eats up so much time and I’ll admit that when I’m playing I kind of lose track of the world, and I don’t particularly feel like sinking back into that mire.  For that reason, I’m having trouble getting into the game.  I make myself not play as often as would be my natural inclination to do so and because of that I feel a sort of disconnect with the game.

Dan really enjoys it and would, I think, like to play in the longterm but I guess I’ll have to see where things go.  If I can find a comfortable equilibrium between playing all the time and not playing at all then I think that we’ll continue to play, but with the way I’m currently feeling about the game.. well.. I’m just not sure.  Only time will tell, I suppose.

    I’m surprised you guys actually like WAR. Maybe I should activate my copy, but I’ll probably wait and see if you’re still playing in a month or so.

    What happened to your running?

    Yar.. we’ll keep you updated.

    And as to the running.. I’m a lazy bum? QQ

    Okay, I give up. What’s your char/server? :O

    Anilay on Wolfenburg (22 Rune Priest). We started out on Drakwald but the server population was so low that we couldn’t keep playing there. Dan plays more than I do, though.. he’s Cerene / Venovia on Wolfenburg. Chad has a character there also — Morhion.

    Are you playing?

    Somewhat. I started out making some evil chars on Skull Throne and some good ones on Volkmar. I’ve taken a liking to Witch Elf and Zealot but Shadow Warrior and White Lion have somewhat piqued my interest too. But I’ve only made it to 15ish before I realized my compy isn’t good enough to play WO. Looking for cheap upgrades like more ram before I really continue.
