As some of you will know, I have picked WoW up as my 3rd MMO & the only one I'll actually pay money for (EVE I pay in ISk because I'm minted & Lotro I'm on a Founders) until such time as LOTRO releases paid-for expansions or Star Wars is released and it turns out to be an actual MMO.
Now I am not in ownership of the account that my old main (Pedesvir, Dwarf Warrior) is on, as I gave that away in 2007 to Shallow, and Ped has since had a sex and name change, and now works in a bar in downtown Pattaya
I am however playing on an account I've been nursing on and off for a year and a half or so, and surprisingly the game is pretty fun, despite what i see as awful changes (to be whined about, dont worry about that!). I have characters on two servers - as I have said in
this thread; For now I am concentrating on 5 of my stable of characters on Aszune - the DK, the Priest, the Shaman & two of the Warriors. Im doing quite well with them, levelling professions as they level (or not in some cases - go go wonderful new experience halting feature!), doing a little BG (mainly to test my raid UI), and looking around for folks from my server to dungeon with (I refuse to use the LFD tool, I'd sooner do it old school or not at all) - which means I havent done a dungeon in the few days I have been playing.
Going forward, my remaining unlevelled characters on Aszune are to be saved for Cataclysm (Im looking forward to seeing just HOW much they change the old world and if they improve it or break it CCP style) either as they are or as nameholders for new characters under the new class/race combinations they are giving existing races in Cataclysm. Some of the characters will also be kept at various levels - most likely 60, 70, 80 and a few taken to cap. The ones kept at old caps will be there to give me a way of fucking about in old content at the relevant levels without the characters out-leveling the content, even if its on my own
Anyways, I am thinking of sticking them all into a guild of my creation - when I decide on a name (Do I go all nostalgic and choose Hands of Justice, or just plain HoJ, or HoJ Reloaded (Kenzoku/BoBR/IT stylee), or Secher Nbiw (Im reading Dune again), or something else but still related to us here or something random ie Fate always wins, or Heroes & Villians, or Lazy
) that is. I have found myself unable over the years to be happy taking direction from others and so have this "need" to be the guy at the top, the one out front, so having a guild again is just me massaging my ego
If anyone wants to roll an alt on Aszune or just pop and say hi, then Im trying to spend a couple of hours a day on my characters tooling about doing stuff, theres no pressure of course, but company at various levels (NO BOOSTS - they suck) is appreciated.
To those who worry Im going to wander away from EVE, Im there for the long term - I have so much to accomplish there (my own set of Achievements if you will) that I cant leave and I can play both WoW and EVE at the same time on this rig; Lotro, I want to see if FREE to Play brings in more folks, and if so maybe try my hand at rebuilding HoJ there and playing it through, and as for other games, well we have a Steam group and I'd love to play with you folks there too!
