World of Warcraft

My entry into the RP Loot Brag Thread of the essential roleplay gear we have. – I wear a White Wedding Dress when I go husband shopping. Like dat guy who walk through da daylit street holding a lantern an’ searchin’ for an honest man, I go troo da streets of Orgrimmar wit a boquet of flowers lookin’ for a rich troll. I see a troll, he look like he dress well, eat well, I ask him, “Hey! You rich?” An’ if he say “ya mon”, den I whack him on da head and get married to him before he wake up hopefully. I be a priestess so I can do dis ting pretty quick. ...

From the sale of mageweave bags, a blue necklace I got from a Syndicate spy, and 20 gold borrowed from Kayllistul, I got my mount this morning!

After a bout of instances and questing over the weekend, Kanda hit level 40 and gained Shadowform, the end of the Shadow spec tree and the mark of a Shadow priest. When you’re in Shadowform, you can’t heal, but your damage and ability to take damage improves. This makes shadow priests somewhat less desired for groups; showing up in shadow form means you don’t intend to be the healer… well, while I still solo so much, I need it more and more. The screenie of Kanda I took in the Badlands, where I was killing level 42-43 Enraged Rock Elementals. They hit hard. ...

Actually, nearly 36…

I’ve always thuoght that metagaming was the real challenge in an MMORPG. The game itself is what it is; do quests, kill stuff, conquer the world, etc. What distinguishes any game is the metagame - a game about the game - that grows around it. You can call it community, call it offtopic, call it whatever. Since we, as players, cannot directly change the game, the metagame is where we thrive; it’s wholly us. ...

Checking out my new Kanda avatar. Level 28 now. I don’t dare use it on CE web page; I’m still keeping more or less quiet about playing WoW. One of Tipa, my haffer monk on EQ2.

George Takei says, “I’m gay” People popping out all over! It’s odd and amazing how you can look at a person one day, and at the same person another day, and they become totally different. But hey, if someone had said, which Star Trek cast member is gay, I’d have picked him. I logged on to EQ, gathered my corpse and attended the Halloween raid (though the event ended prematurely for some reason). I stayed out of channels aside from cleric channel, which I kinda have to be in to do my job. Afterward, we did Jurek and one of Bininon’s 1.5 fights after (the same one I did with Felwyn on Stromm) in an RCoD instance. ...

Kanda is halfway through level 21 now in World of Warcraft, on the roleplaying server Kirin Tor. A few runs in the Wailing Caverns instance netted me seven completed quests, and some blue shoulders I can use when I level to 22. Being a roleplaying server, and also me being nearly entirely unaware of the mythos behind WoW (all I know comes from what Sylvanar told me of the Night Elves in Beta), I thought I would flesh out her backstory. ...
