Stuff!

Yikes. So my life has been taken over.

See, around the time of my last post, this interesting thing happened. I got onto the open beta for World of Warcraft. I openly scoffed at the game, pointing at EQ2 and laughing in WoW's face, but it proceeded to win me over with it's pretty quests and engaging environments and easy leveling system, and before I knew it I was in love.

Quests! LOTS of quests! Quests that actually give XP, money or items that are worth your time!! Quests that give you the impression you are helping instead of grinding monsters constantly. Even guilds are soo much more fun than reading a spam of green text scrolling across my screen and occasionally taking part in a conversation.

Long story short, my EQ account has been cancelled as of Dec 14th. I will miss Aanarra, Lethanna and Onyos (and whatever my high elf Paladin's name was...). I still love Norrath, and would consider playing both EQ2 and WoW, but I'm honestly having a BLAST with the (now retail) version of WoW.

I'm in on the Icecrown server (MST) and playing the following characters:

Talanithir - NE Druid. Just hit 27
Talin - Human Paladin (5)
Boddynock - Gnome Mage (5)
Darkthorne - Undead Warlock (1)

The first ten levels blow through very easily with the newbie quests, and are fun to do. I have to say that playing these four characters both in beta and retail, there was a significantly different experience in play with all four. Different enough to amaze me. And all of them are truly fun to play as well. I'm not as concerned with stats and DPS, because quite honesly I'm having too much of a blast trying to do their quests and save the world. :-)

Play it. Love it. And if you want a guild, look us up at www.soul-bound.com.
