Patch 2.3

Unfortunately I haven't had the time I would like to play. Patch 2.3 has me breaking into otherwise scheduled time to get some game time.

My initial reaction . . . positive. I like the interface changes. I like that even non-human quest givers have the (now) ubiquitous exclamation point. And you can see quest givers on the mini-map? That rocks!

I haven't seen any of the downside hunter issues . . . probably because I'm only at lvl 40.

Another thing that I'm liking . . . ? The drop in exp needed per lvl and the increase of exp per quest. I feel like I'm leveling pre 30 again. Fast levels. I admit, without shame, that I am an immediate gratification junkie.

Oh, and I rolled another alt, surprise, surprise. At least I'm staying on the same server.

But then I read the Resto4Life blog today. From the picture displayed, it looks like they may be physically located close to me. If that's the case, I may see about starting a toon on their server and, when they will have me, joining their guild.

I have been missing much of the social aspect of the game. I do like playing with my bro, but he is in Japan and most of that guild is located in Australia. It is hard to sync with them other than on Friday or Saturday nights.

The people that brought me into the game no longer play. I miss the joy of working together with people I know and like already. The reason I am on my other server is due to my finding out that one of my coworkers plays. He was in his mid thirties when I rolled, so we still don't play much together.

Anyway. . . those are my musings for now.

Dust in the wind . . . .

The title for this post was the winner between two options. My other choice was "The times, they are a changin".

If anyone is actually reading this blog, you'll have noticed a couple of things.

First, I haven't posted in a great while.

Second, some of my toons are missing from the side bar.

While I don't have a good reason for the first, the second is something I can, and feel I have to, explain.

I finally hit the point when I was stretched too thin. I did that which I thought I would never do. . . I deleted toons. I cleaned off the toons that I knew I would never play again. I cleaned off toons from servers that I really just didn't enjoy playing on.

I am now playing on Llane, because that is where my brother plays, and Arygos. I am, for now, exclusively Alliance.

I will update as I go.
