We should. We really should.

I just thought of something healers could play during 25man raid.

Grid Bingo.

A bedside note to you, my raid

I don't like leaving when we're struggling; but let's face it, you don't need me. If I continue to bear the brunt of my discontent, I'll start to hate you and I don't want that, dearly beloved. I nearly lost it right there on the weekend, in front of your friends, our friends, I was angry enough to throw it all away and slam the door in your face. When I realised how close I was to breaking, I knew we should Spend Some Time Apart.

I'll be back... I promise. I still love you. I still want to be with you. I want to go back to a time when I valued your companionship and appreciate the time I spend with you, instead of despising it as a waste of my few free hours. Please don't be hurt by my weakness. When I return to you, I'll treat you better.

See you next week. Much love.

Big congrats to Teldor!

No other healbot deserves this mace half as much as you. /Salute

Some things of note



Saurfang's overwhelming awesomeness is the only reason I'd go through the effort of the Borean Tundra. I hate that zone so much. Almost as much as Zul'drak. My mage is 77 and she has only done the first three zones. It's quite alarming how fast you can level.

And here is today's amusing guild chat anecdote:



And in other news:



To be honest, I was pretty meh about it.

Real Life and WoW

One thing I am constantly fascinated by is the lack of social ladders in WoW. In this game you are judged by nothing more than your skills and your ability to communicate.

There is a certain raider in our guild, who happens to be the CEO of a game development company. It's always felt very noisy of me to pry, but pretty much the original core of our guild was created by a bunch of co-workers at Krome, who sat around and decided to raid together.

Anyhoo, their boss also plays WoW and raids with us casually as a resto druid.

In my mind, I have mentally pictured him like my old boss, a man of whom I was intensely frightened of, rather in the same way a very young child is automatically frightened of very large and friendly dogs.

So it alarms me greatly when I find myself yelling at him over vent for doing something silly like standing in the bad shit and healing himself. While clearly he was in the wrong and I clearly should yell at him, where on earth did I grow these balls?

This is a man, easily twice my age, most likely twice my size, has a wife, children, more money in his wallet than me in my bank account, being scolded by a wet-behind-the-ears girl with a squeaky voice for messing up at playing a game.

It's really amazing to me, because social standing is a rather big deal for Asians, for people with parents who are sensitive about shit like this. But every time you create an avatar, it's like Blizzard has handed you a clean slate that says; 'go out and be who ever you want to be.'

Because Australians have no imagination

How come there are no Oceanic RP servers?

It does make me feel a bit silly for being so interested in RP on a normal server. Also makes you feel bloody daft for thinking about your toon as a separate entity with their own story. It becomes a shameful secret you hide in your sock drawer, behind other less dirty secrets such as you take drugs or you really enjoy romance novels.
