I have + 650 healing or + 550 spell damage on my shaman.. lol I have a tier 2 mage and a full Bloodfang rogue. And to get that I had to raid 4 nights a week. That's not counting everything else you do on other days. That game is awesome but just takes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much time.

And to make it all worse, after you spend countless hours achieving something to get some new items they just release better ones a month later.. lol
So you can never really be ahead of the game for more then a few months and then everyone catches up. Even if you have pimp ass guild

Mike, your post back in Jan/Feb is what caught my eye to WoW. I ended up buying it to see what it was like. Thanks to you I am a WoW addict. LOL

Best game ever. Really.

I had so much stuff from all the killing... Castle, keeps, towers...
One day i was put in jail in UO. And the GM fucker wanted to ban me.
However he realesed me and i put all the stuff i owned on different accounts and then did some bad things and got banned. But it was worth it.

I sold all my shit :)

i went outside and got a haircut! talked to my hairdresser about WoW and they didnt really get it :(

i also had a shave, and went to the gym. as I was rowing, I looked in the mirror and was surprised to not see a bear :O i looked down at my hands, and as reality started to dawn on me, i went to starbucks and got a gingerbread latte.

my hands are shaking a little as i type this, but i just made a gallery:

its not so hard, i could make more than one of these in a day, perhaps I will make money this way! I should try out this "work" thing, if I look at the more money I make, I can get myself in real life things, rather than a mount - a bmw. rather than http://thottbot.com/beta?i=913 i can just fly business class more often!

I always laugh at the addiction that people talk about. This is how people choose to enjoy their free time. Some people are health nuts and spend hours in the gym and then hours reading workout or health magazines and books. Worse is the guy who comes home from work and spend 6-8 hours planted in front of the TV. Many people who are in the higher end game situation are being very social spending their time playing the game with in game friends and talking on Vent or TeamSpeak. INcluded with that is a huge mental stimulation from challenging PVP or Raids. Just cause you enjoy something doesn't mean you are addicted.

Actually, I have a friend that is super gamer/geek . . TeamSpeak and all. I have met some of his fellow gamers at parties and they have been doing this together for MANY years, so yeah, guess they can be sociable too.

the server has been awful for a week, with disconnects all the time. our raid was very demotivated so i made a joke pretending I was a game master saying that we would get bad loot from the next boss.. everyone laughed and we had a good time despite the disconnections. 90 minutes later I get a message saying:

"Hello Alkaline. I am sorry to tell you that due to your inappropriate behaviour earlier this evening we have decided to place a suspension on your account. This is in the best interests of the World of Warcraft community, and we urge you to read through our TOS at htttp://asds/dasd. I will now disconnect you."

:(:(:(:(

It was only a suspension, but, furious, i cancelled my account and sent them an email furious, saying how with all the server problems they destroy our raid even further by removing a key player for making a simple private joke to lighten the mood of the raid. I told them to refund my account or I will chargeback.

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

So depressed now.. 40 friends that I talked to nearly every day.. gone :(

I am meeting one of them in BKK, I have told one person about my letter to them but do not have the guts to tell my guild that I may be gone forever :(

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

oh well guess i can work more and make more money now :(:(:(:(
