C'mon Blizzard...

I decided to move my main to my RP server. Unfortunately I had paid $25 to move him to that server to take part in endgame with friends... then discovered that I didn't really like raiding. He has 8K gold on him, and my rogue has never had more than 100 gold, and the idea of having to buy mounts scares me, so... Another $25 to move the character again, bah. Basically I feel like I'm buying gold.

Too bad I'm failing at buying gold.

Three and a half hours ago I started this process. The final page says the estimated time is an hour... but it's still not done. I know, I know, 'estimated'... I logged off for a half-hour earlier, and now I've been logged off another half-hour... (The page says the character cannot be logged on, but from the first time I seemed to recall that they wanted the whole account logged off, so...)

So bored!

On a related note, my random LJ image sites are all dead. LJ killed the feed, blah. (And when I googled for information on this, my LJ came up as the fifth result. Ha! Not very handy!)

*stabs WoW* At least I got lots of stuff done before I logged off. naikitty ran me through SM a couple times and I hit 36! Woot! Almost up to epic mount 40!

Ha ha yes. But they have said their goal is to get people to endgame ASAP, because that's where the fun us, so they're making leveling as easy as possible. I really am surprised that people don't start out with mounts though...

Death Knights do!

Ha ha, good point!

"Welcome to WoW, here's a level 80!"

*laughs* Yay no XPing at all!

[pomr.livejournal.com]

Well, XPing is generally not much fun after the first time. =)

Generally. =)

Though it is hard to learn the class without you know, having played it. =) Call me kooky.

Oh yeah, I wasn't really being serious. :D

It's interesting the types of experience you get playing, too. 70-something levels of questing didn't get me ready for PvPing, but the endless PvPing I'm doing on my rogue seems to apply well to questing.

But...Achika knows how to play MNK and he's AFK 3/4 of the time on that job!

People are fast learners. No wait that's not right.

People are fast to figure out what will make other people think they are awesome. Thus they will quickly pick up a new 80 and know what to do because awesome people will call them awesome for doing stuff right! And if they do stuff wrong, well then anyone who calls them out on it is a fag and I'm sure their mother will somehow be brought in on the discussion! :P (God I hate online "communities")

Don't joke about that, I've seen it done.

Yes, that's by the company that makes the game.

Wow.

That's... just... wow.

*makes a note never to play that game*

Amusing that they can even sell it for in-game money. Hello legal goldselling?

[achika-soladia.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I never even read that. I quit the game around the time they first put it in, when your only options were mage, crafter, or standard weapon user. They didn't have paladin or necromancer or any of that at the time.

Back then, the instructions told you to call a GM and they'd confirm you had paid for it, and give you everything there. Sounds like a tangible item now.
