Two things and WoW/RP

thistlechaserFirst off, have I talked about The Walking Dead enough yet?
The official season two trailer. I made rather loud surprised noise once and muttered 'oh fuck' multiple times. These poor characters are in so much trouble! (As anyone would be, if there were only a small handful of living people left, the rest of the world's population turned into zombies!)
Condoms, condoms everywhere, but not a drop to drink-- er, wait. A variety of wacky (and painful looking) condoms! I wouldn't even call this 'NWS', most of them don't look anything like a condom at all.
And on WoW/RP, my planned RP fell through (because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
penwyn is a poopyhead :P ), BUT! For the first time in a long time, I found good random RP. Odd, interesting RP that makes me want to learn more about the other character. It's so nice to RP with someone who writes a good post! For weeks all I've gotten was single, poorly written sentence posts, and his were really well written and typo-free, so I'm happy! The character seems interested in Keen (??), but the guy's RSP described him as 'smells like he rarely takes a bath, hair dirty and matted', so that one of many issues with a Keen-relationship. If this goes that way at all, I could be reading it wrong or he could be leading Keen on ICly on purpose. I love not knowing for sure! I've never understood folks who like IC "spoilers".
And on WoW/gold, I've decided to stop digging in my heels. How many times have I protested I'm not going to make gold anymore? Yet I read gold blogs endlessly, still do my research. I came to the realization that I like making gold. Even if I don't need it anymore, the process is enjoyable to me, it's what makes WoWwork fun to me. So not only am I going back to it, I've gone insane and I'm going to do it on both factions.
So, based on that, I spent last night dropping and skilling professions. It's kind of funny, for weeks I've been hearing a couple people complain about how hard skilling professions is (and ask me how hard FFXI me had to bite my tongue over that!), but I've made a ton of money from it. I could have made more if I had known how well things would sell! I vendored about 90% of the stuff I made, alas. What I did save is almost all gone, 24 hours later!
It's so very confusing doing this on both factions. I already have increased confusion as to which side I'm on, ever since going back to being active on Horde as well. It's a darned good thing flight master NPCs don't kill you for going to the wrong one, because I'm back to always flying to the wrong places. (How do people be active on both factions and not go insane?)
Biggest problem with working on both sides? Impossible to babysit both AHs at once! Arg!
On Horde, I'm nearly back up to 500K. I'd have long since reached that, but I bought a number of expensive gifts for friends. On Alliance, I'm just a tiny bit from 100K. I'm still kicking myself for not buying those two vials of sand for 23K each and flipping them, but I'm such a chicken about big deals like that -- what if they didn't sell, then I'd be stuck with them and have lost all that money! But I know they probably would have and I could have made 20K profit on each. Bah.
In RL and on game, I'm very much a 'slow and steady wins the race' type person, big risks make me too nervous.
pomr and kelen talked about a new free MMO, Runes of Magic, with a professions/crafting system that's actually hard. I was this close to installing it, my mouse was over the 'click here to download' button, then I caught myself. I don't want a new MMO! If/when I leave WoW, that's it, no more MMOs. Sorry guys! <3 I had a good laugh at myself though.

Date: 2011-07-23 05:44 pm (UTC)The problem with the things we claim we're never going to do again are that it's truly what we enjoy. I enjoy leadership. I've claimed I wouldn't lead another LS after WindShire, and I made a condition on my faction change that my guild leade could never promote me to raid leader. And yet, here I am, posting stuff like this[/url].
It's an addiction. You may hate it, but deep down, it's a thrill for you. Same for me.
And I so tried to go to the wrong side of Dalaran for weeks after I faction changed. XD (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/11767-SilverwingSentinels-A-friendly-whatever-shell)
