CoP beaten, WoW RPed, and dreams about both (FFXI, WoW)

Yay, static beat the last CoP fight last night. My feelings didn't suddenly change upon the win. I said "Ugh, thank god" out loud and that was about the end of it. CoP, the single most annoying thing in all of FFXI, is finally behind me.

Sort of.

I'm begrudging having to run around and get the 84731710 CSs in 10,000 different places (though I decided I'll do it over my lunch breaks -- I didn't really want to dig/H&C anyway). I had scheduled time to do it last night, so I was extra annoyed at finding there was a Japanese midnight wait before you could do them.

Would someone please explain that to me? You've done all the CoP crap to that point. Capped fights, dungeon crawls, traveling across the world for a CS which consists only of "what are you doing here? Go back to where the last CS was!", and then you win the final battle. Why in the world would they put a JP midnight wait after that? Is there any point, any logic, other than "let's waste the players' time"?

Damned CoP.

Anyway! Last night I had a couple dreams, one was about FFXI. LS people were doing a ZNM fight on the top of a wicker tower that was hundreds of stories high. The thing was swaying, the winds were high... and did I mention I have a slight issue with heights? Somehow, in the middle of trying not to die RL while doing this ZNM, I said over /p that I was able to see what a mob would drop before the mob was killed (I had some special plug-in for that). Totally against the ToS and I was saying it on game! Ack! So I was clinging to the tower to try not to die, just waiting for SE to ban me. (Which is ironic, since right now is the least I've ever been worried about being banned on FFXI...)

WoW! Eeeee RP! Good RP! And eee Northrend! Other than Storm Giants (who should all be forced to go do CoP and stay out of my hair), I love the place. All my open quests are level 71/orange though, and I'm still 68, so I hope they'll go well. (I got a half-level of XP in the two hours before CoP last night, so hopefully I won't be 68 for long!)

The second dream I had was about RPing (eee!). Long-gone Caboose was RPing WoW-style (sort of) with some woman. They were speaking their poses instead of typing them, but WoW-ly they were moving their characters around on the screen as they did.

PS: Boose was a rocking RPer, plus he brought a ton of yummy grapes for me to eat as I watched them! :P

Dreamwidth code?

Anyone have a spare Dreamwidth invite code? I'd like to claim my name there. Just in case. *cough*

Dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! (FFXI, WoW)

My life is all backwards tonight!

I actually got bored on WoW. *gasp!* Which annoyed me because I did my "work" (hit 69, yay!), and so I wanted to RP for the rest of the night. I couldn't get anyone to interact with me! Even when I posed directly at someone, using their name, I was ignored. :/ I spent 2-3 hours ICly, and the only person who wanted to RP with me was some girl who /whispered "do u want gf" to me. Bah! While it would be highly amusing if some woman were interested in Haken (he'd be so confused/frustrated/murderous! It'd be cute!), that whisperer was not the right person. c.c

So since I didn't want to level more, I decided to work on cooking. (Food seems mostly useless in WoW unless you're raiding(?) so I've ignored cooking until this point, but I read there are some dailies you can do if you have cooking leveled, so I wanted to work on it). But I quickly grew bored of farming low level meats, so I logged.

My security token for FFXI arrived today, so I decided to get that working, then log in to check out my satchel. Oh my god, so much space! I will never have to pack for Dynamis ever again! Not even pick up my AF/AF2! Hopefully that'll help make Dynamis a little less annoying.

When that was done, I decided to finish the last few CoP CSs. (I only had time for the three city area CSs while home for lunch.) Ran to Jeuno for those three, getting my ring at the same time (woot!). Then I went off to do those extra two CSs.

Even CoP-hating me has to admit that that final CS was pretty darned nice. This will sound freaky, but I almost didn't want it to end. And even (worse? better?) it made me remember all the things I liked about CoP: How pretty all the areas are, how much time I spent XPing my NPC on the mobs there, how the Safehold had seemed like such an exciting and new city when we first got there...

I was left feeling almost sorry for SE, as misplaced as that is. CoP could have been something great, it could have been something special. I'd like to think their hearts were in the right place and they weren't just planning to make this as long and annoying as possible... but if that's the case then it's even worse (they don't understand what players want).

Well, it's over. philia/Danoille, desant_chan/Desant, tharpy/Tharpy, Nayami, Renard, and myself, with help from achika_soladia/Achika on the pot fight. We did it together from Promy-V I think? Maybe the step before that. Quite a run.
