Guild Mum

Well, playing has been hard recently because of my new RL job. I’ve been so tired. Luckily SAN is a great place to take refuge and let your hassles and worries wash away in a haze of guild chat and frivolity.

On Seph the main, we finally killed Professor Putricide. This should have been a big thing, but for me at the moment it feels flat. My guild is so capable and so incapable, all at the same time. I think we’ve hit a bit of a “Cataclysm is coming” lull. It’s bugging me because we can’t get a raid full half the time. The other half we don’t have enough choice to make it worth really trying. I’m confused by how I’m feeling. I really want to kill Lich King and I think we could do him, but the fire seems to have gone out in the guild. It feels like we’ve lost our Mojo. Guild chat is dead. People log on, do a heroic or 2 and their dailies and log off. It’s as dull as dishwater and I can’t be bothered trying to inject life into it. I feel like it’s sucked all mine out.

On a plus side, it was Mother’s Day in the UK recently. I bought myself a Wind Rider plushie from the kids. He’s GORGEOUS and so is the in-game pet you get…

I took him to the bar for a drink… he’s very good and sits nicely on chairs.

Apart from this, I got Exalted with the Ashen Verdict on our Wednesday ICC fest. Nice ring - remember that it has a socket otherwise you will be walking about looking like a noob for a few days with an empty socket. Don’t ask me how I know this

The rest of my playing time has been spent in Single Abstract Noun land. Oh, the joy of an active guild chat. Events to take part in, people to talk to, new places to visit. I can’t describe the joy I am getting from this guild. Actually I can - it’s like starting to play all over again. I feel horrible towards my friends on my “main” realm, but it is so refreshing to do something new. I am taking some tentative steps into Role Playing. I’ve done some reading, installed FlagRSP and written a first go at my “Bio” which in time I will probably cringe at….

When I get paid I will transfer my level 38 Priest over (with Heirlooms and gold) and be able to play properly again. I’m looking forward to some of the old instances and levelling in a chilled, relaxed environment.

Oh and I won one of the prizes in the fishing extravaganza we had. There are many other blogs out there with details and I don’t have time to do my own report, but it was so well organised and such amazing fun - THANKS GUYS. I think as well, I’m enjoying just being “one of the crowd” having been an Officer or Council member for so long it’s nice to not have any obligations.

Here I am - one of many …
