Description

What's been going on:

• Multiboxing Galore - Triple boxed Wailing Cavern with Ashayo dual boxing.

• Me on Treshel, Aprillian and Ardrion; Ashayo on Jenkle and Hiide
• Obsessed with Cooking
  • Levelling up Treshel to 300 and Rilfire to 333. Making choices on whether to keep cooking the items I could make and might not get skill points or passing objects on to Treshel
• Auntrillia doing silly Crater quests just for fun and buffs.
  • Crystals
  • Bloodpetal Pods to get healing pots
  • Morrowgrain to get weird potions and rep with Thunder Bluff
    • Does she really want a Kodo? At least it will be relatively inexpensive.

Friends

• 
  Someone brought Taverncast After Hours #3 to my attention. http://www.taverncast.com/ The guy running the show did a trial
• 
  I want to counter his view point. He made several assumption that:
  • 
    Someone being on were being irresponsible, just because he was.
  • 
    No one said anything about being total divorced from the real world
  • 
    Not everyone is rushing to 60
  • 
    His experiment was not a reflection of real gameplay
  • 
    They took a valid and interaction and focused on the worse parts

• Why do we have friends?
  • To hang out with
  • have fun with
  • help when you need it.
• How do you pick friends
  • When I moved from an all Black neighborhood to a mostly White on in 1976, I had to make a choice. Do I hang ... I chose to hang out with people I had something in common with
  • In WoW
    • By guild affilliation
    • Needs
    • WoW is less subjective to physical judging (is this good or bad?)

 
I think the hardest thing for the non WoW players to understand is the complexity of the game. The viewpoint is that it is merely a shootem up game and we as players are spending hours firing weapons and killing things. While there is a large amount of this going on, a lot of time is spent doing so many other things.

• Interacting with others
• AH - figuring strategies, doing research.
• The dynamics change
