I’m so busy
I took a good long look at WoW and decided I didn’t want to play. I canceled my account again. In a fit of madness I tracked down my EVE disks, installed, and reactivated my account. At least I thought I had. I couldn’t log into the server, it kept saying the EVE server was down. Oddly, on the log on screen, where it said the server was down, it had a message giving the times when the beta server was down. Hmm, the disk appeared to be the standard and not a beta copy, who knows. I’ve downloaded a new copy of the client, it works much better.
I couldn’t find my CDs for WoW. I wanted to install it on my MacBook Pro to see how it looked before my canceled account ran out. Here is dumb thing I’ve done #5342, I purchased a new copy of WoW for $20. I installed on the MacBook Pro and patched. It looks good, but I still don’t feel like playing WoW.
I worked my Lord of the Rings Online Champion to level 16. I remembered my level 15 class quest and went in search of the guys required. The first boss was on the other side of the swamp in BreeLand. I was trying to dodge the riff raft mobs, getting to his area. Boom, there he was and we were fighting. I tried every trick I could think of, including drinking the only health potion in my inventory. I died, but so did he. I was credited with his kill and transported across the swamp to the rez-circle. I count that as a success. My attempt on boss #2 wasn’t as successful as I got over-run by his friends. I think they were his friends. I’m not exactly sure where he is, but I think I know the area, and he is surrounded by friends who will over-run you if you aren’t careful. it was late. I called it a night and camped. Tonight, I worked him much of the way through 16 while watching Casino Royal.
I signed up for Tabula Rasa beta. I know nothing about the game, but I’ve heard people mentioning it. From the web site, it looks to be a future shootem up. In the application questionnaire they had a long list of games you had to check, “played in the past”, or “playing now.” I’ve played a large number on the list and beta quite a few as well. I don’t know if that’s good or sad. I could use a break from the hack and slash genre. I never read Tolkien anyway, other than the Hobbit.
