Aside from the recent interest in Tribes 2 I’ve been playing a bit of World of Warcraft lately. I played it several months ago and sort of enjoyed it (my main character being a rogue) but not enough to keep playing. I then switched back to City of Villains as that expansion for City of Heroes came out, but after a few months I lost interest. I decided to pay for a month of WoW and play around in it just as ”something to do”.
This time I concentrated on my second-highest level character, a Night Elf Hunter. And I had a lot more fun this time around. I’m not sure if it was the Hunter vs. Rogue differences, or if a patch removed the annoyances or if I was simply in a different mindset and could really enjoy it this time.
So a few months later, Aluinne has hit level 40 which means she can buy a mount, which allows her to get around the game world faster. Slow travel is one of the major annoyances for me in WoW, so this is a real turning point.
There she is with her Striped Nightsaber mount and her pet Moraha (a rare tameable black lion who spawns once every twelve hours in Horde-infested lands). So yeah, there I am, being a nerd. Aluinne is on the Kel’Thuzad server with the Goon Squad. I’ve got a few other characters across other servers to play with different people, but that’s my main.
Hi – I was surfing the net for encouragement for the Medifast plan and I found your site – awesome job on your weight loss – have you been able to keep it up? I’m on day 4 and it’s still rough. I lost 75 pounds about 20 years ago on Medifast – its about the only thing that’s ever worked for me.
One of the biggest obstacles in my weight management/loss over the years has been playing computer games – specifically Everquest. It’s easy to sit here for HOURS and grind away at levels. I’ve given it up at this point, hopefully for good – I have too much going on at the minute anyway.
Anyway, thanks for your positive story – its helped. Janet
