[EVE Online] I’ve spent the last week or two reading up on various corporations in EVE. I’ve been trying to find one that meets my ideals. Lately I’m missing out on the social aspect in game since a few people quit and a few people went off to PvP land.
I’ve got my eye on one that seems just about perfect for me. I’ll be contacting them soon to see how we mesh. One item of concern for me is that I plan to write here about things we do, so I’ll need to bring it up and see what they think about it. I am willing to keep some things out of the limelight, but being that this is a corp with all intentions of being neutral I don’t think it will be a huge issue.
Also, I’m going to have to sell some of my ships. I’m going to follow the rule, “don’t fly anything you can’t afford to replace”. I currently have a ship that is way over my head so it will need to go into mothballs for a while. I’ll sell the other ones I don’t need as I am assuming I’ll be relocating once I get “hired” by a corporation.

Let’s see, my account for EVE Online just expired. I’ll reactivate it soon as there are some things I still want to do - like venture into 0.0 space. A friend of mine stopped by tonight and asked me to help walk him through City of Heroes a little bit since he just purchased it. Thus, I have reactivated my CoH account at least temporarily. If he gets into that I’ll probably keep my account active just to hang out with him since he is moving across country. World of Warcraft is still active but I think it runs out in the beginning of October. I’ve had some good fun there lately so I’ll probably have to reactivate that as well.
Will I really have three accounts active? That’s just nuts. I don’t have the time for three games.

[Guild Wars] NCsoft and ArenaNet’s Guild Wars Surpasses One Million Units Sold in North America and Europe;
Acclaimed Online Game Hits Milestone in Less than Five Months; Activations Show No Sign of Slowing as Holiday Season Approaches
I wonder how many of those 1,000,000 units sold are still being used.

[World of Warcraft] I was strolling through Stranglethorn Vale one day, minding my own business. I was making my way to Booty Bay because us Alliance, unlike Horde, don’t have another flight point in STV except in BB while Horde have GG and BB. This is quite a long journey for a wee Gnome like me to make on foot with no mount. I pass a couple of Alliance dueling on the path, which is a stupid thing to do on a PvP server, and I see an Orc run past on a wolf. He stops next to the duelers and I think he’s going to gank them, so I continue on running minding my own business. What do you know? He doesn’t kill them and instead keeps running down the path in the direction I’m going.
So I’m thinking, “Ok, he must be a nice Orc.” Of course, I hear the “roar” of him dismount and obviously I expect the worse. He’s a warrior, so I wait for him to charge and stun me so I can blink out of it. He does, just like any warrior would do. So after blinking I turn and use polymorph and have to use my Gnome racial to get out of his hamstring. I was expecting him to intercept me (in-combat charge), but maybe he was a bit cocky. Needless to say, even though he was a skull to me (he ended up being a level 50 something), he was off eating some grass as a sheep while I continued my stroll.
A few seconds later he tries again. The same exact thing happens. I continue skipping down the path some more until he then tries another time but this time I ran into a 60 Alliance mage. Yep, the warrior got owned. Then a level 60 Orc warrior attacked followed up by a lower level shaman, who earth shocked me, but I cast frost nova on him and ran away. Instead of chasing me, he decides to help the 60 Warrior try and kill the 60 mage. I turn around once I see that he’s not chasing me and by the time I catch back up, the mage was already starting to kill the Shaman, so I added my scorch and fireblast in for the finishing blow.
Did I mention the level 60 mage was a Gnome as well? Yep…being a slippery Gnome rocks. Being a slippery Gnome mage rocks even more. Eat grass you stupid sheep! Why would you want to harm little ‘ol me anyways? I’m just as cute as can be!

[World of Warcraft] A good friend of mine offered to take my level 20 Undead Warlock through Shadowfang Keep in hopes of getting one of the good drops at the end. The final guy drops one of a selected few choice things and several of them would be good for me.
We worked our way through the keep (ok, he worked our way through) and we made it to the end with no problems thanks to the fact that we have done this about 8 times total together. The drop was a really nice belt that I’ll be able to use in a few levels. I also leveled to 21 during the run. We plan to go back and hope for the robes. I’ll probably hit 22 in that process as well.
The Imp in phase-shift is nice for things like this. The stamina buff gives me an additional 100 hit points and he is safe from attack so we don’t have to worry about aggro issues. I kept myself soulstoned just in case I got killed and would thus be able to rez on the spot.
Really, the whole run was good for me. I improved several armor pieces, a few of them were blue items including two rings. Nice!
I must say, even though I’ve only done two instances, Shadowfang Keep is my favorite. I guess that doesn’t say much but a few level 60 players I know say it is one of their favorites too.
On another note, the same guild that sent me a blind invite a while back has done so again. Same way. Even if you didn’t have a stupid guild name, I would not join you because of the way you invite random strangers to the guild. I would, however, be willing to join a fun guild that isn’t into hard core raiding and such all the time. If you know of a good, fun, laid-back Horde guild on Hellscream, let me know.

As Ethic has already alluded to, it is Talk Like a Pirate Day. It is also, however, the birthday of the emoticon. To celebrate both of these at once, I suggest using the following, eyepatch-clad emoticon:

Oh, and we should toss up a link to the relevant game. Yar!
