Back to gaming.

I always feel a little nervous when I have not played a game in some time. Two to three months, or more, is a long time. I usually get into the game and just... tinker doing little bits of nothing before diving in. Eventually, I get to the point where I begin to play. I choose a character I have had better luck with, as for survivability. And so it went. Unless you play World of Warcraft, you probably do not know what a warlock is. In game, it is a number of things, but mostly you might understand it as a good guy (can be bad though) who uses bad magic. After I leveled as much as I could with that character before rested experience bonuses ran out, I went to my rogue. Well, those characters are assassins, thieves, and dirty fighters. I also set up my druid (good guy with nature magic, give or take). The druid is my highest level character, and would be called on for raids. As well, that character can get items for the lower level characters, things which advance their leveling a great deal. I played that character, fearing I had lost my ability to heal. Healing and tanking (a particular warrior configuration) are the more difficult positions to play. After setting up an add-on which helps me cast healing much more easily, and tweaking that, I am back in the game if not back on top. That will take a little time. Still...

It is good to be back in the game. I had to reset everything, from skills to game add-ons to... everything. And with 10 characters, I am going through them, setting them up, then playing them one at a time. This will kill time and demand that I stay on top of things. I have to sort in game, choose what to keep, sell, or toss sometimes. The game changes often, and keeping on top of that demands some thinking, reconfiguring characters from traits to armor to weapons.

Now, I do have some difficulty playing. The man who fixed the machine did not get both hard drives back to availabilty, though I think that was a mistake. As I do believe he found that they both still work. I may tinker with that. If I cannot get it to work, I may have to take it back. As is, I only have 1.5 gb left on the one drive I have. This seems to be a problem for WoW, the machine, or both. The memory the game needs, or the RAM uses to help it, or something, stretches beyond a certain point and I get booted. The machine simply reboots itself. No major problems occur, but I could see where problems might build up or something. Such is life in a techy world.

Well, it is time to take the trash out and then go to bed. Good night... or... morning more like it.
