Odd.

As strange as it may seem, being back to gaming is quite good. It is a simple thing, the game. Or it can be as complicated as you like it. In theory, there is a best way to situate your character, arm it, use skills and spells in a specific order, which along with a few other variables produce the best results. Limits on availability of armor, weapons, gems (which enhance the equipment), and other things such as drink and food (or the resources by which to make those if you choose to spend time skilling up in cooking, fishing, and your willingness to hunt for certain meats). So, either sit back and just play for your own entertainment, or set up your character for grouping or raiding (again, groups are two to five people, raids are ten to twenty five people). So, I have a choice. Actually, I have several choices.

Since I have one main high level character and a bunch of minor characters, I can pick which way I will go on any particular day or part of a day. If battling hard for little or nothing, or so it seems, in higher level groups, I can always switch off to one of my lowbies (as I call them, my lower level players). Then I simply do quests all by myself or do lower level groups.

My guild is not very active. This is unfortunate. I would love to find a guild that works together often, on raids and in groups, and moves on to the parts of the game which require a solid, large, well diversified, guild. Actually, one of our fellow bloggers has offered this to us readers. The blogger in question is attempting to create an eighty man guild to run through the next game addition. I am working on a few things which might make joining more comfortable, and private, for me.

It sure beats simply blogging, reading other blogs (when you all deign to write! (though I understand... I used to work, and can only imagine working and having a family)), reading the "news", researching, and watching the stupidifier tube. Since I can do little physical, at the moment, I have little else to do. Hmm, now I might just turn off the cable television feed. Oh, and the telephone. Stupid phone, I hooked it back up as one business needed to call my landline for security. I just got a message for some woman, a prerecorded phone call. I did not bother to listen to it or deal with it. At least I have not been getting half a dozen or more wrong number calls a day lately. Still, it is useless to me since it will not work without electricity because the phone works through a cable modem, the only reason to have a landline is for utility when all else fails. (I got it installed because, by doing so, with it's cost through the requirement, it saved well more than half on the installation ($350 otherwise for installation went down to $120 in phone costs).

Well, time to... do something else. I can only really play for just so long. A little cleaning, a shower, and perhaps a shopping list for recipes that I am considering. That should do it. Then back to gaming. Later.
