Anyway, I figured I’d just point out that not everyone who mentions *their* old whateverous is doing so because they wish they were still there or think the old way was better.

Ack. I promise I know how to spell. *sigh*

I just found your blog, and I’m loving it. I’m not a raider, but I still find your blog interesting, so that should say something (what, I’m not sure )

Anyway, in reference to your point “This Isn’t Your Last Guild” I figured I’d point something out that may not have occurred to you. I got in “trouble” with this issue back in college – certainly I didn’t win friends. I had gone through 5 years of Army ROTC in Jr. High and High School, and then I got to college and was in Air Force ROTC. There were some differences, to say the least.

I would ask questions to clarify things, and often preface it with “We would do it this way. But you want it like this… and list differences” Now that I’m older, I can see why people would possibly think I was complaining, or saying my way was better. That was, in fact, not the case. It was me trying to clarify the differences and cement them in my thick skull.

Anyway, I figured I’d just point out that not everyone who mentions there old whateverous is doing so because they wish they were still there or think the old way was better.

Thanks again for the great blog – it’s good reading

Doomhammer. I was on there for a few months after launch, probably didn’t see me.

Which realm? I wonder if we might have known each other in passing.

Oh, one more thing. You are on the first realm I ever played on. I was a night elf rogue (before I became a zombie rogue on my new server)

Not to sound overly dramatic or anything but this is mostly true, but alot of it points to a more work perspective. THAT HAS TO STOP. THIS game is not a job, this game is made to have fun and be entertained, dont get me wrong, unseriousness is a bitch named… something, but to quote “you are here only to raid” sounds baaaaad, you are here to progress in the game, you are here to enjoy the raid, you ARE here to HAVE FUN.

Sorry but even though most you wrote was “right” it still should be said in a different tone.

Too serious for my taste.

Sargeras is a dangerously devious man.. er, titan, or whatever he is. He has my thanks for recommending me to others, even if you are a zombie.

And I agree with your opinion of “internet females.” I’ve considered writing an entry based on how I feel about it all, but I’m bound to offend.

Most women who play WoW that I know do nothing but sit around in guild chat flirting with every nerd that speaks with them. To find one who not only plays the game but is this versed in the matters of relations and game mechanics is a breath of fresh air. This zombie is pleased.
