Bit of a crappy Pokemon reference for the title and for that I apologise.
Ever since coming back from Sweden ive been umming and ahhing over which game I should play. Well that decision has pretty much been made for me.
WoW it is. Maybe it had something to do with three of my guildmates coming to stay for a week but really WoW isnt THAT bad.
Sure there are issues with class balance, raider v casual etc but in the end its still a blast if you can find things to do.
Leading Aeternitas takes up a lot of my time so it was inevitable that I would return to WoW instead of EQ2. Kinda bad but lets be frank. Ive got 2 characters at max level with good gear in WoW vs 2 chars not at max level, literally unknown in shoddy gear. Call me shallow but I think I probably prefer the glitzy lights of WoW.
Shame really, no more hits from EQ2 Daily unless I actually write about EQ2. Somebody should really make a WoWDaily…… ill make a mental note and file that little idea away.
So yes the guys were here, much was discussed, some drama too!! It turned out I had a fan on the twisting nether realm forum! Someone calling me all sorts of fun and interesting names r****d etc. Well that post got swiftly deleted by mods once I informed them it was slanderous and I may feel the need to take it further, VENGEANCE IS MINE!
It could only have been a guildy due to the things said and there was only one member who we had our eye on. A Paladin called Mauno. Dont get me wrong, when he first joined Aeternitas he rocked. Finally another good paladin we can hit the 25 mans with. But following his promotion to full member things started to take a turn for the worst.
“Are we there yet, whens the next boss, is this the boss” were the sounds warbling form his mouth over vent / raid chat as we smashed through Aran trash.
His biggest flaw? refusing to use 15 miin buffs on the raid as it was “cheaper to use 5 mins” It was at this point I went macho raid leader and ordered every single member to click away their Blessing of Kings and ordered him to rebuff, which he didnt do till we had started Gruul.
THe next week was the clincher. Gruul try going down the pan due to an unlucky ground slam….. BUBBLE HEARTH. That was the final straw I vertibaly blew my top and let some obscenities fly.
SO anyway he left the guild, I pity the new one he is now in who seem they are miles back on the progress we are which I can only boggle at.
Im not a leetist prick by any stretch but I expect at least a bit of common sense from my raiders. Hell if you met me in game you’d think I was an arrogant tosser, but if you joined my guild you’d see that im confident, concerned with guild members and a pretty good leader. Sure my language on raids is XXX but we are a mature casual guild who have fun.
So back on track, one paladin, a resto shaman, mage and lock down. SO yes recruitment is open for those classes. Also want a nice new shadowpriest seeing as all of ours stopped playing. So anybody reading this who wants a new guild feel free to look at Aeternitas on Twisting Nether EU. 4 raid days a week (all 25 man content) and very laid back and casual.
I think part of what snatched me back to WoW were my friends, Hemmi, Michel, Peter and the rest you know who you are. Seeing them in the flesh, talking (and playing) WoW for a solid week with them here did wonders for me. That and I found something fun to smash my Gorehowl into, Horde skulls. The Arena gear pulled me back perticularly the shoulders. I love the looks on the season two Warrior shoulders (Same as T5) and since they are such a huge upgrade for me I went for them. Calculations are on wednesday but I know for a fact they are mine. I easily did enough for them so imba looks here we come, ill post a pic on wednesday just for kicks.
So WoW it is then, Gruul tonight before rest then Gruul tomorrow after reset gives me a busy two days of raid leading and cursing, hope there are no minors around!!!
