As of midnight tonight, I am no longer playing Rift.

:(

I'm kinda sad, because I'll be MMO-less. Currently, I'm in the process of getting Guild Wars up and going, but NCSoft has some bullshit authenticating process they applied, and I don't have access to the original game, even though I have a serial key. It's stupid and complicated. Also, apparently Age of Conan went free-to-play. Cute. *giggle*

Because I'm going to be experiencing a dry spell, I bought a box set of an anime that I've been wanting to get forever. Should keep me entertained for a while. Or at least until NCSoft figures out how to make it so that I can play a game I bought.

Rot and I were acting silly and speculating on the massive joke that is how we met and how we ended up being together. Like what were the chances that we would've ended up together. It's just hilarious. But anyhow, in that, we began talking about the possibility of returning to World of Warcraft. It's difficult to talk about.

We wouldn't be returning because we want to, but because there's nothing left! Nothing of the caliber we are used to. At least until Star Wars: The Old Republic comes out. Rift is just not doing it for me. It just is lame that we don't have many choices. Reason I don't want to go back to WoW is because now that the game has become so mainstream, Blizzard is focusing on that audience more than the actual gamer audience. Mainstream being kids, casuals, families, and people new to the gaming world. So they dumbed it down a lot for it to be more "user friendly." I understand, because it's more money in their pockets, but there's a delicate balance there just got shat on. One of my fav WoW players who makes videos about the game pretty much hit the nail on the head in these videos, and ironically, this is exactly what Rot and I were talking about last night. :

None of these issues are new. That and how much PvP is coddled. But what am I going to do? :( I don't have very many choices.
I don't like the 'click to move' mechanic in Guild Wars. It's retarded to me. I need good ol' A W S D for realz. However, it's what's available to me so, beggars can't be choosers I suppose. I'm not about to dive right into WoW just yet. Because.. I don't want to, lol.

At least I have Windwaker.

He became one of my favorite players. :)










My very good friend, Aaron joined the Rift bandwagon too. We've played WoW for many years together






















































































































































And there you have it.

I'm not sure about WoW just yet. I'm going to let some time pass until I make a final decision. In the mean time, I'm gonna eat and watch Sex and the City because I still have a vagina, and I have to act like it.


Oh and here's the video I mentioned from Rot's birthday party:
