So, last night in guild chat, we chatted a bit about Dragon Age Origins. I mentioned, how in my first playthrough, I was clueless. I did NOT know there were romance options until Alistair swooped in. We were running around, killing the bad guys left and right, and I accidently clicked on him. Usually this would just lead to a list of things I can ask him, but not this time. No. Apparently I had crossed the mystery line into “Hai! I love you!”.
The conversation is in the video below. He had asked if I’d miss the constant battle, I replied miss it, or miss you? So when he made his little confession there, I said I don’t know, it’s too soon. I panicked, I admit it. Well, of course watch the video. You’ll see what happened and I went to “No, I liked it!” real fast. Bonus here, is tmp (user name) on the DA forum thread I hang out in (300 pages and counting), made a little tiny mod JUST for this scene. We thought it would be funny if they player’s character looked like she’d just had her world rocked…
Indeed, swooping is good. This is my current rogue, being swooped.
If I ever find the link I’ll edit this post to add it.

So, Jessrayje the shadow priest…went to Naxx to take some pot shots at the Grobbulus guy. And now? I know how gnomes must feel. Ya ever try to do frogger surrounded by beef? I’m just a teeny delicate thing, everyone’s bigger than me! And, trolls have cuter feet. Yes, I have foot envy. I admit I was a bit skittish, old habits die hard, and I had to try not to Psychic scream every time our undead rogue came into view.
But it’s ok! They make good security, cuz ya know…I’m a rockstar!
Oh, also, they’re awesome. No, noone paid me to say that. Yet. I hear the check is in the mail however.
Sidenote: when finishing nax, flying into the Alliance town …bad idea. REALLY bad idea. That frilly guy with the Varian hairdo that hangs out there, really packs a wallop.

First of all, there is a slight problem playing two different games. I was playing WoW tonight, and trying to make it work like Dragon Age: Origins. Such as, right clicking the mailbox/npc from a distance expecting my character to auto-walk over to it. Does not work in WoW. Second, no you cannot go to options and change your difficulty from normal to easy when you’re having trouble killing a mob.
Once I got that out of the way, I kept going. Why not do a tourny daily right? I slip into stealth, I start sneaking up to a mob…and bam, I’m spotted from a mile afrigginway. Dude? That never used to happen. Who nerfed stealth? I suspect a respec with a slight dip into the Sub tree in my future.
Not only was I spotted repeatedly, I somehow didn’t SEE a whole cluster of mobs behind me.
Yeah, I might be a bit rusty.

So, why the sudden shift to Horde for the Jess girls? Change of scenery in part. But in bigger part, I was homeless. Now, I understand why I was kicked, I said I was quitting. I understand cutting the dead Weight. And mind you I am HAPPY that Bear found a happy place in the game even if it means disbanding the guild.
But painting guild members in a negative light when you shut down the place, is uncalled for. Noone questions the leadership when their RL keeps them away. That was the #1 rule RL COMES FIRST. But assuming the rest of us that were dealing with real life, but not checking in “don’t give a shit” isn’t right.
I for one quit the game…or intended to, because my life was crazy. The days weren’t long enough, yet too long at the same time. I was suffering through depression, which isn’t something you just get over. I didn’t want to talk to my kids, my mom, hell even the dogs most days. I preferred to stick with single player games and wait it out. I’m STILL fighting through it…and will until the weather in WA is not gray and gloomy (Seasonal depression+Bi-polar= NOT FUN PEOPLE!!), and the deployment ends. The truck needed fixed twice, my computer died, there were teenagers to deal with, I’m the only adult and everything is currently MY job, and good lord the evening meetings to attend, and the fact that when things were scheduled it was our dinner time. Yeah, I missed the Raid for the Cure, but ya know what? I damned well donated, and I had a FRG function to attend that day…sorry Army Life stuff.
Ok, so I got kicked. Fine, dead Weight, I get it. My problem however, is that a good week or two before the doors closed…not only were all of my toons removed, but so were my husbands.
We apparently share a brain? Everything I do he does? No, no that's not how we work. Now, Bear knew my husband was deployed to Afghanistan. And he has said he understands the needed absence of military members.
He did nothing. And When I leave a comment to that effect…what happens? It gets deleted. I was calm, I was rational. I tried very hard not to be a complete bitch. But there are two sides to things, and I wanted to share mine. So…I guess I’ll do it right here where only I have a delete button.
The people that remained with SD after all the crap that went down before, were good, friendly people. They didn’t deserve to be painted in the light in which they were. And undeserving people were kicked well before the decision to close.
That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
