plaguelands.comPatching up with Everquest, two year afk break makes my epeen look like sad orc_01
Two long years after removing my poop socks from dangling strewn overhead and stumbling upon a panacea for the cat ass habitual affliction that cursed many of us pioneers and it feels like I’m high on fucking wonder lust just thinking about revisiting this part of my past. A crazed nostalgic desire succumbed my better senses triggering a tenacious urge to dust off my stealthy backstabbing assassin so I quickly swapped in the drive gadgetry where my copy of Everquest was originally laid to rest only to be met with the above proclamation.
Fucking cocksucking patches. I’m not sure how patches can be cocksucking, but they are. And if you do not appreciate my full range of expression and find it offensive, take a fleeing flying fuck off this site.
I don’t have a terrible connection to the almighty intraweb and my patience wanes, so once again SOE has cockblocked my quest for content and slayed nearly most of my motivation for continuing. I’m still wary and have not decided whether or not if this a good thing. Some things are better left in the past and not revisiting or what good that does remain will than be left sour. Afterall I’m not sure what I was expecting, not updating at all in over two years I should have known better before making the effort, but it’s definitely one benefit the Guild Wars streaming patch model has over the competition.
I will finish the remainder of this download sometime this week during my sleep deprivation and battle the spirits in my mind and when the time comes, that is if the time comes again where I’m bestowed with this sudden wonderlust urge, I’ll probably be back where I am now - logging into the World of Warcraft or bludgeoning myself in the head with a keyboard.
Krones,
I feel your pain. Riding with a friend Friday, we talked about EQ1 and how awesome it would be to have never played the game and to start now. There is so much content it is insane. We’d experience all the new stuff without being jaded and experienced in the game. (DOWN WITH CRUSHBONE!) We’re currently playing WoW and having a pretty good time. The game is still the best of its kind, but after a while it feels stale. I have had little desire to level my 57 Priest to 60 and that’s saying something.
Recently restarted on Lightninghoof where I play once a week. That’s really been a fun experience. Coming from DAoC, its good to get back into the ganking atmosphere. I’ve been ganked a few times now and I just shrug. Playing PVP adds something fun to do. However, I realize that it will get old too. Kinda like that deer I hit that’s decomposing on the side of the road.
Back to EQ1 and 2. Why can’t I be satisfied with the MMO that I currently play. It always seems the grass is made gold nuggets on the other side and I can’t seem to pick (and stay) on just one game for any amount of time. Even though most of them had good points, there always seemed to be another game that was “better”. I’ve even been considering getting a trial for EVE Online. I’ve always liked flight sims (though I hear this isn’t much of one) and it sounds like the gameplay is pretty fun once you get into it. My only fear is that it will require more time than I can give it.
So, I’m playing WoW for many reasons: wife plays, I finally talked Hresh into playing, and Night Elves are fun to masturbate too. Maybe when Vanguard comes out, I’ll give it a try but who knows.
9 Chicken Fingers of Doom
Funny you mention that, the very same thought has been crossing my mind numerous times during these last few months. If I could take back the 300 days I invested into Everquest I certainly would, which also trigger brooding thoughts on what the genre will be like in another decade. Maybe you could perform brain surgery and stitch my wrinkled lesions so I wouldn’t be so jaded.
Nice to finally meet up with your crew on the hoof, had to cut it short last night. I believe your sheep boning incantations ended up cursing me and making my stomach go into convulsions. Yargh matey, be wanting to sail the high seas next gathering, see ye’ next to the mizzen mast.
Perhaps it is because you are a fan of the genre and not just one particular game. I have the same affliction, but keep it under control by not being able to afford all the monthly subscriptions and of course being captivated by the World of Warcraft. Same case as you, my brother-in-law, sister, two real-life friends are playing since the leveling portion of the game is so accessible to all playstyles and masturbating hasn’t been this fun since I was 3 months old jerking off in my mother’s womb.
It was, indeed, wonderful to meet up with you.
Sorry about ninefingers’ propensity for sheep. We try to keep him restrained, but sometimes his medication doesn’t take.
