I'm forcing myself to break the inadvertent lj silence ( Read more... )

I'm at the point in my City of Heroes/Villains career where I can take it or leave it. I put in a lot of time last weekend but it was Double XP time, so that just plain makes sense. I rarely play during the working week.

Not that I get anything done anyway, mind you. But.

I love that you refer to it as a 'career'. /wry I have many times mused about the similarities between WoW and, you know, a job. It's scary and strange, how much voluntary and ultimately pointless work goes into playing a game like that.

The publisher walks a fine line with a subscription-based game between making sure you're having fun and making sure you're putting in enough time so that their usage and subscription numbers look good.

Not that Diablo II, which I only ever played "offline," didn't have its long stretches of slog...

aw on the anxiety. drugs good for occasional use!

and ha, I am the exact same way on gaming. I need to ration myself.

Ah, to have time for gaming...

Sorry you're so stressed out, that sounds no good :( Highly recommend anti-anxiety meds, apparently they really help with sleep.

*hugs*

... I don't *really* 'have time' for gaming, but I do it anyway sometimes. :}

IIRC you're on Cenarius, correct? I actually transferred my mage to Cenarius to play with a friend who's on that server. What's your toon's name? :)

really? cool.

Kisa is my main now (draenei hunter, recently hit 70). Who's your mage?

I like the hunter a lot, but also miss my ice-mage, who is stuck on an abandoned PVP server. She's horde, so transfers don't help. :/

Well, there's a reason they gave us room for 50 toons per account and 10 per server. :) I'm horribly OCD about my characters... I've actually got one of each class plus an extra druid and extra priest on my main server, Bronzebeard. 3 are level 70 (priest, hunter and druid) and all of the rest, save the 2nd priest, are at least level 21.

My mage is Kariell, and she's arcane/fire spec. She's also maxed out in tailoring, so if you need any bags, let me know. :) Maybe I'll play her more now that I know someone else on that server... my friend that's on there doesn't get onto WoW very often these days as he's too busy out being social.
