I had to go and do it.  I had to borrow my friend's 10-day WoW pass.  Now I must play, and for once I sympathise with all you who got on board a long time ago.  I suspect I'll be totally absent from the server for at least a week or two before I calm down and feel like playing NS again.  But until then, I'm a goner.

i havent been here in like, what, a year maybe sinse my last visit?
i say, play as much as you can now and let yourself get burned out so you can carry on with other things. i was close to that point, but then i switched factions...
i get to do it all over again and i LIKE it.

my account expired in 6 days. im debating with my self whether or not to renew right away or take a break before i inevitably play again. the debates get a bit headted at times, with one side putting the other in a headlock while the other repeatedly punches him in the stomach.

I had to quit my EverQuest addiction cold turkey. Beware picking up WoW if you have some real-life obligations as everyone tells me it's very addicting.

I got hooked on NWN PWs.

Mostly cos its free.

But its that damned free hit thats the problem. Now I want a bigger PW, with more stuff implemented, and that means WoW or SWG.

The sad thing is that I have finally decided to bite the bullet and get a credit card, the last person in my family to do so despite being the oldest sibling.


We're doomed.

I suggest guild wars over wow.. its a lot less addicting, but more fun.  No month to month charge either

Note, from what I'm told, GW is more about the teambased PvP. Where ppl using better tactics and twitch skills (i dunno what tha'ts aboot) can win over an UBAR lvled group.

And also note, please don't screw up your lives by getting into massive credit card debt. I've never done so, but those companies are like the mafia, except worse. 25% interest?! Put down the bat bambino!

Aye... it's the devil...

Me and my roomie split WoW to make up for our guilt. $25 each, and $6 a month makes it... too easy...

I'm sad to say... I havn't played a lick of NS since we installed WoW. It's sad really. I'm gonna have a big comeback, I swear! Be on the lookout!

I've pretty good self control, I'm expecting a wage hike in the next month or so, it'll more than cover SWG *and* WOW, mwaha.

Might even get Matrix Online as well. No such thing as mmorpg half measures in my book.

Woah. Dude.

By the way, someone asked me the other day how I roll.

(http://www.seniorbreakfast.net/hosted/legionnaired/rollin.jpg)

Mother****er, THAT'S how I roll.

Full plate armor, and a pimped out warhorse. With my shield out, I get 4500 armor and 51.5% DR. And still 70 DPS, with a 200 point burst every 30 seconds.

With my 2h, I rip things in half.

Phew, wasn't quite so addicting once the initial newgame run burned off.  But it's still taking up a fair bit of time.  It also means my absence from NS will be short-lived.  

My younger brother was looking for a game with no monthly fee, perhaps I'll reccomend Guild Wars to him.

As awesome as that would be, he is only 11 and the language is not overly appreciated by my mother.  In fact, that puts a lot of multiplayer games out of the question  :)

It's nothing he won't hear at school. A person can't be shielded forever. She probably has no idea how bad some little kids use language. It is ridiculous.

While it is true that Paladins are offensively weak currently, a good Paladin can outlast and bludgeon most classes.

I've beaten some of the best players on the server I play on (Earthen Ring- RP), and have been beaten as well, but Paladins are certainly not opponents to be ignored.  

And here is an image for you Paladin haters. =*(

Heh Yeah. World of Warcraft has ****ed up a lot of things for me. Ive spent sooo much time on it.

My character is on Tichondrius (sp?) a PVP server. This server in fact carries several beta guilds from CB and OB before WoW went gold. So the competition is pretty intense.

As for paladins not being able to cut a wet paper towel: Well, currently Id rate myself as one of the top paladins on our PvP server. However, unlike 99% of the paladins out there I am a protection paladin, I dont have seal of command. But one things for sure, I kill any class I come across 1v1. And its not that I get luck, its consistancy in beating all types of builds and classes a good 90% of the time. I am a sword shield user specialist also. The only time I use 2hs is in certain PVP situations, otherwise you could consider me a true PvE paladin!

Comparing my own character with Goldfish here: He has more STR, STAM, AGIL, INT, and SPRT than my own character. He has about 1.7k more armor than me, and my damage is 79-144. Ive noticed hes using a sword shield combo too! This might be because Im the only paladin to use cloth/leather/mail/plate in PvP as well as PvE (Molten Core/Onyxia), which pretty much sets me aside from all the paladins that exist across servers. (Bracers are cloth, my shield is actually a book sometimes, my belt is mail along with my shoulders, my head is leather, etc).

Gearwise I have: Full Lightforge (if Im ever feeling like wearing it), Partial Lawbringer, Partial Judgement set, Epic Quest Mount, 7 2h weapons, 6 1h weapons, however my main weapon is the Hanzo Sword (35dps 1.5speed).

Goldfish, you should have shielded + hearthed in your pic :p

Edit: My hp is 3.1k, mana is 3.2k. Mind you, this is with my best gear on (I dont consider judgement/lawbringer/lightforge my best gear as opposed to the combination of cloth/leather I wear).

It's funny that they marketed WoW as needing less of your time to play, yet there are still people trying to kill the "hardest boss currently in game." I hope no one listened to the BS when they bought the game. :p

Yeah that's where I've been too. Anyone on Stormreaver? I've got a level 60 human mage on there. It's slowly starting to wear down on the interest scale though. We'll see how things look over the next couple weeks. I do feel like I've been neglecting NS and my home here at LM too much though. Hell, you leave for a couple months and people forget you exist!

For the record, we didn't forget you existed... we were just minorly worried you may have died...
