Guild Wars

Well now, it has been a while, hasn't it? Sorry about that. I guess that happens when one gets sucked in plays too much. Add to that much has been happening.

Where did we last leave our intrepid explorers? Schokti moved on to the guild Hellraisers, and I believe I was around level 62. Hrm. That was a while ago. Schokti has now pretty much become my main. At level 70 she has become fairly nicely outfitted and is Kara keyed. Things did not work out so well with Hellraisers, and while the guild has potential, it was not what, in the end, I was looking for. So Schokti and Himhotepp are members of Death Threat. This guild is very small (16 members, I think) and only a few of us are not keyed. That is only a matter of time, and soon we will be able to do a few Kara runs. I got keyed three days into the guild and we ran our first guild only run into Black Morass. What a rush! I love that instance! Even with two portal stone glitches we rocked the place. I can't wait to see what the heroic version is like.

My recent guild jumping has made me wonder what makes a guild sucessful. In Hellraisers, we managed to get to 130 members - then there was a mass exodus when Kara events did not go as planned. I left when I had finally had enough of trying to get any guild members to help me with my BM key. It is unfortunate, and I truely hope this guild gets back on its feet. If nothing else, there are good people there.

We still have Cursed Earth, which is in limbo. We also only have about 18 members there, mostly in the 16-30 range. I would love to have this as a thriving guild but I really don't want to put the effort into it. I know - reap what you sew. Perhaps one day.

In the mean time, Barbaracue has made it to the outlands, and is now level 61 and rapidly advancing. Kaewhy is now my farmer, grinding primals for various money making things I am doing. I will respec her to combat one of these days, and try and get her PvP geared. One day.

My frustrations with Schokti recently caused me to check out life as a tank. I started a warrior, again, and this time really getting it. Understanding the purpose of a tank and wrapping my head around the concept of threat is helping. He is only level 16, but I plan on levelling him quickly.

In other news, Shamue, at level 42, got deleted. She hasn't been played in over a year. I still had all my talent points from when they gave back all the shaman points three patches (I think) ago. That should be a hint and a half.

That's all the news for now. Perhaps I won't wait 6 months before I post again.
