*waves* I have been enjoying learning to craft in DDO.  Ok,  you caught me. *blushes* I am not a good liar! Our static group second generation character’s are working towards level 5.  As a group, they have been passing all ingredients to me.  They have also been giving the odd weapon or armor to deconstruct. Last night I had a full inventory, and went...

I’ve never really thought a great deal about the people around me in an MMO.  I tend to take things at face value.  Present yourself as you want to be.  It’s a fantasy world.  Create your persona, and live it out in a pixilated Shangri La .

I’ve had a busy summer.  So many games, so little time.   I can feel the fall nip in the air here at the beach at last.  I am so grateful.  As I type out this blog, I have all the windows in my house thrown open to welcome the breeze. Mostly what I’ve been up to is Everquest II while huddled under the fan blades escaping the sweltering heat. ...
