Howdy all. It's noon, and I just woke up. Why, might you ask? Because I am a genius and staying up until 6 am on an exam week sounds like an awesome idea to me.


It was an interesting event.. most of my time last night was spent in an instance, which. for those of you not familiar with MMOs, is kind of like a dungeon in something like Zelda, and usually done in groups of 5. Anyhow, I was in this instance 3 times. Why? Oh-ho! Let me tell you! (Warring-LONG game related bitching below.)


The first time wasn't too bad. Now, one main downside I will note here, is this was my first time doing this particular instance, so I don't know what I am looking for, both in direction to go and this one plant I had to find. Now, the first time through, I was getting a bit miffed, seeing everyone else finding this one item that needed to be scavenged, but once I said something, everyone was nice enough to show me what it looked like and let me get some. Then, about 1/4 of the way in, half of the people left, leaving us too small a party to go on.


Me and the one remaining guy made our way outside, and the plan was to get a new group and wait right outside the instance. Well, I ended up having to restock some supplies, and clear bag space, so I headed back to town. On the way back, I was able to amass a whole group, and we made our way towards the instance entrance, which is filled with pretty strong creatures.


A note... at this time, our party level was somewhere in a 19-24 range, which is good for this place. As we were going in, a level 15 priest, who is a little too low of level, comes up and starts bitching at me for an invite. I apologized, and told her we were full, which she proceeded to piss and moan about for about 7 minutes, before realizing we were not going to kick a level 20 off the team just to have an aggro magnet priest. Well, with my luck.. as we reached the instance, the dude I had been with before logs out. So now the party is like "Get the priest!" The LAST thing I wanted to do was get Ms. Undead Whiny Pants, but I did anyway. In after note, it was a decent decision.


Anyhow, we go in. I didn't tell them, but I think I fucked up the instance by being in there earlier, because the one boss wasn't there. Hehe, oops. So, we get to killing and moving through. Now, let me give you a name I will use here on out. Kinh was a orc rogue, level 20 or so. Don't remember, I was too busy yelling at him. Cause he pissed me off a li


One thing I started noticing was Kinh picking up the one quest item I mentioned earlier. Now, this was annoying because 1. the item is hard to see and 2. being a hunter, I stay back from the fight, and thus, behind the rest of the group as we would move forward, so I would not see them until someone was getting them. After him getting a ton of these things (they're few and far between), I mentioned it in chat, and he stopped grabbing them all. Not that I got many. Anyhow, we kept going without much issue, expect Kinh started grabbing the item again. I just yelled at my screen instead.


Skip to heading to the last boss. Remember me mentioning this being my first time here? Yeah. I didn't know there was a considerable gap at one area. So who falls down? I do! So the priest drops down to lead me, being oddly enough, the only one to know the way. As we're running, Kinh manages to aggro, or get the attention, everything in the area where the rest of the party was, getting them all killed. Several minutes and another leading of a team member back to the boss area, we get to the last boss, or one of them. I'll pass on explaining that. Now, as we're fighting, we get the boss killed before the rest of the stuff. And a rare bow comes up for roll. I actually stopped watching the fight to check stats. In fact, everyone but the priest did. And guess who got killed? Yep, the priest, who proceeded to bitch at us about looking at the bow. Hey, in my defense, the bow is my primary weapon, and finding a decent one on a drop is rare. So, we waited for the priest to get back to us, and then went to take on another boss, who killed us all in less than 30 seconds. So, that was the end of that group.


It was also the end of the annoyance. My higher level friend then ran me through to finish a few more quests, which nabbed me some more nice items. Huzzah.


So aside from screaming at my computer periodically, I did have fun, and was quite accomplished!


Now, time to study for my test that is in 3 hours. Whoo! See you all later!
