Reporting an absence

[Christana]

Just so you all know ima gonna probably be taking a break from l2 starting june 5th for about a week. Before you ask why I'll just say..I've been pretty bored with the game in general..several of you who know me already probably know that, so I'm gonna be trying out a new game that comes out officially june 5th ((they pushed it back ><)) for a week and see what it's like. For those who don't knwo which game I"m talking about, it's called dark and light. sorry risa, I have to check it out.. just to see. I'll be back a week after it's release to let you all know whether it's a spectacularly addicting hit or not =) but either way for now I should only be gone a week as of that day.

Funny, my subsciption to L2 stops on June 3 and I was suppose to go try WoW with a friend.

But now that I'm in clan and all, I don't think I will do it and I'll probably just buy more time for L2.

[Tregarde]

Hope you enjoy your break. And hurry back. And still pop in from time to time. And bring some ice cream back.

[Christana]

Oh I will dun worry. and es....wow is giong to bore you lol.It'll be fun the first month..but after you get your character to max level in that first month you're gonna be bored

I got up to 59 in WoW, went '..why should I hit 60? Where's the big payoff?' realized there was none, and quit.

[Christana]

Update..I'm cancelling my preorder of dark and light and not going to play it after all...too much bad feedback and really don't feel like splitting my time between two games. so no week off for me

I played WoW for about a week, got bored, and came back to L2.

[Sharae]

I played WoW for a while... It was mindless fun, but I got bored quite quickly, and pissed off with it...

L2 is a game for the long run

[Esmera]

Actually, I never really wanted to play WoW, but I had a friend playing it who asked me to try it.

But that was when I was still in Lost Order, now that I joined the Guards, i don't really want to go even just for a week.

[Esmera]

Good we just received L2 timecards where I work, I think I'll just buy one ^^

The only other online games I've played are Ultima Online and the first Lineage.

UO I played for about 4 years on the official servers, and for 2 years I helped run a private server. In terms of game mechanics, it's hard to beat - so many things to do, and the game is very customizable. But, after so long with it, I just can't find myself able to click on that shortcut and go back.

The original Lineage I played for a few days. It was little more than Diablo with better backgrounds, but there were only a few character models - a single one for each class, and nothing changed no matter what armour you wore - so it looked like a world of clones! Didn't like it, never went back.

Then, of course a few months ago I picked up L2. It was on sale and I love the music composer Bill Brown makes, so I figured that at the worst I was essentially buying a soundtrack. Then I made the mistake of doing some research and found the RP community. The rest you know. *wink*

[Esmera]

After the past couple days Es could use a rest anyway.

reupdating..apparently since getting refunded on my purchase of dark and light is akin to cancelling an aol account (for anyone who's tried, at least in the early 90's, you know what I'm talking about) I'm giving up lol. I've already been charged and odds are by the time they decide to give me a refun the free month you get wiht the game will be over with...sooo I'm gonna go ahead and give it a try, so my week off is on again =P

[Makora]

speaking of absenses. I'll be gone all day Saturday. I might be on at night though.

(sorry to steal the thread. It's all you christy)

[Christana]

don't worry I don't take it personally ((injects makora with arsenic while he sleeps ))
