Phase 3: Profit !

Count this as a warm-up post…

So I have been ocassionally visit Azeorth a bit recently. Although I am still busy around like a headless chicken, I really need sometime to let my brain take a break. Outside azeroth, there are much thing to do, eg. relative to visit, excerise, task planned to be done, pet project to finish… but sometime you just want to take some time off those brain twisting task and take a break.

As Gevlon defined, I am probably of the casual player group, it’s really no point for me to keep up with the endgame stuff, since probably cannot follow up the main stream grind and always left behind. And without having friendship like Gnomeaggedon had, there are really less point of raiding.

Therefore after my studyroom finish, My Wife join me on wandering Azeorth yet again, as a Worgen couples, Warrior and Druid pair, and when she’s not available, I started leveling my Worgen Priest thru LFD. Joining the Priesthood.

As I mostly online at peak hours, finding a group as a healer is not as bad (Although if tanking gurantee a instance queue) And I started my LFD and Questing combo leveling journey.

I was surprised how many instance I missed before (Although I have to take the same dungeon 3-4 time for the leveling). I totally missed Dire Maul and Scholomance through out my Wow Career, not worth running/too troublesome as people commented before. Now with LFD tools, we occasionally drop into those instance, and have some fun with it.

The runs however, is quite linear. Although I occasionally add some random factor, e.g. wand-ing those mob off, jump around or adding some DOT if I feel really confident. But other than some shield-less Paladin / Warrior tank, it’s kinda repetitive.But all in all, priest is a fun healer class to play with, no doubt

Until next time…

Well kids, it’s true: I’ve been here for years.

So, Zekta and I had a conversation recently. It went like this:

ZEKTA: “Please come back! The Blogosphere is at an all-time low! They need you!”

Or, he said: “Wait, why are you texting me at 1am? I have to work tomorrow. What… okay, you can write again for P3P!”

So… yeah. I’m not back playing WoW yet. BUT, I think I will be soon. I have ideas. Indeed, I have ideas that I want to write about! And, in posts that will follow, I’ll tell you all about it, including which text above actually happened. But for now, I’ll say that it’s great to be back. And, furthermore, I’m now an American abroad, and as such I’ll link to some of my favorite songs about New York. Which songs?

Well, there’s the one by Billy Joel.

And then there’s the one by young Elton John.

And, finally, the one from Paul Simon, The Boxer. If you need more than the 1:41 in the video, then I suggest that you google it. And then buy the Concert in the Park set of albums. And then, please leave your comments.

Stay tuned! More to come!

(We’re back, baby!)

The Story…

I never make up my mind to say good bye here, just get posted in lower frequency while BigJimm was still working hard on sharing his thoughts (I still appreciate that and miss him).

I stopped logging into Azeroth for a year since then, due to some personal matters I shyed to share before, but after reading Gnomeaggedon’s post on Movember recently, I decided to share it with you.

One of my family members was having a mental difficulties, and the whole family was spending much effort on wrestling it. Since World of Warcraft was one of the escapes, I decided to stop encouraging it by not setting foot into it all together, and not even speaking a word of it (Not to mention blog posts).

Fighting mental illness is a full time job, and depression and helplessness spread through the whole family. We had to do everything to help.

Where have I been?

I have been to America for a week, but sadly BigJimm was just not in town at that moment.

At Daytime, I had been climbing the career ladder; an became a team leader of a team of three. Mainly for negotiate requirement, distributing tasks and trouble shooting.

On my game life, it’s nothing more than Eve for a while, then some single player game and takes up learning photography all together (Lots of spending had been done)

The most important part is that I am luckily enough to have married a cute wonderful girl who helped me get pass so much difficulties and tolerate when I am upset… There are still much to learnt and settle down but I feel very happy about this

Where is everyone else?

Most of the blogger on my Wow RSS subscription resigned, Lights dims, upon the “failure” of Catalysm, many people decided to part with Azeroth. I know I’ll miss all of them, especially Larisa who I count as my mentor at heart in my blogger life.

Gevlon and BRK are the evergreen blogger, but most of the others are left…
On the desert corner of blogging sphere, I wonder should I continue…

So What now?

Since BigJimm and Sovrun would probably stop writing for a while. I would try to transform the blog to talk about more general economy, game or not. The purpose of the blog was always be learning experience sharing, not very game specific from day one.

Although I cannot promise much update for now,
May be we can continue our journey together, for science…
