In the meantime, and Stratics...

So if you have read my other blog by now, you have found out that I am currently a staff member writing about EQ2 for Stratics. So.. how can I possibly be of any help there when I am no longer playing? Well, tons of screenies and past experience with the inital stuff of course. There is plenty for me to write about. Weather it be pets (funnily enough, I haven't written about yet) or past experiences raiding, or walkthrus... I am seriously surprised how much I remember from back in the day. However, since I was at one time completely and totally immersed in the world of Norrath, I do what I can for them.
I talked to Soulgrinder a little bit ago. I am glad that he is doing well.
I heard that alot of people dropped from Malice . People just stopped logging on or had their issues. Found it hard to believe, but some people's egos got even bigger than before. It seems that the drama never stops in high end guilds.
Soul is a sweet guy though. He does his wand waveing, takes his loot, and gets out of there. He's one of those guys that just is fairly quiet about things.. he just doesn't want to get involved in all the drama and things.
I can't blame him. Part of me wishes it had been that easy. Of course, it wasn't. People that were once nice pulled 180's. It is truly sad. But, it doesn't surprise me. The high end game is nothing but a reach for the highest tops, and I just stood in the way for some people.
Things are much happier here now. I do my stories every once in awhile for Stratics, but most of the time I am relaxing with my family.
Anj and I are looking forward to our future... we have a baby girl due in April, and plans to possibly move somewhere else in order to have a bigger place to raise our ever growing family. We try not to think of the past memories as much. We mention our good travels in Norrath, but not to think about the rest. We will briefly mention how they butchered our classes to all submission.. and how if they hadn't done that, then perhaps we would have still been playing.
I got a newsletter from Sony about some of the new changes that they are going to put into place. They are finally caveing in, and going to allow full scale PVP servers. Man, am I glad that I got out when I did. Oye.
